Now, this is gonna 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.400 I am paraphrasing. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.040 I am not what is this it called. I'm just 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:44.800 I'm just. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.679 This is how I feel like music happened, right. I 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.200 feel like music originated in Africa. I feel like as 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.760 it was going across it got dropped off in Jamaica. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:13:05.120 Right when it got dropped off in Jamaica, Yes, it 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.200 was little sprinkles. But when it went to like I said, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.839 I'm paraphrasing, I'm like some of this ship, I'm just 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.000 are you paraphrasing though, I'm just I'm just let's say 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:15.959 your freestyle. That's what I should have said. I'm freestyle. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.600 I'm like trying to this is coming trying to say. 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.520 We all know music and the original man comes from Africa, right, 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.520 so music everything has to come from Africa. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.839 At some point it hit the Caribbean. Let me not 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.720 say just Jamaica. It hit the Caribbean. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.920 Then at some point it hit America and when that's 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.679 what hip hop is discovered, right, hip hop kind of 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.439 took over did whatever. And then it's like through hip hop. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:47.080 You got. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.520 Reggaeton, right, that came from not not not come from Yeah, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.320 I would say that hip hop. I think it's dance 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.839 hall hip hop, then dance hall, right, and then no 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.480 dance was before hip hop. But that's why I said 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.040 got dropped off in Jamaica. 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:06.719 You want to correct me. And then I was trying 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:13.599 to make it percussionsion. That's where it all ties in. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:14.800 It's percussion, right. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.760 So what I'm trying to make is a correlation from 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.280 hip hop became became the biggest genre in the world, 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.080 then through hip hop reggaeton, and then from reggaetone. It's 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.360 like I felt like I got a friend named at 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:32.680 N right. He's actually from Senegal, but he but that's 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.240 my man in France. And after I had I did 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.480 reggae thone, and you know reggae thone blew up and 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.720 did all that. He kept saying this African rigged thone. 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.520 He didn't know how to call it afro beat. He 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.080 wouldn't he knew I wouldn't understand if so, he would 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.800 call it to me. He would say to me this 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.960 African reggaeton and he would play me the music and 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.240 I would be like, this ship is ill. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.920 But I was like, I don't know how. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.160 I don't know how, like and ten years later, so 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.840 right now hear me just out the blue.

They're looking at me like, 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:48.960 you know what, let's just let him do what he 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.800 wants to do. What years is this twenty seventeen? So 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.320 I signed my deal in twenty fifteen. In twenty sixteen 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.320 was like a dead year from me. Wow, that was 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:03.080 like the year like figuring it up. Oh so twenty seventeen, 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.960 got that record, shot the video, we dropped it two 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.080 days later. I called myself, I told you so. Then 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.639 from then they started, you know, allowing me have like 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.840 my you know, creative face, and then everything's just so. 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.920 Crazy hotly And did they know was it already being 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:22.800 called afrobeats? 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:26.840 No, you know afrobeats originally it fell out of genre 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.240 because you didn't like that word applebeats right at first. 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.920 Because it's it's it's it's now it's too late, you know. 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:35.720 I wanted not to get up, but I wanted to 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:39.160 ask you, like, do you like the division and calling something? 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.119 Because no, because if you go and listen to my 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:48.000 album now, like there are songs there that are downhall right, yes, 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.000 like this song with me on dext adapts this song. 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:53.120 There's another song on the album called for the Road 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:57.280 that's that's basically a downs all templates, but because an 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:58.880 African music sign is singing. 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:00.399 It, we call it apple beats. 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:05.679 Afrobeats originally is feller is a certain kind of music. 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:07.879 Wasn't it just beats literally, wasn't it? 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.040 Yes, no beats on vocals as well. So one of 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:16.359 the first places that I know edged African music was London, 0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:18.360 the UK, you know the UK. 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.080 That was like they're ahead of a lot always when 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.320 you blow up back home, when you blow up back home, 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.120 just like drumming bass over there, they're always ahead and up. 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.880 When you blow up back home. To solidify your success 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:33.320 is you got to go to do a show in London. 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:36.200 That's like I'm on, I'm saying, that's where all the 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:39.159 Africans go when they leave the country and they on 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.879 it's London and London, you know, proximity. 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.359 So London has always been, you know, the place, so 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:51.440 like almost New York in America, New York always gets 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:54.760 the first, it's always New York. But in Europe, in Europe, 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:58.840 London was the main place. W was London that I 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.200 think there was one public I don't I'm one hundred 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:05.680 percent sure, but I think like a big newspaper did 0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:10.160 like a article and it was like afro beats. 0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.600 A phase or here to stay like that. 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.920 So it was a big conversation and then we just 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.280 ended up being called afrobeats. 0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.600 And it sounds like almost a story, and. 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:26.800 Like even reggaitar artists, you can't tell me there's some 0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:29.560 that did, some that do R and B. There was 0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:33.600 to put on the under the right doesn't sound like anymore. 0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:36.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:39.240 I used to call it. They used to call a 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:42.920 Spanish reggae right. To me, that was more of a 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.640 of an appropriate name, to be honest with you, because 0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:49.760 it was murder, she wrote, jacked up. The beginning of 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:50.600 it was. 0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:52.920 Very true, very I don't think I don't think no 0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.840 one could argue that. Okay, so but all let's talk 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.080 about your your cousin h MPZ narrow. 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:04.480 So I'm the last of five kids born. 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:04.720 I was. 0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:07.160 I've always been the youngest in the household. 0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:09.520 Everyone else worked for your pops.

So he's the one that, 0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:50.159 you know, first took me to the studio. And he 0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:51.600 was a prospect artist. 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:53.080 So it was four of us. 0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:58.080 My cousin be Read be Red brother she know, then 0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:02.680 MPs in me.

So I was already doping that. 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.440 So and then I already knew my dad wasn't gonna 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:23.400 fuck with me. Wanted to be a full out musician. 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:25.119 So I was like, you know what, I rather just 0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:28.119 be in the background. And then I was like, I 0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:30.359 just meant I'd like this mental I used to look 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.600 up to Don Jozy. He's like the biggest producer in 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.720 that year at the time. So he'd like sign artists 0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:38.240 write for them, get a percentage of their ship. You 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:42.119 know what I'm saying now, I go.

Yeah? 0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:42.600 Yeah yeah. 0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:44.720 And I'm like, you know why I say that because 0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:47.960 most artists, like from New York, they let me not 0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:48.360 know that. 0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:50.760 That's what I'm saying. We I used to remember, I 0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:53.440 learned her to record. So the whole time, I'm not 0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:54.240 really wanting to be. 0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.640 An artist like that because my dad and he's wanting 0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:57.840 to produce. He wants to be in the back. 0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:01.760 So that that that made me fall in love. What 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.120 I saw made me fall in love. So that's what 0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:06.800 I wanted to do African music. Like I say this, 0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:09.640 I cannot do be better than Chris Brown. Chris, I 0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:14.280 cannot do better. So it's something I always say.
