  Speaker 1: Kranzvick is here, keVs Deal. Welcome man. For people who
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: don't know who you are what you do, you are
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a fixture in the LA hip hop scene. Rosecrans Ave
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is the platform that you I think a few years
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: ago is when I first kind of started checking out
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: what you were doing, kind of give everyone a background
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and like what it is you do and and like
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you're kind of your background in the LA hip hop scene. Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So basically I started a blog like maybe like six
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: going on seven years ago called rosecrans Av, And basically
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: my whole thing was just I wanted to document like
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the underground LA artists that weren't getting played on radio
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: or weren't getting any attention by like Complex or anything
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like that. Right, So I was like, you know what,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck about the big artists. You know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get picked up by all these other blogs.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just focus on finding like the new talent
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and growing with them, you know what I mean. So
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that's what I try to do. I just taught myself
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: how to write, you know, just really nobody like gave
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a fuck for like three years, which was cool because
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I got to like fuck up and like not have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a large audience in front of me, you know what
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I mean. So like that was actually kind of cool
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: when I look back, because I fucked up so much.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You learn on the go, and not a lot of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: people were looking exactly. So I did that and nobody
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: really started to give a fuck until we booked oh
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: three Greedo at a show at the Echo and it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was like a Monday night and we brought like the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: whole city out, and then everybody was like, oh shit,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: like damn, like everybody's paying attention to Grito. Now he
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: got picked up by like the Fader, right and all
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: these different places started paying attention to him. And then
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: we did it again with Shoreline Mafia the next month,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and then you know, we had our podcast on Dash Radio,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Grose Frands Radio, and then people just started really paying
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: attention to like what we were doing, just started giving
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a fuck in general. And so who like who were
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: kind of like the core artists for you guys like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: as far as who you were kind of getting behind
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: early on definitely Draco, Draco the Ruler, Grito, Shoreline, who
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: else there was like the Azy Cold. It was just
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like this, you know, really even blue Face. You know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we were on blue Face early. We just got behind
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: every LA artist early, even like Roddy Rich like I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: wrote about him in like twenty seventeen, right right, you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Kaylin, All these people I just
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: kind of watched them grow and I thought they were dope.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't know they would grow up to be like
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: mega stars, you know, necessarily like like Roddy or anything
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, I just saw them grow and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I thought they were talented and I liked the music,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, obviously, what I've noticed about the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: new generation of LA for the most part, you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: because obviously sometimes politics gets involved and people really can't
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: work with each other. But like, for the most part,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it seems like there's a whole wave of LA artists
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years that have worked with each other,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: embraced each other, kind of had some camaraderie. Yeah, And
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that was kind of always the hang up about LA,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you know, because people would always be like Atlanta every
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: once together, you know, like yeah, but I feel like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: there's been a movement where everyone is, you know, for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the most part, moving in the same direction. You know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously there's, like I said, there's there's there's some beef,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: there's some dumb shit. But is that something that you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: noticed as well, and like if, like, why do you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: think that is? That was like really a goal of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: mine to create really create a community so that other
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: artists can be aware of other artists. But I think
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's like three things. I think it's the fact that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: not too many of the popping rappers are gangbanging, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: what I mean, like a few of them are, but
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not too many of them are. Two. I feel like
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we had a lot to do with it as far
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: as booking shows. We book everybody on the lineup. Everybody
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: comes and meets each other. Okay, that guy's cool, Okay,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: rights up, you know what I mean. It's just like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a community gets built after a while. And then the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: other is just like the fact that everybody's winning, everybody's eating,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Like you can't really be that mad when you have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: money in your pocket, you know what I mean. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: like it's like, yeah, this dude is like selling Hello
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: albums or whatever. He's like everyone signed a TK. Yeah, yeah,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that has something to do with it. Yeah, But it's like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know, if everybody's really winning and it's not a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: bunch of like hungry people, like there's not much to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fight about, you know what I'm saying. So I feel
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: like it's like those three factors. Yeah, I think too.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Like what I thought was really important and dope was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: when Grido and RJ did the show and nothing happened.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Oh that was incredible. I like that fact that that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was insane and I was like, I'm not going to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that show. Yeah, I remember me and headwards head was like,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to that. Fuck that ship. And then
