Speaker 4: type of shit.

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: So I just picked it up easy. All my brothers

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 5: my uh my mother brother, you know what I'm saying.

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 5: So it was just natural. I'm the youngest too, so

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: they all playing instruments. I'm like three years old. I'm

116
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 5: just watching them. So I'm just get on on the

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: keys at like five, start singing in church like probably

118
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 5: like eight, you know what I'm saying. So I'm taking

119

00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, the young genius for sure.

121
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: So like by the time I.

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 4: Was like ten, I was leading like like the big choir,

123
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,320

00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 5: So that's where it came from. Sure, what did you playing?

127
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: I played piano, bass, guitar, and drums, and.

128
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: You just learned all of it just being in the church.

129
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: Nobody figure out you just at the church. You just

130
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: it's just like you just listen to something and you

131
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 4: just try to follow it. It's osos Yeah for sure.

132
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You just absorb it. Yeah,

133
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: it's natural. It's not even something. It's like how it's

134
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: just like it's just it just happened naturally. Yeah, like

135
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: you love it. You listen to the songs in church

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: and then you just follow it and then like years

137
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 4: go by, just getting better and better by here. So

138
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: you're singing too, Yeah, hell, ye wasn't because you're from Philly.

139
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: So that's why I'm asking that, Like, so where is there?

140
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: Was there ever? Like A, I don't know if I

141
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 4: want to sing, I might want to rap. Yeah, it

142
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: was like so I used to listen like the Boys

143
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: and Men a lot. That was like the first outside

144
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: of church, the first people.

145
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, I feel where they coming from the

146
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 5: emotion and all that. So and then like growing up

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 5: in Philly, I'm just I'm still trying to find my identity.

148
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, coming from the church and

149
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: then outside of the church is going through my life,

150
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, living how I live, and

151
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: then the R and B. I'm trying to put it

152
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: all in one, you know, what I'm saying, especially with

153
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: like the type of voice I got, I would to

154
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: consider me like the best singer.

155
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: But I had to like find my sound. So he

00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: was like, all right, he his own person where it's

157

Speaker 5: I got on my way, Sam, and it took a

160
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 5: long time, Like at first, I was trying to follow

161
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: boys and man like you know what I'm saying, niggas

162
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 5: like Tank. I used to be on YouTube just watching

163
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: niggas bro like Jamie Fox, Tink, Brihman, Knight, Yeah, play

164
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: the keys.

165
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: That's that's why I want to be.

166
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: But like growing up, brou I'll say, like I ain't

167
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: gonna lie twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, Bro, y'all might disagree.

168
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 5: I feel like R and B shifted, bro oh not

169
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: Like when Tory.

170
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Lanez came out. Tory came out.

171
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I looked around. I was like, these are the people.

172
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: You already got your fan base. So you good, Brian,

173
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: you already got your fan base. But I looked around.

174
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 5: I was like, bro, I don't think femails after they

175
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: came out. I don't think these females want to hear well,

176
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: see you know.

177
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: What I'm saying.

178
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: It started seeing things shift where it's like, you gotta

179
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: create your own type of sound. You can't even just

180
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: be a regular or be singer anymore. You gotta create

181
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: your own lane. You gotta be.

182
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they gotta be different, like different, you know what.

183
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like you know what I'm saying, Brand should Taylor,

184
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 5: all these people that came out since then that created

185
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 5: their own lay.

186
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: It just had to be different. So that's how I

187
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: was like, I gotta create my own lane. But it's

188
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 4: good to it's good to hear that from from you, yea,

189
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: because as artists are now finding their way and trying

190
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: to figure out which, you know, where is their place? Yeah,

191
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: and and how how can I accomplish what I'm trying

192
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: to accomplish, Because I with you, there's a there was

193
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: a time and there still is a time where I'll

194
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 4: hear newer artists that sound like Tank are sound like

195
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: a Brian McKnight. And I don't know how that works

196
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: in this space.

197
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: Right now you're talking about they could do. It hasn't shifted.

198
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: Females get off of because the difference is is that

199
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: the males and I say this all the time. I

200
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: had to figure out how to compete with emotional rap.

201
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: That that's what it is, bro, you know what I mean.

