  Speaker 1: Colleen Witz, and today we have in the building music artists,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: philosopher entrepreneur Larussell, and I am truly excited. Nothing made
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: my day more than like what two days ago when
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: your crew I think his crew confirmed like two or
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: three days ago, and it literally they were like, holy
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: why are you so silent? You're supposed to be happy?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I'm just making sure you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: tell me the date because if you tell me a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: month from now, I'm not getting excited, because just in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: case something happens. And she was like, so you're happy,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I said, what's the date two days from now? I said, hell, yeah,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I'm happy. Girl Danks shout outs and Nicole from the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Black Effect for booking you. Super happy to have you.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I love the name of your company and I love
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: what you're about. I'm the name of his company is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: called Good Come Penny as in Points, which I was like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: ooh ooh, that's different, I said, Man, Larussell's hitting us
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with so much integ do you remind me of a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: cross between jay Z and Drake and anyone that has
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: not heard your music or kind of even try to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: cyberspy on you. It was like really missing out, like
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on some good stuff. But since I have you in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: my kitchen, the eating while broke kitchen, I have to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: know what were you eating when you were broke?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Today I'm going to be making an egg sandwich. This
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: was a classic. My mama taught me how to make
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: eggs when I was like five, and I used to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: wake up every morning and make eggs and that was
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the only thing I knew how to make. So we
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: taking it back to the basics. We got some eggs,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: we got some salt and pepper. Today we're gonna be
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: doing it on garlic bread. Yeah, because I usually use
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: regular bread and we just throw it in a toaster.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: But my boy Austin was like, you gotta do garlic bread,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: so I figured we just spice it up today.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a whole discussion about the whole garlic bread,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you and I because I've actually never even thought of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: garlic bread. Actually, the first time I ever had garlic
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: bread for real, for real was the Texas toast in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the box. And now if you go into a store,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it is sold out, like you can't get it. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a miracle. If you find one maybe on eBay, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know the pandemic. Just like said, take away
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the best bread on earth. But I'm excited to eat
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: with you, so let's get it cracking. Oh my gosh,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: egg let's get it cracked, all right. I listened to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: rap music so much that my girlfriend and I shout
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: out to a lap behind the mirror over there. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: listened to rap soap music so much that I actually
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: speak in metaphors and sometimes people have to stop me
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and say, coly, we get it. You know you don't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have to. You don't have to rebreak it down in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: puzzle times.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm a metaphor speakers. Can I move this
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: so I can crack some eggs?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Here?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Slide over to my side the greatest?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Are you eating one too?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So I should make all you have to cook for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: both of us because if it's trash, we can both
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: discover that garlic bread egg sandwiches is just.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Not I'm finna drop some butter up in here, because
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: my mom would be like, use some pam so you
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: don't leave eggs stained all over there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Now, are you one of those people that are really
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: going to use metal on a Yes?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do. Use.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We're not supposed to do that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Even every listener is hearing that scratching is like, what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is he doing?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's crazy?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: What is he doing? His mama couldn't have ever let
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: him do that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Man, she did. You wouldn't believe how much stuff my
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: mom let me dot. I don't think we had teflon
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: back then. Maybe I don't remember.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You're right then it was like a luxury. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: back then I think it was. You're right, you just
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: had to butter everything down. Otherwise it's stuck.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Or you get that good old pam spray and you
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: in it. Oh I'm getting it all over there?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not. I'm not a you know, So tell
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: me a little bit about what was going on. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: know this is like the first dish that you ever cooked,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but tell me what was going on during the time of.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Also, I usually add bacon, beet bacon bits, and chaddar cheese.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: But I heard y'all broke, so it wasn't a here,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna go pepper. I don't see salt over here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: There's lors y'all struggling.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Hey, yo, so much fun of us over here yet?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You're not even gonna use lorries because.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Now I'm not gonna use Larry. I've never done that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to keep it authentic.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, okay, okay, I respect it to be honest. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: don't use lowries. Well I just started to recently, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's only because I married a black man from Detroit
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: who believes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Lawry's is everything seasoning. Yeah, yes, yes, beautiful.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So what was going on growing up? Like around when
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you were making egg sandwiches? I know you started at five,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, making these, but like kind of tell me
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of your background growing up, Like were
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you middle class?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I thought I was middle class until I got older
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: and realized we're definitely lower middle class. But my pops
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: was a hustler, so we were like we had enough
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: money to be like the richest niggas in the broke
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: neighborhood type shit you feel me, but definitely, uh, lower class,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: just regular neighborhood. Hard to describe when people ask that
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: question because you got to kind of grow up in
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: it to be familiar.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Did you grow up in a two parent household?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, Okay. A lot of people on the show,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they haven't I'm going in that's good. So when did
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you transition to music.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I've been writing since I was like seven, whether through
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: like writing poems or just journaling, drawing, just I've just
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: always used kind of writing and art as like an
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: artistic expression and form. So yeah, since I was seven,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and it's kind of just cultivated. Me and my sister
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: had this boom box and we used to download instrumentals
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: from LimeWire and burn them on the cdy the instrumentals
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: on the boom box and wrap over it. And I
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: remember we had a wrapped over knock if you buck
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and I was going crazy, but my sister was better
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: than me at the time, so I just had to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: keep working.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Your sister was rapping too.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my sister was rapping too.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So does she still rap?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: No, she doesn't.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So you surpassed her in the rap skills and then