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the next day it was like, yo, that ship was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a beautiful situation. That was like the first versus down
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: there low key if you think about it, and the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: fact that like nothing happened like it almost kind of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like to me, kind of showed everybody like, hey, look
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you cause you know with LA that the certain shit
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is just it seems as if it's impossible to change, right,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and something like that to me showed everybody like, hey,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: look like there's another way to go about this. All
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of the whole were there, nothing happened. It's you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's just like they're
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: getting money. So what again? Was there like there's not
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: too much to be mad about. You know, who do
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you consider uh, out of the last five years in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: LA hip hop to be like the guy like the goat? Uh?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like I would think Draco, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but also like on a major, major scale, I would
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: say Roddy. Yeah. I mean, let's say, let's sake Riddy okay,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: because he's two years okay, so that I'll say Draco.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Draco because he went to jail for three years, got
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: his spot back and elevated if anything, like, oh yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he's going crazy, you know what I'm saying, Like that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what I was just talking to him about like last week.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, like you were gone for three years,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: but really more almost like five because before he came
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: out for like two months, he was locked up for
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like another like a year and a half like before then.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So like for the majority of the past five years
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he's been locked up and his career is just still booming.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You know. He got out and just got to it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I think he had Like I felt like
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: he recorded an album like it was already done. Like
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a WEEKND was like him. I was like, bro, you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you got out of jailing with straight to the booths,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: straight to literally straight to it. And so you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: but everybody you know gives him that that respect though,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like everybody, yeah, like shit,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he's doing it well, can we say, you know, he's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: really like him? And then if he co signs an
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: artist like that artist starts to blow and stuff like that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So with the Latin ship that's going on, I saw
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you were just part of that. Photos a lot of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the lat like Mexican guys who were in town, C
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and G and all those guys. But you know, there's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a whole nother movement going on there that's fucking amazing
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: out of Lay just in general. But what what it like? Like,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: what do you think when it comes to like because
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I always said, like when I was growing up, like
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: when I thought I'm from Phoenix, so MC magic was
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like god right, oh yeah, And I was like, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: working at car shows and ship but like the Mexican
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: rap that was really popular was the Chicano rap. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to me, I mean Little Rock got classics. MC Magic
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: got classics. But I always felt like there was ad
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you had to be. It was almost like made specifically
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for for for for the people who got that. Yeah,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it wasn't very inclusive to random. I feel like like
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of the new Latin MC's that are doing
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: their thing, like they make dope shit and they happen
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to be Mexican. That's really the key, you know what
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I mean? Because a lot of like me growing up,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: like I had like a period of time where I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: did like the Chicano wrap stuff. I was into them
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: C Magics and and all that, But then I just
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: kind of grew out of it because I wasn't like
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a gang banger. I didn't relate too much of the things.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I liked the music, you know, but like it's almost
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: like it's in such like a cult like fan base
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: that you couldn't really get out of that box. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: they could have a million views, like fucking High Power Records.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: High Power Records, shit, I bet records. They'd have them
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: booths that the fucking car shows. The ships would be booming,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and then they have random albums with like Busy Bone
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and Ship. Yeah they were, they were doing it on
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the independence hid you could buy them at like warehouse,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: shoesell and Ship. Like, But yeah, I think that like
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's something that like it's like now there's artists where
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it's like, yo, you could be a fan of this
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: guy and be you know whoever. You don't have to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: be a Mexican to like, you know, like the music
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is just good, you know. That's yeah, that's the whole goal.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And that's what I see everybody doing. Like we had
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like that meeting yesterday and it was dope because yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: like they're just dope artists who happened to be Mexican
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that some of them probably don't even speak Spanish, like
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they don't incorporate Spanish into their lyrics or anything like that.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It's just like they grew up in La. They're Mexican.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They have you know, homies that are black, white, Chinese everything,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know, and they just they rap like you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and they're good. What was give us the inside of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the meeting yesterday because I saw a few people post it. Yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: it was. It was pretty dope. Basically, we pulled up