202
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: So you're getting melody and you're getting emotions from rap,

203
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: and it looks like a rapper and it looks like

204
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: the hood.

205
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: Niggas, that's what the girls.

206
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: Unless you know, unless you fully going home your craft

207
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 4: in a whole other way and just be completely different

208
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: and you're willing to.

209
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 3: Deal with the wins and losses with that, you know

210
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: what I mean.

211
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: But hearing that, hearing you say that, bro, like that's

212
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 4: it makes perfect sense. And it makes perfect sense why

213
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: you're here today. Fact because you did your homework and

214
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: most people don't do their homework. Like, Okay, it's a shift,

215
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: it's a ship. What do I fit in that? Like

216
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: every nigga keep talking about that. We're about to do

217
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 4: Joe to see again. Yeah, no, you're not for one.

218
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: It's no Davanta and you know, and going back to it,

219
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: you're not Tank, You're not Brian McKnight like.

220
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: Them, niggas are just different. They're aliens and what I'm saying,

221
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: and it's a different time.

222
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: Like.

223
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 5: Breezy Care, I'm like, Bro, you ready to last you bro,

224
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 5: Like I was telling you, Like, Bro, I don't even

225
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 5: think we want to see a light skin nigga come

226
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 5: out and dance.

227
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: I told you, bro, Like, think about it. If a

228
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: light skin nigga come out right now and then they.

229
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: Are not having it.

230
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: You did too much, bro. Like Yeah, Bro, I'm just

231
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: on the and I'm not going to I'm not gonna say.

232
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why I feel like that, bro, because.

233
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: It is like that.

234
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at his gram and as talented as he is,

235
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking myself, he's.

236
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: Gonna have to stop dancing.

237
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Why Because it's like you said, Chris has done enough

238
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: for everybody.

239
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: That's it.

240
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: I think it's the style. It's also the style of dancing.

241
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: Chris has found a way to be a cool dancer.

242
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: Chris is also mean dancing. That's what I'm saying. It's cool.

243
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: So he's his dancing dancing maybe feathered.

244
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: Chris is not dancing soft.

245
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: So if you're a light kid, keep doing what you're

246
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: doing all that.

247
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: Start dancing tuugher, keep doing what you're doing.

248
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: Man.

249
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: I just think it is.

250
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: But you know it's when you say that I saw

251
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: the separation. We talked about this before, when when Chris

252
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: Brown was going before A Marion and I say, this

253
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: is a screen tour in an arena and I watch,

254
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: of course A Marion was always in the beginning, the

255
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: savvier dancer, the more had, the more cooler shit, right.

256
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: But then Chris Brown came out with his dancers and

257
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: all black fatigues and they started and I was like,

258
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: oh Mike, and the girls was like it was grown

259
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: women like oh my god, what who is this? And

260
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: it was so aggressive and it had so much purpose

261
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: to it to where it didn't take long for him

262
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: to take over anybody who was trying anybody. I don't

263
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: know any guys they can They can dance right now

264
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: to where it makes sense outside of I'll give one

265
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: guy who's.

266
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: Friday already made this statement, bro stopped dancing.

267
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: It's one guy who's to be yourself.

268
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, like, it's just like, Bro, it's

269
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: not what it was.

270
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: It's one guy who can still dance. Well, I give

271
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: credit to Neil, but Neo is it for that audience?

272
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: Got you?

273
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying in terms of people that I

274
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: see dancing, and I love the style, the Fred Astaire,

275
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: the I mean, Usher's Usher, he came in our time.

276
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: All them legends.

277
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: I'm just talking about you, Nigga, come out and dance

278
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: the same way, even good, the same way.

279
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: I feel like people and be like, bro, you we

280
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: already got.

281
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate because what's wrong with being talented?

282
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: Exact way?

283
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: You have to do your homework and you figure out

284
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: how you make the dancing cool for you.

285
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: Fact, that's the whole thing.

286
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: You just gotta find your lane.

287
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: So let's go back to ten years old.

288
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: You're doing a big choir because everybody, everybody's goal in

289
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the church.

290
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: When you're young, you want to be in the big choir.

