  Speaker 1: Boulet cav Show special guest in here. My guy, man,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: it's been a while. We got Rich a kid in
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the building. Yes, sir Rich, what's up, buddy, big CEO?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And first of all, it's been great to see kind
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of like a well, congratulations on the new record deal.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like you've a man you know how to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: get a bag from a label, because I've seen you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: You was originally an in the scope and then I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: want to say, you went to Sony Columbia was it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was it Republic Republic. Then there was the rostrum thing,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: there was a little empire stoping there and now where
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you're at RCA. Okay, yeah, it's not you know, I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: can get the bag. It's not really much about the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: bag for me anymore. You know what I'm saying. It's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: like the support system and good team. I was gonna say,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: because like that's all happened in a very small amount
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of time, so in four years, right, So what is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it about the fit for you that? Because most artists one,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they get stuck in a situation right where they sign
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and they owe a certain amount, You've been able to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: kind of get in and out of situations pretty easily.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Since leaving Interscope? What what give me the I guess
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the business behind that and the thought process, you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just having the best support system, you know, just having
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the team that's ready to shoot for you. Right? Do
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you feel like that like once? Because you know, obviously
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: being an Interscope you had a lot of success in Interscope,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: New Freezer, Plug Tall, I mean plug Walk. We could
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: go on and on and on going from that and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: going through all these different situations. Was it a support
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: system thing? When I was signing the Interscope, the person
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that signed me the Interscope they ended up leaving after
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a while, right, So it was like, you know, I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: don't even know this guy. That happens a lot, right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You'll get signed at a place and then the person
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: who believe than you leaves, and then there's new people
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: who come in and they're like, well we didn't we
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: didn't sign you. Yeah, So basically it was like, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: just the best support. I just want whatever the biggest
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: artist in your label gets. I want that same exact treatment.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Of course. So it's crazy because I think back to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the Interscope days and you had I remember when New
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Freezer first came out, there was not a lot of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: people are getting Kendrick mar features in the world. Not
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people still not a lot of people.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of people then, not a lot of people.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Now very rare to get a Kate Out feature especially.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like he really gave you one of them ones.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: That's an iconic record. Talk me through that whole era
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: getting the Kendrick verse, And was there ever a point
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in time where you almost were on TD because there
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: were some rumblings of that. I feel like I did
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: sign Scope through T so when you initially went to Interscope,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it was through Top Dog. Yeah, So I don't think
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of people know that. Yeah. So when I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: when I met Kendricks, like I was recording my album
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: One Room, Kendrick recording his album One Room in sists
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the recording the album in the room, so it was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like a record. Everybody was in the same building, so
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it was easy to just have him kind of walk
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: over and hear some shit. No, at the time, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: didn't even know he was recording there. I just came
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and did my ship, closed the door, and then one
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: day they came in there, like, yo, Kendrick wants to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hear like some of New Records, and then I played
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: him in New Freezer. He's like, yeah, I need that, yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: this one. But then I was I was waiting for
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Verse for like a month because he was on
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the road and doing shows and shit. So I was like, damn,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I just need I need to Kinjuck was how'd you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: feel when you got it? When you heard it for
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the first time, you know, like a big accomplishment, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for real, because before that, I never had like a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: hit song, right, that was your first like big single. Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So I got signed pretty much off of So when
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I got sign I was signed to three hundred DNT
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and I was signed to QC Records, and then like
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: so I had to like buy my way out. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I ain't never had no hits, so it's hard to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: get a lot of money from my label when you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had no streams. So I had to I had to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: pay QC five hundred thousand, and I had to give
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: three hundred three hundred thousand, plus I had to get
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: paid myself. So you can imagine I had a big
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: deal signing my first deal. So you get to deal
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: for minuscope and out of that money you had to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: pay off QC and three D three hundred and I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: had to get paid and you had to still take
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: some money home for yourself. Yeah, because at the time
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I was signing with QC and I asked p to like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, do my thing, and he's like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I need five hundred thousand, And at the time, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have five thousand dollars, you know, let alone five hundred.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So I went to my phone and I called everybody
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: from every label, every level that I had on my phone, right,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and thank god, I found one person, Mannie Smith,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and shot the many. He's like, yo, come to the office,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and then it's history. God God did the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: rest shout out to they'll let you buy yourself out
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: at least, and they, you know, they believed it in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: me when I first jumped up the gate. You know
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. For sure, I mean a lot of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: people kind of would equit you to be like the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: fourth unofficial Media early on in your career, because you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: were on so many of those early records, you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like me and Amigo were dropping a lot of tapes
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and ship before they signed to QC too. So it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just like we just hustling and working, trying to get
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: our music herd you feeling how close were you from
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like actually joining the group though never never happened. Talk
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about losing someone like Takeoff Man. Takeoff was obviously a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: great guy. He was one of the nicest dudes you
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: ever meet in the music game. I mean you've known
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: him for a long time. That had to be a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: big loss for you. Yeah, you know, it's my brother,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: like my best friend, like my twin, you know, everything.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So it really fucked me. I really never lost nobody
