Speaker 4: Yeah.

71
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: But to see the thing that I learned from you know,

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: I was looking at getting something in Ghana and just

73
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: learning the property.

74
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 6: And how it works.

75
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: So if you're not if you don't have citizenship over there.

76
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: You can't pass it down. But it's yours. You own it.

77
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: It's like a ninety nine years some ship they put

78
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: you on. But you have to get dual citizenship to

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: be able to actually pass it, to give it to

80
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: your family and all of that.

81
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: So I got the run down of it. You're working

82
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: on trying to get it too. Nice love, I love that.

83
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: It's uh, Charlemagne put me onto it.

84
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: It's a dude that they building.

85
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: Like outside of a crowd, which is the main city.

86
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Probably outside they don't like this beach property on the

87
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: beach front the town like no, no, no, it's like

88
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: cabanas in the front. So then they're gonna have like

89
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: shopping and all that in the middle and then houses.

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 4: In the back.

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, got it on that already. But then in

92
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: the main city of a crowd, the price is the

93
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: only good part is that you own it. But the

94
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: prices are kind of similar in regards to America America,

95
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: Because they're building the Saint just as fast.

97
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's.

98
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: Real similar, you know, as far as like they showed me,

99
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: he showed me three condominiums. Now, I take that back,

100
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: because what it will cost you for that presidential wanted

101
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: they building, They only wanted seven hundred and fifty thousand

102
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: four Yeah, but over here that'll cost you five six

103
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: million dollars.

104
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, but.

105
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 6: You know, for me, didn't make no resist to have

106
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 6: that because it's.

107
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: Like yeah, yeah, yeah, it would you want that if

108
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: you're spiritual, you don't want that all that energy and

109
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: either yeah yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah,

110
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: you don't want that and security it's a lot. So

111
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: you're smart, bro, Like if you want to retire and

112
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 4: then live.

113
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: There, yeah that's smart.

114
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 6: That's smart.

115
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

116
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: But the beach frontship made sense because it's commercial. Yeah,

117
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: it's commercial property, so yeah, yeah, it made a little

118
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: bit more sense. But as far as just the layer

119
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: of the land, like you wouldn't think that it was

120
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: that much going on. But the NFL just invested in

121
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: the NBA just invested in Ghana, Like it's a whole

122
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: bunch going on over there, like that nobody over here

123
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: would know about it, and they're welcoming.

124
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,320

220
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: that's the first that first step, first melody, the first melody.

221
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: It's always better than any melody after anything. It's because

222
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 2: you add to that, you get that first melody, and

223
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: then you add to all those harms.

224
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 8: Because you'll end up I just no matter of fact,

225
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 8: the song was just talking about because I got the

226
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 8: second verson open.

227
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: As soon as that the verse came in. I came in.

228
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 9: I'm like, ship like that came on it I don't remember,

229
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 9: and I'm like, and I tried to go back and

230
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 9: recreate it.

231
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, if I would.

232
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 8: Have been in the studio and I created that and

233
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 8: I was, it would have been super duper perfect.

234
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Because when you listen to music now, you gotta listen to.

235
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 8: Like, listen to this song, right, I'm gonna take this

236
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 8: ship works. He's going with the flow the melody is

237
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 8: with the flow. Even when it's the way he catched

238
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 8: the caters, it wouldn't have work with no other flow.

239
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: It's this specific flow, this flow.

240
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: And this was the first one, the first melody, the

241
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: first one, this first melody, like and then that.

242
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: That's the one that fits. You try to do anything

243
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: else on top of all this. This flows it comes

244
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: from that. Music is a vibration, bro. It's a beautiful thing,

245
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: you know. And once you realize it's deeper than just

246
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: the artist.

247
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 8: I realized, oh, everybody is important.

248
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: When it comes to composing the music.

249
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, the enginet too, the musicians, the art of the

250
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 8: person who made the beat, all that comes into one.

251
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 2: That's why if you see now artists.

