• 1:28
  Speaker 2: favorite artists, favorite writers, closest friends, was getting busy doing
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: his own thing creating music, and I was like, your
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: voice is unbelievable. So we we collabed on like a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: song or two. We had a ton of fun doing it, and.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I was like.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I was trying to find I was in my era
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of like I just worked on Uncomfortable, I was working
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on the Arrow, and I was in like really deep
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: kind of music, like you know, very vulnerable and expressive,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and everything we were doing was a lot of fun.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So our boy Dell was he came up with the idea.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: He pitched it to us.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We laughed the draft old school draft photo and.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: We did the old school draft photos NBA, so it
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: was very like NBA themed and we just had fun
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and it was like this is supposed to be like
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a side project that just kind of held us over
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and it was an outlet, ended up being the number
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: one independent album in the country. We ended up going
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: on tour, selling out a huge tour, and it became
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like a fan favorite. Yeah, so our fans have ever
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: been asking like, when are you going to do part two?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And so we fine years. Yeah, so seventeen was the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: last time.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so what was the I guess, like, was
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: there something that happened to you, like, all right, it's time.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We had always said we wanted to do it, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: it was like I continued on with my career and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: John was out and he was in Cali. So I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: was in New York. He's in Cali. Then I moved
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to Atlanta. So it was just hard to keep up
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: with it. So we would try to do like a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: week you know, creative trip here and there, but you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: just don't get enough momentum. You know, you do a week,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you get a song or two, then you don't see
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: each other for another three months. So I finally got
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: him to move. That was the catalyst. He moved out

  Speaker 2: stuff I liked from my childhood. So I started getting
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: old wrestling vhs. So we'd be in the studio and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I'd be playing that just in the background for like
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: vibes or whatever, and John and I we'd be like
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: working and just stop and be like, oh my, like
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: having these moments, these memories of like Stone Cold at a
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Rock or HBK or whoever, and we just start dying
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: laughing and watch them cut their promos. And it kind
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: of was just a muse for a while. And we
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: were talking about it, and we were we were just
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: saying to ourselves, pro wrestling is like the blueprint for
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: entertaining people.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: For sure. It's the most entertaining ever. Its wrestling is
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: soap opera, the soap opera with physical activity. It's it's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the greatest art form in the world. I wrestling. It's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the highest art form with the most craziest level of difficulty.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I don't give anybody says put your body on the line.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And what's so funny is the thing about pro wrestling
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is sometimes the stories don't even really make sense, but
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: they're not even really that good. It's like, you know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: we we started dying. I mean, we started dying laughing being.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Like Undertaker, I'll see you once I rise from Hell
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: and I'll fight you in Cincinnati for the Intercontinental titles.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Like so you came from Hell a fight in Cincinnati, Yeah, Like.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Like, wait, your brother's name is Kane and he was
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: supposed to have died in a fire as a child.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Now held now he's an ipsilente fighting you for the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: tag team title. Yeah, I mean, it's just absurd.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: And everything we love about hip hop we saw in
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: wrestling outfits, over the top people, personality, elite ship talkers,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you know, like cutting promos and it was like Oh,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: this is what rappers do, Like the best rappers do this.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: These guys are doing hip hop. These guys are doing
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: on a Sunday night, They're doing it every night.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And I was like talking, I mean, you think you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: think ghost Face with a with a gold forearm piece,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: that wrestler, that's pro wrestling, you're pro wrestling, giant fucking robe. Yeah,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I mean that's Rick Flair. So it just became a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: mused for So we were like, what if our whole
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: next rollout was themed around pro wrestling? And we were like, well,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the first one was NBA, you know, NBA funny NBA stuff.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: What if this one was tag team wrestling?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And we initially we were like, oh, that's a layup.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: It's the Dudley Boys, Like.

  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, and we don't know, so you might
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: want to snip this out.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But they do. I think the only rest of the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: face paining copyrighted is Dan Housen, who helped the Knicks
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: win a championship. Really he had cursed the Knicks.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how so, now's it? Yeah, that's why he was
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: on the the finals.
• 14:54

  Speaker 2: He uncursed them.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: After he uncursed them, they wanted to feed he uncursed them. Yeah,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he curses people, and he said cursed and they until
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the Trump game, right.

  Speaker 1: Everybody? Everybody, okay, everybody except Goldberg in the Ultimate Warrior.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I do have a good Goldberg shirt.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I want nothing to do goodie. I'm not a Goldberg guy.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: He didn't know about his reputation until.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he heard a lot of people.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I did not know he was dangerous. He's like and
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: he's like still in shape and walking around.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Saw him in the airport one.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: He also seems to kind of be like a dickhead.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I've Yeah, he was nice, I've
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: never met. I think he just was a little ambitious.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Did you hear about the match the one what was
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the matter? Watched bashed his head against the wall trying
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to get back into it and knocked himself out.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the Undertaker, and then and he hurts the other.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Guy, Oh, Bill Goldberg.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Billy Billy g all right, so you guys end up

