0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 4>My pot was like the musician. He was a pastor too,

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 4>so it was like he had the piano around. He

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 4>played the guitar a little bit, you know, like one

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 4>of them pastors that could do anything around the church

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 4>type of shit.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 5>So I just picked it up easy. All my brothers

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 5>we had the piano in the house. You said I

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 5>got three brothers, Now I got like three close cousins,

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 5>my uh my mother brother, you know what I'm saying.

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 5>So it was just natural. I'm the youngest too, so

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 5>they all playing instruments. I'm like three years old. I'm

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 5>just watching them. So I'm just get on on the

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 5>keys at like five, start singing in church like probably

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.119
<v Speaker 5>like eight, you know what I'm saying. So I'm taking

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 5>everything they doing and just really becoming like the you

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying, the young genius for sure.

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 3>So like by the time I.

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 4>Was like ten, I was leading like like the big choir,

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 4>Like I was leading like the growing choir, giving them

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 4>three paramonies, you know what I'm saying, playing every instrument

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 4>in the church.

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 5>So that's where it came from. Sure, what did you playing?

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 5>I played piano, bass, guitar, and drums, and.

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 4>You just learned all of it just being in the church.

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 4>Nobody figure out you just at the church. You just

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 4>it's just like you just listen to something and you

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 4>just try to follow it. It's osos Yeah for sure.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. You just absorb it. Yeah,

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 4>it's natural. It's not even something. It's like how it's

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 4>just like it's just it just happened naturally. Yeah, like

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 4>you love it. You listen to the songs in church

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 4>and then you just follow it and then like years

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 4>go by, just getting better and better by here. So

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 4>you're singing too, Yeah, hell, ye wasn't because you're from Philly.

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I'm asking that, Like, so where is there?

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Was there ever? Like A, I don't know if I

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 4>want to sing, I might want to rap. Yeah, it

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 4>was like so I used to listen like the Boys

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 4>and Men a lot. That was like the first outside

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 4>of church, the first people.

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, yeah, I feel where they coming from the

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 5>emotion and all that. So and then like growing up

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 5>in Philly, I'm just I'm still trying to find my identity.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying, coming from the church and

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 5>then outside of the church is going through my life,

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying, living how I live, and

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 5>then the R and B. I'm trying to put it

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 5>all in one, you know, what I'm saying, especially with

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 5>like the type of voice I got, I would to

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 5>consider me like the best singer.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 4>But I had to like find my sound. So he

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 4>was like, all right, he his own person where it's

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 4>like so early on you was on that like I

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 4>gotta find.

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 5>I got on my way, Sam, and it took a

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 5>long time, Like at first, I was trying to follow

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.440

<v Speaker 4>It started seeing things shift where it's like, you gotta

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 4>create your own type of sound. You can't even just

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 4>be a regular or be singer anymore. You gotta create

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 4>your own lane. You gotta be.

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they gotta be different, like different, you know what.

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying, Like you know what I'm saying, Brand should Taylor,

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 5>all these people that came out since then that created

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 5>their own lay.

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 4>It just had to be different. So that's how I

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 4>was like, I gotta create my own lane. But it's

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 4>good to it's good to hear that from from you, yea,

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 4>because as artists are now finding their way and trying

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 4>to figure out which, you know, where is their place? Yeah,

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 4>and and how how can I accomplish what I'm trying

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 4>to accomplish, Because I with you, there's a there was

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 4>a time and there still is a time where I'll

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 4>hear newer artists that sound like Tank are sound like

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 4>a Brian McKnight. And I don't know how that works

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 4>in this space.

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Right now you're talking about they could do. It hasn't shifted.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Females get off of because the difference is is that

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 4>the males and I say this all the time. I

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 4>had to figure out how to compete with emotional rap.

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 3>That that's what it is, bro, you know what I mean.

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 4>So you're getting melody and you're getting emotions from rap,

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 4>and it looks like a rapper and it looks like

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 4>the hood.

