1:17
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we need to like maybe pay attention
1:19
Speaker 1: to this. So I'm from Chicago. We are very heavy
1:22
Speaker 1: in theater. So I did the whole theater stuff, you know, plays,
1:26
Speaker 1: school plays, and it was just like something I was
1:28
Speaker 1: drawn to, you know. So it wasn't until I was
1:31
Speaker 1: eight years old auditioned for a movie that I booked,
1:35
Speaker 1: and then it was well, y'all don't go look this
1:38
Speaker 1: up now because it's kind of embarrassing.
1:40
Speaker 3: But it was for Fox. It was called Divas. Just
1:43
Speaker 3: leave that there.
1:44
Speaker 1: But Ni Corey, like I thought I would, I look back,
1:49
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what what is this? But
1:52
Speaker 1: it was like I'm here, I'm doing something I love
1:55
Speaker 1: and I'm getting a check from it.
1:56
Speaker 3: And I think that's when it clicked.
1:57
Speaker 2: How old were you? I was eight, Okay, said this
2:00
Speaker 2: is what.
2:00
Speaker 1: I this is what I want to do, this is
2:01
Speaker 1: what I'm meant to do. That's how it like clicked
2:03
Speaker 1: for me.
2:03
Speaker 4: Did your family push you to start getting into acting?
2:06
Speaker 1: So my sister Allison, she was a writer on Amen
2:09
Speaker 1: Rock Martin and she was the one living in la
2:14
Speaker 1: like you know, since she's doing all these things or
2:15
Speaker 1: having a desire, let's put her in some acting classes.
2:18
Speaker 1: Let's you know, take it seriously, and this is how
2:20
Speaker 1: you can make it, you know, constructive for her. So
2:23
Speaker 1: getting a resume, headshots agent, I wouldn't have known that,
2:26
Speaker 1: you know, my mom wouldn't have known that. So having
2:27
Speaker 1: her was definitely a guide, and it helped to say,
2:30
Speaker 1: step by step, this is how you know you have
2:32
Speaker 1: to do it if you really want to do it
2:33
Speaker 1: for real. So we did it, and yeah, by age eight,
2:36
Speaker 1: I was like working.
2:38
Speaker 2: Don't stop peaking, going Now, what's what's the the big
2:42
Speaker 2: thing that happens earlier on that make you say, oh,
2:46
Speaker 2: I'm here, I've arrived.
2:47
Speaker 3: Oh you know, I really don't. It's crazy. I don't
2:50
Speaker 3: feel like I've arrived yet. Really, I really don't.
2:52
Speaker 1: It's like for me, I have so many more things
2:55
Speaker 1: I want to accomplish, so I appreciate the journey. I
2:58
Speaker 1: think sometimes I have to reflect back, like, wow, you
3:01
Speaker 1: know I did graduate high school early on a roll
3:04
Speaker 1: straight a's okay, saw me and daddy, you know, make
3:08
Speaker 1: them proud so that I could go to LA to
3:10
Speaker 1: pursue it.
3:11
Speaker 3: And that's what I did.
3:12
Speaker 1: I was fresh out of high school in LA trying
3:14
Speaker 1: to figure it out, slapping my car, did the whole
3:18
Speaker 1: you know, figuring it out, doing background work.
3:20
Speaker 3: Fun fact, I was a background dancer and ushers.
3:23
Speaker 1: You don't have to call video, you don't have to
3:25
Speaker 1: call you miss me, so you would never know.
3:29
Speaker 3: But I was there. I was there.
3:30
Speaker 1: But those type of experiences taught me like what it's
3:34
Speaker 1: like to be on set, you know, watching the director,
3:36
Speaker 1: watching how things happened.
3:38
Speaker 3: That was like my school.
3:39
Speaker 1: So it was just a matter of time before I
3:42
Speaker 1: booked Never Die Along, which was my first movie with DMX.
3:45
Speaker 2: Right, okay, so stop do you felt Do you feel
3:47
Speaker 2: like that that was necessary for you to appreciate when
3:51
Speaker 2: you got the first big gig the DMX. Absolutely, because
3:56
Speaker 2: the sleeping in the car, the you know, we eating
4:00
Speaker 2: Raymon noodles and stuff like that too.