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: she was like, I'm good. Is that what happened?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think she ever had a passion for it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It was just something we like to play around and do,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and I just kind of stuck with it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, that's pretty cool. So you is it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that you like Drake because it like from what I've
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: researched on you. Is that you from other articles and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you could correct me if I'm wrong, But your goal
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was to be on the level I want to say,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and on the I don't know, like numbers level, because
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: obviously talent wise, you're on the same level as Drake,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying numbers wise, you want to be on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the same level, but independently. Yeah, is that correct?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily numbers wise, but impacting notoriety wise. You know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I want people to respect me as such, and partially
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the way to do that is to put up the numbers. Right,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: If you're not scoring as well as Jordan, people don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: expect you respect you like a Jordan, right, And yeah,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to do that independently and just show people that it's
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: possible to be the greatest at something without having to
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: utilize someone else's infrastructure that they tell you got to
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: go through and you got to use these methods and
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you got to sell away your ownership, you know, like
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: everyone knows early on Drake didn't have his masters and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: had a horrible deal. I want to show people that
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you can get to that level without having to go
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: through that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: When you say just want to rewind. You said it
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was important for you to have impact and notoriety, Like why,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: what does that even mean to me?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: It just it enables you to to It enables you
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: to make change, like right now, feed the whole hood
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: where I'm from. You know, from now to the end
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: of the year, I've been feeding the hood out of
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: my own pocket. And I've only been able to do
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: that because of my impact and my notoriety. I've become
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: so great that I make enough money to where I
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: could take care of the place that birthed me right,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: And a lot of people don't get to do that
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: because they don't have either the talent level or the
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: resource to do it. I've been able to do it independently.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I'm Finnah. Drop this garlic bread on this joint.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: It's already, it's already done, already toasted it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Oh that's crazy.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I try to cheat it because I wanted to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: get all up in your kool aid. Wow, So I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: put the temple because you can't find that anywhere intriguing.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Let's try it. Let's be a team here. Dang, why
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: do we have to break from your story? Though?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Is this not the hardest interview? Process.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: This is great, This is great. I'm a multitasker.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try this too. All right, so we
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: get the bread everyone, we're getting the garlic bread situation

  Speaker 3: Just seeing the need. There's a lot of homeless in
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Balayale and just people who don't get to eat. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I'm always outside, so I always see it. I'm always
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: giving someone money or taking care of someone, whether my
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: mom gonna drop off boxes of merch to the homeless
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: community out there, to different encampments, and I'm just always
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: trying to help, right, and this is the way that
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: we can help now that I'm in a grander position.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I've done a few of these prior this year, but
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: just for a day. And when you do it today,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: it's like everybody don't get a chance to eat. So
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: this time it was like, let's make sure everybody gets
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: a chance to eat.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think what you're doing is great. I'm
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: gonna circle back to your music again. So you're a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: talented artist again. For anyone that hasn't heard your music,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I definitely would say you're in the same lay as
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: jay Z and Drake, which, by the way, I'm a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hardcore jay Z fan. Everyone that listens to this show
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: knows this. I have a huge five foot painting that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: literally the only one in the world that was custom
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: made of jay Z like hanging out and from projects.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm from Brooklyn.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: There it goes.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But I will say this in all truest form. Currently,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, I listen to Drake
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: more and I feel guilty. I feel like I'm cheating,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like for real, Like I don't let nobody know that,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Like nobody knows that. This is the first time I've
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: said it out loud, but in my heart, I'm like, Yo,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just listen to jay Z today, don't You don't have
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to always pick Drake, but I listened to your lyrics.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, like, what did? Have you ever been signed?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Not in the capacity that artists get signed, like, I've
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: never been signed to a major deal. All of my
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: deals have.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Been partnerships, like distribution deals.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: No, I've done like record deals, but in partnership form
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: like fifty to fifty profit shares, like I don't belong
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to anyone on my own entity and we just split
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: profit versus when a record label usually signed to you,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: you're in like a royalty deal and they own your shit.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And if they don't own your shit, they likense it
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: for twenty years and they have power and rule over
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: when you release and how you release to any of that. So,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I've never been in a major deal. All of my
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: deals have been partnerships.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Currently, are you in a partnership deal or are you independent?
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I've been independent the entire time, So all of these
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: partnerships are completely like me and my team do everything.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You see, you're controlling all the marketing everything. So and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they're controlling because nowadays it's a little confusing what record
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: label is really bringing to the table at this point.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It depends now I mean with I mean if oh
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: my gosh, why am I spacing when it comes to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: who is Draked in Lil Wayne? And what's their name
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of their young Money is it? No, it's not young Money,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's Ovo but no, no, no, he was signed to Lil Wayne,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: who was the cash So they're so from what I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: know of the history of uh, the music industry, Birdman
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: had the best deal in the industry. So young money,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: cash Money has literally the best deals on the table.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Cash money, cash money. So if cash Money calls you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: up right now, I'm just playing it. It was advocate with
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: no to see.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: There's a cash Money had the best deal in terms
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: of their deal with Republic, not in the deals that
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: they gave artists.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Really, you don't think they gave artists really good deals?