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 3>Niggas, that's what the girls.

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Unless you know, unless you fully going home your craft

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 4>in a whole other way and just be completely different

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 4>and you're willing to.

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.839
<v Speaker 3>Deal with the wins and losses with that, you know

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 3>what I mean.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 4>But hearing that, hearing you say that, bro, like that's

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.719
<v Speaker 4>it makes perfect sense. And it makes perfect sense why

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 4>you're here today. Fact because you did your homework and

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 4>most people don't do their homework. Like, Okay, it's a shift,

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 4>it's a ship. What do I fit in that? Like

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 4>every nigga keep talking about that. We're about to do

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.719
<v Speaker 4>Joe to see again. Yeah, no, you're not for one.

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 4>It's no Davanta and you know, and going back to it,

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 4>you're not Tank, You're not Brian McKnight like.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Them, niggas are just different. They're aliens and what I'm saying,

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 3>and it's a different time.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 4>Like.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Breezy Care, I'm like, Bro, you ready to last you bro,

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 5>Like I was telling you, Like, Bro, I don't even

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 5>think we want to see a light skin nigga come

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 5>out and dance.

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 4>I told you, bro, Like, think about it. If a

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 4>light skin nigga come out right now and then they.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Are not having it.

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>You did too much, bro. Like Yeah, Bro, I'm just

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 2>on the and I'm not going to I'm not gonna say.

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why I feel like that, bro, because.

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 3>It is like that.

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at his gram and as talented as he is,

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking myself, he's.

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Gonna have to stop dancing.

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Why Because it's like you said, Chris has done enough

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>for everybody.

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I think it's the style. It's also the style of dancing.

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 4>Chris has found a way to be a cool dancer.

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Chris is also mean dancing. That's what I'm saying. It's cool.

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 4>So he's his dancing dancing maybe feathered.

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Chris is not dancing soft.

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 4>So if you're a light kid, keep doing what you're

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 4>doing all that.

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Start dancing tuugher, keep doing what you're doing.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I just think it is.

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>But you know it's when you say that I saw

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the separation. We talked about this before, when when Chris

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Brown was going before A Marion and I say, this

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>is a screen tour in an arena and I watch,

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>of course A Marion was always in the beginning, the

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>savvier dancer, the more had, the more cooler shit, right.

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But then Chris Brown came out with his dancers and

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>all black fatigues and they started and I was like,

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>oh Mike, and the girls was like it was grown

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>women like oh my god, what who is this? And

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.079
<v Speaker 1>it was so aggressive and it had so much purpose

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to it to where it didn't take long for him

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>to take over anybody who was trying anybody. I don't

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>know any guys they can They can dance right now

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to where it makes sense outside of I'll give one

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:54.839
<v Speaker 1>guy who's.

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Friday already made this statement, bro stopped dancing.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>It's one guy who's to be yourself.

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 3>But I'm just saying, like, it's just like, Bro, it's

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 3>not what it was.

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 2>It's one guy who can still dance. Well, I give

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 2>credit to Neil, but Neo is it for that audience?

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Got you?

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying in terms of people that I

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>see dancing, and I love the style, the Fred Astaire,

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the I mean, Usher's Usher, he came in our time.

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>All them legends.

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm just talking about you, Nigga, come out and dance

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 4>the same way, even good, the same way.

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like people and be like, bro, you we

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 3>already got.

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 1>And it's unfortunate because what's wrong with being talented?

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Exact way?

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 4>You have to do your homework and you figure out

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 4>how you make the dancing cool for you.

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Fact, that's the whole thing.

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>You just gotta find your lane.

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 2>So let's go back to ten years old.

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.680
<v Speaker 1>You're doing a big choir because everybody, everybody's goal in

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the church.

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>When you're young, you want to be in the big choir.