• 16:54
  Speaker 1: The glasses layup.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Instead, I ended up contract contracting a guy that's specially
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: make shoulder pads.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: With the hard way.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you can't find those. I found a guy
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: on Etsy ended up becoming a good friend.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: He made the shoulder pads, made.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: The shoulder pads, the forums, everything, and apparently he has
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: like a whole business around it. This guy custom has.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: A whole business around making road Royers costume.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: No around around like customizing.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Stuff like for like LARPers and and uh what is it?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: NERF like? He customizes people's nerve like.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Guns like Airsoft, but it's NERF like he makes customized
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: like NERF guns.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Stor just al the nerd, Al the geek.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just buy a NERF gun to.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Extendo switch da is going to be a raid
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: your house?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: How do you make a million dores? Is your I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: sold switches for.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: It?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Really it looks like that.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Andy? There seems to have been
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: like a a bit of a spike in quote unquote
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Christian rap popping recently, Like a guy like Miles Minnick
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: is doing really well, he's doing good. What are your
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: thoughts on just kind of like that. It's I feel
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: like that. See I feel like you're in the scene,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: but you're not in the scene because you're kind of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you're just happened to be. I feel like you're just
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a rapper just happens to be a man of God
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: as opposed to like championing that as like a subgenre,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: but as a subgenre, it seems to be in a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: place that you know is really cracking right now.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I feel like the internet is
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: such a different place now even than it was five
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: years ago. And the Internet is where we've all you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: made our made our moves, right, you know, because everything's
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: not going through the major outlets and platforms like it
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: used to as much like legacy media. So he he
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: has a real uh fan base and community out here
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: in San Francis. Got glow Fest and yeah, he's got
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a festival. He's got a church he's a part of.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: He's got like real commune and they really support him
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: and for their they go hard. Man, He's figured it
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: out there, and I think he's gotten with a good
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: manager that's helping push him. He's doing the right collabse
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, did a whole record with Lacraze.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: So he's figuring it out. And I don't know, man,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I just feel like I don't know if the genre
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: as a hole is elevating or if just certain people
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: are having their moments.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Like John keith Is had a record at radio that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: was pretty dope.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well because more people stepped in. So Dark Child
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: started a label and signed a bunch of people, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: so now he's really trying to push that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: So a lot of those guys that are rolling loud
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what's happening is because it's it's a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: legitimate fan base and it's making money. These other places
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: are just gone, We'll open up space.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we want people to come.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they want people.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: If you'll bring people that want come otherwise, come on,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: So and that's always kind of been the case with us,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: is like when you have undeniable numbers, people end up
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: being like, we got to make some space.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Explain your I swear this is not an Andre three
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: thousand disc song song, and.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Tell him about your dis song.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you get to watch the video?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched you when it first came out.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Why why don't you tell me what you think I
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: mean for you? I loved that. It was one of
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: my favorite campaigns.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Because it was more about like the fact he dropped
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the Flute album right and you wanted to hear his perspective.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like the thing about the Andre thing is
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: like I feel like he kind of I think he
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I think he said in an interview that like he
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's supposed to rap about the people
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: are going to relate to, and it's like, well, that's right,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: that's the relatable shit. Because all your fans are like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I'm thirty nine, bro, Like I want to hear you rap.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: About what life is like now.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Shout out to our brothers at hard Dean man OTTs family.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, they've been sponsoring the podcast for years now.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: You've been seeing the mic flag for years now. Want
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to give a shout out to our brothers. I just
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: was in Vegas. I had to pull up all right. Look,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it's the number one dispensary in the world. When I
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: tell you, you walk in that thing and the BUTD tenders
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: are great. They take care of you immediately. The selection
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: is great. So when you go to Vegas, you get
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: into that cab, you get into that uber immediately say
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: take me to Hardean. Don't know what they're doing, all right,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: they go get you right, all right, the number one
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: premium cannabis dispensary in the world. They just got me right.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I was just in town for a raffie's birthday. Had
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to pull up, get right, this nice little one to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: one Hardean Jersey. These are not available. All right, shout
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: out to them man, all right, salute to the family.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Follow him on Instagram. Hardean Underscore Las Vegas. All right,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: let's get back to the podcast.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I I it wasn't necessarily it was more of
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: a macro And basically I wrote a record that said
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: this is non Andre three thousand dis song. We did
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a whole campaign for it, which I thought was brilliant.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: We made these signs that said that with the QR code,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: and they were sitting in a pot of flowers, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I put them out all throughout Atlanta, his home, you know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: And in a lot of ways, that record is about
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: giving him his flowers and saying, I've been a fan
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of yours for so long. I love your music. You've
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: inspired me so much, and I was frustrated that when
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you returned, you returned doing something completely different. But as
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: you listen to the record, it ultimately ends up saying,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: but of course you would do that, because that's what
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: you've always done. You've zigged and everyone zagged, right, you
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: did the right, That's what you did. And then it
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: turns into a question of, well, if you walked away
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: from rap at some point, and you're like, my favorite rapper,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: does that mean eventually I have to? And so the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: question is more it it. It looks like a dis
