0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>sir Uth? What's up? And you look like you slimmed

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>down a lot? I did? I lost? How did you

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>do that so quick? I wasn't that quick. I was

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>on the way when we met last time. But I've

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>just been, you know, eating right and getting it together.

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>What's eating right for you? What's what's eating right? Because

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I go I usually, you know, I eat a terrible times.

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>So in the morning I start off with a banana

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>shake with peanut butter and some raw coco. And I

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>do that twice and twice the day, do you? But

0:00:55.000 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>then I hit the ginger shot wheat grass, about two

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>gallons of water a day, just walking around, just going in. Now,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I saw you with the food truck. If myself I

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't look healthy though it was not healthy whatsoever. That

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>was the one time, you know, I let it go

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit down there. I'm not gonna lie. I

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>ate a lot of beef, a lot of beef ribs.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>The brisket was out of control. The beef ribs was

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.279
<v Speaker 1>out of control. But the food that I was serving,

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the people loved it. Was like it's something that everyone

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>could eat down there. So uh, fried potatoes with gravy,

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>cheese and brisket. Everyone loved it. Did you cook the

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>food yourself? I gave them the recipe and then the

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>girls that were directed, Yes, I directed, I produced it.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I produced a situation. Yeah. But the girls that were

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>working on the truck, they killed it for me. They

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>really knocked out about two thousand places, and I just

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>gave them all away. It was great. Who comes up

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>with those marketing plants? Because because as a chef, do

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you feel like that, Okay, that's stereotypical. You just go

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to make me throw out a food truck. No. I

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do that because I feel like, you know,

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>connected with the fans, especially through food. Is It's what

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm known for. Yeah, it makes sense, it makes sense.

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>And down there it's it's a food truck heaven in Austin.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's the biggest boom of food trucks in America.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>The best marketing plans, I think, are the ones that

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>make sense for who you are exactly. And you know,

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the ideas I come up with myself,

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>but I can't execute it all the way. So we

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>have the good people that are helping execute it, and

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that's just the way it goes. Or Now, I was

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>listening to the mister Wonderful and they didn't see the

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>production credit yet, so I'm assuming Alchemists did a lot

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>of joints. He did three joints on the yep. Okay,

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>this is because I had thought. Yeah, it confused me

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit because some of the records weren't even

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a rap on them. Yeah, I know. I was

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>just you know, I'm trying to do more of just

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like different pieces of music, not just only rap, because

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I gave out ten projects of straight ridiculous rapping, you

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, just NonStop. So now this time

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to take take the time and just

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>really like do the music I wanted to do. The

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Alchemists tell you should experiment a little, and he was

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>iffy about those joints at first, honestly, but then he

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>came back around. You know, it was like, yeah, you

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>know he needed I just felt like he's done so

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>much already. But it was like, okay, now the major

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>album on the label. You gotta take it one step.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Don't be afraid, because I felt like he built. He

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>sometimes gets put in the category that's like keep it

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>real rapping, you know what I mean, backpacks, But he's

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>not that. Yeah, he listens to saw some music, he

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 1>listens to crazy, so I felt like he needed to

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>show that too. He said that on the record Terry,

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>he said, you do a remix with pit Bull? And

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>like what Bronson do a remix with pit Bull. I'm

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you who the remix is gonna be for

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that song, me pit Bull and then Doom. You got

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it done already. I have the Doom verse. Oh, City

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Boy Blue. That sounded like a jam session. Yeah, that

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>was just like kind of like a light hook on there.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>That was just a better music man that that song

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>right there was specifically, well City Boy Blues, A Light

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in the Attic and Baby Blue. It's supposed to be

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>like a little mini musical in between the album, you know,

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>so that starts it off. It's all about kind of like,

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, relationship things that woes that I've gone through,

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and I just I just caught a bug. Eighty eight

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Keys produced that one right there with Party Supplies, and

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>he just played it for me, and I just couldn't

