- 0:45Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess they just got me Tink
- 0:47Speaker 1: one day and it's stuck. I said it on the
- 0:48Speaker 1: mic and I kind of like like like poor little Tink.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Take Yeah, I get that a lot time. No, it
- 0:54Speaker 1: has nothing to do with a comedian, nothing do with
- 0:57Speaker 1: a tinker bell. It's just it's my ain. Think now,
- 1:01Speaker 1: you from Chicago, why I know, drill music or rapping
- 1:04Speaker 1: the ball, killing people and every other song or what
- 1:06Speaker 1: game you rep. I just think it's more more to
- 1:09Speaker 1: talk about than that. Um coming out of Chicago. That's
- 1:13Speaker 1: all people from Chicago. No, So it's almost like I
- 1:18Speaker 1: had to separate myself in order to, you know, get
- 1:21Speaker 1: that recognition because for the most part, it's violence in
- 1:25Speaker 1: Chicago and growing up there, it is it is a
- 1:27Speaker 1: very tough city to come from. So it's like my
- 1:30Speaker 1: responsibility to like let kids know, like, that's not all
- 1:32Speaker 1: you gotta be about. UM. It's okay to be different,
- 1:36Speaker 1: you know, it's okay to have a message. So yeah,
- 1:39Speaker 1: that's just that was my way to just stand out
- 1:40Speaker 1: and make myself different from everybody else coming out of Chicago.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Did you feel like you had to do that, especially
- 1:46Speaker 1: being what you were surrounded with, Like somebody had to
- 1:49Speaker 1: tell the kids something different. You know. In my earlier
- 1:51Speaker 1: years of rapping, I was doing drill music like UM.
- 1:54Speaker 1: When I first started rapping Chief Keith, I had remixed
- 1:57Speaker 1: his three hundred and he had noticed it and he
- 2:00Speaker 1: retweeted it on his timeline. So that was like my
- 2:03Speaker 1: buzz at the moment was drill. But then the order
- 2:06Speaker 1: I got him, like, you know, I'm kind of tired
- 2:08Speaker 1: of just you know, blending in with everybody. I felt
- 2:10Speaker 1: like I was a follower and you don't want to
- 2:11Speaker 1: get shot and I don't want to get shot all
- 2:13Speaker 1: that because people will go there with you in Chicago.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So yeah, I had to grow up. You know. That's
- 2:20Speaker 1: that's growing up in you only twenty. Yeah, that's true.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'm an older twenty though. Like I'm I'm very much
- 2:27Speaker 1: sure for my age. I get that. You know, let's
- 2:29Speaker 1: talk about your old soul. Like when when the first
- 2:31Speaker 1: time I heard your music, I was told timer and
- 2:33Speaker 1: I was like, she might be nineteen, but she's fifty.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Like you have an old soul, like the stuff that
- 2:37Speaker 1: you rap about and talk about it, it seems like
- 2:39Speaker 1: you've almost been here before. Wow, I can understand that. Um.
- 2:43Speaker 1: When I was growing up, I listened to a lot
- 2:46Speaker 1: of the records my dad had in the basement. When
- 2:48Speaker 1: I first started singing, he would record me, so really
- 2:51Speaker 1: all I knew was what he listened to. And I
- 2:53Speaker 1: would like a classic artist older people like who this
- 2:57Speaker 1: is gonna make us feel old? Like who Man? I
- 2:59Speaker 1: listened like Joda see TLC. You know, Luther Van Draws,
- 3:07Speaker 1: Uh Jackson five, You know, just real old school music,
- 3:14Speaker 1: you know, the nineties. Yeah, there's also been a lot
- 3:17Speaker 1: of comparisons as you know, I'm sure you heard all
- 3:19Speaker 1: the time to Lauren Hill. You know. Is that something
- 3:22Speaker 1: that you embrace? Oh, I definitely embraced that. Um, if
- 3:26Speaker 1: that was anybody I would want to be compared to,
- 3:28Speaker 1: it would be Lauren Hill. And she was pretty young.
- 3:30Speaker 1: She was about your age when she was you know. Yeah.
- 3:33Speaker 1: And I think it comes a lot of times because
- 3:35Speaker 1: I singing our rap, you know, and also because I
- 3:38Speaker 1: got I have a message within my music and I'm
- 3:40Speaker 1: not just uh just here to be a gimmick, but
- 3:43Speaker 1: just uh saying what's popular or what's you know, what's
- 3:48Speaker 1: not like trying to be sexy n you know myself.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I think, uh, that's where so many females go wrong.
