• 8:03
  I did, like, two years of community college, but then I left it. And then I love the music. I love teaching. Like, since I was Chiquito, you know, I've loved that shit, and I didn't have no family member or any friends that were DJs. It was just all me. And I used to just take my friends to the club after, like I was 17 with a, you know, fake ID getting into these clubs, meeting the DJs, meeting the you know, how how these guys do this.
• 8:29
  How how they, you know, they DJ, how they perform. So Right. I just fell in love with it. And then one day, one of my cousins came from DR. She's a girl. She had her body done.

I had two jobs. I used to do Nordica, and then I used to clean banks.
• 10:11
  Right. And then while I while I was doing that, I was just listening to mixes and all that stuff, just studying. You know?
• 10:17
  I love that. This is the part that I like people to understand. Like, look. I had two jobs. I was packing a club, but I had two jobs, yo. You know what I'm saying? Like, but you gotta put in the work to be where you at.

Back then, all the right, it it my man George had the shop, and I used to sell the mixtapes to him. Because it used to be a record store slash barbershop slash shop. That's what's up. I like that.

• 12:57
  And I was actually working with Renee McLean's younger brother, Sharif.
• 13:01
  And and at this time, I was starting to cook.
• 13:06
  Right? I was cooking in the street, not cooking, like, behind the stove. I was, like, yo, I had to be there, like, 8AM in the morning. And I remember doing clubs till, like, four, and I was like, yo. This is killing me, bro. I don't know if I can make it to 8AM every day.
• 13:21
  So I would come late a few times during the week, and Sharif would, like, punch me in and work for me and then tell the bosses, oh, yeah. He's he's here.
• 13:29
  He just wants to get a a breakfast sandwich. So He went he went on a break for a second, but he'd be back.
• 13:34
  But he was doing that for me for a couple of weeks, and then and then one day I said, yo, bro. I might have to just leave the job. It's so that's okay. When did you arrive at that moment? And you was like, alright. I could pay the bills with just the DJ related stuff. When did you arrive there? So I got into the club 2010. That 2010 was when my cousin put me on with the owner. So then I had a little run till, like, 2011 late because the people that I was work I wasn't really known into the in the industry. I was just known from outside. So they put a DJ better DJ than me because he had his vinyl. He had his Rane mixer. He had everything. I didn't have I have Virtual DJ.
• 14:11
  They're like, nah. We don't keep this guy.
• 14:13
  So I was getting no bookings, so I had to get another job. I used to work for this cable company. I don't know.
• 14:19
  I had to build some bullshit, some brackets for some cables. I was there for, like, a whole year. And then they brought me to the office. At that time, I was doing I was doing gigs Thursday, Friday, but I was still working full time, ten to seven. I remember. That was 2013.
• 14:34
  Then they brought me to the office. They're like, yo. You coming in too late. I don't know what you wanna do. You wanna give it another try, or you just wanna be I'm like, I'm I'm out of here. I'm out of here.
• 14:44
  At that time, I was only making 50 to $100 of booking. I wasn't nothing. But I had a apartment in Central Falls, $600 rent. I was like, you know what? I'll figure it out. And this is in Rhode Island? Rhode Island.
• 14:55
  Rhode Island. Yo. So what's the what's the environment in Rhode Island now?
• 15:01
  Compare it to East New York, Brooklyn. What's the difference?
• 15:05
  Yo, Rhode Island. That'd be hood. Don't get it fucked up. Yeah. It's okay. Okay. It's wanna I wanna know. I wanna hear It got a little bit of New York in it. You know? Providence is really, like, very cultural. A lot of Dominicans over there. A lot of you know, it's very diverse. A lot of Cape Verdeans.
• 15:20
  Yep. Okay. A lot of Cape Verdeans. But for the me part, I mean, they they they really party. You know? I I I can't believe that I really made my name in Rhode Island. That's, something that There was there was one summer I played in Rhode Island, and we hit a strip.
• 15:34
  I forget the strip. It's it's definitely in Providence. It's probably Atwells Ave or Federal Hill.
• 15:39
  Yo. That strip, man. Yo. It Y'all heard they got really good food in in Italian.
