Speaker 2: primeraque is And that was because of the you know,
Speaker 2: opinions that we got when we went over there. Miami Canto, Miami,

Speaker 2: Mafield and Persona Begissima. He's supernalided. I love Mafield. He's
Speaker 2: just a great person in general. Like, even if I
Speaker 2: went over there and just sat in his studio, I
Speaker 2: still would enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Now he's super dope, and I already know that whatever
Speaker 3: you and him together, I already know it's going to
Speaker 3: be straight up five.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you so much. I appreciate that. And
Speaker 2: also you saying that he's super talented. I literally step
Speaker 2: in the studio and probably like three minutes in he
Speaker 2: was already working on the beach and he sounds so
Speaker 2: fire like. It was so crazy to me. This man
Speaker 2: probably made the bee in five minutes. So it was
Speaker 2: really a good experience.
Speaker 1: Now you must have been blown away.
Speaker 2: I was also three minutes already.
Speaker 1: You know, people be like, oh, give me a couple of.
Speaker 2: Weeks own it. Yeah. And also the fact that I
Speaker 2: seen Matfiew's career before I was even in this country,
Speaker 2: you know, and never though I was gonna end up
Speaker 2: working with him, and then look at that. That is good.
Speaker 2: That that was just amazing. Just that was amazing.
Speaker 3: Who else's career did you follow, like from the start,
Speaker 3: like who did you admire? Like you were like, Yo,
Speaker 3: this person is dope. That person is dope. That you're like, oh, I.
Speaker 2: I feel like whenever that question comes in an interview,
Speaker 2: it could be any could.
Speaker 1: Be producer, it could be a designer, could be anything.
Speaker 2: Yo, Ken Nat. Not because I went and and look
Speaker 2: for him or google him Nat. I've been listening and
Speaker 2: I've been as seeing his career, how he grow his career,
Speaker 2: and that's anyone should admire that. It's just there insane
Speaker 2: amount of work and effort that he put into it
Speaker 2: and be standing where he at right now.
Speaker 1: He's a megastar. I respect Hi.
Speaker 3: When people be like biggest Dominican star, I always got
Speaker 3: to be like, I gotta give it to an alphab I.
Speaker 2: Feel like it's in well they like that plastics. Yes,
Speaker 2: it was different times, and now he's just reaching into
Speaker 2: places that we never thought that we was going to
Speaker 2: be able to reach, especially with that genre.
Speaker 3: The artist that he works with, the stages he touches,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, The money he has and.
Speaker 2: The money he invested. It's not like someone came in
Speaker 2: to him before and gave him the money. I feel
Speaker 2: like he was investing all his own and sometimes that's
Speaker 2: hard for the artists because they're not willing to give
Speaker 2: up what they're gaining to be able to make something better.
Speaker 2: But he showed other artists over there, Yes, you should
Speaker 2: do this because it's going to be to build your
Speaker 2: career and put you in a better position. So he
Speaker 2: showed them to not be scared at that.
Speaker 3: How do you feel like when people feel like Alava
Speaker 3: has to work with other Dominican artists, like if it's mandatory,
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: That's crazy that you just said that. Who's tamentode? So okay?
Speaker 2: And then yeah, needs to get hero Is implemented Tennis
Speaker 2: and Dido brisona parte artista, that he will not work
Speaker 2: with you unless he see that you put it in
Speaker 2: a crazy amount of work in like he has. He
Speaker 2: has to see you hustling. It don't matter if you
Speaker 2: only have two thousand followers. If you're doing the job,
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna work with you. That's how I feel
Speaker 2: about him, But I don't know. You never know, and
Speaker 2: I feel like but he's not forced.
Speaker 1: No, you have to give him an option.
Speaker 3: He has to feel the connection and the creativity and
Speaker 3: it's gotta just be organic. But I feel like he
Speaker 3: gets a lot of pressure like Yo, and he does.