- 3:54Speaker 1: You know. They try to mimic what they see on
- 3:56Speaker 1: TV or what everybody else is doing instead of just
- 3:59Speaker 1: you know, being an individal. There's a lot of pressure though,
- 4:01Speaker 1: when they say, like you did the next Lauren Hill.
- 4:03Speaker 1: You think that creates like an expectation that you may
- 4:06Speaker 1: or may not live up to, like this, let me
- 4:07Speaker 1: be tanked. Yeah, I feel like that sometimes you know,
- 4:10Speaker 1: like when the block's kind of just throw it in
- 4:12Speaker 1: every every piece they write, it's always, you know, you
- 4:15Speaker 1: see the name. So sometimes I do feel like that, like, uh,
- 4:18Speaker 1: you know, just let me, let me get in and
- 4:21Speaker 1: we'll take it from there. But like I say, I don't,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I don't look down on it. Lauren Hills, she was
- 4:26Speaker 1: one of the greats. So it's it's a compliment. Now,
- 4:28Speaker 1: what did you study it as rapping? Because I like,
- 4:30Speaker 1: it's talking to Charlemagne and I haven't stole records in
- 4:33Speaker 1: a long time. I came from the mixtape days. Yeah,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and when tim Oland was here, I stole your records.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Why you got tim in trouble with that moving base? Well,
- 4:41Speaker 1: besides that, I haven't had a feeling like that in
- 4:45Speaker 1: a long time. So when you know, you talked about
- 4:47Speaker 1: some of the singers like rapping, who did you follow
- 4:49Speaker 1: as rappers? Because you the way you break words down
- 4:52Speaker 1: and go back and forth, it's something that we haven't
- 4:54Speaker 1: heard for a long time. I listened to a little
- 4:58Speaker 1: bit of everything, U. You know, I listened to Lauren,
- 5:01Speaker 1: I listened to Biggie I did when I was like
- 5:03Speaker 1: a kid. I listened to NICKI Minaj and um. I
- 5:07Speaker 1: listened to a bit of everything you know, and my
- 5:09Speaker 1: style kind of just it's just now molding into what
- 5:13Speaker 1: it is. I started, like I said, I started talking
- 5:16Speaker 1: about drill drill things, and now it's more so of
- 5:19Speaker 1: a message in my music. So it was something I
- 5:21Speaker 1: worked that, you know, I didn't. It didn't happen overnight.
- 5:25Speaker 1: My first rap was probably terrible. M Do you remember it? No,
- 5:29Speaker 1: and I don't want to remember. I'm sure it wasn't.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It wasn't nothing to talk of. Hell, a lot of
- 5:35Speaker 1: men have embraced you. Do you think it's harder for
- 5:37Speaker 1: women to do that? Do you feel like women aren't
- 5:39Speaker 1: reaching out like the men have been? For sure? Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 1: it's definitely like that. I think females we have, like
- 5:47Speaker 1: a lot of females have a mindset that, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 1: if if something is something is better than I can't
- 5:54Speaker 1: or I'm in competition or everything, I have to be
- 5:56Speaker 1: number one, you know. So it's harder for a female
- 5:59Speaker 1: to reach out and say you're good, because you know,
- 6:02Speaker 1: it's almost like a self esteem thing. You know, if
- 6:05Speaker 1: if you feel like somebody is a bit maybe a
- 6:07Speaker 1: bit better than you, you don't want to have as
- 6:10Speaker 1: coming from my spot, you think, man, but there's so
- 6:12Speaker 1: much room, Like, I don't even know why people think
- 6:15Speaker 1: she's coming from my spot. You know, everybody thinks that
- 6:18Speaker 1: has to be one female in charge or uh, they
- 6:20Speaker 1: put us in competition so much that we can't even
- 6:23Speaker 1: support each other. It's, uh, we're scared to say, hey,
- 6:27Speaker 1: you're pretty good, jump on my song, or you know,
- 6:30Speaker 1: just reach out, reach out and said that jump on
- 6:33Speaker 1: my song, or you're good, or like what you're doing
- 6:36Speaker 1: Missy Elliott big Sis. Uh. Other than that, No, why
- 6:41Speaker 1: do you think female mcs always get compared to other
- 6:43Speaker 1: female mcs? Hm hmm. I'm honestly not sure. I think
- 6:49Speaker 1: goes back to just being the sport, like being a
- 6:52Speaker 1: female in the rap game. You know, I think it
- 6:55Speaker 1: is a sport to it, you know what I mean.