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: No, because they Drake didn't have his masters. He just
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: got him. He was in a royalty deal. Lil Wayne
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: had to take him to court to get his money.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: How could they be in a great deal? Tiger has
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: been complaining for years, how could they be in a
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: great deal that doesn't make any sense.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, cash Money had a substantial deal.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Wen dy Day was a part of helping put that
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: together with Republic. They really broke the bank.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: When did you? So you're a music artist? What is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: intriguing about you is, for instance, today we gave you
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a release, Clarence, and you sat there quietly and read it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You're a businessman all the way through. So were you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: do you think you're an entrepreneur before you were an artist?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Definitely? Definitely. Before I was releasing art, I was selling beats,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I was making like album covers for people and selling
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I've been I used to sell swishers. One of your parents, Yeah,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: my pops was a hustler. He sold everything under the
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: sun except drugs, like everything.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be my next question because when I hear hustler, I'm.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Like, what was he saying there?
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Everything exactly?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So you got your entrepreneur spirit from him, and then
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: your talent girls kind of came from you and your sister,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: like in this boombox.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Kind of my pops as well. He's very creatively inclined, right,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: and he's a problem solver, right, And I feel like
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: a part of my talent and just my skill, my
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: business acumen is because I'm a problem solver. My favorite
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: thing to say is I'll figure it out, and I will.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, spoken like a true entrepreneur. You know
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: how to pivot, RIGHTVT. Yeah, that's whenever I see a problem,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm always like, it's not a problem, it's a challenge, right.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: What I was I was walking to get my daughter
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: the other day and I was talking with my brother
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: and I was like, Man, are you looking for problems
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: or are you looking for loosening? You usually find whatever
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you're looking for.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I like that, you know what you say? How I think.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's why I like you so much. I genuinely,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I genuinely fuck with you hard. Do I say fuck
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: on the show ever? Really, I genuinely mess with you.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I was just like, yo, is he as dope? So
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: what I've learned being a Christian and just living in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the world is like, there's so many dope people that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: are doing great things externally. But now that I'm old, older,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I've grown enough, wasn't to ask myself, well, if they're
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: externally have all this integrity I just wonder, like if
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I was a fly on their wall at home, you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: do they carry that same level of integrity. When I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: listen to some of your rap lyrics, I'm like, Okay,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they're great, And then there's some that teeter into like
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: how you enjoy women in the past. I don't know
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: if it it's current. I don't know. You know, it's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: hard being a man. I'm not a man, So I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: just wondering, like, I think, if.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: You are a fly on the wall in my house,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you'd see a human and supreme form right in every
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: aspect on their roller coaster and on their journey. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: think there's everyone around me could speak to my heart
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: and my greatness and my moral and my character. But
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I also have issues as a human as well that
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I have to develop from and that I've had to
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: grow from just through a journey. Right, Like you you
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: learn self respect and you learn value, and you learn
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: respecting other people throughout your journey, depending on your experience
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and you're surrounding and what you witness. Right, most of
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: us just replicate whatever we see. If you don't see
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: anybody in like loving and nurturing situations and providing that
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: you don't often replicate it, right, because that's not something
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: you're familiar with. So just through that process. Of course,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: I'm a human, but I think for the most part,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: what you see externally of me is what you see
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: and when you meet me, I'm the exact same person.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Right when I hear your lyrics, you're I feel like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you're vulnerable, You're you're honest with yourself, and I think
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: for a lot of men, I don't want to say
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of men, for humans, I think we we
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: tend to either tell ourselves the truth or we tell
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: ourselves a lie, and it's the battle of you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: but the only way to grow is to tell yourself
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the truth. So there's a lot of vulnerability in your lyrics,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and I love it like I love it well, the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: same reason why I love a lot of y'all. You know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you are my top three, you know, come, so now
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I do do snooping. Obviously I had to cyberstock the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: hell out of you, but I noticed you were like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: if you're a fan of mine, you come directly to me, Like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: how did you even conceive that concept of like you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: want to come to my show? You buy the tickets
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: for me? No, ticket mass and no middle man, Like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: where did that come from?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Life?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: That's always been the process, you know, Like I've watched
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: my dad hustle, and everyone who bought product from him
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: pulled up on him or he pulled up on them.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: If you want something from Larussell, you have to go
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: communicate with Larussell. When you start adding third parties, you
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: could either miss opportunity or something get misplaced. Like I
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: used to do booking for a theater and I was
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: trying to book certain artists and I'd have to go
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: through their agents and It'll be like a caaw whatever.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they shut you down, get to it, and then
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: when I meet them later, I'm like, bro, I was trying.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: To get you for it would have been dope because
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I was building this thing. And they're like, man, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: didn't even know right, And that's because and they ain't
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: hollering at you. And then as the more middleman you have,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the more pie that's getting dipped into. And I'm a
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: firm believer in if I'm splitting pie, it needs to
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: be with people who helped me bake the pie, not
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: someone one who's just there. Because the end of this