4:02
Speaker 1: I was actually one of my friends who's like really
4:04
Speaker 1: successful actor now. We used to go to McDonald's and
4:07
Speaker 1: like be like all put our money there, like we
4:09
Speaker 1: can get a meal and we can.
4:10
Speaker 3: Split it, eat it real slow and we gonna be
4:13
Speaker 3: all right. It was like that Taco bell, you know,
4:15
Speaker 3: all the specials.
4:16
Speaker 1: I took advantage of all those specials, Like you had
4:18
Speaker 1: to be creative to figure out how to survive because
4:21
Speaker 1: it's very expensive, you know, to live in LA and
4:24
Speaker 1: then you're entering into an industry that you can't really
4:27
Speaker 1: like prepare for.
4:28
Speaker 3: You gotta live it and see it and learn it.
4:31
Speaker 1: And being I was a teenager at the time away
4:33
Speaker 1: from my family, I'm seeing stuff that I'm like, WHOA, unbelievable.
4:37
Speaker 2: Where's your sister? My sister now is at this particular moment, at.
4:42
Speaker 1: This particular moment when I graduated, she was living in
4:45
Speaker 1: LA First, when I moved to LA she had met
4:48
Speaker 1: an NBA player.
4:48
Speaker 3: And got married, and so she was back in Chicago
4:52
Speaker 3: played for the Bulls.
4:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she was like that ain't no point in
4:55
Speaker 2: me working no more.
4:55
Speaker 1: She was like, I'm married now, but she's like, I'm
4:58
Speaker 1: still here. You know, she's still to this day in
5:00
Speaker 1: my life. She's on my team and just my big
5:03
Speaker 1: sister that you know we kind of see our dreams through.
5:05
Speaker 1: But yees, she at this point she had a baby,
5:07
Speaker 1: raising her family back.
5:08
Speaker 4: And yeah, right, what's some of the big challenges about
5:13
Speaker 4: you know, getting into the film and industry that a
5:15
Speaker 4: lot of people don't understand yo.
5:18
Speaker 1: It's like it's so many no's, it's more knows than
5:23
Speaker 1: yes is. It's like you wait for the yes because
5:26
Speaker 1: that yes is what changes your life. So you get
5:28
Speaker 1: into it thinking, Okay, I'm around these people, I'm in
5:31
Speaker 1: these rooms. But then it's like I didn't get that
5:34
Speaker 1: job and it was I think a year almost two
5:37
Speaker 1: years before actually booked my first job, and that can
5:38
Speaker 1: get discouraging.
5:39
Speaker 3: So it's like, am I meant to do this?
5:41
Speaker 1: But it's like no after no, after no after no,
5:44
Speaker 1: And then you get that yes and you're like, wow, okay,
5:47
Speaker 1: it's the opportunity now.
5:48
Speaker 3: So and then you still get nose.
5:49
Speaker 1: Even for me, I'm like I'm decades in now and
5:53
Speaker 1: I still get it. I'm like I thought it was gonna,
5:54
Speaker 1: you know, be up from here. But I think that's
5:57
Speaker 1: the beauty of the journey because you can never get
5:58
Speaker 1: too comfortable as an actor. You can't really say Okay,
6:02
Speaker 1: this is forever, or you can't guarantee your next job.
6:04
Speaker 1: You know, you really have to wait for it, and
6:07
Speaker 1: so you have to be smart. You have to save
6:08
Speaker 1: your money, you have to continue to work, you have
6:10
Speaker 1: to open up other avenues which is so amazing that
6:12
Speaker 1: we have different outlets, you know, and that's why I'm
6:14
Speaker 1: also music acting.
6:16
Speaker 3: You know. It's like it's no boundaries, you know.
