Speaker 2: What was your toughest night as far as and I'm
Speaker 2: talking about like just the things that people don't know about,
Speaker 2: like the getting to the venue, getting on stage, almost
Speaker 2: not making it on stage. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: that's what I mean by toughest, not because we didn't
Speaker 2: have no tough nights. So like we didn't get booed. No,
Speaker 2: people came there, They enjoy us and enjoy the whole show.
Speaker 2: So we never had no tough nights in that sense,
Speaker 2: or even just even vocally.
Speaker 1: Toughest night was being sick. Those three shows. What it
Speaker 1: is New York, It was New York, and what was
Speaker 1: after New York? It was those three city the New York.
Speaker 2: Week now Atlantic City. Yeah, I think New York, New York,
Speaker 2: New Jersey then Atlantic City. I think, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: know you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because I had to I had to take
Speaker 1: my medicine and and my migraines kicked in, and I
Speaker 1: didn't eat for those for those those whole three days.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, because they got the most amazing vegan burger
Speaker 2: ever had in my life.
Speaker 1: You told me about that in Jersey. Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't eat for the No, it wasn't Jersey, it
Speaker 1: was it was Newark. That was Newark.
Speaker 2: Newark is where I had.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where had work. But for those three three
Speaker 1: for they I didn't even eat. I couldn't eat. That
Speaker 1: was I was messed up so with migraines, everything was
Speaker 1: tricked off. I was going to venue through the show
Speaker 1: that Those were tough shows because I had to, you know,
Speaker 1: use whatever energy I had and put into those shows.
Speaker 1: And that was it. After that, I was finished.
Speaker 2: Toughish for me was Texas HM by Texas. Remember I
Speaker 2: could sleep. So I'm gonna tell you guys and give
Speaker 2: you this insight. I'm hanging out with the Tank, and
Speaker 2: Tank has rituals that he does that they just don't
Speaker 2: work for me. Oh so, my dumb ass, I try
Speaker 2: to have my little red bull shot. Try a little
Speaker 2: red bull shot. The Valentine can't drink red bull I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I just not not that if I'm trying to go
Speaker 2: to sleep. It just it really gave me wings. I drank.
Speaker 2: I drank. I drank Red Bulls for like two straight shows,
Speaker 2: and then by the next I actually no one show. No,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, one show. I got it the first night,
Speaker 2: and by the time I got to Houston, my eyes
Speaker 2: were bloodshot, red, were as red as this suit. And
Speaker 2: people thought I was sick. Yeah I wasn't sick at all. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just hadn't slept. Because I was literally drunk that
Speaker 2: little bit of red Boy and was in my room
Speaker 2: like this, still up tweaking, and then it was time
Speaker 2: to go, so and it literally I was I had
Speaker 2: red eyes the entire Texas. So that was the hardest
Speaker 2: for me because it was just like I'm trying to
Speaker 2: figure out what the hell is going on with me?
Speaker 2: And then I realized it's me taking this little couple
Speaker 2: of SIPs of red Bull.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you to do that.
Speaker 2: He didn't tell me to do it, but he's in courage. Yeah, encourage,
Speaker 2: Hey man, let's tell me about to turn up. And
Speaker 2: then I just can't turn down.
Speaker 1: You have a sing on red Bull? What it gets
Speaker 1: up there?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Worst hotel?
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, what's the what's the city? It was that
Speaker 2: little like a little trap, a little trap hotel. We
Speaker 2: was in in a couple of trap. No, but this
Speaker 2: was the one where remember that it was kind of
Speaker 2: a day room ish because this venue also didn't have
Speaker 2: a dressing room. What city was that we were in
Speaker 2: the south? Is that Birmingham now? But no, Birmingham at
Speaker 2: a nice hotel. I gotta look at I gotta look at.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Virginia.
Speaker 2: It was in Virginia. Yeah, it was in v A.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We stayed in a hotel that the Clips used to
Speaker 2: sell drugs at. I promise you they sould work at
Speaker 2: this hotel. This hotel, I'm pretty sure I slept in
Speaker 2: my sweatsuit. It was on top of the cover.