• 15:44
  Yeah. It's Italian. And, like, Colombian food.
• 15:47
  That strip that strip reminded me of old New York, bro. Because all I saw was trucks, bikes, loud music.
• 15:52
  Oh, that's Broad Street. You mean Broad Street? That's Broad Street.
• 15:56
  Broad Street in Providence. Fucking lit, bro. And I was like, you you you you had the firefighters over here. The fucking down the block, the the the chimichurri truck was popping.
• 16:07
  Yo. It was crazy. I was like and me and Lou, like, yo. This is, fucking New York. Like, old New York. Like, it was crazy. It was crazy because my dad, he unfortunately, he got locked up in'07.
• 16:18
  He got locked up, so I was staying with my stepmother.
• 16:21
  And before, when I was living with him, he didn't want me in Providence. He said, you're not going over there.
• 16:26
  But Providence is where it's at. You know?
• 16:28
  I was living in Pawtucket, Central Falls. It's like, Pawtucket. The Bucket. The bucket. You know?
• 16:34
  Mhmm. He's like, you're not going to Ponce.
• 16:35
  So once he had to turn himself in, I started going to Providence. I'm like, this motherfucker, he kept me away from what I really wanted, you know, to be a part of. And then once I started getting into Providence, that's when I was like, you know what? Full throttle. And and I mean, it's so when I lost my job when I left my job, 50, I started I started, like, talking to these promoters. I'm like, yo. I don't have a job right now. I didn't get booked. And I don't know. They just like my vibe, they just kept booking me, and then shit just went crazy.
• 17:06
  That's it. Yo. Real quick. For, like, the young DJs out there, can you explain what Virtual DJ is that used to you know?
• 17:13
  It's still alive.
• 17:14
  But But what Virtual DJ is more like a digital type of way of DJ. It's like, right now, how you use Serato with just a laptop, no equipment.
• 17:26
  But back then, it was just you had to learn how to, like, beat match.
• 17:31
  It was just like but I learned with the sync button. I just used to click the sync button, and once I because I didn't have no Right. No CDJ to, like, you know, match it to beat to so I had to, like, press the one of the buttons so I could beat match it.
• 17:45
  And then from there, I just started learning how to beat match, and it was good for me. It was working for me, but it was like a little, know, oh, you use Virtual DJs? Ah, bro.
• 17:55
  You're wacky. You know? Coming over to boojoo if you're the Metropolitan.
• 17:57
  I would've been like, what the fuck is this guy doing? But but listen. I was I respect it because you're self taught, man.
• 18:04
  Right. Right. And you learned this shit, you mastered it, and you got in front of a crowd, and you rocked. And probably rocked better than these guys because you kept they kept calling your ass. Right? Bro, I used to hide for when DJs used to come see me, I used to hide the laptop so they won't see the program of you. Right. Right.
• 18:24
  I I've ran into a couple of those DJs with Precise back in the day, I used to be like, literally, what he know, but Camilo, like, yo. What is that shit? But it sounded good. You know I mean? And Yeah. It worked. You know? You made it work for yourself. And that's another thing you do. Like, you love linking with, like, your audience and your crowd, but you'd be killing that shit on the livestreams and all of that. Yeah. That's why love it. That's your thing. Right? Let's let's get to let's get to that because because now, you know, this is many years later. You're now TikTok heavy. And and I and I know you tell me, yo. You need to get on TikTok every day. Blah blah blah blah. It's an audience and this, and the people follow you, and it it becomes a whole another culture. So let's talk about when you first started TikTok.
• 19:02
  Or this year, live streaming. First, I started on Twitch because it was pandemic.
• 19:08
  Right. And I was just you know when the live stream was late on Instagram?
• 19:12
  Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we all remember that. So then it died down, and then I start I ran into Twitch, and then I see these DJs having these crazy backgrounds and all this green screen shit. I'm like, yo. I'm new to this. What the fuck is this?
• 19:25
  This shit is big. I'm sorry. I don't think it died down IG. I think they kicked us out, bro. No. Yeah. Because of the copyright. That's what I'm saying. Did. I'm like, yo. What the fuck? And then we had no choice. Hey, buddy.
