Speaker 1: each of you guys have just been, you know, the
2:47
Speaker 1: last couple of years, just been on a tear, like
2:49

2:52
Speaker 1: being you know, you guys are going to be associated

2:59
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what's it like to
3:01
Speaker 1: see blasts become like blast? You know what I'm saying.
3:04
Speaker 1: Like the tour sold out in like a day, I think,
3:07
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, what's that like? And
3:08
Speaker 1: then you just announced the second show at the Novo
3:11
Speaker 1: by the way, which is crazy, you know what I mean, Like,
3:12
Speaker 1: how does it feel though each of you guys a
3:14
Speaker 1: just see each other like you know what I'm saying,
3:16
Speaker 1: Like I know, for me, it's it's kind of like, uh,
3:19
Speaker 1: you know you always question your ear in this music shit,
3:21
Speaker 1: and for me, it's just like I knew it, you
3:23
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like back then, just tap it
3:26
Speaker 1: in with bro and you know what I'm saying, that's
3:28
Speaker 1: working and you always knew it was something that was there.
3:31
Speaker 1: Was you know what I'm saying, real, real detrimental and
3:33
Speaker 1: essential for the city, you know, and the sound you
3:35
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, to represent the West Coast, so
3:38
Speaker 1: all they knew it was there, you know what I'm saying.
3:40
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to see it on Folk. Sure, that's crazy, man.
3:44
Speaker 1: Blast How you know when it came to approaching six
3:48
Speaker 1: to two or six tape two, what was like your
3:53
Speaker 1: approach from like, you know, you just put out insane EP,
3:57
Speaker 1: insane bonus edition. You're on a lot of hooks. You
4:00
Speaker 1: got the MAZI record going crazy, the Jason Cash record
4:04
Speaker 1: is crazy. I'm sure that there's so much stuff that
4:06
Speaker 1: we haven't heard that's gonna be on some big projects
4:09
Speaker 1: as well. But like, what's like your approach when it
4:11
Speaker 1: comes to approaching a collaborative effort as opposed to like
4:13
Speaker 1: kind of what you've been doing the last year and
4:15
Speaker 1: some change. I mean, for the main thing for me
4:18
Speaker 1: was really just sticking to the script. And what I
4:21
Speaker 1: mean by that is just like knowing what got me here.
4:24
Speaker 1: And I feel like what the people really wanted was
4:27
Speaker 1: a six tape part two because that really impacted the city.
4:30
Speaker 1: You know, being up gave me the aliu for people
4:33
Speaker 1: to even know who I was. Like, I'm always give
4:36
Speaker 1: him as much credit as I can because who knows,
4:39
Speaker 1: you know. But I feel like my my main motive
4:42
Speaker 1: was just making the impact over anything just being as
4:45
Speaker 1: far as a solo artist, I'd rather make an impact
4:48
Speaker 1: in the city. Yeah, what about you, Like, you know,
4:50
Speaker 1: you put out a project outside which was crazy. He's
4:53
Speaker 1: on it obviously, But did you approach this any differently
4:57
Speaker 1: than the first tape or was it kind of like
5:00
Speaker 1: picking back up where y'all left? I feel like now
5:03
Speaker 1: it was it was a lot more excitement because you know,
5:05
Speaker 1: we kind of out the pandemic and you know, not
5:08
Speaker 1: necessarily out it, but we got a little more freedom
5:10
Speaker 1: and a little more capability to you know what I'm saying,
5:12
Speaker 1: do what we want to do out here, do a
5:14
Speaker 1: show and really, you know what I'm saying, touch the fans.
5:16
Speaker 1: So I feel like this time around, we was juiced
5:19
Speaker 1: up and ready to pop back outside, and uh, you
5:22
Speaker 1: could hear it in the music for sure. Was it
5:25
Speaker 1: tough for each of you guys putting out a project
5:26
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, because I mean, I know you did
5:28
Speaker 1: like a pop up shop and you know, you guys
5:31
Speaker 1: did did things, but like obviously it's not the same,
5:35
Speaker 1: you know, especially in LA because ship is really shut
5:39
Speaker 1: the fuck down. It was at least like what what
5:42
Speaker 1: was that was that? Like? How was that? You know
5:45
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Did you guys feel like, you know
5:47
Speaker 1: a little disappointed with some of the stuff you weren't
5:49
Speaker 1: able to do or did you feel like everything was
5:51
Speaker 1: was you know, for what it was you guys maximized.
5:53
Speaker 1: For me, it was I ain't gonna lie. It was
5:55
Speaker 1: a little hesitation, you know, but overall I felt it
6:00
Speaker 1: played in my favor because my music is more like
6:04
Speaker 1: melodic and laid back, just like R and B type vibes.
6:09
Speaker 1: So I feel like people, yeah, could sit with it more.