Speaker 1: I get button naked. Another hotel. I can't, I can't
Speaker 1: help it. I gotta, I gotta for my balls on
Speaker 1: the sheets only where I can sleep.
Speaker 2: No, I was in the full eswecsly with the hoodie up.
Speaker 2: I didn't want none of it to get on my
Speaker 2: neck or nothing else.
Speaker 1: I don't want.
Speaker 2: And I know there's some probably some really nice hotels
Speaker 2: in that city, Bootes, and we weren't at one.
Speaker 1: We were at the trap pay by the hour. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about, uh stand in shape tough. I mean, did
Speaker 1: you work out on that tour.
Speaker 2: I did a little bit. I worked out a little bit,
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 1: I worked out on every off day, and then me
Speaker 1: and Shot had you know to push up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the push up things.
Speaker 2: I didn't work out as much as I should have
Speaker 2: because we would get to the v I mean, we
Speaker 2: would get to the city and didn't have to get
Speaker 2: to the venue quick, and you know me, I gotta
Speaker 2: shower up and I gotta do the whole There's this thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, we get to the city, he has to shower.
Speaker 1: We get to the venue, he has to shower. We
Speaker 1: leave the venue, he has to shower. Wake up. The
Speaker 1: next day, he's got a shower. I like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what going on with your water bill at the house.
Speaker 1: I'm sure your water bill is crazier than your mortgage.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a weird imbalance. Makes no sense. If
Speaker 1: we weren't a little press for time, he would have
Speaker 1: showered right before he put on this suit. It just
Speaker 1: came from home. Yeah, you know, you know, I stayed
Speaker 1: on that because you know, I have to have to.
Speaker 2: Show them, you know.
Speaker 1: But it's tough on the road though, tough for sure,
Speaker 1: bad food.
Speaker 2: The road. Yeah, it's tough finding finding quality quality food,
Speaker 2: finding quality food.
Speaker 1: We had a decent rider, Like, we had some veggies,
Speaker 1: we had the veggie burgers. Yeah, but but it was
Speaker 1: as far as like, you know, meals, Yeah, finding quality meals.
Speaker 1: It was tough too because we also be at the
Speaker 1: venue by like six and then by the time you know,
Speaker 1: we leave the venue, we didn't leave early.
Speaker 2: Everything was closed. Everything was closed. Yeah, so yeah, that
Speaker 2: that that can be tough on the road. And you know,
Speaker 2: I would suggest for the new artists as you continue
Speaker 2: to build up, just just really start being meticulous about
Speaker 2: your writer and the things that you like because you're
Speaker 2: going to have to eat that all the time every
Speaker 2: day for the most part. And yes, you have catering,
Speaker 2: but catering is trying to make sure everybody is straight.
Speaker 1: And we were opening. It was our cater They would
Speaker 1: get to us when they could. They did the best
Speaker 1: they could cater for sure. The sprinter a nice sprinter.
Speaker 1: Man bought a really nice sprinter. But it's still a sprinter.
Speaker 1: But so guess what happened. So guess what I found
Speaker 1: out with the manufacturing. They didn't put the insulation in
Speaker 1: between the the emergency windows.
Speaker 2: So that was that whistle wood.
Speaker 1: And yeah, the whistle whistle, the the the acceleration coming
Speaker 1: through the speakers. Relax.
Speaker 2: It's a great sprinter, was was, It's a great go
Speaker 2: to magic mind.
Speaker 1: It was a defective part in the whatever you want
Speaker 1: to take your kids to Disneyland, it's fixed. Don't ride
Speaker 1: five or six hours though it's fixed. The sprint is perfect.
Speaker 1: After the tour, It's perfect. I'll never do it again.
Speaker 1: It's perfect. It's perfect.
Speaker 2: So, speaking of Sprinter, I spent a lot of money
Speaker 2: on travel.
Speaker 1: Are you going back every week?
Speaker 2: I went back home every week, you know that. And
Speaker 2: then if city was anything more than three hours, he flew,
Speaker 2: I flew. I just it was. It was tough. It's tough.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of rattling.