Speaker 2: That's probably because the way that he made it out
Speaker 2: of there, you know, and they look at him as
Speaker 2: the biggest over there, so they feel like he should
Speaker 2: be entitled to actually work with the other with the
Speaker 2: younger generation. But probably even the music that they're making
Speaker 2: is not the same, you know. He probably waiting for
Speaker 2: them to grow a little bit more out of that
Speaker 2: and move into sounds that probably everybody can understand. Because
Speaker 2: that's another thing. Its Dominicans with the dembo that we're
Speaker 2: doing right now. I love it. It makes you want
Speaker 2: to dance. But a lot of them, you know that
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be understood by other Hispanics or Latinos,
Speaker 2: you know, exactly, like and with.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a niche.
Speaker 3: You know, in some it is gonna stay in d
Speaker 3: R and some of it is gonna go global. Yes,
Speaker 3: but I understand what you're trying to say. It's like
Speaker 3: he's global right now. It's like Alpha. It's just he's
Speaker 3: working with all these top artists. So it's just I
Speaker 3: see what you're saying as far as like you know
Speaker 3: these artists. You might have a one off and then
Speaker 3: you disappear.
Speaker 2: So but it's all okay, you're getting a tranquil handle.
Speaker 3: Then it's kind of like a form of abuse.
Speaker 2: It's like you got to a point where he said,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna give my hand out to any new
Speaker 2: artists at this point because you're saying that I do
Speaker 2: this and I do that. Then you complain, I I
Speaker 2: don't mean a per It is no my whole aunt
Speaker 2: so and looks.
Speaker 1: To grass good for him?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love him and I respect him so much
Speaker 3: and I admire like what he's been able to do.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know he's.
Speaker 2: I grew up listening to all so did I?
Speaker 3: I listened to him now, yes.
Speaker 2: I still listen to him. I still listen to a
Speaker 2: lot of still listen to a lot of them.
Speaker 1: Who do you listen to? Talk to me? Who's your
Speaker 1: mom's artists that you also know?
Speaker 2: My mom start.
Speaker 1: Through and through?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Hello, you know you don't know, yes said.
Speaker 1: Or is your mom?
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that I'm a fan, but
Speaker 2: if you put any Romeo song, I'm gonna know it
Speaker 2: probably from I'm pretty sure until the end. Give any
Speaker 2: if even if I ever didn't like one of the
Speaker 2: songs because they fired, well, it's just that I like,
Speaker 2: probably don't put it on my YouTube.
Speaker 1: Fan and I have songs that I'm like, why did
Speaker 1: he do this song?
Speaker 2: But you still know them because you hear them so
Speaker 2: much everywhere. Everybody loves him so much that you know.
Speaker 3: When he did that, Remember when he did like Nicki Minaj,
Speaker 3: he did Drake, he did Little Wayne, and I was
Speaker 3: so thrown off. I was like, what am I listening?
Speaker 2: Yes, I know, but you know what? But then I
Speaker 2: loywhere I was in dr Actually I was in school
Speaker 2: still and he I think he made that with Drake
Speaker 2: and we was like, oh my god, Drake say a
Speaker 2: word in Spanish. We were all so surprised and hype
Speaker 2: about that. And that's also cool, like he's a good
Speaker 2: representation of us, you know.
Speaker 3: And the way he bridged, you know, like English and Spanish.
Speaker 3: He's another man, a star, Like I give it, he's
Speaker 3: out of.
Speaker 2: This He's out of this planet at this point, like Romeo,
Speaker 2: he got he's been doing this for way too long too.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 2: Know It'sedro.
Speaker 3: What about everybody new, Like everybody that's in the scene
Speaker 3: now in Dominican Republic, have you thought about like.
Speaker 2: One Menasi, he's not doing the mob, but he's a
Speaker 2: trap trap romanticomezo.
Speaker 3: So that's good, you know, that's good to know because
Speaker 3: I have the rise over there, like who's new? You know,
Speaker 3: we see who's online and who's j one over there.