- 6:56Speaker 1: It's Nikki, I think Niggi or any artists out there,
- 7:01Speaker 1: it has to see well, let me see what she
- 7:02Speaker 1: does for us, let me see how nice he is,
- 7:04Speaker 1: let me make sure somebody's out and be like, oh
- 7:10Speaker 1: behind the trees. They make it seem like you can't
- 7:12Speaker 1: sign a female unless she has certain quality, she has
- 7:14Speaker 1: to look at certain ways. Yeah, and they make it
- 7:17Speaker 1: seem like women are a lot more difficult because financially,
- 7:19Speaker 1: you gotta get your hair done, you gotta get your
- 7:21Speaker 1: makeup done, you gotta have a lot of them all.
- 7:23Speaker 1: You know, if you look at History, you look at
- 7:25Speaker 1: Little Kim, you look at Foxy Brown, these women were
- 7:28Speaker 1: hard to get around and hard to move around and
- 7:31Speaker 1: hard to work with it times, and everybody says that,
- 7:33Speaker 1: you know, so it's you know, it's history. I got
- 7:36Speaker 1: a point, But at the same time, like that's what
- 7:39Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring to the game, like a real,
- 7:41Speaker 1: a true individual. I don't I don't look at anybody
- 7:44Speaker 1: and say I have to look like you to make it,
- 7:47Speaker 1: or you know, I don't pay attention a lot of times,
- 7:50Speaker 1: I really don't pay attention to what other female artists
- 7:52Speaker 1: are doing, because then you get lost. You get lost
- 7:54Speaker 1: in a in a sauce. You start it's not even
- 7:56Speaker 1: that as you looking at it, as people coming to
- 7:57Speaker 1: you like, well, you know she's good and she has talent,
- 8:00Speaker 1: but I just need her to do this, this and that,
- 8:02Speaker 1: because this is what's winning right now, you know, pressure
- 8:05Speaker 1: tor asshots, right na, Na, And it's crazy. When I
- 8:09Speaker 1: got my deal, I really just wanted to, um, you know,
- 8:13Speaker 1: I just wanted to get things like my my gear
- 8:15Speaker 1: and um, you know, I wanted to get my teeth
- 8:18Speaker 1: fixed and all that. And they were like, don't get
- 8:20Speaker 1: no ashots. I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm definitely not
- 8:22Speaker 1: going to get that. That's the last thing I was
- 8:24Speaker 1: thinking about. So definitely no encourage. They told me. No.
- 8:30Speaker 1: My team, they they're behind me. They know, don't get that.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You know, you know, I appreciate that because some people
- 8:36Speaker 1: might have, uh, you know, well he might need a Yeah.
- 8:39Speaker 1: It wasn't like that, you know, it was ironic. I
- 8:41Speaker 1: was watching UM the last time I Team Love and
- 8:43Speaker 1: hip Hop and your song was on there. Yeah, right,
- 8:46Speaker 1: and you got a song and everybody else like it
- 8:52Speaker 1: was perfect timing right right, And I'm like, do they
- 8:54Speaker 1: know that you're kind of talking about them in that song. Well,
- 8:58Speaker 1: I think that's why they minded threw it in. I
- 9:01Speaker 1: saw an article that said, your song The Ratchet Commandments
- 9:04Speaker 1: is sex shaming. Women are shaming women? What you what
- 9:07Speaker 1: you think about that? It's not see if that's the thing.
- 9:11Speaker 1: When I made that song, it was more so let's
- 9:14Speaker 1: be aware of what's going on. Nobody's talking about this.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's put it out there that this is
- 9:20Speaker 1: what's going on. This is somebody has to say it,
- 9:23Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And for the most part,
- 9:25Speaker 1: we have so much of the shake your ass songs
- 9:29Speaker 1: or um watch me twork type of type of music.
- 9:32Speaker 1: So why not? Why Why am I, you know, being
- 9:34Speaker 1: criticized for being the one out of a million songs
- 9:38Speaker 1: that goes against what everybody's talking about. Everybody doesn't have
- 9:42Speaker 1: to do that. And it's not that you're saying things.