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to uh Abner Mars, you know a fighter. Yeah, he
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: has a spot in like Bell Gardens restaurant, and so
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we all just pulled up and basically like they're just planning.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, like the cool thing is that everybody knows
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: each other, but it's it was like still like a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: mixer because you're still meeting people face to face and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: feeling people's energy and stuff like that. But like they're
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: planning on doing like a cipher fire, you know what
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, like something like that to where everybody gets
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: on a song and then possibly you know, go on
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: like a tour. All LA artists, yeah, all LA. Well,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: there's some like little weirdos from like San Diego. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: then there's great name by the way, I know right yeah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in La it was like a little weird he's a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: great guy. It's funny. I'm like, what she can change
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the name that sounds like that. That sounds like he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: might have had a Caponi record back the day, like
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: little Weirdo features sounds right, by the way, mister Caponi
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: not Mexican, not Mexican at all. I think it's from Iran.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: He's Iranian. He's our Indian by the way. Doesn't take
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: away from like you know, he's he's man. But but
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I when I found out, I was like, really, it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: blew everybody's mind. When I was like, nah, that's a joke,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like somebody's trolling or something, I was like, no, it's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: really real. And I met him and then like super
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: nice guy. Yeah yeah, And then I'm just kind of
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: looking like yeah, it's probably yeah, yeah, he's Indian. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: coming out it is there gonna be like a compilation
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: project or is it just gonna just like almost like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: an open network where now we all know each other,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: now we can all work together that it's that. I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be like a whole album. Possibly
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that was probably only like the second meeting
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: in the first one I attended. So I think the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: goal is just to like to get on a tour

  Speaker 1: that was pretty dope. We put it out like a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: month ago, So that's cool like that. But I do
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: want to work on an album, but I know I'm
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: gonna have to like book out, like blackout like two
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: months of my schedule or something to like I'm gonna
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: just get this shit done, to ignore damn near everything else.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Who's somebody in La right now that we don't know
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that we're that you think has got all the tools
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to be the next star to La Remble Ramble You
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: heard of Rambul? I have not. So he got a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Draco co sign. He almost sounds a little like Draco,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: but I feel like everyone sounds a little one yeah
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: at this point. But he he's twenty years old and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: like he has probably like four songs out, but you
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: can tell how smart he is, how like his wordplay
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and everything is like just next level. He did a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: song called like a Ted Talk and then the video
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: is like him doing like a Ted Talk and then
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he's like thank you all for listening. Like it's just
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he's on like the next level like creativity, especially for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: being that young. And he's like, you know, street dude,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So he has that element to him. And yeah, like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: labels are already like on his head. Yeah. So I honestly,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: if I were like to put my money on anybody, yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And I have no affiliation. I've never spoken to him anything.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I just you don't even know. No, is it like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: like have you noticed, Like because you've built yourself into
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a position where you're a lot of people look to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you in the LA scene, Like is it like a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: gifting a curse? Yeah, sometimes, because you know, people will
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: be mad if like I don't fuck with them or something,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, isn't that crazy? Like
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you can tell someone like, hey, man, do your thing,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the music, but like and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they'll like hate, like they'll take that personal, like you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: want me to just like lie or like if I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: don't want to pull up to like studio sessions or
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: like it's just like I don't want to listen to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: shitty music for like two hours, Like what do you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: want me to do? Someone just asked me about you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was my boy Ace about Beans. Oh yeah, okay, Like,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: hey you know this rosecrans dude. I was like, rosecrans
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Vig He's like I think so He's like, yeah, he's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the worth happening to me. I was like, yeah, man,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he's fucking living la man. I was like, Beans is crazy.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: She's fine. What give me your cause? I think obviously
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the odd most obvious next Superstar to Las Blast, you
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, aside from that, that's like obvious,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: but like that's like the no brain, He's out of here,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you know, Like you know, Head had put me on
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the Blast a long time ago because his Head tried
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to sign Blast and uh, yeah, the dude's out of here,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, like, were you like
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: hip to Blast like before he was before he put
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: out the like the tape with Beano or was that