Speaker 3: Everybody we all know who they are. But some of
Speaker 3: the people that you mentioned, I don't necessarily know their music.
Speaker 2: Well I try.
Speaker 1: Thanks for putting me on no, of course, girl, I.
Speaker 2: Sent them to you right now page to be bumping
Speaker 2: on the way to your house. But I also feel
Speaker 2: like being here, there's a lot of Dominicans that come
Speaker 2: from over there, and they lose their touch, like they
Speaker 2: lose their that well, a lot of things that make
Speaker 2: you Dominican, you know, like we're always going to be
Speaker 2: my blood. So I try to stay on top of
Speaker 2: everything that is going on over there. I watch a
Speaker 2: lot of interviews, I listen to the radio over there.
Speaker 2: I any new artists that comes out, I go and
Speaker 2: check it out. I go and see if I like it,
Speaker 2: because you know, I like I like my country. I
Speaker 2: love my country. So I try to stay with the
Speaker 2: country inside my heart all the time and in me,
Speaker 2: you know, so I keep it like that.
Speaker 1: I didn't lose touch. I just wasn't born, I know.
Speaker 2: But this is a thing, you know, don't scare me.
Speaker 3: I mean lose touch, because I was like, I don't
Speaker 3: know these.
Speaker 2: Mean likes with that touch, but not me. Hey, we
Speaker 2: didn't lose No Dominicans the no no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: masimno and Macomo. You know your like, yeah, center, look

Speaker 2: are there, Yeah, we was actually there. I thought it
Speaker 2: was Ai, but it was a I rummy, Uh yes,
Speaker 2: which helped me. You know. He's also my producer how
Speaker 2: do they call it artists development too?
Speaker 3: Okay, and he's doing a great job because one thing
Speaker 3: I was saying on my way here, that man is
Speaker 3: a genie. I said, she's already there, like it's already
Speaker 3: an artist. Like the way you look, the way you move,
Speaker 3: the way it's like, Oh, I.
Speaker 2: Made my clothes that day. Is that what you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Painted my my shirt design? Yeah, that's probably I should
Speaker 2: have bot paint for for the clothes, but I did
Speaker 2: it with normal pain. Hopefully. I haven't even washed that shirt.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna put it on some You gotta
Speaker 2: frame it. I'm scared.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep it up because you know, twenty years
Speaker 1: down the line, we'll talk about that shirt. I will,
Speaker 1: but Paka.
Speaker 2: I feel like the process of creating it also was
Speaker 2: something really like new to me. We was recording that
Speaker 2: on Empire Studios, so which is a total different vibe.
Speaker 2: You know, then going to other studios and working with
Speaker 2: Rami and twelve hundred is just amazing. And Ramy is genius,
Speaker 2: like he came up with that. He's like, yeah, we
Speaker 2: can do this over here, but we're gonna put a AI,
Speaker 2: We're gonna put you in a whole bunch of different places.
Speaker 2: They look like nice places. I thought that he was
Speaker 2: gonna put me like on normal places. But he came
Speaker 2: up with this floating thing, the floating city, an island,
Speaker 2: you know, and I like what he did. He also
Speaker 2: produced the whole song too. He came up with the bee.
Speaker 2: He helps me sometimes, you know, like he throws little
Speaker 2: ideas in there. So that's what I was saying. The
Speaker 2: process of creating it, it was. It was amazing. I
Speaker 2: truly enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: It was dope. And you know, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: When I look at visuals, I look for symbolisms, and
Speaker 3: I saw the mushrooms and I said, oh, maybe she
Speaker 3: don't smoke, Maybe she's just a shroom.
Speaker 2: No, actually, I want to try them. I want to
Speaker 2: try them. That's different.
Speaker 3: Yes, No, I look for symbolisms everywhere.
Speaker 2: I said, have you done that? Never? God, damn, I
Speaker 2: don't know. It was gonna tell me you a whole sper.