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Huh, what's the difference, Well, we had what was the

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 1>mask choir. So the mask choir was was the young adults. Oh,

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>it was everybody, and that was the big Sunday when

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the mask choir sang, oh, you wanted to be in

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>on that, you know what I mean. And so as

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a kid like you would just look at the mask

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>choir like, I can't wait to sing it.

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 3>So it was the Kid's Quire a week.

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it's a little kid.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Give it up for the kid, give it up for

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the kids singing.

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 3>In we just had.

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>We just had.

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 4>It was like an adult, like eighteen and like thirty.

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I was like, that's where I was

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 4>leading at. Yeah, like ten to twelve, that's.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Crazy, I was. I was, I think, what what is?

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>What is eighth grade?

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 4>But I will say it depends on what state you

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 4>in eighth grade, like twelve, you could be sixteen and

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 4>eighth grade, now, kidd, twelve I was.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>That's when I started with the with the older cho

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I was ministered. I was kind of almost minister music

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>by then. I was playing everything and teaching songs and

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole little thing like it. It became a thing.

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>But tennis early, so you're playing drunk.

<v Speaker 4>So now I'm getting second, you know what I'm saying,

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Going middle school, hanging around my niggas and going through

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 4>my own life, that's when I start, you know what

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying.

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 5>I started listening to Kanye a lot, and then it

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 5>was like it was that John he had with Jamie Fox,

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 5>the Nigger Record. Yeah, and then it was Jamie Fox

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 5>for like a whole year. It was like Jamie Fox,

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:24.399
<v Speaker 5>John Legend.

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.679
<v Speaker 4>So Kanye introduced you to Jami, yeah, cause it was

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 4>like and ultimately John Legends.

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 5>Because then then I just start shifting to like R

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.360
<v Speaker 5>and B. It was like I heard Jamie Fox with Kanye.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 5>I was like, who this nigga? You look him up?

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:39.679
<v Speaker 5>You're playing on the keys.

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Nigga said, who this nigga?

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:41.520

<v Speaker 3>He was Jammie this nigga Like Bro. I used to

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 3>be on.

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 5>I used to be on YouTube like all day, like

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 5>like my grandma house, went had a low cable at

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.680

<v Speaker 5>Gjohn Legend, Bro to night all day. Bro a nigga

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.239
<v Speaker 5>that played the piano or something. That's why I used

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 5>to be on And that's when it like shifted. I

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 5>started listening to R and B and hip hop, probably

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 5>middle school.

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:09.399
<v Speaker 3>Are you writing songs yet? Uh?

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I started writing. I started.

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.119
<v Speaker 5>I went in the studio when I was in seventh

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.159
<v Speaker 5>eighth grade, so probably like two years. And then I

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 5>went in the studio. My cousin Mircao had a studio

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 5>and then he invited me, and then, you know, I

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 5>played every instrument. So it was like I produced my

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 5>whole track that day, Like I made everything.

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.399
<v Speaker 4>You like thirteen, Yeah, I'm like thirteen. He like this,

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 4>How go you loop your joint? I'm like, Dan Young,

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 4>I play all the way through.

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 3>You just loop a few chords. I looped chords, added

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 3>the bass. You know what I'm saying.

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Go to the studio on some motown. Yeah yeah, just

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 4>passive record. Let play this all the way.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 3>He's controlling everything, but I'm add you know what I'm saying.

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 5>So I'm like damn. And then I added my vocals.

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't the best track, but I was like damn,

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:54.960
<v Speaker 5>I could do this.

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Jo.

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 5>I just made the whole track myself, and then he

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:01.159
<v Speaker 5>gave me a laptop and I went home and just

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 5>start making music day.

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 4>Probably from eighth grade. That's dope, that's crazy, that's dope.

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah for sure, And that just became your passion every day,

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Like even like before school, my mom had to tell me, like,

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 4>get off your laptop, is school out?

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Be up all night just like would you?

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I used to. At that time. I just had

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:21.920
<v Speaker 3>the headphones.