6:19
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying that, because I was gonna that's
6:21
Speaker 2: gonna be my next question, making money, saving money, preparing
6:25
Speaker 2: for you know, moments where it's not going to be
6:28
Speaker 2: any gigs when you want them to come. Did you
6:32
Speaker 2: have to figure that out on your own or did
6:34
Speaker 2: someone try to warn you and then you'd be like, yeah,
6:36
Speaker 2: I'll be all right, I'm good, Or how did that
6:38
Speaker 2: work out?
6:39
Speaker 3: Like account is in the negative? How this happened? Oh
6:42
Speaker 3: oh my god? What am I going to do?
6:44
Speaker 2: You know?
6:44
Speaker 1: It was literally me having to learn, like make every
6:48
Speaker 1: mistake to grow from that. So I always tell people
6:52
Speaker 1: like if I can help you, you know, and I
6:53
Speaker 1: love giving back, you know, the young girls. I'm like,
6:55
Speaker 1: let me help you because I literally went through everything.
6:58
Speaker 3: I can tell you what not to do with.
7:00
Speaker 1: This point, but I can say that it's shaped me,
7:03
Speaker 1: it helped me, it grew me, and now I'm a
7:05
Speaker 1: lot smart, Like I'm so risk adverse, like I save,
7:08
Speaker 1: I saved. I'm I'm not spending money on that, you know,
7:10
Speaker 1: because it's just not guaranteed, but I do, you know,
7:15
Speaker 1: appreciate the opportunity now to get more into producing and
7:18
Speaker 1: directing and just really opening up outlets for other people.
7:20
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the beauty. And when you are
7:23
Speaker 1: up against the wall, I think COVID taught like the
7:24
Speaker 1: whole world that, you know what I mean, Like we
7:27

10:15
Speaker 2: On top of my wife Tiian? But I do I
10:20
Speaker 2: do wonder? Yeah, one time for my wife Tnian happened
10:24
Speaker 2: to I was just planning. I was just saying, uh,
10:26
Speaker 2: you know, if you had assets, you have to divide
10:28
Speaker 2: them and all that stuff, right, So.
10:30
Speaker 1: I'm learning, like, you know, you you fall in love
10:32
Speaker 1: it's all the beauty. It's like the kisses and you
10:34
Speaker 1: build a family and then you go through something like
10:36
Speaker 1: this and it becomes complete business. It's like paperwork, negotiations, division.
10:42
Speaker 2: You have to accept it or not. I don't accept that. Well,
10:45
Speaker 2: you have mediation, all types of you go.
10:48
Speaker 3: Again and gets continued.
10:49
Speaker 2: You got to schedule your schedules. Crazy. His schedule might
10:52
Speaker 2: be all over the place, all the way down to
10:55
Speaker 2: the dog you guys, pets and stuff like that.
10:57
Speaker 1: It's down to the recliner chair to listen.
11:02
Speaker 3: Who gets that?
11:03
Speaker 2: So you have to say who gets Yes, you have
11:05
Speaker 2: to agree on it, an agreement yes. So that shit
11:12
Speaker 2: got you fucked up.
11:15
Speaker 1: And this when I'm like take it all Like, you
11:17
Speaker 1: get to that point too where you're like I don't
11:19
Speaker 1: want to fight, you know, and you really learn like
11:22
Speaker 1: these things don't matter, you know, because the headache or
11:25
Speaker 1: just give it up and I'll get it back.
11:27
Speaker 4: Some people be petty too.
11:29
Speaker 2: Some people just gets petty when it's when the emotions
11:32
Speaker 2: and the love is gone and people don't care and
11:36
Speaker 2: it's fucked up. I always feel like that shouldn't be
11:39
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be like that, because you know you were
11:41
Speaker 2: once in love with that person, So let's just keep
11:43
Speaker 2: it as amicable as possible, exactly. But when it's not
11:47
Speaker 2: like that, it's it could be evil. It becomes yes,
11:50
Speaker 2: which leads me to our next segment. It's called the
11:54
Speaker 2: mental health checking. Yeah. Man, so we're big mental health advocates.
12:00
Speaker 2: You know, I got I got a wife, two baby, moments,
12:03
Speaker 2: five kids. Uh so I go to therapy. It's important.