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: something because like, man, you know he does it all. Yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I wasn't as hip to him as I as I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: would like to be. Like I had heard the name.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I definitely had. I had heard a song called I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Think like Fallen and this was like and then there's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: another one called Body, and I was just like, damn,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: these are dope, but I just listened to the singles.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't really like go the extra mount and like
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: look him up on YouTube or all you know all that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: But then going back like after he put out the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: song with Bino and the tape and everything, then I
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: like was like, oh I had heard of him before
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: because he was in a group called King and Blast
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and it was like a duo but like to me,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like and there, and they presented themselves as like ie
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: artists and then that King dude like no shade, like
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: he just wasn't very good. So like I think that
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was like it probably came across my radar, but it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't memorable because I heard like one whack dude and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was just like, yeah, I'm good. And you know, it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: just stuff like that happens. Because there's like a song
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: from probably like two years ago that I went back
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and looked up and I was like, dude, this song
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is the blast. Part of this song is incredible and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: then the other and it has like two thousand views
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to this day probably, So it's just and it's it's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: something like that. But I wish I would have been
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: more hip on him, but he wasn't putting out solo
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: music for that long before he blew up. Really nah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: for sure, you got the show on No Jumper Mad
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: lately about to do thirty episodes or just we just
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: hit thirty. We just hit thirty yep. So congrats on that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Once a week, yeah, every Monday, So
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: every Monday, it's you, Gabe. See I forget the young
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: lady's name is Ginaviews. How did that come come to be? So? Adam?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I know, I've been knowing Adam for like three years now, no,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: probably four, Yeah, for since like twenty seventeen, like around
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the time where like Shoreline was blowing up, Greto, all them.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: We just kept running into each other and I had
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: them on my podcast once and then after that, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: would just like send them emails of like dope videos
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that I thought were dope, and then he'd be like, cool,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this on the No Jump or YouTube.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And I just kept like a constant line of communication
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: with him for a while, and you know, like we'd
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: run into each other certain places. I think he started
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to grow like more of a respect for me, because
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of places he would be I would be
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I wasn't rolling out
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: of Miami. He wasn't rolling out of Miami. I wasn't
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: rolling out of New York. He was there any concerts
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: backstage like he see me. I was just hustling, you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So, like we just grew like
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a cool relationship, and then at the beginning of twenty twenty,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he like said he wanted to meet went to his
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: office and then he was like, yeah, I want you
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to do like a podcast or something. He's like, not
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: rosecrans radio. I want you to do something different. And
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I was like all right, cool, and then like COVID
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: happened and then so like everything just kind of pushed
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: back and all that stuff. And then he hit me
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: again in like August, I want to say August or
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: September and was like, hey, you know, did you want
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to do that podcast? Still? Like we're about to, you know,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: have some more podcasts on here. And I was like
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: fuck yeah, And I said, give me like three four
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: days to come up with like a concept and a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: name and everything. And so came up with the name,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: recruited my co host, you know, I hit Gina, I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: hit Gabe, and then we did like a photo shoot
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and I shot everything to him in like three four days.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He was like, oh shit. I was like ready to go. Yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: He's like, you guys are ready to go. I'm like, yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: we're fucking ready to go. What's some because you were
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: doing the rosecrans radio. What is like the like something
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that you learned doing because it's kind of a different
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: type of thing. So like, yeah, you know, with any
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: with anything, you get better as time goes. But what's
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: something you had to kind of like learn from making
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the switch and doing Mad Lately streamed on youtubes or
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: people commenting Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's just a way
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: different platform, So I approach it differently. Like rosecrans radio
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: was just like me interviewing artists or talking, you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: not too deeply. I wasn't really trying to like make
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: people laugh anything too much. Like it was just kind
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of like a I wanted to had like a more
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: serious tone on there, I guess you could say. But
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: then I'm like, okay, we're going to a jumper, like
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: they have a certain audience. So yeah, you guys are
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: definitely shooting the shit now, you know what I'm saying.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, we have to turn it up to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a certain extent or people are gonna call us boring
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And the funny thing is that, like the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: way I am I'm Mad Lately, like that's really the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: real mes you Yeah, you know what I'm saying when
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I'm out with my homies and stuff like that. So
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck it, I'm gonna just put myself on