- 9:43Speaker 1: You're like, yo, if a girl, if a guy got
- 9:45Speaker 1: a girl, and I talked about males as well. Yeah,
- 9:48Speaker 1: it wasn't just all putting shame on women. And my
- 9:52Speaker 1: thing was, you know, when I made Ratchet Commandments, I
- 9:54Speaker 1: was talking to myself three years ago, you know what
- 9:56Speaker 1: I mean. It's not like I'm trying to say I'm
- 9:58Speaker 1: perfect or everybody he has to think this way, or
- 10:01Speaker 1: you're you're you're wrong. It's not like that. I just
- 10:03Speaker 1: want people to be aware. You know, young girls growing up,
- 10:06Speaker 1: they need to hit this type of stuff. You are
- 10:08Speaker 1: working on social media, uh man. When I was maybe
- 10:11Speaker 1: in like junior high high school type of days, everybody
- 10:14Speaker 1: has the moment. But when you know better, you supposed
- 10:17Speaker 1: to do a better right. What do you think about
- 10:18Speaker 1: something like Amber roses SlutWalk that she's organizing, teach us all.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I wouldn't partake in a SlutWalk, you know, it's just
- 10:28Speaker 1: not something I think. It's not something other jew. You know,
- 10:33Speaker 1: it's kind of unfair to do this interview. The reason
- 10:35Speaker 1: I say that is because we've heard so much music,
- 10:37Speaker 1: and there's so much music I want to talk about,
- 10:39Speaker 1: because we've actually heard the music and I'm excited about it,
- 10:42Speaker 1: but I can't talk about it yet. Well, let's talk
- 10:43Speaker 1: about tink there. What's the what's the female experience like
- 10:46Speaker 1: in Chicago? Do women go through the same thing guys
- 10:48Speaker 1: go through, like pressure to join gangs and stuff like that. Yeah,
- 10:51Speaker 1: for sure, Like females in Chicago. Man, a lot of
- 10:54Speaker 1: times it's like females and guys did the same um
- 10:58Speaker 1: And that's just because the drill saying in Chicago is
- 11:01Speaker 1: so heavy and influential. Like females almost they feel like
- 11:06Speaker 1: if I don't if I don't rock with this gang,
- 11:08Speaker 1: you know, I ain't cool. You know, it's not a
- 11:11Speaker 1: it's not cool to be to say no, I'm not
- 11:13Speaker 1: not a part of the gang, or you have to.
- 11:15Speaker 1: It's almost like a family type of thing. You feel
- 11:17Speaker 1: like you disloyal if you're not out here, you know,
- 11:20Speaker 1: gang banging. So yeah, that's what I'm saying, and it
- 11:24Speaker 1: comes across in the music. A lot of female rappers
- 11:26Speaker 1: from Chicago they are they're drill and I was at
- 11:29Speaker 1: one point too, a part of that people with drillers.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Some people might not know what drillers. Drill music is
- 11:34Speaker 1: really just like a gritty sound. It's about a you know, violence. Uh,
- 11:38Speaker 1: it's very vulgar. Um dirt Keith, you know that whole movement,
- 11:44Speaker 1: the little reci um y'all know. Now you had to
- 11:50Speaker 1: pick a number. Never. Um, I wouldn't even let put
- 11:53Speaker 1: myself in that position where somebody's you know, never like
- 11:56Speaker 1: never was that with Timerland? Is it is it harder
- 11:58Speaker 1: to work with Timerland? Or is it easier? Do you
- 12:00Speaker 1: have to prove yourself more? Or I got with him.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Um he heard a record idea called Don't Tell Nobody
- 12:08Speaker 1: in La and Um he got me on the phone
- 12:10Speaker 1: and he flew me out the next day to talk
- 12:13Speaker 1: to me, and from there we got in the studio
- 12:15Speaker 1: and it was just it was just like a real
- 12:17Speaker 1: genuine chemistry with him. So it is very easy to
- 12:20Speaker 1: work with him. He uh. You know a lot of producers,
- 12:23Speaker 1: they all get in the studio and they tell you
- 12:25Speaker 1: like they know it all, or you have to sound
- 12:29Speaker 1: like this, you're not doing that right. And with Tim,
- 12:31Speaker 1: it's like a partnership. It's the teamwork is a team effort.