Speaker 2: Especially after the Red Eyes. I was like, man, no,
Speaker 2: because that was the other things, like I couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2: But then I get on the on.
Speaker 1: The sprintert we were opening.
Speaker 2: I was just trying to come give y'all good show.
Speaker 1: When I popped out, Man, I need this rest well
Speaker 1: open the next Sorry. What else? Vocal health, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the first tour I made it through vocally
Speaker 1: one without having any like any sixty or fifty percent days.
Speaker 1: You know why because I didn't drink, which is weird
Speaker 1: because I'm allergic, which is I mean, I say it
Speaker 1: because I'm allergic to certain alcohols and I know that
Speaker 1: and I still.
Speaker 2: Still do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, stupid kid. And but this tour, you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about it before we went on tour. I
Speaker 1: was like, man, I wis want to let's just lay
Speaker 1: I want to lay off of that so that I can,
Speaker 1: you know, really get through the tour and be one
Speaker 1: hundred percent every night, right.
Speaker 2: And that's that's that's the other part about that, just
Speaker 2: to kind of dive deeper into it. You're not even
Speaker 2: a drinker like that. No, So this is what's like
Speaker 2: to the to the younger vocalists, just to the vocalist period, like,
Speaker 2: it don't have to be a lot, ye, it don't
Speaker 2: got to be a lot of alcohol, a lot of weed,
Speaker 2: or a lot of whatever you own. You're you're still
Speaker 2: tearing away at your voice.
Speaker 1: That little bit over time, over time, it just accumulates.
Speaker 2: But bro, listen, you was cooking, just cooking out there. Bro,
Speaker 2: you just cooking. You're singing your ass off. Try to
Speaker 2: keep my walk. Yeah it was hot.
Speaker 1: You sounded good too, brother, Thank you don't really have
Speaker 1: any bad nights.
Speaker 2: Vocaler, Me and my and my in my five minutes
Speaker 2: cook you cook, got my high five you cook?
Speaker 1: As about it. It was so many It was this one girl, say,
Speaker 1: listen to Jay Valentine's sounding like Jay Valentine.
Speaker 2: She just sound like you.
Speaker 1: Man, you should sound like the record. Sound like the record.
Speaker 1: You don't sound like the record, call you somebody. You
Speaker 1: may not like my vocals work on it, but there
Speaker 1: are my vocals. They're going to sound like me. You
Speaker 1: sound good. Thank you. Late nights, early flights, it's tough.
Speaker 2: That's that's another one. Get get rest, get rest, get rest.
Speaker 2: You gotta get your rest.
Speaker 1: I got to sleep. Yeah, I'm like, I need sleep.
Speaker 1: I value sleep over everything. I love sleep.
Speaker 2: And but that that's also when you do have a
Speaker 2: vehicle on the road, it helps because you just get
Speaker 2: in there and go to sleep instead of trying to
Speaker 2: run to that flight and be a fool like me.
Speaker 1: If I had the bus, we had the bush any
Speaker 1: way more arrested.
Speaker 2: We didn't need it. We didn't need it. We didn't
Speaker 2: need it.
Speaker 1: We ended up, I mean, we ended up doing well,
Speaker 1: save some money. But I don't think I'll ever do
Speaker 1: another tour without a bus.
Speaker 2: Out of bus. I just saw all you people who
Speaker 2: own bus buses and have bus companies. Just know that
Speaker 2: you should probably send him. I'll be calling because he's
Speaker 2: going to buy a bus. Now, what about your sprint?
Speaker 1: The sprinter is listen, I would drive my spring where
Speaker 1: you're going back, just going to get a juice.
Speaker 2: I know, Zena just be shaking her head at you sometimes,
Speaker 2: like you can take the sprinted to get juice.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, what else? Why you feel me at Charlotta? Therefore
Speaker 1: getting accosted by the lady.