• 19:34
  Twitch. Twitch. Twitch.
• 19:36
  No. TikTok's there now. They it you can't even stream no more on TikTok like that.
• 19:39
  Yeah. You can. Yeah. You can. You can.
• 19:41
  You can go ahead They're gonna start kicking y'all out. Watch anything.
• 19:44
  Mark my words on this show what I told you. What they what they don't what you can't do is post videos of, like, music, but you can livestream.
• 19:53
  You're able to livestream.
• 19:54
  The thing right now, I started I started Twitch 2021.
• 19:58
  I got inspired by, like, looking at these DJs. So I said, you know what? Fuck this. I had a room in my basement.
• 20:06
  I hooked that shit up. I painted it myself. I had a green screen, all this shit. And little by little, I just started learning. You know? I I did all myself.
• 20:14
  I learned all my no nobody nobody streamed at that time on Twitch. So I just learned.
• 20:19
  I went through trials and errors and fucking spent my money. But once I started getting a little audience, I'm like, nah. This shit is lit. Once I started seeing that money motherfucker is dropping 200, 300, 600, going crazy back and forth to send the gifts and shit. That's when I'm like, nah.
• 20:36
  This is a different world right here. And Explain. Now now explain. You gotta have to explain because a lot of people know, but a lot of people don't know what the fuck a gift is. Okay. Good. Okay.
• 20:45
  On TikTok.
• 20:47
  No. Twit TikTok? Okay. On Twitch. You want the TikTok or the Twitch? No. Let's start with the Twitch. Okay. Twitch is is a channel, and they play ads on your channel. You actually you you win you get revenue from that. So every time they watching you and they watch the whole channel the whole ad, you get paid for that.
• 21:06
  So for for you to not get ads, you gotta subscribe to the channel. For us DJs on Twitch, they charge a little bit more, $7.99.
• 21:16
  $2 go to the record labels, and then half of the $5 go to Twitch, and then the rest is yours. So you get, like, two fifty out of every sub. So when people gift subs, that means they're gifting subs to other people in the channel watching this. For example, you y'all three watching me, and there's somebody that is in the channel, they'll send you guys gifted subs.

  So they gifted you guys to to watch my channel for free. Base they basically paid me so y'all could watch for free. So that's what's a gifted sub so you can watch. It lasts one month. And then after that, you're gonna have to, like, resubscribe or whatever. Now on TikTok, gifts, they're valued as some type of you know?
• 21:56
  So for example, 1 coin is 1 rose is 1¢.
• 22:01
  So if they send you a thousand rose, it's a whatever. You know? Right. Right. But now if they send you, like, higher tiers, like lions and, like, all of this, like,$400.
• 22:10
  It's, like, you know, $500.
• 22:13
  Like, right now, the top streamer on TikTok is Tyler River. I know you guys know Tyler River. That motherfucker is killing it right now. Like, he's already he surpassed, I don't know, probably a million dollars already on that shit. Wow. But That's why you don't see him in the clubs no more.
• 22:29
  No. He no. You don't he lives there.
• 22:31
  He I wake up. I see him there, and he's he's there every fucking day. You know? That's the thing about TikTok. They wanna suck your life in there.
• 22:39
  No. Wake up. Stream.
• 22:41
  Stream every day while you're eating, while you they want you to stream because they make money off that. I'm not gonna go to that extent because there's a lot of DJs that dedicate to TikTok, but they lose their brand. They lose their outside brand. They don't get bookings no more.
• 22:56
  They focus on that. And I feel like I'm now on that type of level where I need to, like, be just on TikTok.
• 23:02
  I can make the money, but then I lose myself outside. Like, I won't get enough of bookings and bullshit. So so it's all, like, a a balance that I have with the streaming. But Smart.
• 23:12
  So I I gotta ask you why you're on TikTok. Right? Rocking.
• 23:16
  What's the most anybody's ever sent you?
• 23:19
  Yeah. Yeah. Well, when I first started TikTok on 2023, it was very different. Right now, there's so many rules. US bought it, so there's a lot of, like, bullshit going on. But back then when I started, it was crazy. I was making at least 5 a week. You know? 5,000?