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>wrap to it. I couldn't catch a rhythm to wrap

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>make it sound good at least. So it's like, you know,

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm writing a song. I was listening to a lot

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of Billy Joel that day and I was like, YO,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>explain the light the Attic record. Yeah, exactly. It was

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.559
<v Speaker 1>a play on I'm the shel Silverstein book, A Lightening

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the Addict. A lighting Addict is uh, you know, it's

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>just it's kind of heroiny, it's kind of you know,

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like dopey. It's like dope music. It's just party

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.799
<v Speaker 1>supplies and uh. And the dude who wrote it, Sean,

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>they were sniffing dope at the time and taking a

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of you know, hallucinogens as well. And that's just

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you say in the Mountains that one's rap. But you know,

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know what I mean that that that

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>music made me feel like I was taking answer for

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 1>ten days straight. That's what I meant. It's just like

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.559
<v Speaker 1>that Turkish funkadelic. Man, it's just some next level music.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>They just like the music from all over the world.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Is this There's so much out there that you have

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that you have not heard. You just need to. Like

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>al he goes all over these places and just gathers records,

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>gathers records. We come back and we listen to him,

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like we can make beats from them more.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I could just put them in my eye tunes and

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>just listen all day long, bump them in the car.

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>The name mister Wonderful, explain that. You know, mister Wonderful

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is just something my mother used to call me. It's

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of tongue in cheek, you know. She used to

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're like kind of like, you know, a mess up,

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>or you do terrible things, or you act up all

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the time, mister wonderful over here. You know exactly what

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>it's name as well. But you know he was also

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>like a real jerk, so that's why it kind of

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>played fun. You know, I'm not really a jerk, but

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I could be. Met I played one on TV. Yeah,

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>now let me ask you this. I was just talking

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>about um, you know, just you trying to experiment with

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>different things. Didn't make you nervous that your fans would

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>be like, what the hell is he doing? Of course

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to. I mean, if they're real fans,

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna understand the growth and everything that needs to

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you know. Me, Me musically, I came into the into

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the music thing late, you know, so right now I'm

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>really just getting my I'm getting my feet under me. Um.

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>It's only been five or six years since I've been rapping,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>so I'm just really getting into music as a whole

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and understanding it more and being able to use different

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>vocals and stuff like that. Because I was definitely scared

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>or self conscious about singing. But then I was like,

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, all these other dudes can't sing for

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>they stink. And I definitely could throw some effects that

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>make me sound like Stevie ray Vaughan or something. I

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>couldn't figure it out, like good thing, it's like Jim

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Morrison or something. It's like some seventies some vibe chick

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>at you and your feelings on that it wasn't true.

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's true. Yeah, all that heartbreak like you bought

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a crib? Oh yeah, come on, how much the house.

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>That's not that much nineteen hundred a month. Well, yeah,

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>it has a lot to do with that. But it's

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like a lot of relationships that go

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>wrong in general. You know, it's usually that's how it goes.

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>That's actually the first time I've ever heard a chance

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to wrap a rap. He rapped and I told him.

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I told that last my mind, Like I never heard

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a verse from you, and but I liked. But I

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>saw you guys came my Southwest together. Yeah, we did that. Well,

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I've seen Charlotta Magne over there. He was hosting U.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>The Woodis did a good job over there with Nessa.

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>And now I have some questions for you. If you

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>had to pick between two different things, some of these

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>might be hard because Alchemist is right here, Okay, all right,

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Alchemists or Mark Ranson. I mean you know I have

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to go without Okay, after Queen's bya grew up on mob.

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>That's that's just what it is. Bay, who Bay for?

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>What are we referring to? What? Don't you worry about it?

