00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: people being crazy?

20
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: You know Florida people is it's different down there. You

21
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: have a different, different age, a different different mindset down there.

22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everybody always likes to travel to Florida's no

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: matter what people say.

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: You know, y'all, we're gonna see y'all somewhere down there.

25
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's talk about everything that you have

26
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: going on because it's so much. You're in Atlanta now

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: you're playing for the Falcons and you have it. Do

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: you have a studio in Atlanta too? I do, so

29
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: it kind of worked out.

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: It's like an airbn beard studio and it's like people

31
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: ran off for like two weeks in court projects if

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: that makes sense. Has like four rooms, podcast rooms, you

33
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: got the whole bangs still getting done up.

34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, got takes the process. So how long have

35
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: you had that? Two years?

36
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: So you had that before you even knew you were

37
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: going to be playing for the Falcons. That's so it

38
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: really is kind of an ideal situation for you.

39
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, like second home, Yeah, got work some serious way.

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: You got to balance it. I guess I would say

41
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: balancing right. You structure right and strategic about things you do.

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: But you're always gonna get critics from anything you do,

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: no matter if you're doing good or bad.

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: They going with got something to say. That's the world

45
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: we live in now.

46
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: But and I mean now being in Atlanta you have a.

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Black head coach also? Is that? Yeah? Yeah?

48
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: Second is that significant for you though? Like how do

49
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: you feel about that? Because there's only I think six

50
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: now I.

51
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 3: Think a coach is a coach, you know what I mean.

52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: Coaches and good people coming all colors, but just having

53
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: someone that can relate to you, which was I had

54
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: Mike t back in I want to say twenty twenty one, I.

55
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: Had them too.

56
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean I had him and I got Rannie Morris

57
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: and they actually coached together a while back, and they're

58
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: similar in so many ways. And like just to be

59
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: able to walk in my shoes comfortable, not I have

60
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 3: to act a little bit is a different feeling. And

61
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: now I can just go there. I go to work.

62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: I dry to work every morning, have it like I'm

63
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: about to go have fun. I love football like I

64
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: always love it. But sometimes you know, you go to

65
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 3: where I gotta work, this person leave, I gotta see

66
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: this person. Never had that feeling going to work when

67
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: I was at Pittsburgh.

68
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Or right now. That's a good thing. I've had other places,

69
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: but we do not gonna speak on that.

70
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: But okay, now, because our boss up here as a

71
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: black woman, and this is the first time I ever

72
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: had a black woman, we call her coach also, and

73
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: so it is a different feeling when somebody could relate

74
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: to you in a different way, you know, Like you said,

75
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: work is work, coaching is coaching, but being able to

76
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: have somebody that you feel like has more of a connection.

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: It was like I used to feel like I have

78
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: to like watch what I do, like to be myself.

79
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: Like sometimes I used to have my hair braided and

80
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: wear hat, so it's like my hair is not loud,

81
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: Like I'm not in the room being extra, you know.

82
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: Now like when I was at Pittsburgh, seriously black coach,

83
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: It's like I can't go to practice.

84
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: How I want to go.

85
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: I call my du rag ifone mydg right, my coach

86
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: were a dog. But it's more of just the life

87
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: I live in. Life lifestyle I'm in. I'm in entertainment.

88
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: I've been in that since I've to before football and

89
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: h because my family, my dad was into it and

90
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: that's what I was born into it, you know, So

91
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: I'm used to that, used to dressing, used to I

92
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: always had a chain. I got trouble with my rookie year, like,

93
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: oh you this is what you spend your money, Like

94
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: I had this in college.

95
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I came like this, Yeah, it's like I had high school.

96
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: But uh, that's always been who I am and sometimes

97
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: I get in trouble for that, for being who I am,

98
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: you know.

99
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: Right, but now you feel and you in Atlanta, I mean,

100
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: Atlanta is going to be lit for you with the music.

101
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: I know you said your dad has been in music

102
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: and he's worked with some legendary artists too.

103
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: So let's get.

104
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: Into the background of how you kind of grew up

105
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: in this music business.

106
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: Well, my dad played ball and heard me and he

107
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: was back and forth traveling with the ball in this

108
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: and actually my uncle, my mom's brother, was He was

109
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: a beach K before they kind of took off, and

110
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: he wanted to be a solo Carl Anderson baby.

111
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Baby face for a while. Wait, he was in B

112
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: two K before they took off and everything what happened

113
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: that made him leave headed very hard. And that's the

114
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: one that's the worst one. Music. That's how my dad

115
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: got into music.

116
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: To him, he was manag gym and music took off

117
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: for him and he stopped with the ball and uh

118
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: his entrepreneurship. He had a daycare, going music restaurant and

119
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: it just was everything was going good.

120
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: He was able to see me every day. He spend

121
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: telling me I was a daddy's bos I was always

Speaker 1: you going, I'm going with you? Like so uh that was.