6:11
Speaker 1: But I wish, I wish that shit really was not
6:16
Speaker 1: going down when I dropped that project. Yeah yeah, I mean,
6:20
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. Man. I think
6:21
Speaker 1: we finally kind of on the other side of it,
6:23
Speaker 1: even though I feel like everybody, everybody I know has
6:25
Speaker 1: got COVID in LA right now. It's like the ship
6:28
Speaker 1: came back in the last month. It's crazy. It's insane. Man.
6:32
Speaker 1: What about on the solo tip obviously, what are you
6:35
Speaker 1: working on right now? Because like I said, man, you're
6:38
Speaker 1: on everything right now, and I know people are wanting
6:40
Speaker 1: like a full a full length Blast album and right
6:44
Speaker 1: now just working on being the best live performer. Like
6:48
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what I've been missing or what
6:51
Speaker 1: I haven't been given to people like that, that live
6:54
Speaker 1: version of Blast so exactly. So I'm trying to just
6:57
Speaker 1: perfect the show and just rehearsing a lot. Ye her,
7:00
Speaker 1: sitting trying to work out, get right, get in shape,
7:03
Speaker 1: all that type of shit. Vocal lessons is that the
7:04
Speaker 1: hardest part about performing is like getting out of breath. Man.
7:09
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was about the pandemic, but
7:11
Speaker 1: I'll be tired now for sure. What about you, like,
7:16
Speaker 1: you know, are you are you working on your follow
7:18
Speaker 1: up project outside? Yeah, you know, I'm working on a
7:21
Speaker 1: few things. I feel like mainly something that I want
7:23
Speaker 1: to do is really tap in with more you know,
7:26
Speaker 1: LA artists and West Coast artists in general, and you know,
7:29
Speaker 1: kind of build something that you know, we kind of
7:32
Speaker 1: ordered foundation for it seemed like now and ranch off
7:36
Speaker 1: of that. I want to say, when Draco was here,
7:38
Speaker 1: he said, you guys are working on a project, you
7:41
Speaker 1: and Draco, right, so there's going to be a Draco.
7:44
Speaker 1: I mean he said this on camera just so you know,
7:46
Speaker 1: so it's not like but but so there, so there
7:50
Speaker 1: is a Drake. He played me a couple of songs
7:52
Speaker 1: that aren't aren't out yet, but Draco and Bino is
7:55
Speaker 1: on the way. Huh. The thing what I mean, Draco,
7:58
Speaker 1: It's like we spend enough time in other words, you know,
8:01
Speaker 1: if I just jump in the book and chord something here,
8:03
Speaker 1: I'm perverse on this and you know what I'm saying.
8:06
Speaker 1: So we got very effortlessly. Too effortless. I saw like
8:10
Speaker 1: I was you know, I always was a fan of
8:12
Speaker 1: his style because it's so unique. But I really when
8:14
Speaker 1: I saw him record really like, I was like, Oh,
8:17
Speaker 1: this dude's like an alien. It just goes in and
8:20
Speaker 1: just talks and then it hits it on. Like I
8:23
Speaker 1: saw one takes some shit that was crazy, and I
8:26
Speaker 1: was like, Bro, that was the most effortless shit I've
8:29
Speaker 1: ever seen like a rapper do. Like Yo, So is
8:32
Speaker 1: that something that's like official or is that something you
8:34
Speaker 1: guys are just tossing around that you guys haven't really
8:36
Speaker 1: decided if that's gonna happen or not. It's something we
8:38
Speaker 1: definitely want to do. Like how many records do you
8:40
Speaker 1: guys have together that are not out countys? Like, we
8:43
Speaker 1: got a lot of songs. I couldn't even tell you. Bro,
8:46
Speaker 1: It's like we just make that much music to its
8:48
Speaker 1: just like we could really drop a couple of taps
8:50
Speaker 1: probably right now if we wanted to. That's crazy. What
8:53
Speaker 1: about you, Blast? Let me ask you this question, who's
8:56
Speaker 1: an artist that you have the most songs with in
8:59
Speaker 1: the can that we don't that that aren't outa It
9:04
Speaker 1: would have to be Mazi. I got a bunch of
9:06
Speaker 1: joints on Mazi. Yeah, you and Mazi. Low kids like
9:10
Speaker 1: jay Z and r Kelly before before she got weird.
9:13
Speaker 1: No for real, Like, you guys have fucking records man man.
9:19
Speaker 1: And that's another project I think of fans would love
9:22
Speaker 1: is a Masi Blast project. That would be crazy. Yeah,
9:24
Speaker 1: I'll be seeing that a lot on Twitter, Like Mazie
9:27
Speaker 1: and Blast project would be crazy. But shout on Mazi
9:30
Speaker 1: for sure. What is it about Mazi? You think that
9:32
Speaker 1: you guys have such a great chemistry? I just felt
9:38
Speaker 1: like I'm able to step into his world and really
9:40
Speaker 1: like speak on it from like a narrator perspective. And
9:44
Speaker 1: it's mostly just hooks when I collab with them anyway,
9:47
Speaker 1: So I just feel like I'm able to speak on
9:49
Speaker 1: that topic and just give it an overall summary. That's
9:53
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I look at it in the
9:55
Speaker 1: hook form. But yeah, the chemistry is there for sure.