252
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 8: Getting hooked up with producers and producers now understanding their value.

253
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: It's it's like the same thing as as a comedian, right,

254
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 4: you know, how you tell that joke for the first

255
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: time and it worked crazy, right, and then you got

256
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 4: to say it again. Somebody like what you say, and

257
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: you gotta repeat it. It might not be the same feeling.

258
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: You're gonna try to deliver it the same way, but

259
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 4: there's nothing like that.

260
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 5: First I came up with that that's gonna work, then

261
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: deliver it. That first feeling is.

262
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 8: Efort, you know what I'm saying at that moment, and

263
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 8: you're giving the truth feeling the truth, you know what

264
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 8: I'm saying, and you okay, do you add to it?

265
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 8: And you're like, I'm gonna take pieces from this, and

266
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 8: then you end up being some ship.

267
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: That's why you got to ridly go for how you feel.

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 5: Man, you're a songwriter.

269
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: You go for how you feel, and you listen to

270
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: the beating the beat to tell you everything and tell

271
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: you what you want to know.

272
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: Everything you say and everything. It's like life too.

273
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: But I'm saying though, like how often you know, you

274
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: hear some people say, man, I know it was a

275

276
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: I hear people say that sometimes. But how many times

277
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,760

364
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: you know, as an actig mentally draining bro straining and

365
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: then even mentally like to be to do the same

366
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: line over and over and over all day it goes.

367

Speaker 2: Twelve six in the morning, twelve to six in.

371
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: The morning, twelve thirty am to six am.

372
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: Do you have to go to sit the next day?

373
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: And I I have to go to set nine am.

374
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sleep. So I'm all right, cool,

375
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta give him a hit.

376
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 5: I got six hours.

377
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: Niggas usually usually get six weeks to do what I'm

378
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 4: about to do. Nigga get six months to do what

379
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 4: I have to do. Six hours. I go in play

380
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: to again. This is divine, this is all God.

381
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Yo.

382
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 5: They played it be my man plays.

383
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: Love with him, and instinctively it was like that bad

384
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 4: I don't say too much that came out like boom.

385
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 5: I was like, yo, all right, cool, letbe. It was

386
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 5: the latest.

387
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: I don't know what's gonna happen to it, but they

388
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: send it to me the next day They're like, yo,

389
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: we gotta hit in my hand. I send it to Empire,

390
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 4: They're like, this is the single. So that's just to

391
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: give perspective that doing both is literally trying to be

392
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 4: a doctor and a lawyer at the same time. That's

393
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 4: why most people can't do it. Who can be adopting

394
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 4: and lawyer at the same time. You can't. It's not

395
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: It's impossible unless unless you have the right team, the

396
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 4: right this, the right everything has to work instinctively, so

397
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 4: and again with God. So like for me six hours,

398
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 4: I was able to make a record that most people

399
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: get six months to do. And it's just again a

400
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: testament to not being not having the wiggle room like

401
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: most people do. I have to I have to commit

402
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 4: every time. I can't miss you know what I mean,

403
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 4: because then it's like he ain't that nice anyway? I

404
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 4: already an actor, you know what I'm saying.

405
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 8: So I wear that it was a different persona you

406
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 8: you bro, ladies man, different characters.

407
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,119

00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,800

Speaker 3: they consume content over there is so much like you

458
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: don't even realize how much you've done until you go

459
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: to another part of the world and see how people

460
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: are consuming the work that you put in, Like because

461
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: they're showing me stuff that we did years ago, and

462
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, I don't even remember doing this, and

464
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 4: You know? I mean, it feels like that. And that's

465
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: why I always tell people, I say, yo, if you

466
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 4: have money in Africa, you get treated so much better

467
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 4: if you're a black man and a black woman from

468
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 4: your own people. Because you live better, you get appreciated,

469
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: you get told how amazing you are consistently, and people

470
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: there's no there's no jealousy. Everybody wants to win. Everybody

471
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 4: in just the culture booth. It's like, if you show love,

472
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: they show love. You know what I mean.