124
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: One of the reasons he got into it and went

125
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: for years and just lead ended up got built in

126
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 3: my house.

127
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: That's huge.

128
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: They lived with us for like eight eight or nine

129
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: years probably so damn So it was always I was always.

130
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: So, were you learning how to produce and do things

131
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: just from watching?

132
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes at a young age. I was, but my dad

133
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: made me stop doing music. He stopped.

134
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: He got out of music for like when I was

135
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: about eleven twelve, and then I focused on I was

136
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: always focused on sports, but he was like, and it

137
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: is life stressful, and we focused on ball where he

138
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: focused on ball with me and just we ran with it.

139
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: And here now and one of my artists, Ronte he

140
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: right here. My dad was like, I'll get back into

141
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: it if y'all take it seriously, y'all show me y'all

142
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: want it. So for years we had to do it

143
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: on our own. Were always throwing parties in high school and.

144
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Doing all that. But we wasn't.

145
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: We ain't have our own music yet, and we was

146
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: playing around with it. But once he started taking to

147
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: see it and my dad was like, man, I hope

148
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: y'all get back into it and we're here now.

149
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: We took so many leaps.

150
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 3: We uh just got the papers for a deal. We

151
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: just got h were merging with so with Virgin Who Version, version,

152
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: record label, Versions, recor label. Okay, CB watching miss up

153
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: and uh and yeah we thank don't believing in my vision.

154
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: I had this visions I was like fifteen, so it's

155
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: coming intuition.

156
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: So that's interesting that when it was a choice between

157
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: music and sports, your dad wanted you to go more

158
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: for football.

159
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: Football was always my main thing, no, but you know,

160
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: he was in the music life, so I was around

161
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: it and I was that was around the Romeo bow

162
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: Wow era, so he was really yeah, it's not. Me

163
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: and Snoop had a relationship because of that Snoop Dogg

164
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: because he was in the football and we played against

165
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: each other.

166
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: So him, me and Cordell his son, so.

167
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: Well, that is an amazing way to grow up. This

168
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: is kind of like and to have your foot in

169
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: both things. Because people might think, Okay, he's focused on

170
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: doing music now, you know, aside from doing but you

171
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: always were doing music first and maybe people didn't know that, and.

172
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: That'd be the hard part with football because you not

173
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: like everybody trying to say rappers want to be artist's

174
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: gonna be athletes.

175
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: Athletes be artists, and there's not a lot of great

176
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: athletes that become artists.

177
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: And I was really doing this before. It's like a thing,

178
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: like a trend. Everybody want to do music all of

179
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: a sudden, you know, which is nothing wrong with that,

180
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: but I was.

181
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Like, you get you get critic. Everybody got something to

182
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: say about everybody in my opinion, right, So you.

183
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: Gotta be strategic how you put it out, strategic, how

184
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: you do it, and you just can't come out playing.

185
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: You gotta be like the big boys stamp, gotta be

186
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: on it. And that's why I ain't never really you

187
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: can't just look up my music yet because when you

188
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: see it, it's gonna be it's gonna be stamped, and

189
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: it's gonna be correct, and everything's gonna be a one.

190
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: What NFL players also did music that were good? I

191
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: mean Melvin ingra okay, Major nine.

192
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay, what about Deon Sanders?

193
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Did he do music? Yeah? Yeah, that's my favorite athlete.

194
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: Okay, As I remember back in the day, they had

195
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: did NFL. Yeah, Basketball Shock did. He was outstanding.

196
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Remember that this did another little verse An album and

197
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: DJ Shock do DJ.

198
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a risky thing though, because no matter what,

199
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: people are already coming to kind of hate on it

200
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: a little bit like when you start.

201
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: They're gonna hate it, like we're only supposed to go

202
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: that one thing or something but not multiple things.

203
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: Grind that it consistent and you get better and better

204
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: and better than all of the sudden.

205
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: People believe in you always seen it.

206
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: But you play your music in the locker room like

207
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: when when you are getting ready to let everybody here.

208
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Depends on the mood, like we're getting crunk and all that.

209
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

210
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: It depends I'll play one of my son I ain't

211
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: got multiple songs of that type of energy.

212
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: You know.

213
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: It depends on the vibe we all kicking involving Yea,

214
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play my music. I make more like vibe

215
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: is I'm saying more vibe music, you know.

216
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: So you know it's interesting.

217
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 2: Like you said, you want to make sure that you

218
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: come out correct, and I know you also put out

219
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: like a documentary on to B as well. Yeah, docuseries

220
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: and so it feels like that was a way for

221
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: you to kind of get your music and get situated too.

222
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: So can you talk about that crazy We shot that

223
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: about four years ago? Oh really yeah, okay, and so

224
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Toby's doing a lot right now too. Yeah.

225
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: So when we put that together, it was some We

226
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 3: didn't think it was gonna go to tob We thought

227
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: it was gonna get it longer and we still add

228
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: to and stuff, but uh, it's doing well.