• 23:37
  A week. Yes. Okay.
• 23:40
  Alright. It was going crazy. Hit him. Hit Hit him. Set me up. Five stacks a week, man. But You're gonna beat me up. I'm telling you, you had to be there, Lord. You had to just log in, be there, battle it. Battling when you battle okay. So, basically, I'll explain the battle in the situation. When you battle, you're facing somebody else, you know, another streamer, and it's the community that's battling each other, the chats.
• 24:06
  So whoever in the each which whichever chat you're in, whoever throws the most gifts wins the battle.
• 24:13
  So whoever throws the most money. So if my child is ready, another child so we just it's it's all a competition. That's crazy.
• 24:20
  I everybody reload, go to the website, reload, change $20, $10, and there's strategies. You know? There'd be speeds.
• 24:27
  You could throw a speed, and then the speed will multiply the gift. For example, right, the gift the speed is time five, and you throw a fucking lion, it's gonna time five that fucking lion. Yeah. And it's just gonna make you so it's like a whole strategy game. People love it. They love the chat. You already lost Enuff, L. Boogs, and Camilo, but.
• 24:44
  Navigating. I'm navigating my best, yo. But no. No. Even when I talk to you, I'll be I'll be lost since I'll be, you know, I'll be like, oh, shit. You know?
• 24:54
  What the fuck is this? And I hit you up, like, what's this mean, bro? Like Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. I'm here to explain, but it's just like a friend oh, you wanna battle? You you can still play your music. You still DJ, but you talk to your community and tell them, yo.
• 25:07
  Let's get these motherfuckers.
• 25:07
  Somebody go go recharge.
• 25:10
  Let's throw something, and then people just they like the challenge. They like it. That's that's, like, something that they love. You know? From from when you started TikTok to now, do you see it growing even more, or do you see already, like, it hit the top, and now it's, like Yeah. It's it's a little, like, too Everybody doing the same shit. Listen. I'll be I'll be stream I'll be I'll be scrolling on by, but who the hell is this chick? But, damn, she got 1,400 followers right now. People looking at her, like, just random people. I never heard in my life. And there's a lot of famous artists, celebrities on that shit that's funny. It you get lost in that world. Like And you do. You do. You really do. Like and, you know, people take this that shit seriously. Like Yeah. If, for example, if you had a a shooter, a shooter is somebody that throws bread, that that goes in your chat and goes crazy. And if you lost that if they see that shooter on another stream, they'll get mad at that shooter and start hitting them up. Yo. Why you left me? Why you did that? Like, it's they getting really serious with this. So I'm like, you you guys wilding. You know? Wow. That's what's up. Because there's a lot of peep there's a lot of people that be home.
• 26:14
  You know? Like, they don't go out, and they got fucking, I don't know, checks. Then they fucking they got money. No. But, like, some people depend on whatever y'all throw on them lives. Like, that's I think they say about that. Yeah. You guys are there, like literally, yo. They're entertained.
• 26:26
  They check-in with you like they, you know, really, really know you and shit. Like like, it's a fucking thing, bro. Bro, I'd be I'd be home telling I'm not streaming today. Oh, why you not on? Why you not streaming? I'm like, oh, damn. I can't have a rest day, bro?
• 26:39
  No. That's crazy. Yeah. They get mad. They really get mad. So it's that's a different world, man. It's crazy. Well, listen. That's beautiful that DJs could jump in there and attract a new crowd.
• 26:51
  The the the what I like about it is you just get on there, and when you're DJing I'm talking about when you're DJing, you just play whatever the fuck you want.
• 26:59
  Yeah. You do. You want it. How long you want it? Stop the music. Talk shit.
• 27:04
  Interact. Go back to this. Take them on a ride. You know? That's that's that's the thing that I love about it. Yes. That's why I'm in it. I'm not in it for the money. The money comes late, but I'm there to for my personality.

• 28:57
  Yeah. Now now you from Providence.
• 28:59
  Were were you you know, I'm assuming you were able to play in Boston.
• 29:03
  Yeah.
• 29:04
  On New England. On New England. Right. Yeah.
