I get what you're trying to do. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:50.320 I get dead on. I felt like I was in Heigho, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.640 I was graduating high school all over again. 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.800 That was a very authentic record. Oh many, thank you man, 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.960 Devin Morrison. I can't even take all of that compliment. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.760 Yeah no, no, absolutely absolutely he was the student. 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.000 But it's like, what it made me realize is that 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:15.200 people are so hungry for that energy. Because just putting 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.360 out the word like y'all might need to sing this, 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.799 it just went crazy. Shout out to Charlie Wilson because 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.440 that was the first that was my first time here. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.279 That that's what opened my ears. I was like, what 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.960 is Charlie singing? First of all, his voice is he's 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.880 out of control. I'm like his attitude, you know, what 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.000 I'm saying. But then to go back to the originally, 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.880 Oh shit, I said, oh, this needs to be a thing, 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:42.839 and you made it a thing. This needs to be 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:43.159 a thing. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.520 So I'm hoping that there were millions of you know, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:51.159 interactions and sales and lots of show money. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.599 And uptick and uptick that's what they called it. 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.120 So there was plenty of uptick for for you too, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:58.279 my friend, because y'all did that. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.760 Yeah, how did that? How did that record come back? 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:09.920 Something like this with just men talking and then making 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:10.960 music at the same time. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:11.440 Right. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.320 I used to make a lot of videos about my 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.279 observations when I travel, and I was like, in Africa 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.080 they got the yams that the women in America getting 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.360 surgery to get. That was the conversation, right, And so 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.760 I'm always talking about yams. And she got a yamtation 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.479 back there and a Yamborghini Green Eggs and Yam. That's 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:35.320 just been how I've spoken to that. You know, those 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.159 are past cars and Borghini right there. And so Devin, 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.880 being an equally hilarious young man, made an instrumental called 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.080 Yams and then we started to have a conversation over 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.760 this instrumental and you know, we were talking in tone, 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.440 and then we began to sing a little bit, and 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.480 then I guess eventually a song was birthed. You know, 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.800 I heard I'm supposed to do this when I talk 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:57.200 to people. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.680 I like that, but supposed to. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:11.400 Look left and right when you media training. That's all 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.720 these songs. Were just having fun, you know what I'm saying. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.920 And like Devin is a student of commission in all 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.480 things nineties, you know, and you can absolutely he can 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.640 hear it's crazy, and so like usual, I'm just having fun, 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.880 you know what I'm saying. Like he left and then 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.919 he texts back a bridge. I text back a response 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.400 to the bridge. He texts back, uh damn colder or 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.119 something like that. And then I put a sax solo 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.760 on it, and then Max here is it, my bass 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.960 player friend, and he's like, you gotta put this out, bro, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:41.680 And he's telling me for years. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.000 He's like, bro, cool seven years? What for three years? Maybe? 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.640 Oh yeah? Yeah? 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.960 Every year we play it during Thanksgivings. Max, you know, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:57.359 he would always do every Thanksgiving. Yes, He's like, bro, record, 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.000 He's like, come on, stop this drop this record. Just 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.640 it's like come on. We was having fun like, I 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.880 don't want to do all that. Finally, we just you 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.400 were taking yourself too serious. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:10.480 Yes, I was, because we fight musicianship, we fight for 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.800 the cool. It's the code of musicians just don't want 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:20.080 to seem outside of the realm of true create creativity. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.160 But it's like, when you're having your most fun, you're 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:29.120 probably being your most creative because it's it's not overthinking anything, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.800 it's just it's just flowing, allowing it to be whatever 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:33.880 the moment calls for. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.480 I think the first musician that I met that I 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.720 felt like was truly having fun was t Pain was 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.840 having a good time. Great example, when I met Tea 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.960 pay because at first I didn't realize how much of 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.080 a musician he was because nobody did, because you just 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.640 kind of wrote it off, just the public's ignorance of 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.040 what greatness really is. And then I meet him and 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.679 I'm in a studio with him, I'm like, oh shit, 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.720 this niggas amazing. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.120 He's just having a good fucking time. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.160 At no point was he serious at any moment during 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.040 the session, anytime I've ever run into him. He's just 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.559 a fun, loving guy having a good ass time making 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.480 amazing music. And I think that it gave me a 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:26.360 sense of understanding freedom musically to me when I when 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.280 I you know, when I met him, I was just like, damn, 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.280 this is he's in a very free space. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.280 I'm going to add a person to your statement that 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:39.199 it's just that are animal spirit spirit animals in Jazzy 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.760 fat Oh yeah, Jazzy. 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.240 The Fizzle, the Fizzle Finz. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.520 Yeah yeah, Jazzy Fizzle been having a good time, great 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.319 respect always. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:54.559 Oh boy, he's always having a good time.

With it, or did he reach out 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.560 to y'all or like, you know, because this is just 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.480 a we're in a new music business.