Speaker 3: I'm so afraid of anything like edible or like, I
Speaker 3: just don't know if I'm going to go on a
Speaker 3: bad trait, you never come back.
Speaker 2: Weird.
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, you know, I know what's going to happen. Eventually,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna come back, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't try.
Speaker 2: You don't know with shrooms, you know what. I heard that,
Speaker 2: or at least every single person that I know that
Speaker 2: have done it, they always tell me that you if
Speaker 2: you battling with something, or if you're struggling with something,
Speaker 2: if you have something suppress in your mind and you
Speaker 2: don't even know you have to you gotta battle that
Speaker 2: first before you even enjoy the height of the shrooms.
Speaker 2: And that's why I want to take them, because I
Speaker 2: want to see what is it that I gotta change,
Speaker 2: like I want to. If I got to solve something
Speaker 2: and I gotta sol them shrooms, then let's go. Where's
Speaker 2: the shrooms at? I feel like I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit scared too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. If it's going to be a
Speaker 1: bad trip and I'm not going to come back.
Speaker 2: If you see like little things running on the floor
Speaker 2: and then you're just stripping on your car, your couch
Speaker 2: is eating you alive, I ain't.
Speaker 3: Trying to That's the reason why I don't want no shrooms.
Speaker 2: I don't want that experience. I still got to build
Speaker 2: up that courage. But once I have it, I'm calling you,
Speaker 2: you gotta take them now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta be like, pull up, honey, I got
Speaker 3: the shrooms. Oh yeah, and I trust the person I
Speaker 3: bought them with, okay from.
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, that's for sure. That even if I'm
Speaker 2: going to smoke, like I go to trust the places
Speaker 2: and go to a dispensary or go to someone that
Speaker 2: you know that they probably grow it.
Speaker 1: At home, something that's safe.
Speaker 2: These times are getting trying to we want to live
Speaker 2: right mm hmm. I'd rather not smoke. If I'm not
Speaker 2: going to smoke anything good sing.
Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about fashion. When did your love for
Speaker 1: fashion start?
Speaker 2: Since I was a child. I feel like, especially as Dominicans,
Speaker 2: we always try to You see people on the black,
Speaker 2: they might not have money, but they still have that
Speaker 2: feet on, you know, putting it together with the other.
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't.
Speaker 2: But you know what I mean that I don't see
Speaker 2: it fresh, always have it, don't say the chick. I
Speaker 2: like to stay fresh or play with the clothes, not
Speaker 2: simply stay fresh because I'm not like a Gucci Louis
Speaker 2: with person.
Speaker 1: So listen that money comes later. Okay, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But even if I have it, I don't know what.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can I say, I don't know
Speaker 2: where I'm gonna be.
Speaker 1: You know, you had to talk Gucci talk about that
Speaker 1: was the thing.
Speaker 2: I don't myself doing that. No, Like I feel like
Speaker 2: I could go to a thrift store last it's the
Speaker 2: best and grab like random things. I like to play
Speaker 2: with the clothes. I feel like that's what happens. Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't, it don't matter. It don't matter to me
Speaker 2: what it is. Maybe if I'm buying Gucci later or
Speaker 2: Louis V, I'll probably throw it all together, like make
Speaker 2: a mix, you know.
Speaker 1: But never do you judge yourself now or no, I
Speaker 1: address myself now.
Speaker 2: I used to have a stylist, Mila shout out to
Speaker 2: you checks and balances. She's amazing, But for now I
Speaker 2: think she's a little bit retired working from working with Artissa,
Speaker 2: so I let her be. But Mela, whenever you're ready,
Speaker 2: let me know. For now, I'm dressing myself.
Speaker 3: You're good, you so much because you know what's crazy

Speaker 2: That's something, that's something. Yeah, thank you so much. I
Speaker 2: this one. I did it myself, which mean you did this.

Speaker 2: the shower every day like you can wear your hair.
Speaker 2: So I guess that wedding they went a little bit
Speaker 2: down to yellow. But I do. I do everything and