• 29:07
  And so what was your what was your first big gig out of Providence? Like, let's say, you know, like I'm I'm assuming playing in Boston must have been a big deal for you because it's a bigger city.
• 29:18
  Yeah.
• 29:19
  When I got to I got to Boston first, but I got to the hood Boston.
• 29:23
  I didn't get to, like, the you know?
• 29:24
  Boston is Boston, baby. So I know what I'm asking. It don't matter. That's when I that's just before Heavy Hitters.
• 29:31
  I was oh, yeah. Actually, Heavy Hitters. But I I what I meant to say before I hit my peak, like, when I so I'm like, damn. I'm like one of the first DJs that left Providence.
• 29:43
  So from there, I started getting booked in Lawrence. Lawrence has a fire ass nightlife. Like It does. That is crazy over there. Lawrence is lit. I got booked Lawrence is a special town. Like like I mean, even Nicky Jam is from Lawrence. Adoni's from Lawrence. Adoni's from Lawrence. The people don't talk about people that really came out of Lawrence. Like, to me, it's like a a hub that everybody just land because, man, New York is there.
• 30:08
  Just landed there. Just got there. Is it isn't isn't that, like, one of the spots, like, you know, if you you either came to New York or you went to Lawrence?
• 30:15
  You know I'm saying? Like, that Yeah. That's what yeah. One of Lawrence is lot yep.
• 30:18
  Like, like you you move out of New York and you buy a house in fucking Lawrence or whatever. And Right. No. Because you also got a lot of people from The Caribbean, Latin America, etcetera, etcetera that are used to living some people just like living in houses, bro. They can't go to those They wanna have their own garage, their own fucking driveway. You know? Sure.
• 30:33
  And it's peaceful, but, Massachusetts is pretty big. You know? So there's a lot of little cities and towns around that you can you know, as long as you be all connected. Hey, Coro. I have a question. Like, the way that, the way that people, you know I mean?
• 30:46
  Like, depend on you. Like, said, yo. Why you not streaming? And hit you. Like, get online. Does that do something for you too, for your psyche? Like, does that help you out too? Of I mean, of course. Because I'm like, damn. Wow. These people really wanna see me. They really wanna sit there and watch me turn up and shit. So I I feel like some some time, like, you know what?
• 31:05
  Let me get on. I do sometimes I'll like, let me get on because you motherfuck and it it'd be the best stream be the ones that I don't wanna do. So I'll be like, damn. I don't even feel like getting on. And them should be hating.
• 31:15
  That's the one that hate it.
• 31:17
  And then when you're excited to be honest, like, ah, that shit. Whatever. But, hey, man.
• 31:22
  I I'm I stream every day when I can. If I'm home, I stream every day, and I just keep my community. You know?
• 31:29
  Got my discord. I got my whole community ready. When when you stream, how long do you stream for? I forget. So yesterday, I was four and a half. I did four and half. Shit. Damn. That's a fucking hard time. Flies. You don't you don't think about it. It flies because you're doing so you're playing so many new so many songs, and you're interacting. And then you're like, oh, shove it on for three hours, and they don't feel like So when when you're streaming, the when you get on, do you be like, okay. I'm a do two hours today and Yeah.
• 31:57
  And it just be going. It just be going.
• 31:59
  Just be going. I'll be like, alright. I'm a just do a quick two hour, two and a half. Because if I'm if I'm not drinking, I feel like, you know what? For a little but once I once I start getting them shots in, you are leaving. I'm not leaving. Because it's it's all a in and out thing. People come in, come out, come in, come this one time that I was on, I was about to get off, and a motherfucker raided me with a 100 viewers.
• 32:25
  I had to stay on for another two hours. I'm like, fuck it. Is that on Twitch? On Twitch. On Twitch. Yeah. Because I remember that. I remember you get off rave you. And you would raid the next page.
• 32:33
  That was Raid raid is when you have your viewers, like and then then you buy this the page. And they'll bring it to you. Yeah.
• 32:39
  And then it's like And you just send it. I got I'm gonna get off. Enough is on. I'm gonna send to Enuff. Yeah.