Speaker 2: I can't remember. Someone online told me what the what
Speaker 2: the beautiful lady's name was? I can't remember. And also
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to do that
Speaker 2: on here anyway. I don't want to because she probably
Speaker 2: don't want her name said on R and B Money
Speaker 2: podcast she was mad? Why was she so mad?
Speaker 1: It was it was too early in the morning, first
Speaker 1: of all to be that upset about anything.
Speaker 2: So can you give them a little backstory? Because what happened?
Speaker 1: All right? So I got a coach seat. I had
Speaker 1: bought a coach seat because it was sheep, and I
Speaker 1: knew I would get upgraded. So I got upgraded. But
Speaker 1: I got upgraded to a bulkhead seat. And I want
Speaker 1: I don't like bulkhead seats because I need to I
Speaker 1: need to stretch my knees out. And I wanted to
Speaker 1: go back to my window that I had, my emergency window.
Speaker 1: I like to lean on the window get my lean off.
Speaker 1: And so when I was kidding. When I was getting
Speaker 1: on the plane, I said, I said, do you have
Speaker 1: the emergency window availablecause they called first class and I'm
Speaker 1: getting on. She's like, no, it's also not everything's gone.
Speaker 1: If everything's gone, I was like, okay.
Speaker 2: Well, I just you know, when I get on the plane,
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll just I'll switch with the person you
Speaker 2: know that has that seat.
Speaker 1: And now she said, no, you won't. I said, yes,
Speaker 1: yes I will. She said you will not. And she
Speaker 1: had took my ticket because she was looking to see
Speaker 1: if anything else was available, and she was like, no,
Speaker 1: you will not do that. You will not give your
Speaker 1: seat to another person. There are people waiting to be
Speaker 1: in first class and you cannot do this. I said,
Speaker 1: I why, because you cannot. I'm telling you you cannot.
Speaker 1: I said, but I'm just it's to see that already
Speaker 1: had that person did not pay for a first class seat.
Speaker 1: I said, well, I'm gonna just give them. It'll be
Speaker 1: a gift, like like a birthday you and I gift gifts. Nothing.
Speaker 1: You will not do anything. I was like this, I
Speaker 1: don't understand why you're yelling at me. I said, I
Speaker 1: just I said you know what, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: I'll just get on the plane. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: I said, Can I just get my ticket? No, because
Speaker 1: when you get on the plane, you are going to
Speaker 1: try to switch. You have to promise me that you
Speaker 1: are not going to switch, I said, I said, I
Speaker 1: just want to get.
Speaker 2: On the plane. You didn't promise that.
Speaker 1: No, And then some young lady came. She overheard that. Worship,
Speaker 1: what's going I said, I said, at this point, I
Speaker 1: just want to get on the plane. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know why she she grabbed
Speaker 1: the ticket from the lady said don't I got it,
Speaker 1: and she walked me to the place. She said, it's okay.
Speaker 1: I said, I don't. Why is she? What did I do?
Speaker 1: And you know, she did not want me to give
Speaker 1: my first class seat to this coach passenger that was
Speaker 1: in the seat I really like.
Speaker 2: And you would be able to do a good deed too,
Speaker 2: because people like first class, right, it costs money. She
Speaker 2: told you that people are waiting to get upgraded. You
Speaker 2: she would have been, you know what, what's the name
Speaker 2: of the next person that's about to get upgraded?
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't have got the window seat.
Speaker 2: You can't get them.
Speaker 1: See yes, I.
Speaker 2: Can not on her, not her, not on airlines. I
Speaker 2: wish you would. Yeah, yeah that was that wasn't gonna happen, brother.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she she worked me. How about you? Let's
Speaker 1: talk about you at at Oakland? How about you?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: How about you almost you know, I don't know. Want
Speaker 1: the security guys.
Speaker 2: Said what you want to say?
Speaker 1: Man? What secure guy? You know? Accuse your putting hands
Speaker 1: on them and threatening them. I mean, you know, you
Speaker 1: know in the bay, you know your area. He tried
Speaker 1: to put the police like you pried to put the
Speaker 1: police on You're like, man, well well we're R and
Speaker 1: we're R and B. Brother, it's sexy.