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: is a standard. You need to have a business manager.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: You need to have this that like, we're not going
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: to do that. You got to actually provide something. If
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: you didn't bring no ingredients or help bake this, you
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: shouldn't get a slice of it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Now, you do have a team, because to get to you,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I tried emailing. Okay, I was like, this is the email,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: this is how I gets hel But you do have
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a team. Do you have a role amongst your team
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: that they don't get to say no, that you have
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to at least they have to at least present the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: opportunity to you. Because that's a valid point that happens
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in the industry.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Just about everything comes to me. And I may have
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: seen this, I was telling Austin. No, I'm for sure
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I have. I was telling Austin when it first came,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I had seen the show similar and I was like,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know because I seen the time the eating
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: while broke thing, and I feel like a lot of
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: people play on like poor people and shit, and I didn't.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't like it. So I was just like, ah,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna deal with that right now. Let me
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: see as it cultivates. So I've seen it. There's not
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: too much that come through the email that I don't see,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: and if I don't see it, my two right hands
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: always see it and it still makes its way to me.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: So with the eating when I broke, that was one
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: of the reasons. I was like, ah, the title, don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I don't like when people play on the on poverty,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and like, it's just.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Like when I created Eating While Broke, I I was like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I just I have so many dope, successful friends that
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: are like millionaires, influence celebrities, entrepreneurs, and they always have
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: these crazy stories like they were in jail, or they
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: were male escorts or just crazy ass stories, and I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: love them. I lived for them. We go on to hiking,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: like tell me more, what else did you do? You're
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: a hooker? Okay, let's there, you know, And so I
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: just love the journey. I actually don't even I do
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: enjoy the solutions, but I love the journey. I love
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the storytelling. I love the hero's journey. And so when
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I came up with Eating While Broke, I was like, well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we got to start it at the route you know
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that everyone can relate to, like, you know, people that
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: are aspiring rappers that are literally only have two pennies
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to rub together, and I named it Eating while Broke.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But then I realized, damn, every time I pitched the show,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I have to say, hey, I have this great opportunity
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: for you. It's ignore the name, let me tell you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: what it is. And I always have to say, ignore
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the name, and then I tell them, you know, the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: show is about inspiring people and just kind of leveling
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: with them and inspiring them that they can do exactly
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: what you did, or they should believe in themselves no
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: matter what their environment is in. But I always have
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to do this, dang explain her on eating wall Sometimes.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: That's why, like certain things would get to me through email,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: but since it doesn't have full context, it's like I
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: can't tend to it right because it doesn't resonate. But
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: that's why I'm always somebody. I'm so open. If you
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: see me anywhere, you can come to me and address me.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: And once I meet you and feel your energy, it's like, oh, okay,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: that makes sense, right, But emails have no context, like
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: that's just you gotta take it for whatever you want.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'm uh. Pippole told me this once. He said, if
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they locked the door, you're climbing through the window. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, he didn't respond. He Nicole, better use
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that my heart email drop this Charlottemade you know it's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: running this show, and uh, you know, get his attention.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: And not only did I do that, but I liked
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you so much. I literally was like Earner Leisure should
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: have him, Charlemagne should have him, all these people should
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: have him, and she was like, I think they already did.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Like I was like the last ones at the table,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: like these are the shows he should be on. I
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: don't even I don't even never had an opportunity meet
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: with you, but I was like, dam all your publicists
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: over there, like this is who I want. Love it
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and and that's you know why we named the show,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, eating while broke.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: But I get it because I literally every time I
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: sell someone on the idea, I'm like, just ignore the name,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: ignore the name. But I'm glad that you take time
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to come and sit with me and super excited. I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: love literally everything you're about. And sorry, one of the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: things that kind of surprised me is the entrepreneur in
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you and like, also, like, why did you name your
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: company the Good Company?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean good company just because there's a quote.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Let's say your mama say you just by the company
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you keep, right, So I feel like good company is
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: encompassing of just I like to have good people around me,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: and we build great energy when we go into places.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: We're a good company to have, right, Just that name
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: is welcoming. And then I use pennies because I feel
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: like pennies are undervalued and overlooked. Right. If you see
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: a penny on the ground, you usually don't stop and
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: pick it up. But imagine if you stopped and picked
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: up every penny you walk past throughout your whole life,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: have more money than a lot of the people besides you.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Even though it's a penny. There's a multitude of them,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: like we passed them up all the time everywhere, and
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: no one really cares. Right, But it exists for a reason.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I sometimes think pennies exist to go in my daughter's mouth. Right,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that's a terrible joke. I'm a new mom. I'm a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: brand new mom. I spend most of my days trying
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to convince my daughter not to try a new way
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to commit suicide. Right right now, now you see why
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: our parents are like tired by eight o'clock because they
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: like spent the entire day, like what do you have
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to do next? But what can people expect from you
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: in the future music wise?