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: song from the outside, but the deeper you get into
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the record, the more you realize I'm just kind of
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: thinking about how this results with me. So at the
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: end of the music video, I'm looking at myself in
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the mirror. So it's one of my favorite pieces of
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: art that I've ever made. I think it's important. I
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: had a lot of people DM me after, you know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: tde artists and stuff, just being like this was I
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: needed this, you know what I mean, and just I
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's connected with people. There's a lot if
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: you ever read the comments, it's like why am I crying?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: You know, like in the comments because I think people
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: relate to that feeling of am I washed up? Is
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: my time over?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Have I reached a point where I can no longer
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: make this art form or do this thing I loved?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: So that's more what the record is about. And he's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: kind of the muse of it. But it never meant
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: to disrespect.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And it makes sense like in terms of like like
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you said, like the correlation if this is one of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: your favorite artists of all time, and he got to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a point.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Where he's like, I shouldn't do this anymore.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't When, if ever, could you get to that point?
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And do you feel like you've ever thought about that?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Like I mean, I do you know what I mean?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: It's like I saw a gray hair comeing in the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: beard and you start going, whoa, right, you start going
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: like hold on, uh, you know, you pluck those out
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and you keep it moving. But it's like father Time's undefeated,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and you have to start asking yourself, am I looking crazy?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: If I want to step out like do I look nuts?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Or am I evolving in such a way that is
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: like still true to who I am and relatable? And
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: do people want this? Because it's weird? You make art
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: for a living, but also you entertain people for a living.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: And there also isn't much data for rappers to like past,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: there's not many legacy yet.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like this is the first era of us seeing
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like forty these old school rap festivals where it's like,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: oh shit, there's like fucking you know, there's rock kim Yeah.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, classic rock has had years of that well, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: then they turned into classic rock stations and now they're.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Classic hip hop stations. Yea, yeah, there's a lot of
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: classic hip hop.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: It seems like it's it's panning out. I think it's
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: panning out. But still there's not a lot of so yeah, those.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: There's not like a lot of proof of concept of
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: like guys wrapping in their sixties and yeah, we'll see
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: jay Z is about to probably put out some new music.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and he's going to be close to sixty.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: He's fifty eight to fifty seven?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Is he fifty eight?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I think he's in the second half of the fifties.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Oh fuck yeah, Nas Nas is breaking the mid fist rhymes.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Has got to be up there. Fat Joe's got to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: be up there. Yea.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Guys, I think you know Joe's agent gracefully because.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: He's like Jada looks amazing.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they look awesome. They're having a good time and
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: they're doing what you're walking from og like you want
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: them sitting around telling stories, talking, being.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: A part of the call, popping out and doing good
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: music too.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the new Fat Roe sign that just
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: dropped his fire. Jay Z's fifty sixty.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, sorry, I gave you a couple of Extrahoe sorry,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: fifty six.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Fat Joe's fifty five.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, they're right there.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm gonna I'm willing to think Buster Rhyme's got
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to be closer to sixty than any either of them. No,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I think he's young now fifty four.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Let's say it's a couple of years under the how right.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, for some reason how the Bust
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: was older leaders.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Is anyone in clips in their fifties?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think Oh, actually yeah malice gi Yeah, whoa malice?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I think malice is around. Uh, let's see fifty two,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: fifty three, Wow, fifty three.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I mean they were really good. Example, they were the
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: most for me when I saw that roll out in
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: that release.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: And they have the best album last year mind Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And they were both old old bros.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: You know, they kind of kind of re informed the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: zeitgeist of what you needed to look like and sound
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: like right now. So I was like, we're good, got
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: plenty of times, we're good, You've got twenty years. Let's
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: keep go.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Do you guys think you're going to take another nine
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: years to do another project?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Now that we live in the same city, I think
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: it's like we we already have records for the next
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: one that we couldn't finish, and it's.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: A proximity thing. I think there's so much we got done.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Like he'll come to the to the to the studio
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: and I'll you know, I'll be in the house because
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the studio is attached to the house, and I'll be
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: like finishing a meal or something. I come back and
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: he's already got something pulled up. He started a new idea,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and then I'll sit I'm like, oh, hold on, let
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: me throw somethe this And in twenty minutes we're like, oh,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: we got a new idea. I was like, we have
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to stop, like the ideas, actually, don't slow up. We
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: had this. We had to stop creating ideas to finish
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the other ones, to put out this album. So I
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: actually think we'll be out keep making stuff. And we're
• 27:49

  Speaker 1: Because I was here. There's so many different dist I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: got a couple of homies work with Stem. But obviously
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: there's like Empire, there's a foundation, there's fucking creators.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Right right, and you know what, all of them are
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: great when you have a hit song and they all
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: get the credit for it. So that's the thing is,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I don't really know if any of them are the
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: magic you know, the magic bullet. It's really do you
• 37:50

  Speaker 1: like Empire is so good at setting shit on fire
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: that's already kind of on fire, but like they'll like

• 38:32
  Speaker 1: these digital companies, like they have some infrastructure where it's like, oh,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: when it starts to really get moving, they can stream you.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: They got a radio apartment, they need it right, but
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: at the same time, they can't guarantee anything.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: The great thing about this some Stem situation was they
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: gave me a really great rate and they said, let's