- 12:34Speaker 1: So he listens just as much as he talks. Now
- 12:37Speaker 1: with with him, is it you know, with with some
- 12:39Speaker 1: of the doors that are opening, is it do you
- 12:41Speaker 1: feel like you have to prove yourself even more than
- 12:43Speaker 1: the people or is it is a little easier to
- 12:45Speaker 1: getting a feature or to getting something done. It's a
- 12:47Speaker 1: bit of both, um, you know. Tim definitely he has
- 12:51Speaker 1: those uh tricks in the bag that have helped me
- 12:54Speaker 1: a whole lot, you know. Um. But at the same time,
- 12:57Speaker 1: that push and that pressure is motivation. Like I go
- 13:00Speaker 1: on the studio with Tim, I know I can't I
- 13:02Speaker 1: can't do what I was doing ten years ago, well,
- 13:03Speaker 1: you know five years ago. I'm sorry. I have to
- 13:06Speaker 1: be better, you know, and every I think every artist
- 13:08Speaker 1: needs that. You know. Sometimes we get so comfortable with
- 13:11Speaker 1: what we were doing. We forget. You know, I gotta evolve,
- 13:15Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta switch it up a bit to
- 13:17Speaker 1: be greater. He said, you clean them up a little
- 13:19Speaker 1: bit too. He said, big white ya y'all, y'all look
- 13:25Speaker 1: like you. Yeah. He always telling me like you're making
- 13:30Speaker 1: me young again, And it makes me laugh because Tim
- 13:33Speaker 1: is a cool guy. Like if you ever talked to him,
- 13:35Speaker 1: he is just a silly person. He is a kid
- 13:37Speaker 1: at heart. So yeah, you have to tell him sometimes
- 13:40Speaker 1: and that be is kind of whack. I would never
- 13:44Speaker 1: say that, you know, I would never say that be
- 13:47Speaker 1: this whack, you know what I mean. I wouldn't say
- 13:49Speaker 1: it's a whack, but I'm like, uh, okay, Tim, let's
- 13:51Speaker 1: change this part up, or let's mix this beat. You
- 13:53Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's a it's an effort, the
- 13:54Speaker 1: team effort. I would never say it's whack, though. Is
- 13:56Speaker 1: it true? He always wanted to work with him? I did,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and you'd be surprised. Growing up, I listened to a
- 14:02Speaker 1: lot every artist that he worked with, Missy. I watched
- 14:05Speaker 1: our videos sitting on the couch every single day, Missy
- 14:08Speaker 1: Aliyah justin Timberlake, and uh, and I was telling to him.
- 14:12Speaker 1: A month before I met him, he was working with
- 14:14Speaker 1: an artist um her video was on TV. I think
- 14:17Speaker 1: her name is now you must Supreme, and I was, man,
- 14:19Speaker 1: what did she do to get with him? You know,
- 14:21Speaker 1: I just wanted to know, how do you get to Timberland?
- 14:23Speaker 1: And a month later it was like, man, it was
- 14:26Speaker 1: some destiny type of type of thing going on, because
- 14:28Speaker 1: he called me a month later after. I was thinking
- 14:30Speaker 1: that watching as the law of attraction, your thoughts become
- 14:32Speaker 1: things do you watch or anything like that. I watched
- 14:36Speaker 1: a few episodes, you know, I caught a few tend
- 14:39Speaker 1: to get material right, tend to get material right now?
- 14:42Speaker 1: That didn't embarrass you when Timberland like jumps out there
- 14:45Speaker 1: and says things like Alia came to him in a
- 14:47Speaker 1: dream and said you one because I saw him do
- 14:51Speaker 1: that on stage. No, I wasn't embarrassed. I was more
- 14:58Speaker 1: so just thinking about just the reaction because I know,
- 15:03Speaker 1: you know, for Tim to say that on a on
- 15:04Speaker 1: a big stage, a big platform like that, so many
- 15:06Speaker 1: cameras people are recording. I had I really automatically knew
- 15:10Speaker 1: people were gonna take it as if Tim saying uh,
- 15:13Speaker 1: tink is the next Aliyah, and and my thing was
- 15:16Speaker 1: Tim never said that. In fact, if you watched the
- 15:18Speaker 1: video before he said that, he was like, I'm not
- 15:20Speaker 1: saying Tink is better than Ala. He said that, and
- 15:23Speaker 1: I want people to know that will never be another Aliyah.