They thought they. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:01.880 Was like, you do you ain't you ain't tapping No, Fettie, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.040 you ain't tapped in. 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.040 I like Fetty Way. I like the boy. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.320 He got good songs, but he ain't not to originate 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.680 of this. His essence ain't why I fell in love 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:14.040 with this. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.600 That was your argument. That was my argument. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.880 Wastead of just been like, you know what, y'all wasn't 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:21.240 tapped in. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.760 I didn't know about the I was tapped into the sauce. Hallelujah. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:31.840 Oh my my mind. There you go. Duplicators were replicators. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:32.400 Wow. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.680 But I went to the originator. I went to the sauce. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:41.280 Look to the heels, from which comes my my god, so. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.439 The gold around my next to talk, Let's go back 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:48.960 to the beginning. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:54.400 Bro, Let's go back to the beginning, to this all 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.560 started for you, to where you know, I like to say, 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.680 when somebody looked at you and say that boy gonna 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.080 be some I'm like that boy got it? 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.079 Or you even said you even said to yourself, I'm 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.960 kind of nice. Yeah, yeah, the beginning. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.559 Yeah, I think when I was eight years old, right, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:13.719 this is back to the church days. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.960 Yeah, that's you go there, We're going to go there. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:21.560 I used to always ignore the sermon and watch the musicians. Yeah, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.480 that was my whole bot because they had their own 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:28.240 little community, communicating with the hand signals and not dressing 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.240 in church clothes. And I was like, they're having fun. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.880 I like this. I don't want to hear this. I'm 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.600 eight years old. Of course I want to play tag 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.800 at the in the church. And so my parents noticed 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.920 that I was only gravitating towards this, and we're saying, like, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.360 we got to pray over your hands. If you want 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.199 to be in the music industry or the music you know, ministry, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.679 let's make sure you're doing it right. So from there 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.840 they saw that I had an affinity for learning music. Quickly, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.440 I'm hopping on the drums, I had natural rhythm. I 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.560 was hopping on the keys. I wasn't singing yet, but 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.719 I was just trying to play all the instruments, pick 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.920 the bass, pick it whatever. And They're like, Okay, he 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.360 gonna be somebody someday. That's when that started cool. And 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.480 so then the next iteration of that was when I 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.400 had to choose a related arts in middle school, meaning 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:16.720 you want to paint or you want to be in 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.080 a band. And so I was deciding. And we had 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.800 a class in our school that always had a subsidute teacher. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.800 Because she never showed up in this particular subsidute teacher. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.520 She had a little Yamborghini behind her. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.880 All right, made you more interested in the class. I said, yeah, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.359 what's her story? So let's have a guy. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:42.680 I was like a seventh eighth story. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.560 Yeah, you want to know you know what I'm saying. 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.080 I said something in my spirit she might have needed. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.640 She made need a management. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.720 I didn't even know that word back then, but I 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.160 wanted to manage something. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.840 For you to play over her hands from his hands. 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:03.360 Yeah, we'll get there. I'm asking my boys, like, yo, 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.560 how do I get her heart? And he said, we 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.960 gotta do some research. I look at her binder. It's 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.760 a picture of Najie Davis and the binder. I hit 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.800 the Googles and I said, that's a saxophone player. I 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.080 want to be in the band. 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:17.600 Cool. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.680 And so I'm in the band. I'm learning saxophone, like 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.600 I need to learn saxophone. Every Sunday, I'm like ear 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.000 pressed on the TV. Trying to like figure that out.

If there's any detention you 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:58.440 got for me, any extra credit? My next question is 0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.600 she doing for the TN. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:14.879 Now think where his music and musicianship takes us, but 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:19.240 it takes your places. 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:20.320 Around. 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.960 I'll be reflecting, like, man, we can really do a lot. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:23.320 Man. 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.800 Yeah, substitute teacher, wasn't there a lot? So cool? All 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.680 I was left with was the instrument. Continued to play. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.359 It got kicked out of class a lot because I 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:39.439 wanted to learn other songs that you wrote unknowingly, and 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.040 so that's all I would do during class, Listen on 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.600 line wire whatever mixtape somebody brought me on the school. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.360 You know what I mean, what's that? Okay, that's such 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:49.320 and such about. 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:49.560 To learn that? 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.720 That's all I did that a class cool. But then 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.119 I had a substitute teacher for band one day. It 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.080 was this dude, mister Hulkam, big black dude, listen to 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.439 Charlie Parker type of guy. And he was like, you 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.240 gonna be something. I'm not gonna kick you out today. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.040 I'm gonna put you into jazz band. So he puts 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.879 me in the jazz band and it's way better for 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.720 me because I can improve. And the best part was 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.080 that partner sheet music and it was like make it up. 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.080 I said, oh this for me. So every day, I 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:18.920 get to just make a solo up. Then I can 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.439 stay in class and just get that out. And I 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.720 feel like from there it just kept progressing. I'm like, 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.639 I don't want a jazz band, I want my own band. 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:28.680 I don't want to go to this college. I want 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.639 to drop out of college. It just kind of kept 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:31.840 compounding from there. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:37.640 I feel like your generation was the generation that kind 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:42.480 of reshaped the idea of how you learn to play instruments, 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.840 because before your generation, it was always very much the 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.119 structure of Bach and Beethoven. It was just very much 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.080 fingers on the Middle Sea, thumb on the Middle Sea, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.240 and you move from there. But I think your generation 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.240 started a thing where the music needed to meet the individual, 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.479 you know what I mean. Because like one of the 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.840 teachers that teaches my son, like, she was like, well, 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.439 what do you like And he's like, well, I like 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.720 Spider Man and she was like, okay, well let's learn 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:19.720 Spider Man. Yeah, And so he's he's excited. He's learning 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.080 the theory to Spider Man. But in his mind, he's 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.520 just learning Spider Man, learning Spider Man, but he's learning 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.960 all of the theory. He understands where the key. 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:39.160 Is piquing someone's interest, and if they taught us that way, 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:40.560 we wouldn't learn so much more. 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:45.200 But it was everything was this is how it's always been. 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.520 It was so much tradition, and I think your generation 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:49.840 was was the start of breath. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.320 And if you come across a Yamborghini, Yamborghinia making you 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.439 come across want. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.359 To learn, do wrong wrong. 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.800 So you're at college, you're at college, you're not, but 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:16.000 you're at Yeah, I'm at there. I think I wouldn't 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.800 say I felt like the man, but I knew I 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.360 was an outlier. I used to longboard and play saxophone 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:21.960 at the same time. 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.600 Hold on, man, that's. 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:28.080 Like that image is around on the net.