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: display and like it like ruins my life, but it
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: like makes it way better at the same time because
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I'm a little too honest sometimes and it's dope, you know.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Gabe, who's somebody who's very underrated figure
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and now, oh yeah, definitely. I always say he's kind
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: of like Power one oh six is like sauce. Yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: like a lot of that ship that gets played late
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: at night. Hell yeah, put all them dudes on for
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'd be tricking gave into liking some ships and we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: were trying to steal into Real ninety two three for
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a while. I heard about that. He was definitely trying. Yeah,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: but yeah, no, shout out to him. What's next for
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: obviously you want to put out more music, but what
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: is next for your platform and for you just doing
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: more shows? We have Don't Come to a La. We
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: we filmed that, and to give a little backstory, you
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: did like a south By thing called Don't Come to
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: l a t. Yeah. So that's so we did a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: concert series back in twenty eighteen where we booked everybody
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like that's popping in La besides Draco and greeted because
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: they were locked up but we had like blue Face,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Routchy Azy Chike, one Take Jay, everybody like Hella Early,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So we had all them. We really created that community
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Jpriko all them. And we only did five shows, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: every single one of those shows was like incredible. We
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: had like Scrillicks pull up Dot Kennedy J three oh five,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Like the crowd was even more star studied sometimes than
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: like the performers. Hey Texas dude back on my phone,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: ooh nice, Yeah, Freddie Gibbs pulled up to perform. Wow,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like fred pull to perform
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: with two eleven. Oh it makes sense. Yeah yeah yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: so one BPS. Like we just had like a crazy
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: amount of like special guests always and it was such
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a dope vibe. So we made sure to like never
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: dilute that brand, right, and we only did We only
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: did it when we knew it could be dope, right.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: So we did five and then we did another one
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in south By. That's when we brought out Reason, We
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: brought out Rouchie Kaalin, We just nardwar pulled up like
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: it was crazy. It was incredible. Andrew Barber was there,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: like it was an incredible show. And we've been for
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the last two years, we've been trying to put it
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: together to do it again, but like conflicting schedules. Cyprus
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: was on tour for like two years straight with Troline,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Jeff and I were busy. So this past weekend we
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: just recorded, like we're gonna do like a live stream
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: type thing, yeah, but also we're gonna make it more
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: like of a documentary like I guess you could say
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: like a almost like a fade to Black. I mean,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that's like obviously the best case in course of course,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: but something like that, you know what I mean, to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: document document the old shows, put interviews in there, you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, all that stuff, so like really
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: make it like a timeless piece that people can watch
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: twenty years from now and be like, oh, Okay, this
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: was this era, you know. So like we filmed the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: performance aspects of it. Probably in about two weeks, we're
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: going to perform, like we're gonna do the interviews right
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and just you know, have the editors put all the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: sauce on it and then hopefully release it like in June.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Last thing, where do you see LA going music wise
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in the next five years? Like like because I always say,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: like there's been so many artists who I thought should
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: have been bigger to come out of LA over the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: last ten years or so, like someone like Joe Moses,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like there's like guys who
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: like man like RJ's a perfect example. But I don't
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: know what the disconnect was that didn't escalate as big
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: outside of LA as we had hoped. And I think
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that's with some of the newer generation. There's some potential there,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. What do you like, where
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: do you see things going? Man? I mean, if we
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: can get by the way RJ and Joe Moses aren't done. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: not at all, you know what I mean. But I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: think if if LA continues to build like a strong
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: community and have a lot of like key people behind
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the scenes making these moves that will actually cross brand
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to with artists in Atlanta, with an artist in like
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: New York and you know, across the globe, then I
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: think we have the talent to really like run shit like.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm obviously super biased, but like you have Blast,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you have Bino, you have Kalin, you have all these
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: artists that don't only make West Coast music no matter
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: where they're at That's what I'm saying. We have Roddy,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you know. So it's like we have all different types
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of artists. We have Draco doing songs with Osuna and
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Drake and stuff like that, you know what I mean.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So I honestly like in the next five years, like
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: everybody stays on their ship, doesn't get complacent, you know,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and happy with just making like ten bands of show
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It's like, I think we could
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: really run shit there. It is rosecranz Vic Bouakead Podcast.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you, bro. Perfect