12:09
Speaker 2: Essential what I'm saying, it's essential, and I do things
12:11
Speaker 2: where I set boundaries in my life. That's one time
12:15
Speaker 2: for my little bro right here. He I feel like
12:18
Speaker 2: I've introduced him into the mental health work space where
12:21
Speaker 2: you have to decompress at the end of the day.
12:24
Speaker 2: You can't run the whole day. You're running the whole day.
12:28
Speaker 2: That sh it is terrible for your mental health. You
12:31
Speaker 2: gotta turn it off. So when Drew's having a moment,
12:35
Speaker 2: because I learned from Money Long, you can't say someone's
12:37
Speaker 2: having a bad day. Some people may have moments, they
12:39
Speaker 2: don't bad days. So if you're having a moment, or
12:43
Speaker 2: if you call it a bad day, what do you do?
12:45
Speaker 2: Do you talk to somebody and are you in therapy?
12:48
Speaker 1: I definitely, you know, love the conversation you a little
12:51
Speaker 1: close to the microphone me because we got to hear this.
12:55
Speaker 1: I call it mental health mishaps, you know, because it's
12:58
Speaker 1: just like you said, it's a moment and you mess up.
13:01
Speaker 1: You know, it's a oops, it's a okay. And I
13:03
Speaker 1: think we all have a certain level of mental health.
13:05
Speaker 1: That's why it's so for for us to.
13:06
Speaker 3: Take care of it.
13:07
Speaker 1: Like we work out our bodies, you know, but we
13:10
Speaker 1: have to work out our brain because you can't see it.
13:12
Speaker 3: So I actually had a brain scan. Shout out to
13:15
Speaker 3: the aim and Clinic.
13:15
Speaker 1: They did a brain scan because I wanted to know
13:18
Speaker 1: like the trauma and what to do about it. So yeah,
13:22
Speaker 1: they work with like football players, you know, bac concussions
13:25
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But I found out, you know,
13:27
Speaker 1: everything about my brain and the therapy that I specifically need.
13:32
Speaker 1: So when you talk about a therapist, like my therapist
13:34
Speaker 1: has it and he's like, this is what we need
13:35
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know specifically, And I think that's important.
13:38
Speaker 1: I think we have to normalize the conversation because we
13:40
Speaker 1: see so many people that appear to be normal, and
13:43
Speaker 1: we have to eliminate that because then you're surprised when
13:46
Speaker 1: they're no longer they take their life or you know,
13:48
Speaker 1: they fall, you know, to addictions.
13:50
Speaker 3: So it's like, let's talk about it as.
13:53
Speaker 1: Actually our community more than ever because we used to say,
13:55
Speaker 1: oh they crazy, Oh they crazy. No, you know, now
13:58
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know they say like the old the
14:00
Speaker 1: elderly would be like, oh they see now, well my
14:02
Speaker 1: dad had Alzheimer's. It's like that is actual diagnosis that
14:05
Speaker 1: requires like medical attention. So, you know, I think it's
14:08
Speaker 1: really important for me. I pray a lot. You know,
14:11
Speaker 1: I'm God fearing. I have a very strong mother that
14:13
Speaker 1: instilled that in me, and also therapy, therapy and really
14:17
Speaker 1: taking care of myself holistically, because you can't take care
14:20
Speaker 1: of one body function without taking care of the others.
14:22
Speaker 1: So physically finding time to take care of myself, mentally, emotionally,
14:26
Speaker 1: you know, spiritually, all of that I think goes together.
14:29
Speaker 1: So that's important. So well, I had to go through everything,
14:34
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, where you're completely broken, you like, Okay,
14:36
Speaker 1: how do I.
14:37
Speaker 3: Put this back together? And literally this has been the
14:39
Speaker 3: journey for the last two years.
14:40
Speaker 1: You know that I have to do and I have kids,
14:42
Speaker 1: so it's important for them to see me as healthy
14:45
Speaker 1: as possible too.
14:47
Speaker 2: Because being a mom is a lot, a lot, a lot.