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:48.599
<v Speaker 1>This is your first instinct? Nah? Nah, I guess Bay

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>all right? Coachella or south By Southwest Coachella or South

0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>by Southwest, Um, south By coach Coachell is amazing as well.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing Coachella this year, by the way, UM, it's

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.239
<v Speaker 1>amazing as well. But south By you get this concentration

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>of everybody down there. It's just I feel's a good

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling down there, moving from place to place. Everyone's running

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to go see this person. Oh, I gotta leave it

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the last song. I gotta go run here and catch

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>this person. It's just a cool feeling. It's like like

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a it's a conference. I don't know what I mean.

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>In the food. The food, you gotta keep it there.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's a good time. It was snowing up

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>here and it was cold, so we were down there

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.559

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.199
<v Speaker 1>the only one you hesitated on with Hubby or Bay Well, yeah,

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. You wrapped a lot about drugs on

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the album. I didn't know if you're really in the drugs.

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>There was just rap. I don't know, No, I'm I'm

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely later on in my life. I started, I've

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>used shrooms, you know, like I actually the first one

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of the first times I took shrooms is in Africa

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and we went in South Africa and I took these.

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>This dude had these, um, these concentrated psilocybin drops, which

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>is just pure extract. So I took one. We all

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>wild out, went to Noble. I don't think for eight hours,

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>just just the precursors of it. No bugging out, just laughing,

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>uncontrolled eight hours. Yeah, so at least five in South

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Africa and Noble. It was crazy. Wow, the faces in there,

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>it was just That's all I remember is these crazy faces. Man.

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 1>That with most New York rappers. If if you look

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>like you say mob Deep, they're known as a New

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>York rapper, but you're not. You're just action bronzes. Does

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that bother you at all that people don't associate you

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>necessarily from New York. Um? No, I mean nah, I

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>just think they're uneducated, you know. Honestly, Um, you probably

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>got more them on your passport than I mean. I

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>had to get a new passport. I had to add

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty extra pages. Also, straight up, Um, you know, I'm

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:13.479
<v Speaker 1>a Queen's native thirty. There's no other place I'm from,

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's no other place that explains me. It's

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>just straight queens. If you don't understand, where where could

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I be from? If you hear me talk, you know,

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not from Indiana, you know what. I might look it,

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not who It's some other artist that hit

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.319
<v Speaker 1>you up, like on the regular on your phone asking

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you to you know, just just say whatever. Vince Staples

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>hits me up constantly. We always talk to each other.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah, Ray, I mean raised the man he's He's

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>always showed love since the beginning. Um yeah, I talked

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to Ray a lot. I talked to Prodigy. Um that's

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>really it. You know, like a lot of younger dudes

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that are not really like that. Popp and I just

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I keep in contact with it. What a select few,

0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>not too many. I don't like to be fake with people,

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? But what do we have to

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about other than you know, rap music or something

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>like that. You know right now, Alchemist, you was one

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of the architects of that ninety sound. What makes you

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>gravitate towards Bronson? I mean, you know, first when we

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>met it was like, first just music. I dug his stuff,

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and then we kind of clicked because you know, when

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you make music, you end up in my travels, just

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>like you make the best music with the people you're cool.

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 1>So we just kind of clipped, like I liked. I

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>don't remember what it was when we first met. I

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>think he let me like, I've chasting him, hooked me

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>up with some weed, and he just gave me an

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 1>ounce and was like take that. I think it was

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that it was something like that. I mean, you know,

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>because he's like one of the people I grew up.

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, not to say he's an old man, but

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.679
<v Speaker 1>you know he's not now, but you know that that

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>was first, you know, it was the music. Then we

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>linked and I was like this kids, you know what

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is somebody I could be, you know,

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>friends with him. We kind of linked like that, and

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>through time him coming out to LA, were working and

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>we just built a relationship where it was like that's

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>how we broke the ice to make more than just

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a joint here there. And I know I know what

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>he's about now, and I know how to fit the

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>right beats. So when we get up it's like a

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>guarantee we're gonna make something anytime. Well, I take rap

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>literally mass it's a few things off the album. I

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.839
<v Speaker 1>need to know. Can you really speak six languages and