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: like that close. So it's just like it fuck me.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It's just like you know, you might just wake up
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and stuff crying and see a picture stuck around here
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: saw and especially him like he was such a just
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it felt like a very peaceful, genuine person. Yeah, super
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: nice guy. Every time I met him he seemed like
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know he was and also like really one of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the most iconic bit influential rappers ever. If we think
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: about his flow, and just like when I think of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Migos flow, I think I think a takeofre Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it's crazy man, like for you, like, was was that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: like a wake up call to kind of like you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: because you never know when you're gonna lose somebody these days,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: especially in the music game, you know what I mean,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know if it's a wake up call,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, it's just crazy, bro, Like
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it's just fucking me up, you know, like you don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: know how to respond to something you don't like, you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. Does it make you move
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit differently in terms of how you're moving around?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And you've had situations where you've had some serious ship
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that could have went left, we could have lost you,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean that we all know about,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you know, but it's when something like that happens, do
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you kind of like reassess how you're moving, who's around,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: what you're into. Me, Like, I don't be with people,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: just be by myself, my mother, I won't even know
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: where I'm at. I'm not with nobody, right, you know.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It's like it's always it's always dangerous doing anything in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the rapper, being a rapper for sure, whatever, especially you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: moving around all that jewelry. Can you take me back?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when you first met take Off and Amigos,

• 11:32
  Speaker 1: dope to see the resurgence of Rich forever in terms
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of you know, it's good to see Decks doing well. Yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know, he has some low times that we all
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: are aware of. And obviously j Crich has been eating
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for a long time for sure. Yeah, we've been working
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on a ridge trave of five. Well, it's like pretty
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: much done now, you know, and j Cris just put
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: on his JO season projects. So it's just like we've
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: been to it, you know what I'm saying. For you,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: like being a CEO, being kind of the leader of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the crew, what what were some of the things that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you kind of had to you know, because I feel
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: like we saw Decks kind of struggle with his sobriety,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you know, staying in the right right state of mind,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and it seems like he's doing really well now for you,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: was that something that was like hard to deal with,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: like because you know sometimes when I've had a lot
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of people in my life that have dealt with addiction,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I know that that it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it's it's a heartbreaking day to go through. Sure, yeah,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it's definitely frustrating, you know, like watching somebody like go
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: through rehab and then go back to it and then like,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just frustrating. But you it's like my brother,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like I understand it's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: my artist, but just like my real family, and I'll
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: be fucked up if anything happened to him. So it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like I gotta put that first. That friendship you get
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to put the human part first before the artist ship
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: for bro, like that was the most important part to me. Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: How far along is Rich Forever five? Is it done?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Or is it it's pretty much done? Yeah? We had
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: like like two weeks in the studio just locked in.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Is it just you three? Because I know you have three? Okay,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you know the fans been just one in the project
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for us three. So I'm about to see what label
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out through. Do you feel like
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you get enough credit for being the CEO that you are, man?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Because I do feel like if we kind of rewind
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: time in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, like one of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: first Yeah. Well, I just mean in terms of, like
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you know, I do feel like Rich Forever is a movement.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like you guys got fucking plaques. You guys
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: got numbers on the board, you know what I mean?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And I feel like sometimes maybe people don't necessarily give
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you that credit. M Yeah, man, you know that's how
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it be. A lot of motherfuckers don't get credit for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of shit. True, you know, so I'd be like,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: work harder, Nobody cares work harder, you know what I'm saying?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm signing more artists. I'm dropping most ship.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: We got five Deck Guy his project coming out. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: got my album coming out. You know what I'm saying,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So gotta go harder. Man. Do you feel like you've
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: also grown a lot in the last few years, because
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like he was matured a lot. I feel
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: like I see you moving a little differently, you know
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I feel like it kind of in
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: terms of just everybody kind of grows. If you stand
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the same, you're fucking up, you know what I mean.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Learn a lot, You learn a lot. You know, you
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: hit with life for sure, because I see like obviously
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you and you and Young Boy had a great project together,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: did you. I'm sure you saw the interview he just
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: did where he kind of showed a lot of remorse
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: for some of the energy he put out into the world.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Great interview. Great interview. I was gonna say, like, do
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you see that side of him being someone who's like,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you know, that close with him, because we don't know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Young Boy like he's kind of a recluse, you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: even before he got locked up. I feel like, like,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I feel like, yeah, people
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: don't people don't see a lot of size him. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you know that now he's done to open up more
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: for people. So so that's dope, you know. And he's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Mormon now he joined the church. I think he's joining
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the Latter day Saints Church. Yes, he lives in Utah. Look,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you can't live in Utah too long and I end
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: up being a Mormon, respectfully. That gets you out there.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know much about. It's a solid religion. It's yeah,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. So what about your solo album?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Obviously got a single out, but what is the album
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that's coming up? You have been working on it for
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like two years, so I ain't put out her sold album.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: My last album was me and Little Wayne Projects, so