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 5>You could just plug it in and get like you

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying, not the best quality. I'll record

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 5>at home and go to my cousin studio record on

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 5>the weekends. So I would probably do like eight songs

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 5>during that week and then go to his studio really recorded.

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy because the thing that the different from his

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 1>time in our time was that at the actual studio process,

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.719
<v Speaker 1>like we had to go to a studio, Yeah, we

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 1>have to. We have to find a studio or have

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a friend with a studio with something some D eighty eight,

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>some eight ads, you know what I'm saying, the task

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 1>cam something. But like now it's like they have this

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>computer man, and they are figuring it all out at

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>a very young age, from top to bottom, tracked to

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:13.439
<v Speaker 1>vocal to everything. Like that's crazy, and it's allowing you

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to develop in a way that we didn't get the

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to like we are, development was more outside than inside,

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So you guys are understanding

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>the intricacies of how to make a record sound to

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>everybody in the world, the sonics of the entire world,

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>like y'all are, y'all are running big knob and ques

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and all sorts of I don't know none of that stuff.

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Was y'all dialing up reverbs and delayed on but doing

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 1>none of that stuff. And know what that stuff was?

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 1>And one takes I was doing one take, I was singing,

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe I deserved from talk about its different.

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 2>One take is different.

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I was just like in my thinking, I was like,

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 1>whatever I have in real life for this song, I

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>want to be able to do a lot yea. And

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that's that's how I record learn it from Gladys Knight.

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time somebody else was recording me,

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.119
<v Speaker 1>I still didn't have the understanding of how to get

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>everything out of my head on to a record.

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you find that difficult at times? From going from

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 4>the studio to now being a live performer though since

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 4>it is a different type of you know, you're punching

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 4>every either sometimes every other word or every you know

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 4>what I'm saying, like, this is just a new form

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 4>of recording. How is that for you transitioning to you know,

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 4>going into live performance?

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 5>Though, I was, I'm familiar with it, okay, but that

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 5>was when I was a kid. So it was like

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.639
<v Speaker 5>once a God did came out, That's when I was like,

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 5>oh shit, it's time bro. Then it took me like

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 5>a few rehearsals, bro, and I was like, yeah, clicked,

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 5>like probably like third rehearsal with my with my band,

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:06.880
<v Speaker 5>my man Josh, and I'm good.

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.400
<v Speaker 4>Now Now that's a that's a perfect segue though, Yeah,

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 4>got it right.

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 3>So you're early on you're writing these songs. How were

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 3>the songs? Let's start there though, I would do.

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 4>You remember earlier thirteen year old cloud?

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Your thirteen year old song? Yeah?

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.440
<v Speaker 4>I played a john. I played the joint like last month.

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.399
<v Speaker 4>My first song I ever made. I was on some

<v Speaker 3>Got to hear it.

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 5>It's not crazy, but it was like, oh, yeah for

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:40.199

<v Speaker 5>I was telling you when that ship shifted. It was

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 5>one point I was trying to sound like people. You know,

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 5>when you're making music, you just hear you listen to

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 5>a party next door, so you're like you just want

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 5>to make something.

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:03.560

<v Speaker 5>what you think. She like, don't sound like you. You're

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 5>not talking how you talk to me, you know what

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Bro.

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I'm not talking how I talk because

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 5>I was trying to sound like an R and B nigga,

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 5>like you know what I'm saying.

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Ye, baby, Yeah, I'll play you the stuff I was

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 3>on some boys the men.

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 4>To like I can like, you know what I'm saying.

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 2>So that fucked me up.

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.360
<v Speaker 5>Where it was like from there, bro, twenty I'd say,

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 5>like twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. That's when I was like,

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 5>all right, I got talked how I talk to females,

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 5>to anybody like how talking life? That's how I put

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:58.000
<v Speaker 5>on the record on the project. You know what I'm saying.

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 5>And then I gotta use my voice.

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 5>I gotta use it. You know what I'm saying. So

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 5>I could separate myself even more. You got this different voice,

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 5>take it on another level where it's like, all right,

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying, put the emotion in there.