291
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: Huh, what's the difference, Well, we had what was the

292
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: mask choir. So the mask choir was was the young adults. Oh,

293
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: it was everybody, and that was the big Sunday when

294
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: the mask choir sang, oh, you wanted to be in

295
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: on that, you know what I mean. And so as

296
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: a kid like you would just look at the mask

297
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: choir like, I can't wait to sing it.

298
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: So it was the Kid's Quire a week.

299
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah it's a little kid.

300
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: Give it up for the kid, give it up for

301
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: the kids singing.

302
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: In we just had.

303
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: We just had.

304
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: It was like an adult, like eighteen and like thirty.

305
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 4: So that's why I was like, that's where I was

306
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: leading at. Yeah, like ten to twelve, that's.

307
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Crazy, I was. I was, I think, what what is?

308
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: What is eighth grade?

309
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: But I will say it depends on what state you

310
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: in eighth grade, like twelve, you could be sixteen and

311
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: eighth grade, now, kidd, twelve I was.

312
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: That's when I started with the with the older cho

313
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I was ministered. I was kind of almost minister music

314
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: by then. I was playing everything and teaching songs and

315
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: the whole little thing like it. It became a thing.

379
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 4: Going middle school, hanging around my niggas and going through

381
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

382
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 5: I started listening to Kanye a lot, and then it

383
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 5: was like it was that John he had with Jamie Fox,

384
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,320

386
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 5: John Legend.

387
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 4: So Kanye introduced you to Jami, yeah, cause it was

Speaker 1: Yeah.

390
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 5: Because then then I just start shifting to like R

391
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: and B. It was like I heard Jamie Fox with Kanye.

392

00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 5: started listening to R and B and hip hop, probably

405
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:05,639

406
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,399

Speaker 2: I started writing. I started.

408
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 5: I went in the studio when I was in seventh

409
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 5: eighth grade, so probably like two years. And then I

410
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: went in the studio. My cousin Mircao had a studio

411
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 5: and then he invited me, and then, you know, I

412
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 5: played every instrument. So it was like I produced my

413
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 5: whole track that day, Like I made everything.

414
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,399

00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: You just loop a few chords. I looped chords, added

418
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: the bass. You know what I'm saying.

419
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,960

422
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 5: So I'm like damn. And then I added my vocals.

423
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 5: It wasn't the best track, but I was like damn,

424
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 5: I could do this.

425
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: Jo.

426
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 5: I just made the whole track myself, and then he

427
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 5: gave me a laptop and I went home and just

428
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 5: start making music day.

429
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 4: Probably from eighth grade. That's dope, that's crazy, that's dope.

430
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure, And that just became your passion every day,

431
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: Like even like before school, my mom had to tell me, like,

432
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: get off your laptop, is school out?

433
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: Be up all night just like would you?

434
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? I used to. At that time. I just had

435
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: the headphones.

436
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 5: You could just plug it in and get like you

437
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, not the best quality. I'll record

438
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: at home and go to my cousin studio record on

439
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 5: the weekends. So I would probably do like eight songs

440
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 5: during that week and then go to his studio really recorded.

441
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: It's crazy because the thing that the different from his

442
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: time in our time was that at the actual studio process,

443
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: like we had to go to a studio, Yeah, we

444
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: have to. We have to find a studio or have

445
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: a friend with a studio with something some D eighty eight,

446
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: some eight ads, you know what I'm saying, the task

447
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: cam something. But like now it's like they have this

448
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: computer man, and they are figuring it all out at

449
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: a very young age, from top to bottom, tracked to

450
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: vocal to everything. Like that's crazy, and it's allowing you

451
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: to develop in a way that we didn't get the

452
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to like we are, development was more outside than inside,

453
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you guys are understanding

454
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: the intricacies of how to make a record sound to

455
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: everybody in the world, the sonics of the entire world,

456
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: like y'all are, y'all are running big knob and ques

457
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: and all sorts of I don't know none of that stuff.

458
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Was y'all dialing up reverbs and delayed on but doing

459
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: none of that stuff. And know what that stuff was?

460
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: And one takes I was doing one take, I was singing,

461
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: maybe I deserved from talk about its different.

462
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: One take is different.

463
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: I was just like in my thinking, I was like,

464
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: whatever I have in real life for this song, I

465
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: want to be able to do a lot yea. And

466
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: that's that's how I record learn it from Gladys Knight.