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus I forgot about that. Yeah, so I ain't put
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: out no album since then. So damn I'm loaded. I'm
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: pretty much loaded right now. Explain to me the Little
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Wayne project because that is not uh. I mean, you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: obviously got your group ship with with with the guys,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: but then you got a Young Boy album and then
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a Little Wayne album. Like how does the Wayne thing happen? Like?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Is it just you guys get in and you guys
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: just are like Yo, this is crazy. Our chemistry is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so good. We should do something full or how does
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it work? I think I just you know, build a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: relationship with Tunes a little while and saying we're good friends.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: We chop it. I talked to him like every week.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Damn there you feel me. So it's like, you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: we just that's just like big bro to me, you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So one day he just hit
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: me like, let's put the project together there, right? I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was like, fuck you, Well, yeah, I can't wait. Yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of course, whatever you want to do, let's do it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So you know, I might send him a record, he
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: send it back in like thirty minutes. So it's pretty
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: much like when we were recording to the project. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: might do a song and be like, oh yeah, Wayne,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: be hard on this, send it over. He'll send it
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: back to me, and then he'll send me one and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: then like back and forth type shit. I was gonna say, like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: what's the difference between doing an album with him and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: doing an album with Young Boy? Is there a difference
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: their creative processes or shit? Like doing the album with
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Young Boy, I'd be over at his house for like
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: two weeks, would just be chilling, you know what I'm saying,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: So you guys would be actually like fully locked in,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: locked in and not leave right saying so to an album, Wayne,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I might come to the studio a couple of days
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: or you know what I'm saying, shoot him some stuff
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to the email, get it back, especially doing doing an
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: album with Young Boy. He was on house arrest. He
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: had just got out of jail, and I went to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: his crib when we just not at the album. Was
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this when he was in Was this one in Utah? No? No,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he was in bars. Okay, Okay, Yeah, Yeah, that's crazy
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: that I didn't even I forgot all about the Wayne album.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal, man. Not a lot of people
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: have little Wayne albums. I don't know besides Birdman father
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: like Son, what is another little Wayne to collab album.
• 17:59

• 24:16
  Speaker 1: like Homewise, Yeah, yeah, you know, figuring it out. You know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: it's a new independent major, it's a new podcast. Still
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: sitting with it right now. I mean, Jach, is that Empire? Yeah?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe do the Empire thing? Yeah yeah, funck with Empire
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: heavy Yeah. I gotta let me ask you this, Rich, because,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: as somebody who has seen every kind of side of
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the music industry, there's just like a conversation out there
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: nowadays that being independent is better than being on a major.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say I say you've
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: seen it all, it's being better. I would say independent,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It depends on what you care about, really, you feel
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I'm saying like, if you care about just getting the money,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: or you care about just having the dreams, because you know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you got to think about it. You gotta have a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: machine to run this shit, right, and being independent in school,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it just takes a lot of work, a lot more work, right,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: a lot more of your own money. Yeah. So if
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: maybe not in a position financially to do certain things,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you could use the label's money. Yeah. But it's not
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: only money, it's relationships too, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: These LA labels have been building relationships for twenty thirty years.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It's not like anybody can just get a wrap caviar
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: for sure, dead ass, dead ass for real. Yeah, And
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: if you're independent, it's probably gonna be a lot harder
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to get a carrier. Then it's a bigger uphill battle
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to do everything for sure. Yeah, for sure. And then
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I saw like there's like, because Okay, I'm assuming every
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: one of these deals you've had since you left the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: innerscope you get an advance, right. I think that there
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: is a narrative out there that isn't all the way
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: accurate that if you get an advance, it has to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: be recouped before you could leave. That's not the case, right,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: everybody's deal is different. Okay, now my deal is not
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: structured the same as these artists these days. You feel
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: because a lot of times I think you can. I mean,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I like you said, if you have the right structuring,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you should be able to get the label giving you
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that advance is a gamble on their side. It's not
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: like you have this like shit hanging over your personal credit.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I've been seeing all these like misleading videos about people
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: saying like an advance is the worst loan you can
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: ever take out. Well, it's not really alone because it's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: not on your personal credit. Like if you pay it
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: back cool, if your music recoups, cool, But it's also
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: rit I've never been like this type of artist. There
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to recoop, you feel what I'm saying. So
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I never really had You're recouped everywhere. I never really
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: had the tough problem where if you're making hits, then
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you publish it. You really well, I was gonna say,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: when you see someone like QC and UH and those
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: guys sell for three hundred million dollars, that was fire
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: huge considering you were there when it first was started up, Like, uh,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: that's amazing, bro. What do you think is going on
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: where everyone seems to be selling right now? QC sold,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: everyone's selling their publishing. Well so I seeing everyone in there,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I mean sold. Oh yeah, selling and publishing. That's like
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a common thing. Like niggas do this all the time
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: when they first get their first hit and they might
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: sign the publishing. But it just like people are selling
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: their satellg catalog. Yeah, they selling their catalog. Justice Pe sold.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I think I think he had a million. You know
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that's smart for some people, Like after you've been in
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the game for a long time, like you've ate off
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: of it for all these years already, You've been in
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the game for a long enough time. It's it might
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: be smart to sell a catalog. But you just coming
• 28:03