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Some songs I just I'll be sounding like I'm crying.

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I do that on purpose. Bro, Certain songs bring that

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:20.439
<v Speaker 3>out of me.

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:24.159
<v Speaker 5>But I just I'll just go a little left sometimes

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 5>just to be like, all right, what the fuck?

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, but you have like a very unique and

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 2>undeniable vocal.

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, No, as soon as you as soon as you

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 4>come on the track, is exactly who it is.

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 2>It is you, and it's like.

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:44.160

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>dial into the project, Like even the things that you're

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 1>singing about that you're using your voice for, Yeah, it's

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:54.480

<v Speaker 4>But like I said, I feel like your path and

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:06.600
<v Speaker 4>the way you've been able to weave your upbringing into

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:08.560
<v Speaker 4>your music, it's refreshing. Bro.

0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:11.040
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not I don't come from the church, you

0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean.

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:17.560
<v Speaker 4>Like, that's right, but it's just the fact that you've

0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:21.960
<v Speaker 4>been able to make that relevant in this space exactly.

0:50:22.040 --> 0:50:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you can't. There is thisn't we are?

0:50:24.880 --> 0:50:28.319
<v Speaker 1>We are all Listen, my guy put out a record

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:31.800
<v Speaker 1>church Niggas like we are that whether you like it

0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:34.400
<v Speaker 1>or not, you are not going to be able to

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get away from the emotional and spiritual thing that connects

0:50:40.600 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you to the higher source. No matter what you're singing about,

0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:49.480
<v Speaker 1>You're You're just it's what separates you that you're able

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to be street, spiritual and emotional. You know what I'm saying,

0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Like all of those things put together. When I listen

0:50:57.160 --> 0:50:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to your project, it's all of that. No matter what

0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you're saying about, I feel it differently, Yep, because of

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:08.479
<v Speaker 1>where you're from. Absolutely, because of your foundation and Jay

0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:10.200
<v Speaker 1>says this all the time. You know, what I'm saying,

0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and we share this, there's there's a there's a lack

0:51:14.320 --> 0:51:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of that, which is why our music kind of suffers.

0:51:18.920 --> 0:51:21.880
<v Speaker 1>There's a lack of spirituality. There's a lack of connection

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:27.440
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to our music because we're we're ultimately

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:31.240
<v Speaker 1>sitting here to change lives. And if we can't connect,

0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the message doesn't connect. What are we doing? What's the point?

0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:39.400
<v Speaker 3>And that's the origins is I mean?

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Because like you know, obviously me not growing up in church,

0:51:44.160 --> 0:51:49.279
<v Speaker 4>I had enough of the music from the R and

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:52.000
<v Speaker 4>B artists who did you know what I mean? So

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:55.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, like I grew up on Charlie Wilson, on

0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Stevie Wonder, you know what I mean. Like you know,

0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:01.560
<v Speaker 4>I go down the line, these these guys Aretha Franklin

0:52:02.160 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 4>with Houston, like this is all church. They're just singing

0:52:05.719 --> 0:52:08.160
<v Speaker 4>R and B songs. I'm not knowing I'm receiving it

0:52:08.200 --> 0:52:11.440
<v Speaker 4>that way, you know, but I'm still I'm still getting

0:52:11.520 --> 0:52:15.640
<v Speaker 4>it now in our music. It's a little tougher because

0:52:16.239 --> 0:52:21.040
<v Speaker 4>from an R and B standpoint, because it's not, in

0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:26.080
<v Speaker 4>my opinion, you know, enough church guys still in R

0:52:26.120 --> 0:52:30.759
<v Speaker 4>and by you know what I mean, still giving that

0:52:31.000 --> 0:52:35.120
<v Speaker 4>vibe to R and B music, and that's why we're

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:39.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, obviously it's picking back up, but that shift

0:52:39.640 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 4>has to happen, and I feel like you're in the

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:46.000
<v Speaker 4>forefront of that, like you having a song with Maverick City,

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:49.879
<v Speaker 4>which I love that songs, you know what I mean,

0:52:49.920 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 4>Like you having that record and you taking that chance

0:52:53.719 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 4>coming off of two rap records.