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: A ton of it, A whole lot of it.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: You know. I'm someone I live by this theory of
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: like leaving empty. I don't want to leave with nothing
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: on my plate and all the music I have I
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: intend to release and get out. I don't want to
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: sit on things for years. I'm currently building crazy infrastructure
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: at home. I keep saying I'm building Disneyland because we're
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: building something like that completely laterally. But really, I don't know.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I don't have any expectation of myself. So I think
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: people shouldn't. They should just enjoy the journey. Like how
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: you say you've been spying, Like I hope when you
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: spy you're smiling because it's just it's a hell of
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: a show to watch, you know, it's a beautiful shavn't
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: got to see too many artists actually make it in
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: front of us, right, Like we see the resulting that
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the label post and share, but we don't see like
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: them going city to city. Hey yo, I'm gonna do
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: a pop up, you know, Like we don't get to
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: see that part of the journey, and I'm showing all
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: of it. I'm showing us running merch for filming out
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: of my house. My mom is dropping them, dropping them off,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: like I'm showing the entire process, and we're sharing the
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: gyms along. So I think people should just stay tuned
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: and this We got enough sequels to beat the Fast
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: and Furious series, you know, like we're coming.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Like that when you do your pop YouTube pop up shows, right.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: We're doing one tonight. I just I just got off
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: a plane and I was like, man, I want to
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: do a show. So we announced it and now the
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: show tickets have been selling tonight. It's going to be
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: at where going to be? This is This one's gonna
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: be special because it's an unplugged version and it's like
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: live Q and A like.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: People, I'm not gonna lie like I would love to go.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Please. What's dope about our shows is like this one
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: is a bit different, but generally with our shows, like
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I use the second half of my set to just
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: let the fans choose the songs they want to hear,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and I rap whatever they say they want to hear. Right,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: So it's like a really interactive show. We did one
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: in New York and Brooklyn. When we went out there,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: it sold out in six hours, five hundred tickets. So
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: now I've just kind of been in this wave where
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: it's like I just be like, I feel like doing it,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: and we do it and it usually goes well.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And then who kind of does the logistics?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: So myself for Nadi, he's a member of my team.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: He helps with booking, Tiata helps with logistics. Milli is
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: on my team. So anytime we go to a tour
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: route and she kind of.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Plans and give a guy and girl team you yeah, yeah, okay,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I like that because sometimes you work with people and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: they like Slayholder, like Charlemagne's company is pretty much ran
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: by women black women, which is amazing by the way
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: he treat the man.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be where I am without women. I have
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: a team of like the most incredible creative intuit in
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: women when it comes to just business and everything.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Now, one of the things I did see, and I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: could be wrong, maybe lack of research, but I feel
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: like on one of the things you have posted was
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: like if people buy your records, they have like some
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: kind of ownership in it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So not necessarily if you buy it some people.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: So on Usually on projects, I'll sell my album before
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: it comes to streaming, and anyone who buys that project
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: is up for selection to receive a royalty. So I
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: usually go through the list of buyers and I'll pick
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: like fifty to one hundred people, sometimes one hundred and
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: fifty if I'm feeling good, sometimes two hundred, and I'll
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: give them a percentage of royalty in different songs from
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that album. You can also buy royalties, like you could
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: make an offer to purchase a share. So if you
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: have a favorite song you like, I love this song,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I know it's gonna be big, or just I love
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: this song, I just want to have a stake in it,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: you can make an offer to me and say I
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: want five percent of the revenue from this song. I'm
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: willing to give you a thousand dollars five hundred dollars,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: and I'll hit you and negotiate and say I'm willing
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: to take this or I'm not, and then I send
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: you a percentage to the distro you collect every month
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: into perpetuity for the rest of your life.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never heard of someone do that, Brover, I've
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: never heard a song. I was like, did he do
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: what I think he did?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: How do you right?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: How did you come up with that?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Like how it was just a late night thought of
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Like I've always been split in revenue with my team.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Everyone who helped, producers, engineers, they all get a percent.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: So one day it was just like we should give
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: the fans some They listened to this shit every day.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Imagine if your favorite jay Z song, I Man, you
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: listen to it every day, but you don't want to
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: percent it. My fans, like bagas Claim blew up. Some
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: of my fans had equity in that song when it
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: first dropped, a year before it even took off.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: So they for the rest of their.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Life they're going to be getting money off bagas Claim
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: because they just made the right call. They enjoyed the song.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: So and then, but.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: They reached out to you, or how did you even
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: announce that?