467
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time somebody else was recording me,

468
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: I still didn't have the understanding of how to get

469
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: everything out of my head on to a record.

470
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: Do you find that difficult at times? From going from

471
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: the studio to now being a live performer though since

Speaker 3: Bro.

573
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not talking how I talk because

574
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 5: I was trying to sound like an R and B nigga,

575
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 5: like you know what I'm saying.

576
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: Ye, baby, Yeah, I'll play you the stuff I was

00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: To like I can like, you know what I'm saying.

579
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: So that fucked me up.

580
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 5: Where it was like from there, bro, twenty I'd say,

581
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 5: like twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. That's when I was like,

582
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 5: all right, I got talked how I talk to females,

583
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 5: to anybody like how talking life? That's how I put

584
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 5: on the record on the project. You know what I'm saying.

585
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 5: And then I gotta use my voice.

586
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

587
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 5: I gotta use it. You know what I'm saying. So

588
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 5: I could separate myself even more. You got this different voice,

589
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 5: take it on another level where it's like, all right,

590
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, put the emotion in there.

591
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 5: Some songs I just I'll be sounding like I'm crying.

592
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: I do that on purpose. Bro, Certain songs bring that

593
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 3: out of me.

594
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 5: But I just I'll just go a little left sometimes

595
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 5: just to be like, all right, what the fuck?

596
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

597
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,919

598
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,200

00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: dial into the project, Like even the things that you're

604
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,960

605
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,480

Speaker 1: the lyric to the production what you're doing all like

607

00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, I believe in what I believe in.

1049
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell my story and it's the R and

1050
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,960

Speaker 5: like a perfect introduction everything, you know what I mean.

1052
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 4: But like I said, I feel like your path and

1053
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 4: the way you've been able to weave your upbringing into

1054
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: your music, it's refreshing. Bro.

1055
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not I don't come from the church, you

1056
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

1057
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 4: Like, that's right, but it's just the fact that you've

1058
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 4: been able to make that relevant in this space exactly.

1059
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you can't. There is thisn't we are?

1060
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: We are all Listen, my guy put out a record

1061
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: church Niggas like we are that whether you like it

1062
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: or not, you are not going to be able to

1063
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: get away from the emotional and spiritual thing that connects

1064
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: you to the higher source. No matter what you're singing about,

1065
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: You're You're just it's what separates you that you're able

1066
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: to be street, spiritual and emotional. You know what I'm saying,

1067
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: Like all of those things put together. When I listen

1068
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: to your project, it's all of that. No matter what

1069
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: you're saying about, I feel it differently, Yep, because of

1070
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,479
Speaker 1: where you're from. Absolutely, because of your foundation and Jay

1071
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: says this all the time. You know, what I'm saying,

1072
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: and we share this, there's there's a there's a lack

1073
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: of that, which is why our music kind of suffers.

1074
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: There's a lack of spirituality. There's a lack of connection

1075
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to our music because we're we're ultimately

1076
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: sitting here to change lives. And if we can't connect,

1077
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: the message doesn't connect. What are we doing? What's the point?

1078
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 3: And that's the origins is I mean?

1079
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: Because like you know, obviously me not growing up in church,

1080
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 4: I had enough of the music from the R and

1081
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 4: B artists who did you know what I mean? So

1082
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 4: you know, like I grew up on Charlie Wilson, on

1083
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 4: Stevie Wonder, you know what I mean. Like you know,

1084
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 4: I go down the line, these these guys Aretha Franklin

1085
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 4: with Houston, like this is all church. They're just singing

1086
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 4: R and B songs. I'm not knowing I'm receiving it

1087
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 4: that way, you know, but I'm still I'm still getting

1088
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 4: it now in our music. It's a little tougher because

1089
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 4: from an R and B standpoint, because it's not, in

1090
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 4: my opinion, you know, enough church guys still in R

1091
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 4: and by you know what I mean, still giving that

1092
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 4: vibe to R and B music, and that's why we're

1093
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 4: you know, obviously it's picking back up, but that shift

1094
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 4: has to happen, and I feel like you're in the

1095
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 4: forefront of that, like you having a song with Maverick City,

1100
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:05,520