14:50
Speaker 2: I don't think moms get enough credit. My wife. My
14:53
Speaker 2: wife put me through the She put me through it
14:57
Speaker 2: on this in a positive way. Most recent baby, she
15:01
Speaker 2: was like, look, you will have a baby because I asked.
15:03
Speaker 2: I actually asked her to have this last recent baby,
15:05
Speaker 2: she's on one years old. She was like, look, you
15:08
Speaker 2: gonna be there all the time. He'd be laughing at me.
15:11
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, I'm changing diapers right now. Bro, Because
15:14
Speaker 2: she put it on me and I kept saying, yo,
15:17
Speaker 2: I don I don't have one if it was like
15:20
Speaker 2: all this, so I say that to same. I didn't know.
15:23
Speaker 2: I was ignorant to the fact of how much it
15:26
Speaker 2: takes to raise a child, let alone multiple ones. This
15:30
Speaker 2: is me at forty one admitting that. Damn. I'm over
15:34
Speaker 2: here thinking, oh, yeah, she got it. She good listen.
15:38
Speaker 2: And therapy has also encouraged me to be transparent. Ooh,
15:43
Speaker 2: so I did again. I'm healing shit that I dealt
15:47
Speaker 2: with fifteen twenty years ago. But I can talk about
15:52
Speaker 2: it now because I'm over here because I had to
15:54
Speaker 2: admit it. I tell you. I'm a re I'm a
15:57
Speaker 2: reg this guy. See me in my worst and Mama drama.
16:01
Speaker 2: She was all over I'm drinking, I'm smoking and alcohol
16:06
Speaker 2: at the same time. I'm leaving. I'm looking for the
16:09
Speaker 2: I'm looking for the I'm looking for everything. I'm over here.
16:12
Speaker 2: I don't even go out unless it's a highly paid situation. Anyway.
16:17
Speaker 3: I say that because you're fulfilled.
16:20
Speaker 2: I didn't know how rich I was. That had nothing
16:22
Speaker 2: to do with money exactly. So again, I'm just sharing
16:26
Speaker 2: this because I could feel the energy. It's positive and
16:30
Speaker 2: maybe maybe you needed to hear it too, But I
16:33
Speaker 2: could tell you're a good mom.
16:35
Speaker 3: Thank you.
16:36
Speaker 2: You're doing the best that you can to handle what's
16:40
Speaker 2: around you. So if I could you know what I'm saying.
16:43
Speaker 1: That and to you, because that's real big and that's
16:46
Speaker 1: real deep.
16:47
Speaker 2: Well, you know, man, we're not taught to talk to
16:48
Speaker 2: express our feelings. So I think I don't know your
16:52
Speaker 2: ex husband, but I don't. I just I feel like
16:55
Speaker 2: once we learn how to express ourselves, we could communicate
16:58
Speaker 2: that because I'm learning. I learned with my baby mamas
17:02
Speaker 2: that I didn't communicate correctly. I fucked that up. We
17:06
Speaker 2: could have ended the relationship, but I didn't communicate well.
17:09
Speaker 2: One of them was my high school girlfriend, my second
17:11
Speaker 2: one was a college but I never communicated I was cheating,
17:15
Speaker 2: cheated on both, but I didn't communicate that I wanted
17:18
Speaker 2: to leave. I just was like, all right, cool whatever,
17:19
Speaker 2: let me just do my thing. Wow. And then I
17:22
Speaker 2: don't give a fuck about how she feels. And then
17:24
Speaker 2: it led into a whole bunch of drama, all type
17:26
Speaker 2: of shit. I could have prevented all that. Yeah, So
17:28
Speaker 2: you know, again, we're not taught to express ourselves like shit,
17:32
Speaker 2: this shit ain't working. I want to leave, Yes, tell
17:37
Speaker 2: you that, Yes, you know what I'm saying, don't tell
17:40
Speaker 2: it to you. But again, this is me. I don't
17:42
Speaker 2: even think we I didn't learn to use my feelings
17:44
Speaker 2: until I met my wife. Wow, and that's at thirty two.