473
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 5: Here it's a little different.

685
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: dad is your robot. So my mom is from the village.

686
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 4: Dad is from the city. So my dad is like

687
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 4: one of the area boys, which means like he was

688
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 4: one of them dudes that was really like around fella.

689
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 4: So Fella is like the Michael Jackson of African Mute NEWSIC.

690
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: He's a heart and soul of afrobeat so my dad

691
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: was like one of the little you know runners for

692
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: him doing whatever whatever, So he was already part of

693
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: understanding the lifestyle.

694
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 5: Of being a rock star.

695
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: You know. My mom was in the village, so whenever

696
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: I went back, I was able to see like both worlds,

697
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: like being the fast life and then having a walk

698
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: two miles to get good water and then get the

699
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: walk two miles to get the water, then walk back

700
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: holding the water and if you drop it, you gotta

701
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: go back to get it. And then when you get

702
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 4: back to the to where you stand, you gotta wait

703
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 4: to boil the water to clean it. So there's a

704
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 4: hole before you get to drink water. And where my

705
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 4: mom was at it was four or five hours. So

706
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 4: a lesson like that at three, four, five, six, seven

707
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: years old, it shows you the quality of hard work,

708
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,920

Speaker 4: like you're hungry, so what you're gonna do to survive.

713
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,120

Speaker 4: So let me tell you bro back in twenty twelve,

824
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: So when wiz Kid first came to America, they had

825
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: found out about me musically because one of my songs

826
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 4: back then had crossed over back Home. And this is

827
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 4: before afrobeats and everything, before Instagram and all that. It

828
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 4: was just I don't know how they found it, but

829
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 4: when it got here, they were like, yo, bro, can

830
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 4: you open up for wiz you know, his the first

831
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 4: time in Americas. We're doing five hundred sedars, you know,

832
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 4: can you do it? And he was a part of

833
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 4: this is twenty twelve, Yeah, this is early. So this

834
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 4: is when to the point where I got off the

835
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: plane and Whiz is like, hey.

836
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 5: Bro, let me help you with your bags?

837
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 4: Man, Like it was news was really like, oh, like,

838
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 4: we have a mission, you know what I mean? And

839
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: I always love him for that because he knew he

840
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 4: was what he was going to be. So we're doing

841
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: five hundred scenas, I'm performing in front of this crowd

842
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 4: and we're just the conversation that we had was like, Yo,

843
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 4: in ten years, Bro, I want to be the best actor.

844
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 4: I just started acting then best actor, best artist, best

845
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 4: this is. He was like, Bro, I'm taking over the world. Bro,

846
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 4: that's that was his answer. So I saw the wave

847
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 4: in twenty twelve. Then after that I started just falling

848
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 4: back into man, let me just do R and B.

849
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 4: And that was when you when you know bro as

850
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 4: an artist and you're young, you're like, let me try

851
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 4: sounded like that person. Let me try sounded like that person.

852
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 4: And you those records are good because you can sing,

853
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 4: but it don't hit because it's not you. So it

854
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 4: took me five years to really find out who Roal

855
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 4: Timmy was. And remembering the conversation I had with Wiz

856
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 4: in twenty twelve and in twenty seventeen, that's when it

857
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 4: hit me.

858
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 5: Like, Bro, just be you.

859
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 4: You are the definition of African American. You genuinely are

860
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 4: so be the bread of R and B afrobeat all

861
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 4: in one. And that's when the hit records started happening.

862
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 4: So meeting him then and seeing like, oh Africa in

863
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 4: about eight years is gonna be crazy because after a while,

864
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 4: people were like, what is this noise.

865
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Ya.

866
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 4: I remember bringing love Rhythm to the radio station in

867
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen and then the program director was like, I

868
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 4: can't even get on the beat of this. What is

869
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 4: this rhythm?

870
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 5: I can't This is not good.