229
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: You know. We had why we did that.

230
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: In between we had music going on BTDT plus or

231
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: soundtracks of movies and that's kind of w were scoring

232
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: movies for a minute, and U that the two we

233
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: thing came about, and it was just like a big

234
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: deal for us, you know, just having our own own

235
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: thing on a platform to be able to be seen.

236
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: And I'm excited to see the growth of where we

237
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: go next with it next and that and that. Uh

238
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: in that field the field, how.

239
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: Is your time restraints, Because clearly there's a lot of

240
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: dedication when it comes to sports, but also a lot

241
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: of dedication when it comes to music.

242
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Balance having a team.

243
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: I think having a team probably the biggest, the biggest

244
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: key to be able to balance anything because you can't

245
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: wear every hat and play ball because the ball part

246
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: take over eighty five percent to be real.

247
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 2: And it's also hard because you've had to move around

248
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: a lot too. Yeah, so you know, being able to

249
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: be stable and to be some place in Atlanta where everybody's.

250
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: Going to be everything right there, you know. So it's

251
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean focused, yeah, and on whatever.

252
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: How I'm doing that though, I'm putting everything in ball

253
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: and like little pieces that come, uh piece it like

254
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: that and less slowly. See, I'm a balancing and structure

255
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: like that, because that life could take over and football

256
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: get extracted, and I will never allow that.

257
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: It's always football, football, football first.

258
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: I say no to everything until I figure out how

259
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: I want it to be, you know, right, I won't

260
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: to just jump into it because it's a good idea

261
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: to do for the music stuff, you know, right now

262
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: at least.

263
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: That's a good smart strategy though, because basically football is

264
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: the center of everything that you do. But you have

265
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: a team of people that's setting everything up so that

266
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: later on, because it is time to start thinking about

267
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: like life.

268
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: After football too.

269
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: Of course, you know, when you think about how long

270
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: you'll be playing for in your head, do you have

271
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: a number thirteen thirteen years?

272
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to push it to twelve thirteen.

273
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you feel good about that. What about the

274
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: position that you play? Have you ever felt like, okay,

275
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: I would like to switch to defense or yeah?

276
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: I played both ways in college, in high school, my

277
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: whole Life'll played both ways, like my first two years

278
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: in the league.

279
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: What do you prefer offense? Like the ball of my ass? Okay,

280
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: but I like playing ball, so don't period. Yeah, well,

281
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm switching no time. So it's too

282
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: late for that.

283
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: Now, it's not too late, but I'm just so locked

284
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: in right now, receiver. I don't want to folkus no

285
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: one else.

286
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Right because and people really love you and know you

287
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: for that position.

288
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

289
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: Look, I tell you I'm not a big sports person.

290
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm really here to talk.

291
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: About the music. But but you know, I pay attention

292
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: to what's going on.

293
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the single that you have.

294
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: It's not even out yet, and like you said, it's

00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: hard to google to find some of the music. When

443
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,240

452
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,280

Speaker 3: But yeah, but I like greatness, you know what I'm saying.

521
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: For it to work and go where it go, you

522
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: gotta have a certain have a certain standard, you know

523
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. That's how that's a great teams in football.

524
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: We use football terminology in real life, right.

525
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: No, that makes sense. It is.

526
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: And when it comes to football, it's a lot of discipline. Clearly,

527
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: anybody that's gonna make get to that level, there's no

528
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: way you can do that without having a level of discipline.

529
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: And no, he's easy for real, not not the best

530
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: frien part, but that's my brother, but not the artist

531
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 3: part of it. And that's what of the reason my

532
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: dad got back into it. It's like I'm not doing

533
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 3: the headaches no more. That's why he got out of it,

534
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: so I'll get back to it. Because he lists, He coachable,

535
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, not me, but if it's dumb,

536
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: he Listensas the process been for.

537
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 4: You, I mean it's been good. We've been going good.

539
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,199

00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 5: been easy to at the same time because he provides

544
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 5: me with avenues that certain artists can't reach, right, you

580
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: passion music, music is probably like my third or fourth,

581
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: but like my film, my me and my my passion

582
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: is film creating, film creating visions, very visionary, so that's

583
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 3: kind of what I'm into. I've been acting classes and

584
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: everything for like two years, but I want I want

585
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 3: to make my own avenue like what ice Cube was doing.

586
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,400

591
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 3: of it, directed or going back going that lane. But

592
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 3: my time holds me back for a lot of things,

593
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: which I'm okay with because I love balls.

594
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,480

00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: lot of people when you hear like, even if you

631
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: look at Serena Williams and Venus Williams and watch their movie,

632
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: some people felt like their father was too strict and

633
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: like pushing them too hard. But some people will say

634
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: kids need that, like in order to be able to

635
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: achieve a certain level of excellence, and if it's something

636
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 2: that he knows that you love doing, sometimes it is

637
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: pushing you hard.

638
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,840

00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: Parties, friends, events because in the time it may not
