But let's talk about the music first. Your 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.919 new album, Dope don't sell itself. What's the inspiration by 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:00.639 that title? 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.520 If you if you substitute dope for you know, for ideas, 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.519 it's just basically about. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.840 You know what, what keeps the world going around? 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:09.079 Man? 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.680 You got something that people may need to want, you 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.639 need to you know, you have to get out there. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.519 And sell it. Knocked on your door exactly. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.240 Man, you got a good idea, you're sending it at 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.760 home on the sofa and you're not you know, you're 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.520 not putting it out there. You're not planting the seas, 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.239 you're not building a relationship. So that's the same thing. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:26.880 You know, I come from the trap, I come from 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.440 the hustle. So so that's why it got such a 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.320 little edge to it because where I come from. You know, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.800 Dope didn't sell itself, so you literally had to be 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.320 you know, and it was everybody doing the same thing too. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.560 So what sets you apart. What makes you different? What 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.320 makes whatever you have unique? You know what I mean 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.000 is it personality is a product. You know, it's one 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.040 of those projects and it's it has some great, great 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.240 features and great production. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.000 You know what I'm saying. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:56.080 I got money Bag, you know, beat Keen, Little Baby, my. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:57.240 Hearty, Sleepy Rolls. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.720 I got Dirt, I got you know, young Boy, I 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:04.120 got Swede, le Stove God, I got a symbol. So 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.440 it's well rounded, it's very concise, and this adhd Approved 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.240 is only twelve songs. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.680 When you were coming up with the people you wanted 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.279 to collaborate with, obviously baby hot, but like when I 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.360 saw a symbol in there, I'm like, this dude is hot, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.839 and if you don't know him and like get familiar with, 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.800 like this dude can really spit Oakland for Oaklan. Yeah yeah, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.920 Wild just had the feast that was ridiculous. So what 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.839 was that process? Like you said, I got some of 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.159 the established artists, but I want to introduce the world 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.599 to some some new heat. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:36.200 What was that problem? 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.760 Well, you know, like this is is like it's not 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.360 my last time doing trap music, but putting it out 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.679 in one in one one place. You know what I'm saying, 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.880 and so it was important that I tapped in with 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.440 the upcoming artists. But like most of these artists, they 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.080 already cemented themselves in the game as far as like 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.559 Little Baby, Righty, Rich money Bag. You can see them having, 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.960 you know, longevity in the game. And then you got 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.920 Stove God and you got sympol where you can see 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.880 this upcoming and got the skill set to maintain a 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:07.040 good career too. And for me, I'm somebody that collaborate 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.680 with everybody. This is an album where it's just all 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.920 fresh collaborations. I haven't done with anybody. So it gives 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.160 you that. It gives you that, you know, voices there, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.800 the sounds obviously, but they instruments, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.480 So you got these different instruments that hadn't been together 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:22.520 before on one track. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.080 That's what's going on on this album. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.120 Yeah, so you said this is your last trap album, 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.880 So where we're going to musically from here? 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.680 Like we're going, well, no, it's just nah. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.120 I mean I think just you know, having a heavily 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.320 eight aweight driven project, you know, I'm still gonna have that, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.520 but I just like to express myself in different ways. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.839 You know, I got to college Growth two coming shortly 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.119 after this drop, and when I do stuff with Wayne, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.280 it's just, oh, that's my dog. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.000 It's always you know, it's always. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.520 Trying to set the bar high and you know, go 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.440 to the next level and be lyrically competent and competitive 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.200 and just you know, all of those things. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.560 So I'm just looking forward to to what is your 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.840 as in store for myself. So let's get into this conversation. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.119 A lot of artists always can play on Twitter about 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:06.560 not getting paid royalties. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.839 Masters. I understand you own your masses a couple of years. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.840 Ago, right, Yeah, renegotiated. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.760 What was the process of when you renegotiate your contract that, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.120 you know, getting your masses? 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.360 Well, when I first signed with Depth Jam, I had 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.479 a lot of leverage when I got my solo individual deal, 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.360 and a lot of artists were signing three sixty deals, 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.200 which I didn't have to do, and a lot of 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.160 other artists were signing five, six, seven album deals. My 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.120 first deal was only four albums, so I literally been 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.120 out of my contract and I kind of took the 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.560 lebron approach or an athlete approach, right, and yeah, I 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.800 could control my own narrative. So I just want to 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.240 sign for one year, but one year is really like 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.600 one album, you know, or something like that. And I 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.280 want these things, you know, because I can still be 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.120 I am still relevant and I can be an independent superstar. 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.680 I built a lot of relationships. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.320 But you know, it was very amicable, you know what 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.640 I mean, depth gen You know, it's just like when 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.839 you work for a come, you do stuff, you pay bills, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.400 you got a good relationship, they listen, you know, it's 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.400 it's not that's what it's about it. 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.400 So you get lawyers for so you can negotiate certain 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.320 things like that. So it wasn't that hard when you 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.000 said you had more leverage. What made you have more 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.920 leverage than a regular artist when you negotiated your first contract? 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.640 Because once I started taking my solo, when I started 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.000 taking my individual meetings to get a record deal, my 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.640 thing was to really see what kind of I was 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.200 really trying to see what type of employees they had 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.440 that could tap into the international market. I was already 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.840 a domestic superstar before I signed my deal with DEPV JAM. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.920 I was doing shows, I mean from Merriworth, from. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.200 Adahola to South Dakota. I've been to all of these places. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.120 I'm not just capping, So I was already like becoming 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.000 a household name. So I needed somebody that can really 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.840 make me an international you know what I'm saying, superstar 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.240 when I get off you know, Emirates or whatever, they 0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:58.840 know who I am. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.480 You know, you have to deal with Depth Jam right 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.920 on your masters after you renegatiated. But your own record 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.600 label is with Atlantic. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.640 Yeah, that's another little hustle I got. 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.320 Yeah, So what what made you say? 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.080 I I already have a foundation here at Depth Jam, 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.880 but let me build my own independent situation here of Atlantic. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:16.960 What was that process like for you? 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.240 Well, I'm sure it's business man. You know. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.240 I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.240 And also I always wanted to work with Atlanta. They 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.720 have people that are known for a very long time. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.160 I have a very high respect for and so when 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.439 approaching this situation where I want to just you know, 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.880 put somebody else on, I feel like that to that 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.800 to complete my legs, I need someone else with my 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.880 DNA to be very successful. So that's that's what the 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.760 angle was. You know, we got some really really good 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.880 people over there at Atlanta and that's why I wanted 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.920 to kind of hang out at with that, with that situation. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.480 So we interviewed your partner, Snoop.