871
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 4: They don't even understand it. And this was before Wiz

872
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 4: and all of them had Wiz had the record with Drake,

873
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 4: and you know, so I comfortably can say I personally

874
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 4: brought afrobeats to America, like it's a fact, you know.

875
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: What I mean?

876
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 4: So, like I think it was one dance with Drake

877
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 4: and with one dance, one dancer, just afterwards it come

878
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 4: out and not saying it was because of me, no,

879
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: the timing with the sound, but the sound, thea the

880
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 4: music to all the program directors with love rhythm and

881
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 4: getting them used to you love me like JU drew

882
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 4: all that type of rhythm. And then when that started happening,

883
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, I like this. Then now's there's

884
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 4: a lane for us. And then of course Drake obviously

885
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 4: helped as well because having Wiz on it.

886
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 5: But then that happened.

887
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 4: Then in the middle of that, I dropped in my bed,

888
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 4: so it's like, oh, this is really good.

889
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 5: Could work.

890
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 4: Then the Divito and everybody else, you know, and it

891
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 4: was just like, so I can I can proudly say

892
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 4: that I did that. But it started with that conversation

893
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: in the hotel rooms, like, bro, let's just be true

894
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 4: to who we are. Bro, Like it's okay to be

895
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 4: African because again, growing up, the jokes was like, oh

896
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: y'all dirty, y'all, this, y'all that Jamaicans. And I think

897
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: it was I think being African is a new Jamaican

898
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 4: because howigs look like, oh, yeah, you're Jamaican, you know

899
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 4: what I mean? But yeah, bro, it was.

900
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 5: It was.

901
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 4: It was a tough it was a tough grind. But

902
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 4: when we found out who we truly were, now you

903
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 4: see what the world, you know.

904
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: Think it's crazy because it's artists that's like you as

905
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 3: as Americans, we get so clouded with this being the

906
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 3: biggest thing in the world, and you know what I mean.

907
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 3: But when I went to Ghana, it's artists that are

908
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 3: superstars over there. Black Jerife, O Motile, Black, all these dudes.

909
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 5: Is amazing.

910
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm talking about with stars over there, and it just

911
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 3: ain't translated over here yet. But the fact that the

912
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 3: people's ears over here open to the same. It's only

913
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 3: a matter of time before they get one. They catch

914
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: over here.

915
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 5: And it's out of here.

916
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 4: It's out of here, bro. So you know it's it's

917
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 4: divine timing, it's work, ethic, is the right Everything gotta

918
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 4: work at the right time for this thing to hit, bro,

919

00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 4: This Nigga didn't even have a real audition.

1265
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 11: Nigga didn't even have an audition slot shout it up

1266
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 11: and then I was stayed all day. And then like

1267
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 11: most of the people that they had the audition for

1268
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 11: the producers.

1269
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 4: But you know how like Nick, he showed up for

1270
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,640

1271
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: I got the audition. Understand audition, I got audition for me.

1272
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,760

00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 4: wanted to see you, he wrote.

1274
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 3: The ship that he did in North Carolina wasn't even

1275
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 3: a real audition. He was just doing that because he

1276
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 3: had a radio show that he.

1277
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 4: Was promoting it.

1278
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 3: He was just doing the mock, just something that just

1279
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 3: promote the show coming back. So I went down there

1280
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 3: because Saluted Dollary. Dollary worked with Nick at the time,

1281
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 3: and she was like, you know, just go and you know,

1282
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: do that audition. But the crazy part is I had

1283
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 3: already met him like two years probably doing his fresh

1284
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 3: Face as a comedy show. I went up to Gotham

1285
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 3: and did a comedy show and I was walking around

1286
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 3: in my creative process. I walk around talk to myself,

1287
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:08,760

1288
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 4: He stole me doing that.

1289
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 3: Outside, I go up killed. When I came down, he

1290
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 3: was like, man, you just made that up outside. I

1291
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:16,080

Speaker 4: I was like yeah.

1293
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 3: He was like, man, I'm around some of the best

1294
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 3: in the game. They can't do what you just did.