Speaker 2: It was. It was not my proudest moment.
Speaker 1: What type of attitude, the type of NB a young voy? Okay,
Speaker 1: can I explain? Can I explain?
Speaker 2: Waiting?
Speaker 1: We're waiting.
Speaker 2: So it was it was really a situation that didn't
Speaker 2: have to be a situation. Honestly, you know me, if
Speaker 2: I'm if I'm bullshit and I say I'm bullshit, I
Speaker 2: wasn't bullshiting this time, Okay this time, and all I
Speaker 2: was trying to do was give my folks their passes,
Speaker 2: which you know, that part was fine, but it was
Speaker 2: started to turn into people seeing that I was that
Speaker 2: I had walked out and you know the pictures and
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I gotta take aup picture,
Speaker 2: which is fine and that's cool, but there's starting people
Speaker 2: are starting to kind of come around it. So I'm
Speaker 2: trying to hurry up my folks, like listen, y'all, here go,
Speaker 2: y'all passes, y'all straight, so y'all can y'all can come back.
Speaker 2: And when I turned to walk back into the tunnel,
Speaker 2: he's like standing right in front of me, so like
Speaker 2: I turned into him. So as I turn, I turned
Speaker 2: really close to him, and he's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: I was like, and he put his hand out and
Speaker 2: it was really close to me, and I'm like, put
Speaker 2: your hand down, and he's like, what do you mean
Speaker 2: put my hand? I was like, put your hand out,
Speaker 2: calm down. He's like, you're trying to move people in
Speaker 2: and out. He just went into what he thought I
Speaker 2: was trying to do, which was really wasn't true and
Speaker 2: didn't give me a chance to let him know what
Speaker 2: was going on. Because now we're now it's kind of
Speaker 2: a back and forth, and I don't like his tone,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And because I don't care
Speaker 2: what any of us do. I respect people. I just
Speaker 2: want my same respect because we're all adults first, even
Speaker 2: if you're a kid, you know, disrespect kid, you don't

Speaker 1: I appreciate it. This was also the no comp tour
Speaker 1: for us. Oh yeah, yeah, so this was happening when
Speaker 1: you when you're opening, go ahead speak on that when
Speaker 1: you're opening. First of all, money was good, so we
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have any problem. My money went
Speaker 1: to tickets to excepting some of a lot of the stipulations,
Speaker 1: you know, because as I'm not a new artist, I'm
Speaker 1: not an opening artist. But it was like, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: New Edition money is good. It is what it is,
Speaker 1: no comp tour, which means the b PC they want
Speaker 1: all theirs, every dollar, every dollar on the first, every
Speaker 1: ticket on the first. And then you got to realize
Speaker 1: that New Edition is a group comprised of six Medix
Speaker 1: members who all have people they want to get in free.
Speaker 1: Then you have right going right before them, Keith Sweat,
Speaker 1: who is going to get his. Then you got guy
Speaker 1: who's going to get there. Three members in that group,

Speaker 1: those guys were like, you know, they let me.
Speaker 2: Ride on the bus. Yeah, yeah, I rode with the guys. Man.
Speaker 2: It's super cool, super cool guys.
Speaker 1: And I think the thing that a lot of artists
Speaker 1: have to realize about the production guys, when you're on
Speaker 1: the road, it's like, it's not you don't want to
Speaker 1: make it you against them, you versus them. They all
Speaker 1: took care of us, never took care of you, like
Speaker 1: they are your lifeline. They're the umbilical cord between you
Speaker 1: and the audience. So at that point, it's not your show.
Speaker 2: It's ours. But I think we understand that because that's
Speaker 2: how we operate, even here, even with you know, with
Speaker 2: Theben and Jacob, even here with and Jacob, they are
Speaker 2: an extension of us. I wish somebody would come in
Speaker 2: here and say some sideways the Ruben and.
Speaker 1: Jacobs wouldn't work out.