• 32:44
  Everybody goes to Enuff. Actually, for the Heavy hitter retreat, I wanna stream. I don't know.
• 32:49
  Do it. Do a whole marathon type shit.
• 32:51
  I wanna carry I wanna really do, like, the the all the everybody holds the camera.
• 32:56
  Like, Enuff. Hold it for, like, ten minutes, and you just record like, just hold it.
• 33:01
  I'm a have my phone ready, and I'm a set up my camera, see what we can set up. We can stream with DJ.
• 33:05
  Let's do it. I'm working on that. So we got that is that for is that for Twitch or TikTok? It's gonna be for Twitch because on Twitch, got curse. We got to take shots. We smoke you could smoke. On TikTok, you can't even say bitch because they'll fucking Oh, shit. Kick you out. What do they do? They'll they'll suspend you and shit because they have this AI automatic shit. So you just got you can't be cursing and shit. They'll Not even in the songs neither? Not even in the music? Yeah. The music, yeah, you you could they could they they let it rock, but sometimes, like, they'll fucking bang you. You know?
• 33:35
  So I I be careful with TikTok. I'd just be on Twitch and wall out over there. And, Coro, like because before, it was like, yo. You you you promote, then you got in a club, then you got in the radio, then maybe you produce.
• 33:47
  Now are are we because I put myself are we failing? Because we're not on the radio, we're in the club, and we're Like, is streaming, like, obviously, one thing you need part of your arsenal moving forward regardless of who you are? Not really, to be honest. I don't think that's something that's necessary to be able to, like you know, in that matter because those type of people that really watch you, they're not up to parts of the club.
• 34:12
  They these these people are older. They're older.
• 34:15
  They have families.
• 34:16
  They can't really go out, so they enjoy you at their crib. You know? Or they'll put you on a speaker in a hot like, I've done Thanksgiving parties from my house.
• 34:26
  Like, motherfuckers like, yo, Coro, we're gonna watch you for Thanksgiving, my whole family. And they text you Oh, that's dope. Shout out this shout out this guy. Shout out this guy.
• 34:35
  I'm shouting out, and I'm playing the head.
• 34:36
  They're like, yo. That's crazy.

  It's, like, something that is more like that.
• 34:40

  Exactly. You know what I'm Some of these people Nah. He's touching up, bro. He's touching up. About it, though.
• 34:49
  He has a fucking booking at someone's Thanksgiving dinner just because. Like, that's a fucking booking as part of the calendar. Exactly. Holy shit.
• 34:59
  Yep. Yep. And they want me to do because I don't know. Out of Providence is weird. Like, little little bars and lounges, they can't have DJs. I used to DJ in the basement with a camera.
• 35:12
  Oh, the crowd upstairs, and people just gotta text me, yo. It's birthday. And it was wild. That's how I was DJing in Providence.
• 35:18
  Providence is like that.
• 35:20
  Like, most mostly, the small bars, lounges, they can't have entertainment license.
• 35:24
  I don't know if it's a bullshit. The farmer can't a rage situation. Yeah. They hide they hide the DJs because the license board be pulling up. They find the DJ, shut down. No. So what? They stream the DJ? No. The DJ's downstairs hiding.
• 35:37
  So one time That's crazy. So one time, the license board came to raid this spot.
• 35:42
  I had to hide in the freezer, bro.
• 35:44
  Downstairs.
• 35:46
  We're about to have time. I had to hide in the Ice Ice cold. Like, yo. What the fuck, bro?

  They the the the license board, the cops came downstairs. I was at the freezer. Like, I had to stay quiet. Quiet. Nobody down here. Nobody down here. Wow. That's I had to take my equipment out right away and all that shit. What's the one thing you do that you notice your fans love the most about you when you're streaming? My personality, bro. My my just randomness. Personality?
• 36:12
  My randomness. I just come out with some crazy shit.
• 36:15
  I'll remember something that one of my viewers used to did back then. I'll bring it up and, yo. What the fuck? How you remember that? Like, it's just my personality. It's not all about the I play good music.
• 36:25
  Of course. I turn it off, but I mostly like like to talk. There's people that be in there like, yo. Shut up. Let the music play. I'm like, ma, block this motherfucker.