1295
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 4: Keep working.

1296
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 3: When I walked into that audition, he was like, I

1299
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,160

00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 4: And my man be that audition.

1301
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 3: He ended up getting on the show later, but his

1302
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 3: I didn't even get his vantage point until afterwards. He

1303
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 3: had went and didn't do well in the audition at all. Literally,

1304
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 3: that's what I said. As soon as I walked in

1305
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 3: the door, so he said from his vantage point, it

1306
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 3: was no laughter. As soon as he heard seeing me

1307
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 3: walk in and the door close, the room erupted would laughter.

1308

01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 4: I finally feel like I got the right team and

1479
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 4: shout out to my brother Punch, but it's you know,

1480
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,200

1495
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,320

01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 4: ourselves and me and Punch talk about all the time.

1497
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 4: You have to surround yourself with experts that are great

1498
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 4: at what they do and allow them to do what

1499
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 4: they do to maximize the ability away A're gonna go

1500
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 4: if I'm doing this, I want this first of all.

1501
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't trust your team, then you're taking

1502
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 4: away from what.

1503
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 5: You really gotta do.

1504
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 4: Then, so you put it's energy consuming, so you can't

1505
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 4: succeed if your team ain't right because you got to

1506
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 4: force to do everything. At one point, I was a

1507
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 4: booking agent.

1508
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 3: This is.

1509
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, And like, that's what I

1510
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 4: felt the most, questioning and I felt the most. I

1511
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 4: almost got depressed. I almost hated music. I almost hated

1512
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 4: entertainment because I had to wear so many hats. But

1513
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 4: it was like, hold on, let's put ourselves and let

1514
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 4: me put my people in position and trust them to

1515
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 4: do it. And then you start and the money come in,

1516
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 4: start seeing the roles, start seeing the music hitting everything

1517
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 4: in the tour and all this because it's just also

1518
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 4: surrendering to the process. What do you look for?

1519
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 6: What did you look for in those people?

1520
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 3: Band as do you wore those hats like you had

1521
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 3: that responsibility? It creates a level of understanding from each position.

1522
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 3: So what did you look for in those people? When

1523
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 3: you know put it in place, what was some of

1524
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 3: the qualities you look for?

1525
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 4: You gotta be a dog, You gotta be tenacious. You

1526
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 4: can't take no full answer, you know what I mean.

1527
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 5: You gotta look at me. And and if I'm up

1528
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 5: at four, you up at four, you know what I mean.

1529
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 4: So that that mindset, then you have to be able

1530
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 4: to really prove and show that you are really good

1531
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 4: at what you do. You have to breed results, you

1532
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Then also, I love it when

1533
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 4: someone isn't Yeah, really you got to bro so. And

1534
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 4: then also somebody who's not phased by fame, because if

1535
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,600
Speaker 4: you put somebody who's not around it around it and

1536
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 4: they start losing their mind, because the artists, they become

1537
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 4: the artist. I've seen that happened six times with people

1538
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 4: are working exactly they want to do all the other things.

1539
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 4: But then it's like when they know that this is

1540
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 4: a job, we got a mission, we got to point

1541
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 4: to prove, we gotta this and this.

1542
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 5: And that changes everything, you know what I'm saying.

1543
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 4: And also spiritually, they got to respect where I'm coming from.

1544
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 4: And then you know, I respect where they're coming from.

1545
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 4: And you know, and and don't put me in harms

1546
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 4: way and put them in harms way. Well, that fame

1547
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 4: is a drug.

1548
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 11: Like when you said, it's like it's a lot of

1549
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 11: people who like they all the way in it, but

1550
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 11: they will.

1551
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you thou cloud.

1552
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 2: Any attention and good attention anything is to me. All

1553
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 2: that is to me.

1554
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 3: Just makes people who don't know you act like they

1555
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 3: knowing you forever, and people who know you forever act

1556
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 3: like they don't know you at all.

1557
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 4: It's all famed. It's just people who.

1558
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,160