Speaker 2: Well, I get your ass, I keep my gun Harney podcast. No,
Speaker 2: but you know. But but it's just like we understand
Speaker 2: the team concept and we understand all the pieces. They
Speaker 2: may not be in front of this camera, but these
Speaker 2: cameras don't work without our guys. The production on this
Speaker 2: tour does not go without all of these guys, the
Speaker 2: stage hands and the engineers in the front of house
Speaker 2: shout out to toe, come on.
Speaker 1: And things go wrong, is what people do. Things go wrong,
Speaker 1: And you have to know the difference. You have to
Speaker 1: know the difference between dealing with incompetent people and technicalities.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: There's a difference. And we were dealing with some very
Speaker 1: competent people and sometimes when it comes to technicalities, things
Speaker 1: just they just happened. They just happen. And so in
Speaker 1: knowing that, I was like, nah, these guys were gonna
Speaker 1: know it.
Speaker 2: Like there were nights obviously, like I'm new to inears, right,
Speaker 2: so there were nights where my in ears were kind
Speaker 2: of going a little bit in and out here and there,

Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh what he was in and out? Man?

Speaker 2: for me personally. It was something for and I just
Speaker 2: want to say thanks Bro for inviting me to come
Speaker 2: out with you and to do the tour with you
Speaker 2: because it was it was it enabled me to get
Speaker 2: my feet wet and to kind of get back fully
Speaker 2: into it. And honestly, it was my first tour as
Speaker 2: an artist ever because when I was you know, I
Speaker 2: did my thing with my brothers years ago, we never toured.
Speaker 2: We did, you know, we did the schools and that
Speaker 2: type of stuff, but we never toured. And then, you know,
Speaker 2: when I was doing my artist stuff years back, I
Speaker 2: was doing spot days here and there. I do a
Speaker 2: couple of art do some clubs, but I never I've
Speaker 2: never done tour, you know what I mean. Actually, the
Speaker 2: first tour that I went on was a Fantasia tour
Speaker 2: that I'd ever been on. Period. It was a fantastic
Speaker 2: tour when we you know, when we were out with her.
Speaker 2: But the first one I was performing on was the
Speaker 2: New Addition Legacy Tour, which is a great way to
Speaker 2: great way you know, be introduced and you know, to
Speaker 2: to the rest of the country. And I was, I
Speaker 2: was honestly surprised, man, how many people knew who I was.
Speaker 2: I told you you did, he did, he did, But
Speaker 2: I was, I was pleasantly surprised. Man. And you know
Speaker 2: they found out the podcast NIKK sing.

Speaker 2: I gotta make one big shot of something that I
Speaker 2: had to see up close.
Speaker 1: Ralph.
Speaker 2: Ralph to me at this point, if they're going to
Speaker 2: put up a poster of a lead singer, it's going
Speaker 2: to be Ralph treason because the way he held his
Speaker 2: guys down every single night, meaning like he was a
Speaker 2: part of every set. I think he mighty some nights
Speaker 2: he might have stayed out when BBD was still doing
Speaker 2: their set, and just you know, like I would Bobby,
Speaker 2: I would like Ralph Man. The work that he put
Speaker 2: in on this tour was amazing and I have, I mean,
Speaker 2: for all the guys, I got the utmost respect Ralph though.
Speaker 2: It ain't Ralph, though they say when they started talking
Speaker 2: about the West, as they talking about these leads, my
Speaker 2: comment back is it ain't Ralph. Watched him do it
Speaker 2: every night, no complaints, sing every song He's on, every
Speaker 2: New Edition song. Ralph Transman is on every New Edition song.
Speaker 2: Think about that. And I watched him do that every night.
Speaker 2: Miss I didn't miss to tell him got business. I
Speaker 2: just got it. You know, A whole new found respect
Speaker 2: for that man. And you know, those those those brothers
Speaker 2: are great, all of them. Everybody that shared that tour,
Speaker 2: that was on that tour, from like you said, from
Speaker 2: the production to the management, to the business side to
Speaker 2: the artist, everybody showed us crazy love to the massuse
Speaker 2: shout out to the Massus saving us, you know what