  Get this nigga out of here.
• 36:40
  Because this is my stream. I'll do whatever I want. You know? Of course. But I love that. That shit is dope, the connection you have with people. Just so for like Camilo said, these are people you probably never gonna touch and, like gonna touched them. They never Yo. I'm a be honest, though. Most of them, they fly in to come see me. Like Oh, that's fine. Fly in. They fly in. They go get their own hotel, and they'll just pull up to the club.
• 36:59
  You know what came over with from TikTok?
• 37:01
  That is love right there. No. That's beautiful, bro. That's crazy. Some of them do. They come, and they show love. So it's something I've been building. You know?

• 39:39
  All the mixtapes had the motherfucking drop. You know? Heavy Hitter. Yep.

  I was bringing Lobo. I was getting all these Heavy Hitters game. You know? Booked Nice One. I booked Nice One. Bunch of guys.
• 42:49
  You know? And then I guess you guys vouched and and and went through, but I stuck to anticipating, like, showing you guys that I really wanted to be a Heavy Hitter. I wasn't just asking people, yo.
• 43:01
  How can I was showing? I was running my city. Like, you guys say, you gotta run your city. You gotta Exactly. Some you gotta be gold in your city. Right? Can't compete.
• 43:09
  And that's and that's what I wanted to get at because I want everybody out there to hear it. Like, listen. You wanna be down with the Heavy Hitter? The first thing I say is you gotta meet Enuff.
• 43:19
  That's the first thing. That's the first thing, and then we could talk from there. Now if you can't meet Enuff, let everybody in the fucking crew know that you wanna be down. Yeah. Know you wanna be down. Let the Coro Kings, Mega Jays, whatever.
• 43:34
  Whoever you know as a heavy, let them know and be a fucking pain in the ass and show and prove that you run your city. Yeah. It always it always gets to me anyway. Right? Correct.
• 43:43
  Oh, yeah. All the time. The people, they think it's about skills too. Like, yo. I'm a nice DJ. Look. Nah, bro. It's just more That's part of it. It's part of it. Of course. You know, most of these DJs that work in the club, they're nice, but it's just more about how bad do you want it. Like, the way I rep Heavy Hitters is, like, that shit is for that's that's, like, my crew. Like, I'm hard die Heavy Hitter. People get the name, and they forget about it. Like, nah, bro. You just want the title just so you can get known and be no. No. No. No.
• 44:12
  You gotta ride. Like, Heavy Hitters. The the the loyalty part is very important. Also, you know, like, every year, you've been to many Heavy Hitter retreats, and I think that's a very important part that every Heavy Hitter shows up to you retreats because we get perform and that you know? Totally. It's the only time you get to fucking see Bay Bay from fucking Texas. Yeah. I love him. Bey Bey, my dog. Right. And and and and it becomes a family thing. So, you know, for anybody out there who wants to be a Heavy Hitter that's listening to this and and and beyond me, just pay attention. It's it's it takes time. Sometimes sometimes we we we we we nominate people, and they don't make it.
• 44:49
  They don't make it. Yeah. But then the next round, they do. But, you know, that shows how much you really fucking want it.
• 44:54
  No. Galito is the number one. He took, like, six, seven years to make it happen. And after a while years.
• 45:00
  I think he said thirteen. Some some over ten. Over ten because also, JCNY was, like, fucking seventeen, eighteen years. Like Yeah. Yeah. He forgot. But at at at one point, I turned to Enuff and said, yo, my brother, there's one guy, Galito, we cannot pass this time and not put him down on this on this wave that we're doing.
• 45:20
  Right. Right. Because See. But the thing with me was I'm annoying as fuck because I go, yo. And now with Galito, because there's some people that, like, already was on their own little movement. Not not to say little, but, like okay. I said little. But, like, they're they're willing they're willing to wake up one day and go fuck my movement. I'm a go be a Heavy Hitter. So my question is always, could that person do that exactly shit to us? You know what I'm saying? And that shit turns me the fuck off. Like, if he was already down with some no. No.
• 45:46
  No. You just wanna be down with anything now. We don't need that. Who the Right.