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I made this big announcement and Tieta on my team.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: She created this form for people to go fill out
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: and you put all your information, you put your offer amount,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: how much you want. It comes to a database. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: look at all the offers, I'll email you and say yeh,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I send your offer. I liked it, I accept you
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: email me. I go through every offered personal badass even
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: through email, like when we do bookings and shit like,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: people are always surprised that they're talking to me. It's like,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: it's my business. Of course you're talking to me.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: It makes sense, right. Most of my companies, for some
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: reason cannot get them past a certain threshold. I don't
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: know if it's like my whatever, but so most of
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: my companies are smaller. So I'll email, but I email
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: under an alias. It'll be like Samantha, and it'll be
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: like Samantha's so crazy.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: When I used to send out emails to get booked,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: to go to venues and try to book them, I
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: used to act like I was my own manager, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: then eventually it's like, bro, it's me.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I am l Russell. I'm gonna DIVI vinue. This is
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: what I want to do right.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: And I've gotten so much more rapport and response because
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: it's like, of course people want to talk to you
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: like I'm doing it right.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: You didn't feel at some point it hinders how much
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: more you can get because like I'll give it pretty
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: v uh. I emailed her and I'm like okay, you know,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: she responded, and then like it was her, and then
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: she got on the phone with me. She like just
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: called me, and then I hear the Jamaican accent. I'm like,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I said, and we ended up vibing
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: on the phone like for forty five minutes. And but
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: it was it was the first time that I cold
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: called emailed somebody and not only did they respond in
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: record speed, but I mean, first of all, that girl
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: is as humble as a yet, right, but that was
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the first time that I've ever seen like someone on
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: that level just be like, what's up, what's up? Let's
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: do it. She was like, what do you want me
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: to cook? I got beans and that. I was like,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? You're dope. I was just like
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you do you know, and it was past, no team,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: no nothing. And you know, I didn't even know it
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: was her until she called me, and I was like, oh,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: it's you. You know, that's like if jay Z calls
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: me after an email and be like.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Right, people usually get that same shock, but it just
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: builds a different relationship, right. You respect what someone is
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: building a lot more when you know they're working it, right,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: It's hard to fuck someone over when it's like oh
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: it's you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're right, builds a different
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: rapport you have to do.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: You have an internal rule about letting new people into
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: your camp, because it seems like you have a very
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: large camp.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: It is kind kind of yeah, even my immediate group
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: is pretty large. There's not really a rule, just an energy, right,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: if I know who I like and who I don't like,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: and who fits and who doesn't. Sometimes we'll trial people
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: out and it's like ah, that didn't really work, and
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: we kind of maneuver forward. But it's not really any rule,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: just your energy, how you feel, how everyone feels about you,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: how you feel about everyone, and we could usually get
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a sense of that really fast. I also have like
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I like to work with people who work hard, like
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the best. You know, I don't want to It's like, bro,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I'm playing at a high level at all times. If
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: you can't keep up, you need to go on the
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: other court and play with the little kids for a
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: bit to your game get up.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Have you experienced failure or let me just rephrase that,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: have you experienced perceived failure?
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I hate the word, of course, yeah, of course me about.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Like perceived failure, and like what the experience was.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Man, I've had shows where there was five people in
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the crowd and I had to pay for a venue.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I rented a sprinter van to get my team there.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: We brought the equipment, We brought a ton of merch
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: that we didn't sell because there wasn't no one to
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: sell it to. And I was a tough ride home.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: You know, I was silent. I'm usually the allowing and
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: talking and childing, but I was silent, right. And I've
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: had several of those moments of perceive failure even beyond that,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: just sometimes releasing merch and putting all your money into
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: it and it doesn't go that people don't react. Early on,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of albums. I dropped twenty two albums.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I've had a lot of albums early on where I
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: was like, this is gonna be Yeah, we've been we've
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: been overlow. We didn't blow nothing. Albums is a lot, yeah,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: way more.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Two hours, not even twenty two singles.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: No, And that's just my catalog. I've written other EP
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: single albums for a bunch of other people, so, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: just in my own album, it's twenty two.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: When you experience perceived failure. Can you walk me through
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: your thoughts?