17:50
Speaker 2: I didnet did so much bullshit and drama and lied
17:52
Speaker 2: the whole time before that. But you know, this feels
17:55
Speaker 2: like a therapy search that.
17:56
Speaker 3: Is major, Like I clap it up. You need a
17:58
Speaker 3: master class at this point, is lacking.
18:02
Speaker 2: It's it's the EQ for me again, Like I this year,
18:06
Speaker 2: this past Christmas, I'm just looking at my kids and
18:09
Speaker 2: my family and there I was like, man, I'm good.
18:10
Speaker 2: Like I didn't know. I didn't realize how much I
18:13
Speaker 2: have grown as a person because I'm over thinking. I'm
18:16
Speaker 2: thinking the jury is gonna help. I'm thinking the diamonds
18:19
Speaker 2: and the Rolex. I'm thinking all that's gonna help. But
18:21
Speaker 2: it's just a temporary fix. I'm just learning, like, oh,
18:25
Speaker 2: you got to have such and such amount of money
18:27
Speaker 2: in your account, and then when you get it, you'll
18:28
Speaker 2: be over here like all right, or when you succeed
18:31
Speaker 2: in something that you wanted all your whole life, you
18:33
Speaker 2: get there and be like, damn, I don't got nobody
18:35
Speaker 2: to share it with. Like you make it to the
18:38
Speaker 2: finished line and you don't have nobody to share with.
18:40
Speaker 2: It's fucked up. So you know, let's talk about the music.
18:46
Speaker 3: I love it.
18:47
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, some people need to hear this though,
18:49
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, especially coming from from.
18:51
Speaker 2: Learning my voice is valuable. Now. I didn't know that
18:54
Speaker 2: people walk up to us and be like, man, I
18:56
Speaker 2: love to show I love when you said such and such.
18:58
Speaker 2: So that's why we love talking.
19:00
Speaker 3: The past behavior.
19:01
Speaker 2: But it's last we ask you, hey, man, how did
19:04
Speaker 2: you feel it this particular moment, How did you overcome it? Yes,
19:06
Speaker 2: because even if it's one person that heard it.
19:09
Speaker 3: That you did your job, You did your jobiod.
19:11
Speaker 2: So shout out to you and everything that you overcome. Men,
19:14
Speaker 2: whatever you're dealing with shall.
19:15
Speaker 1: Pass, Yes, you said, like my mom and now and
19:18
Speaker 1: this too shall passes what she say to me literally
19:20
Speaker 1: every day, and it does. It does because we get
19:23
Speaker 1: so worked up in the moment and then like two
19:25
Speaker 1: days later, it's like it happened, it's over and you got.
19:28
Speaker 2: Through it, and you was like damn, and then you're like,
19:30
Speaker 2: that wasn't even as bad as I thought exactly.
19:33
Speaker 1: But it's making you strong because then you deal with
19:35
Speaker 1: something else you liked. I thought that was bad, this
19:37
Speaker 1: is and then you get through that. And so iron
19:38
Speaker 1: sharp is iron. So as long as you're open to it.
19:41
Speaker 1: I feel like I try to always be optimistic and
19:43
Speaker 1: look at the glass half full. This may seem bad
19:46
Speaker 1: for now, but I do feel like it's a bigger plan, right,
19:48
Speaker 1: because everybody has a purpose, and so what you're going through,
19:51
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, what you're gonna do. We
19:53
Speaker 1: can share in that, but we can also uplift each
19:54
Speaker 1: other and I think it's a culture. We don't do
19:56
Speaker 1: that enough because we don't communicate you.
20:00
Speaker 2: That does a lot.
20:01
Speaker 4: I feel like the Internet does a lot to have
20:03
Speaker 4: to do with that, especially when people are only showing
20:06
Speaker 4: their highlights on social media, and you know, it gives
20:09
Speaker 4: people a sense of like somebody life is better. Right
20:12
Speaker 4: if you look, there's always somebody like you look on
20:15
Speaker 4: instagramm Like, damn, like that's a better than mine?
20:18
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Why didn't you be more
20:21
Speaker 3: like him?
20:21