• 45:49
  Right. Like like, that what gets me upset is, oh, shit. I didn't make it.
• 45:54
  I didn't make it in this room with the heaviest. Fuck them, man. Fuck it. Yeah.
• 45:57
  And they just So and so. And then that that right there proves everything to me.
• 46:00
  Yeah. And we've had that shit in our history on a Thursday. Yo. Can I be done? No. You can't on a Friday. Did this person's with a whole new crew. And I'm like, see that? See that shit? Forgot it. But, like Exactly. I wanna I I to you, I gotta applaud you, Coro, because, like you said, you was like, I wanna do this shit. This is what I wanna do. I'm a stick to it. And then you're proving to people, yo, you just you gotta keep doing it. Like Camilo said, you gotta go own your shit. You know what I'm saying? I'm all about loyalty, man. I don't even be I don't do no funny nothing funny about about me. Like, I don't do nobody wrong. I'm not here talking shit about nobody. I do my thing. A lot of people don't like me because of my style, paint my nails. I'm I'm different, which is what stands out. You know? I'm just I wanna be that motherfucker that is like nobody.
• 46:45
  Everybody wearing the Amiris, I'm wearing Vans. No.
• 46:47
  Yeah. Word up. Word up. Word up. You know?
• 46:50
  And I'm just different. I'm not here to fucking belittle anybody either.
• 46:54
  You know? The respect that I get when I walk into a room, shit. He's a Heavy Hitter.
• 47:00
  What's up, brother? I'm like, oh, what's up?
• 47:01
  You know, I'm a humble ass kid, man.
• 47:03
  I don't even think that I'm big shit because I'm Heavy Hitter. There's a lot of DJs that come up to me, yo, I wanna be Heavy Hitters. I'm like, my man, listen.
• 47:10
  You gotta do it the way I did it. You know, you gotta you really gotta, like, show these people.
• 47:16
  There was a kid that there was a DJ that was telling me, yo.
• 47:20
  But I was with Camilo, man, and I was holding his book bag and shit. I'm like, bro, it's not a What the fuck, bro? That's not really what the hell. Camilo, that's how you doing it out there, pop. You're taking DJ's carry on your bag.
• 47:33
  I was like, picked him up from the airport. Like, yo. Yeah.
• 47:34
  That was holding Camilo's drill. That's it.
• 47:38
  I'm not fucking being a Heavy Hitter, bro.
• 47:40
  You gotta really show what's I'm not even on that tip, though, but That's funny, bro.
• 47:44
  Alright.
• 47:45
  Before we go, I wanna one more question.
• 47:47
  So now you're in Miami. Yeah. Alright? You made that transition.
• 47:53
  What is so different? What have you experienced in Miami?
• 47:57
  Obviously, it's very different from Providence, but, you know, what's your experience over there?
• 48:01
  Is it hard? Is it more gigs? Is it more exposure? Is it tougher? Is it fucked up? Is the economy fucked? Like, tell us about Miami real quick. From the year I've been here, I've learned a lot. I came in with a mentality like, I'm Heavy Hitter. I'm. You know? I'll get some booking.
• 48:16
  Yeah. I I remember Camilo was like, yo, Listen.
• 48:21
  Make sure you always go back home and get your gigs. Miami is not like we think. I'm like you know? And it's true. It's what exactly what he said. It's not. It's this different market.
• 48:34
  You gotta be known. Obviously, you gotta have have the relationship with the people that own these hospitalities and all that, and you gotta really create your own, you know, like Wave. Wave.
• 48:48
  So right now, I'm leaning into house EDM.
• 48:52
  That's basically what's huge over here. That shit is huge, but it's tough. It's fucking that shit is there's a million DJs, you know, trying to get in the door with that bullshit.
• 49:04
  But I feel like, why not give it a try? I like that music. I've been on that shit since for for a long time, and I never had the time to really experience it because of all the gigs I used to get. But now that I'm here, I got more free time, and that's what I do. Now I don't even like going to like, I don't go to movie trap. Hell no. What advice is boojoo? Don't know.
• 49:23
  Shout out Hollywood KO, yo. My door, I went one time with me way all set.