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Usually is negative first, right, It's all like I look
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: for all the problems, what I didn't do, how I
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: didn't do it while I could have done it better,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: And then eventually it just becomes like analytical solution based,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: like I always want to I always want to prove
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: me wrong or anybody wrong. I'm like, well, I'm finna
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: next time. I'm gonna do it triple besides, and it's
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: gonna be a success. But yeah, it's usually just that
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: immersed emotional turmoil that comes with it first, where you know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: you feel that dark cloud over you and sometimes you
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: gotta cry or you gotta sit in that and kind
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: of be in that space until you could work through it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you didn't just say, well, maybe this
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: is a question. But in that negative space, have you
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: questioned your worth? Like whether you know, like, oh, well
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: five people. I get the logistics because I as an entrepreneur,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I get like what did we do? What could we
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: have done differently? But in that negative space, can you say,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and you are prolific for sure, but have you questioned your.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Own not in music, like anytime I failed in music.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a question of my own worth. It was
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: just like, they don't see it. Right, I knew, I
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: knew I was it. I'm just like they don't see it.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: I haven't done enough work for them to see it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: They don't see it. So I've never questioned my worth
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: in that aspect. If I'm questioning my worth, it's usually
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: through some life shit, like me doing something against my
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: own morals or against my own code, or just I
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: let somebody down and that's dear to me. Those are
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: moments I questioned my worth when I can't show up
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: for my daughter in a way that I felt like
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: I should. Things like that, but not music, And I put.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: My hour career wise.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, no, not career wise at all. I know
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: what I'm worth in my career. I know what I deliver,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I know what I bring forth, and even even through life,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: like I'm getting to a point where I know my
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: impact and how significant I am to you know, the
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: life around me and the world. I'm feeding a community.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: A community. So there's a book I just recently checked out.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever heard of it. It's
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: called Mail Versus Man. Dedre Whitfield shout outs to him.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I picked up the book. I thought it was for men,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: but so I got it from my my friend and
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: but I ended up reading it because I like to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: read to get to a book. I'm literally in a
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: book head that I am obsessed with books. But I
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: read the book and one of the things he pointed
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: out in the book, which I will gift you the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: book now that I have, I think I have your
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: address on them. I'll get to information. Yes, But anyways,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: one of the things he talked about was like the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: male versus man. You know, the male is self seeking
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and the man is of service, which is different problem.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I never thought of that, Like, so when a guy
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: takes me on a date, I'm like, are you trying
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: to give me? Are you trying to serve me? Now,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: at first I was like, oh, that's messed up to
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: like seek service, But as a female, it's actually not,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: because you know, we seek protection and we seek Some
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: of us do need help providing and some of us
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: need of course, everyone wants to be professed. Marry me,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the announce the world. I'm the one. I also in
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: my hip hop head and after reading that book lately,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: it's like every song on the radio is like shout
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: out to my sneaky link er or yeah, I'm having
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: sex with him my side chick raw. But I'm never
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: gonna leave you. I'm never gonna leave my family for you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: And and I'm like, yo, did he really just say
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: he's having sex with his side chick raw and that's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: why she's attached? And some of these lyrics are so
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: terrible to women. I'm like, at what point? And who
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: is responsible? And this is just an honest like friend
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: or you know you you you have responsibilities as a
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: philosopher and entrepreneur and a leader and being a vulnerable
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: man yourself, Like, who do you think is responsible? Is
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: it the art form, is it the male energy, or
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: is it us women?
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's responsible, but I think everyone is accountable.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I hear the same music coming from females as well.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I went into an ail salon, I saw nothing but
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: strippers all then.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a responsibility, but there's an accountability.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: And uh, I think that's one of those things that
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: it's hard to ever be what you never see, right.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: A lot of these men that make it in hip
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: hop and music, they haven't had great examples of leadership
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: or of men that have that in them to not
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: fall to desire, or that are disciplined or impeccable in
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: their soul or fulfilled to where they don't need to
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: seek or go get extra and the same with women.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: So I think that's just we often act these artists
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: to build things that they don't have the tools to build, right. Yeah,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Like if you go look in their toolbox, it's it's
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: like you want to build a house with guys.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Feel like jay Z kind of touched on that in
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I want to say four for four or one of
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the hourists like where he was the first one to.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Be where we've seen that, Oh wow, you've upgraded your toolbox, right,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: But a lot of artists don't have that. We're coming
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: out of environments that don't nurture that type of behavior
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: or system. Like when I was coming up, the older
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: men around me was like players too, Like, bro, what
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: you feel me? So you grow up embracing that and
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: wanting to be like that. That's what you replicate, That's
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: what you know. You don't see anyone I've I don't
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: think I've ever seen a man that was just so
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: in love and revere their family so much and treated
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: they women so well, like they meant the world to me.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: For me to be like, man, that's what I want right.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Very seldom do you witness that and experience that. But
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: yet you expect someone to conduct themselves in that manner.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: That's what's not gonna happen.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. So when it comes to accountability in your
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: personal life, who holds you accountable? Is it? I don't
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: want to answer the questions.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Everyone around me in a sense holds me accountable in
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: some way, but ultimately me like I have to be.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I have to be the one that wants to get
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: up every day and put in work and be better
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: and want to drop my daughter off and pick her
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: up and do work and things like that. But everyone
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: around me, from myself, my mom, my dad, my daughter,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: her mother, tieda Millie testing everyone are fani. Just all
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: of my friends hold me accountable in some aspect. They're
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: always in my you know, I can only stoop so
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: low sometimes before someone's like, hey, brouh, what we doing?
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Oh? I like that? I like that? Okay? Is there
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: anything that your fans are me don't know about you?
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: I mean everything, I mean, I guess you only.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Know the music well because you kind of signed a
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: camera on your entrepreneurship. You also do all these little
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say little, but these gems on
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: social media. So when I say is there anything we
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: don't know about you? I feel like you're it's like
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: you learn a lesson. You're like, let's put it out there.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: You learn that lesson?
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: What about there really else today?
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: So I battle that.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I like, I don't know if I want to get personal, man, real.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: No such thing. I've had the really reals, and I
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: shared there's no such thing. Because there's a billion people
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: in the world, and someone's been through exactly what you've
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: been through, and they may need your help, right, but
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: you're refusing to hell, you have all the tools and
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: all the means to help them, but you're refusing to
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: do it because of your own fear, right, And like,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: I don't want to deny nobody of that tool. Like
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I want people to be able to grow. If that's
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: going to be through me just sharing what I felt
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: or experienced, that's an easy call.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Right do you do.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: The The world is always a sensitive around this topic,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go ahead and throw it out there.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: But do you believe in therapy? Do you do therapy?