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>three voices? I can speak two languages and two and

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a half voices, but I just speak English and Spanish

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>and I understand a little bit of Albanian, but I

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.199
<v Speaker 1>don't speak it fluently, which I'm embarrassed about not. I'm

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be honest, be honest. Have you ever really been

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in first class with a heart because I thought one

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>million percent, like coming back from Texas, I had a

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>heart on and I was sitting random Or are you

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>thinking a lot of times when you fly? I don't

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 1>know something about had on coming back from Austin. Yeah,

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>it's a separation, fam You don't need to know that

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know daydreaming or is it just a random

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the pressure of something that only morning wards

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>on first class exactly? Just you know, damn, I'm up here,

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I got all this room, might as well get comfortable.

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 1>But if you guys both we wouldn't know, we wouldn't

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be convers You wouldn't know about that. And you also

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>said overseas you probably got mad kids you don't even

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 1>know about. That could be a possibility. You gotta start

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>winning condoms overseas. Listen. I never rappers think when they're

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>overseas it doesn't count. They wear different outfits straight up.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I know. I know dudes that only wear certain tight

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>shirts and they will not wear that. In New York

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>they paid homage to Lost Boys too. You said you'd

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>resurrect Freaky Tie to do. I have to man that

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I grew up on that the LB family. You know, Um,

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>he's just one of the best. You know, he's like,

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of like Megos are now he was he

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 1>started that crazy ad stuff in the back. You know,

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like this is your debut album? Though

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it is my debut album because I put a lot

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>more work into this than I did a lot of

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>other projects, like the Blue Chips stuff. That's really like

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>just having fun and going in. It's not really like

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>taking time to listen to the EQ of the drum

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 1>or the EQ of the base. On this project, I

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>really really dug in and like was in the studio

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>for of everything being done. Yes and no, yes, because

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you know you want to make you want to show

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, you're on that level of artists where

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>people dying to just buy your music. I've given a

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff out for free, and I've made a

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of money on the road, So in that sense,

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. But now I'm not dealing with an

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>independent situation. I'm dealing with people that are looking at

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>me like, oh, they're only gonna, you know, do better

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>for you when you're showing that you're moving for them.

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 1>So me making numbers happen, It's gonna be a lot

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>more helpful for myself in my situation with the label,

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and they're gonna want to push me more and do

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>more things possibly, you know what I mean. Did you

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>think about things like what is my first single gonna be?

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it's a radio friendly song? Things that you never

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>thought about before the rappers. Rappers think that every new

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>song is their single. You know, the newest song that

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>they just made is the single I thought mad songs

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>on my single. I don't know what a single is,

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>but baby Blue, the new one, is definitely my best shot. Right.

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I like that, and I think crazy. I hear that

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>on the radio. It's on the radio a lot, but

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I would you know it? I don't know, I can't

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>call it baby Blue is more of a musical Yeah,

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>it's more of a musical piece. The other one is

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>more of a it's like a street single. But that's

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>good because then that keeps you, you know, it keeps

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>me on both sides your core fan base without the

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>one that's a little different for you. Listen. Yeah, I

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know how these people think. Honestly, I just don't

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>get it sometimes. But um, what are there like for

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you in a meeting when you have to sit down

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and like go over? I can't. Yeah, it's so crazy,

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's ridiculous the breakdowns. I'm just sitting there like

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>this because you know, I don't really like I don't

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>like doing those types of things. But you have to.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>You have to be on top of your business and

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 1>know exactly. You gotta know who your marketing persons. You

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta know who's doing this. You gotta know who's doing that.

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 1>You gotta know who's doing this. You gotta have everybody

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>under control, and you gotta show face and be like, listen,

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know you guys are ready to work this and

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>just talk to people and build relationships with people. And

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've done that I feel like I

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of the people that are working on

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>this project down from the lowest to the highest. And

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty much the way it is. Oh, I have

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a TV show for sure. We have the web series

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:03.679