0:52:56.560 --> 0:53:00.399
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying, Like you have to make

0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:05.520
<v Speaker 3>that conscious decision. I'm like, Okay, what can I.

0:53:04.480 --> 0:53:06.239
<v Speaker 4>You can say as many times you won't like, yeah,

0:53:06.320 --> 0:53:07.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm not doing that, but you are.

0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:09.120
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean.

0:53:09.200 --> 0:53:11.520
<v Speaker 4>I know what I'm doing. Yeah, I'm doing it in

0:53:13.160 --> 0:53:17.320
<v Speaker 4>a great way where I put it like everybody believe

0:53:17.320 --> 0:53:20.200
<v Speaker 4>in something, bro. Yeah it is no matter who you're bro.

0:53:21.800 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I play Blessing. I was buying some jewelry.

0:53:24.600 --> 0:53:28.240
<v Speaker 5>It's like a lot of you know, a rad Jewish

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:31.360
<v Speaker 5>people like they hear I got a song called Blessing.

<v Speaker 5>It's like love this song, bro, blessings, Brother Blessings.

0:53:35.480 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 3>So it's like translate.

0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:40.719
<v Speaker 5>Everybody, bro believe in something. And I put it in

0:53:40.760 --> 0:53:45.439
<v Speaker 5>a way where it's like anybody could listen. It don't

0:53:45.440 --> 0:53:48.040
<v Speaker 5>feel like no church it just feels like a nigga

0:53:48.040 --> 0:53:50.640
<v Speaker 5>that believe in something that's putting it on the record

0:53:50.800 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 5>that everybody could relate to.

0:53:52.480 --> 0:53:55.319
<v Speaker 4>Even the Maverick City records. We done came way too far.

0:53:56.000 --> 0:53:57.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm not talking though. You know what I'm saying.

0:53:58.200 --> 0:54:00.600
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying it, But I put it

0:54:00.600 --> 0:54:02.440
<v Speaker 5>in a way where it's like inspirational.

0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:03.279
<v Speaker 3>That's what I like.

0:54:03.880 --> 0:54:06.880

0:57:56.240 --> 0:57:59.960
<v Speaker 5>the trailer, Cali brought his people out. It's on my

0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:03.200
<v Speaker 5>TikTok the video, and then he put the instrumental in

0:58:03.280 --> 0:58:06.400
<v Speaker 5>my ear before we're about to the stage, and I

0:58:06.480 --> 0:58:08.840
<v Speaker 5>just started singing it. He didn't even expect me to

0:58:08.880 --> 0:58:10.880
<v Speaker 5>sing it. I just started singing in front of the people.

0:58:11.720 --> 0:58:14.120
<v Speaker 4>It was like, all right, bro, ready And then from

0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:16.919
<v Speaker 4>there I just got that confidence hopped on stage.

0:58:16.920 --> 0:58:17.600
<v Speaker 3>I've seen jay Z.

0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:22.000
<v Speaker 5>That's up, bro, I might get ready. It was it

0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:23.560

<v Speaker 4>first time when that's my first real joint.

0:58:33.160 --> 0:58:35.120
<v Speaker 3>So it's like, because that's the thing that people don't know.

0:58:35.240 --> 0:58:36.280
<v Speaker 3>The transition from.

0:58:38.760 --> 0:58:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Its just a way different thing because now you're singing

0:58:41.240 --> 0:58:41.720
<v Speaker 4>in your head.

0:58:41.880 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, facts, and that was different. But I'm you know,

0:58:44.760 --> 0:58:47.080
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of like the studio. Yeah, but it was

0:58:47.120 --> 0:58:48.560
<v Speaker 5>just like a whole different experience.