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: So I recently started therapy, probably a few months back,
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: and I had a few sessions and it's cool. I'm
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: not consistent with it because I don't feel like I'm
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: gaining much from it. But I also had like an
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: expectation of what I was supposed to get from it,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: like I'm supposed to be here, like I have a
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: new sessions. It's like, man, I'm a gold new Man, right,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: And that's not how it happens. And for me, I
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: just I just realized that it was work that I
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: need to do. Right. I don't need anyone's help to
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: be a better human. I just need to choose to
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: be a better human and commit to that. That's not
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: something I need to talk to someone about if you
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: want to, yes, But for me personally, it's like I
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: built an entire empire. I could definitely build myself as
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: a man, right. I don't need anyone's assistant to do that,
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: But I chose. I've chosen not to, right, I've chosen
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: not to allocate my energy towards that, which is the
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: only reason I haven't grown in any way that I
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: wish to.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: It's funny you say that because I recently full vulnerability here.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: I recently did try therapy, and I kind of felt like,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: oh man, this is gonna sound really shitty for all
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: those people that give.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: It to them.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: But I felt like, yeah, I wasn't getting the response
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: in that I needed, the in the record speed that
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I needed and it was like I knew the answers,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: but I just wasn't choosing to make the choice that
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I needed to make. And in therapy it takes so
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: much uprooting of your childhood to get to the root
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: that I was like, yo, I'm not trying to relive
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the thing that I ran from, like trying to give
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: me PTSD. Like, no, I'm good, but I do agree
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: with you, and I'm glad you were honest about that
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: because people say therapy therapy, therapy, and I actually thought
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you weren't gonna say that you do therapy because I
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: low key feel like your vulnerability and your lyrics is
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: a form of therapy.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Definitely. Definitely, that's where I get to get all of
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: that from.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And someone gets you, man, And like, because I feel
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: like Drake, every time.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Writing and talking really helps and that's the thing about
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: the past, like you're saying, and that shows you how
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: much you're how deep your trauma is because you think
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: like speaking about it is reliving it. You can't relive
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: the past, right, it's already been lived, it's gone. It
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: only exists in your memory. You can't relive it. But
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: we when trauma hits in a certain way, it makes
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: you feel like you're going through that experience again, but
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: it's not, and you really have to work through that
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: to get You got to go through it to get
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: through it, right.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Or you can try.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I tried my hardest to I believe. I tell myself this,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: every storm. At the end of every storm is a rainbow.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: So the faster I don't cope through it or the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: more I do not cope and numb, the faster I
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: get through the storm. So like if I were to
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: numb something, drink, get high, have sex, or do whatever
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: it is, go go to the mall, look pretty, whatever
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: I gotta do, go to the clubs. If I cope
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: through it, then it's gonna take me longer to heal.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: So if I go through it and like blow up
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: my girlfriends, then to strangers and seven elevens. You know whatever,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get through it faster, even though it's gonna hurt,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, right.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: So definitely, you definitely prolong the healing process as you
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: as you act right, every every twinkie you eat just
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: makes you closer to the opposite end of where you
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: want to be, right, like exactly, And that that's how
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: it is with everything. Every time you do another act
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: that goes against what you want to be, you're just
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: adding it. Because the thing with with how the human
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: system work is the more you do something, the better
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: you get at it, right, So the more you live found,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: the better you get at it. Some people are phenomenal cheaters,
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: and it's because they do it a whole lot. Yeah, right,
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: So every time you do it, you're getting better at it,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: which means it's going to take a lot.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Longer to get better.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: And the other direction, because you're so exceptional at what
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: you do. If you lie a lot, you're exceptional, it's
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: gonna take you a lot to become someone who tells
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: the truth exceptionally.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's deep, that's deep. But I think at
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I mean I personally give
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: people a lot of grace. I'm one of those people
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that you could literally push me off my seat and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: be like, I was just angry my bagm. So I'd
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: be like, no, it's okay. But now I'm at the
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: place where it's like I get it, you're anger. I
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: just don't want to sit next to you anymore. Like
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: take your anger out on the flowers over there, you know.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: But it's a pleasure to have you. I know, we
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: kind of we're all over this space. I really would
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: like to go to your show tonight. I know, yes,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: I do have some plans, but I'm a pivot and
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm a mother now, so trust me, everything is
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: like a babysitter, babysitter, nanny, babysitter is like any amount
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: of freedom cost.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: You have to come. This is going to be special.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna come. I am a true fan. I
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: have so much admir generation for the way you run
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: your businesses, how everyone gets a buy and how everyone
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: gets an option to invest in how you partner and
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: do this restaurant where it's like pay what you what
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: you want, which is brilliant, and it's just something that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of artists aren't doing right, you know, and
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I love the vulnerability and your lyrics. So I'm truly
• 51:22
