It was the song is, uh, well, your 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.920 veneers don't look fake, which is good, I think because 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.560 I got them in a time where they weren't super 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.360 pushed and marketed, so motherfuckers weren't doing bad jobs or something, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.440 you know what I mean, or over. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.800 The top veneers, because yours look natural. I would never Yeah, 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.200 I think I got a good dentist. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.720 The reason I did the song I had alluded to 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.760 it and stand up before About the Veneers, I called 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:36.280 them TVT and I was I saw a thumbnail on 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.640 YouTube about somebody saying they had hair plugs, and so 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.320 it made me think about things I'd gotten, and so 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.080 I thought about my Veneers, and I'm like, yeah, that 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.600 could be a that's an interesting song concept with Veneers 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.920 being a placeholder for anything people get to cover up something, 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.720 you know what I mean. Veneers the tief thing is 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.960 one thing. But and so just did the song did 0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.400 one version of it. The demo of it has I 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.880 do a drum solo and a terrible jum solo and 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.120 I'm screaming, I'm not going to splice. I'm not going 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.320 to splice, just going crazy on the drums. That's such 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.720 your like inside joke abouts producers. Yeah, that's why is 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.120 not in the song anymore. 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.600 It's such a niche like like point zero zero zero 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.840 five percent of the popular like he would get it. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.359 Yeah. Yeah, So but it was a you know, I 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.680 I produced it a little bit on the on the 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:33.040 mold synthesizer app just to simple them down down, uh. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.480 And it was just a fun, fun record that I 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.080 believed in and I performed it at Bruise of Thanksgiving 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:45.720 twenty twenty one, Danny Brown's event in Detroit, and it 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.040 just went crazy. It was just really live, you know, 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.840 and this is a song that wasn't outright, I never 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.560 heard it, which is hard to it's soup. It was crazy. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.640 People were rocking to it, I think because it's slower 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.360 and just easy to catch on and so that was 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.200 really exciting. And then wanted, you know, just Danny liked 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.320 the song, asked him to be on the remix. You 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.480 have Veneers one of my one of the few guys 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.480 who needed him truly, I won't say anybody needs Veniers. Well, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.159 he was missing he had missing space. Yeah, but that 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.719 you know, is it? Yeah? It was kind of his trademark. Look, yeah, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.240 it was kind of kind of took away from like, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:21.960 you know, his. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:22.800 Trademark a little bit. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.320 Yeah, just still eat. You know, it's not you know, 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:25.800 it's not. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.000 Like having you know, it's other things that could be worse. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.080 That's the thing too with the song now, because I'm like, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.279 oh man, I didn't really mean it to be telling 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.800 other motherfuckers that you need Veneers. It was more of 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.960 about it was like a self roasting celebration a little 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.719 bit at the same time, more so than like, hey, 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.200 motherfucker out there, random person with bad teeth. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.839 I don't care about your teeth that much. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.720 I was making fun of myself, but I understand it's 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.080 in a song now, so people could take it a 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.120 certain way. It is what it is. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.880 So let me ask you this the dark side of 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.919 the Veneers.

We just didn't know about it. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.200 I recorded music before I ever did stand up, probably 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.480 my last year of high school. My homie Dave had 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.400 this I forget the name of this beat machine with 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.680 it was blue. He made some beats on now He's 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.279 made some really some really bad fun songs back then 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.000 right now, before I ever did stand up, and then 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.200 just earlier on in my stand up was always adjacent 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.480 to it from the very beginning, from hosting you know, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.159 open mics to I battle wrapped in college just because 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.560 it wasn't that much stage time to do comedy, so 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.200 it was just you know, battle rappings about getting that reaction. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.280 So I said, you know, this is an opportunity for 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:39.719 me to perform. So yeah, from doing skits on people's albums, sure, 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:45.200 talking and hosting shows, opening on Folks shows, to you know, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.120 having music on my show, it's always been, you know, 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.479 been directly adjacent. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.880 Yeah, You've always kind of you've, like I said, you've 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.640 been in You've been involved in like hip hop culture 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.320 from the jump. I feel like, so it's like for you, 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.960 it's like you have to have a certain level of 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.400 confidence to be like I'm gonna because it's a vulnerable 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.400 thing to put music out into the world as as 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.200 somebody who's known for this other stuff. Yeah, you're kind 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.200 of putting yourself out there for criticism, and it's your 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:12.800 art at the end of the day, Right, So, like, 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.120 was there a certain was it that moment where you 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.000 performed the song like or was this just always the plan? 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.040 Like it was a plan, but it was definitely that 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.160 part of it was talking about driving the project since 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:29.640 twenty thirteen, fourteen, but that was an ongoing process of 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.040 just you know, I'm doing this shit and I know 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.800 I could do it and just being in it. And 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.760 so I think doing more shows helped, you know, shit 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.720 that because that's what I come from doing stand up. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.520 You just do stand up repeatedly. So I was just 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.240 doing hell of shows and that would just help build it. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.440 And then it helped me form my new songs my 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:53.280 first project. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.080 Those songs, I liked them, and there's some some fun. 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.520 Stuff on there, but they were kind of made during 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:04.400 you know, twenty twenty one, not really informed by performing. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:04.760 Right. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:10.760 So now the songs is, you know, I've performed them 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.720 before I put them out, so I'm tweaking them too 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:17.400 sometimes or rewriting and seeing what connects with an audience 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.240 or recording after doing the show, after having that type 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.840 of energy. So yeah, it took a while to build 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.360 it up, just because especially when finance is involved, and 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.000 of course it costs money. It costs money, and it 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.600 just that's where the money's coming from. Like that's not 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.040 where the offers are coming from. You know. Initially people aren't, hey, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.720 come rap is that's all me? Are certain that side, 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.960 and people say, come do a movie, Come do stand up, 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.880 come do this, come do all these other things except 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.520 for what I'm actually spending my days doing. So navigating 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.840 that part because that's not what the external communication was. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.959 It was something, But now it's just I'm in a 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.160 good place. I've done a bunch of shows, had a 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.720 fun opportunities year that you know, I know, I'm in 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.360 a situation that the average up and coming rapper is 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.480 not in just because of my previous career. So I 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.840 get a couple of looks that fucking might ne. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.760 People are, I mean, and you have, you know, wrapped 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.400 up a lot of friends along the way, you know. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.280 Yeah, man, it So it's been. People have been really 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.560 supportive beyond you know whatever. And that's what I try 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.720 to focus on now, is it's always gonna be. Even 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.960 when I started doing comedy, some folks no, don't do comedy, 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.600 you know, right, So that that's with anything. But it's 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.920 been so many people that's super supportive and helped out 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:42.640 from you know, the roots. I went out there wrapped 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.719 that pitchfork with them, you know what I mean, And 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.800 and uh, John Mulaney was playing United Center. He's like, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.200 you want to open. I'm like, I want to wrap. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.080 He's like, all right, So I got to wrap in 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.800 United in front of a comedy already with twelve thousand people. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.080 But it's up and then you know, yeah, you're like, 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.560 oh shit, that's Annibal as Animal. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.640 Oh he's rapping all right? Yes, but I don't know, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.840 you know, it's so it's uh, it's been. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.400 It's been really exciting because it puts me in that 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.640 that mode of of that I was in when I 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.200 first started doing stand up. Well, I don't have that 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.880 with stand up. Now. I'll do some stand up, but 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.000 it's for the dough. Like I'm not showing up to 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.280 pop up, but I'll show up to it. I'll show 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:27.920 up at a hip hop over Mike, and I'll wrap 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.920 for eleven people. You know what I'm saying. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.000 It's almost like you're like, like, because I feel like 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.880 that is a part of like when you always hear 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.160 comedians talking about like the come up, going to the 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.720 comedy store, doing all these open mics, trying to do 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.559 five shows in one night to work on your material. Yeah, 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.520 it feels like like one of those times in your 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.520 life where you probably reflect on and be like, man, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.280 that energy I had when I was just trying to 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.240 make Yeah, it's similar. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.080 It's similar now. It's that feeling now because every because 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:58.360 it's a lot of different possibilities and and you know, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.640 it's a different conversation with the audience through the music. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.280 It's similar. It's communication, but it's a different you know, conversations, 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:07.560 different structure to it. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.600 The beats can guide you a little bit. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:14.720 And it's been it's been cool man, and and and 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.400 the records is getting better and the show is getting better. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:22.240 And and and we're learning and releasing music is doing 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.760 music is a skill you grow at that. Releasing music 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.680 is a skill too in itself, and so I'm learning 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.839 that part of it, how to drop music and how 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.920 to So it's just all of the growth and excitement. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.720 I'm hyped every day. Man. Yeah, you said previous careers. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.000 So you're done with like stand up and acting. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.120 Uh not done, But I ain't. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.520 You're focused on I'll do I'll do comedy to cover 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:48.240 the cost. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:49.800 Right now, That's what it purely is. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.280 Your comedy career is now funding your music, and it's 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.040 just and just allowing me to fast. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.520 I did a University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. They booked it 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.560 was their comedy you know night for the semester, and 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.600 so I do my ship. I had a band there, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.320 and so I usually my recent comedy Giggs. I'll just 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.640 do songs at the end after doing an hour whatever. 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.440 Now I try this for mat I'm doing. I'm starting 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.719 off two songs, then I do twenty minutes to stand up, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.360 doing another song in the middle and coming there and 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.320 do like thirty minutes to stand up and then close 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.719 out two songs. You know, that's kind of dope. It's 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.560 a fun show man, that'd be a great show to see. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.160 It's a fun show, and it keeps it lively for me, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.560 and it makes And that's so I enjoyed doing stand 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.880 up in that scenario with the with the band playing 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.280 under and it's just creating a whole vibe. Last year, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.280 I was very I was in my I'm doing music 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.680 mode and I was turning down a lot of shit 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.400 with stand up with no I'm trying to rap it 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.040 like we don't know about all right past and so 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.880 now I figure out how to get both how to 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.679 finagle it like or I just you know, once I'm 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.160 in adult you ain't gonna pull me out the stage 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.160 anyway for rappings, Like I'm on stage already, so it's 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:03.120 not to tell me. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.240 Yeah, So it's there. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.240 Now I'm in that zone of you know, figuring out 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:13.120 how to make it work and and not so locked 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.280 in on just the identity I'm doing music right now 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.600 and leaving the food don't to me about That's where 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.760 I was. I was in a real that's because it 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.880 was still fresh, you know, in your your mind stay 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.520 changes and grows, so it's uh, it's hell of exciting, man, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:27.720 it's it's a fun time and. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.360 You get a healthy balance between the two. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.600 Yeah, and it's a dope show or another format I do. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.000 If I'm playing you know, music venue, pop up, small 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.319 cap like three hundred five hundred, I have an opener, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.760 then I do stand up. Then I have the band 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.800 jam or a music opener or two fifteen twenty minute 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.520 come back out and I come back out do the music. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.360 And so then i've you know, I'm warmed up because 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.480 I already doesn't stand up, so I'm lose two, you 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.080 know what I mean. So and it's a separate set, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.319 change fits or something throwing some shape, you know what 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.719 I mean, like making the whole different thing. So it's 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.960 been cool to kind of figure out the live experience. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.360 I really care about the live show and making the 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.600 shit dope and on point, and you know, motherfuckers come 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.200 out the house to see you. It's it's a very 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.600 important thing. So there's been times where I didn't, you know, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.040 nail it, or I was, you know, foned it in 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.720 on shit, and so now I really cherished the live 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.400 experience and how to make it really dope. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.680 I always say that like the hardest, like probably bravest 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.720 thing anybody can do is just fucking go on stage 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.760 and try to do stand up because your job is 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:35.320 literally like you're like, the feedback is instant. You know 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.000 whether or not you're good because people aren't there to 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.680 fake laugh and they're out there to they want to laugh. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.680 People are there to laugh, So if you bomb, it's 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.160 like it's got to be just I don't know, man, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.000 I mean, how do you compare that to getting comfortable 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.440 on stage as a rapper, because you're already comfortable on stage, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:52.920 like this is kind of what you do. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:58.720 So with the rapping, you can do a lot on 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:04.120 your own. I think you can if you really are 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.920 being about it, you can really improve your stage show 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.160 as a as a musician, you could take leaps and 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.200 bounds over the course of three months, you know what 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:19.000 I mean, Like just huge leaps. Yeah, you can take 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.000 huge leaps in three months as far as your music 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.720 show stand up. I don't know if you take the 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.720 same leaps just three years reps. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.480 It comes to you know, life experience and come from 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.440 send back and then you get better or you know 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:32.200 what I mean. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.600 So that's the one where you know you can kind 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:41.120 of you can and even in process you could pull 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.680 things from people with this being in the studio. It's 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.240 not stealing something. It's just like, oh I see I 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.400 am a feller. Just get the thought you see say 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.440 you hear somebody rap and say, okay, get in the booth, 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.600 get that down. You know, like somebody's just syst that 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.720 that gets other people to act on their instincts in 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:56.680 the in the room. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.160 Right is I think like sharing creative juice is a 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.920 little bit more encouraged. Yeah, that type is so like 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.880 if you sampled some shit or like took a cadence 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.680 from another song and put it on your song. It's 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.160 it's not like a crazy thing in comedy if they 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.720 perceive you stealing jokes, you almost like it kind of 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:17.440 like blackballed at Yeah, it's a uh you just lose 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.840 yourself in this ship more. Uh. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:26.040 Where I was on the show recently, I was trying 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.360 to it's a lot to think about it if you 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.600 want to think about it while you're in your show. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.560 You know what I mean. You got band, you got lights, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.360 there's a lot of stuff. It's a lot to think 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:36.880 about if you want to think about it. But then 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.640 I had the middle of the show, I was like 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.720 just where about the next line and saying the ship 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.040 out of that, and the physicality that comes with that, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.360 like each each bar and just and then that compounds 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.720 throughout the show and then the show. It just went 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.600 up in one of my best shows because the energy 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.040 was there and I just focused on each line and 0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:01.400 just being in it. And so yeah, man, it's it's 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.120 been a real cool time because you know, last year 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.280 this show was better than last year's show. Next year 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.439 show gonna be better than this year show, and so 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:12.280 on and so forth. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.720 You grew up in Chicago, right, Yeah, so give me 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.320 kind of your like are like, what are what are 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.119 you growing up listening to?