9:59
Speaker 1: What was it like, like, you know, rocking with Russ,
10:02
Speaker 1: Because I feel like a lot of people kind of
10:04
Speaker 1: compare you to Russ in terms of like what you
10:06
Speaker 1: guys bring to the table as an artist, you know
10:08
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you're like a one man show.
10:10
Speaker 1: You can record yourself and make the bead and do
10:13
Speaker 1: everything right, and he's the same way. And you guys
10:17
Speaker 1: put out a crazy record. You know what I'm saying,
10:19
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's more where that came from. Yeah,
10:21
Speaker 1: I mean we only did two records. I don't think
10:24
Speaker 1: the other one was gonna come out. Maybe it's gonna
10:26
Speaker 1: be one of these random songs he drops because he
10:28
Speaker 1: puts a song ding a record every week. His work
10:31
Speaker 1: ethic is crazy. But yeah, shout out russ I for
10:34
Speaker 1: sure mirror a lot of stuff he do you follow
10:38
Speaker 1: a couple of you know, shift from his blueprint? Did
10:42
Speaker 1: you you know a lot of people kind of question
10:45
Speaker 1: like when you did the Red Bull thing initially like wait,
10:48
Speaker 1: this is crazy, like you could sign with anybody, which
10:51
Speaker 1: is true at the time, you probably could have signed
10:53
Speaker 1: with anybody, right, But it's worked out like amazingly. You
10:57
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Is that a relationship we're gonna
10:59
Speaker 1: continue with the next project. Yeah, we're talking about that
11:02
Speaker 1: right now, right now. My deal is you know, damn
11:07
Speaker 1: near damn. But definitely the relationship there is solid, So
11:12
Speaker 1: I really don't see myself going nowhere else. And the
11:16
Speaker 1: resources are like limits, the resources you get free red
11:19
Speaker 1: Bull from this guy all red Bull, Yo. Yeah, it's crazy.
11:28
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people, like I think, you know,
11:30
Speaker 1: in La, the scene is this is probably the best
11:33
Speaker 1: that it's been in a very long time. Man, as
11:36
Speaker 1: far as camaraderie is concerned. You know, I was talking
11:40
Speaker 1: to like Jason Cash and a few other guys just about, like,
11:42
Speaker 1: you know, everybody in LA. It seems like they fuck
11:46
Speaker 1: with each other, you know, And there's obviously politics that
11:48
Speaker 1: come with a lot of shit, you know what I mean.
11:49
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I feel like you'll see
11:53
Speaker 1: Rouchie getting on songs with Kaitlin, and you'll see you
11:56
Speaker 1: guys doing a project together, and you're talking about doing
11:59
Speaker 1: join with Draco, Like why do you think? Like now
12:03
Speaker 1: the scene in LA seems so united as where in
12:06
Speaker 1: the past it felt very divided. I feel like we've
12:12
Speaker 1: seen it work, you know, in other places, you know
12:15
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We kind of see how they do
12:17
Speaker 1: things and we're talking about you know what I'm saying,
12:19
Speaker 1: States didn't been on top for years now, you know
12:22
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and we kind of realizing that we
12:25
Speaker 1: stronger together. So I feel like that's that's really the
12:30
Speaker 1: spark of a lot of collaborations right now in the Wish,
12:32
Speaker 1: like Atlanta, Like Atlanta's had it for how long they've
12:36
Speaker 1: moved together? Something crazy? What do you think blast? Yeah,
12:39
Speaker 1: I mean I just feel like it's it's that young
12:41
Speaker 1: nigga energy. Like we we see what he said like
12:45
Speaker 1: young Doug, like how he moved like a boss, Like
12:48
Speaker 1: we feel like bosses now. So we're gonna run this
12:50
Speaker 1: shit how we want to run it and shout out
12:52
Speaker 1: to the ogs that paved the way. But you know,
12:55
Speaker 1: we got to carry the torch for the next generation.
12:58
Speaker 1: So we've seen what they did wrong again, right, and
13:01
Speaker 1: now we can add our sauts to it. You talk
13:03
Speaker 1: about being a boss obviously got ego? Uh? Is that like,
13:08
Speaker 1: are both of you guys looking to sign artists or
13:10
Speaker 1: have you signed any artists? Or is that something that's
13:12
Speaker 1: even you know, you guys are still quote unquote new artists,
13:15
Speaker 1: but you know you came up under Nipsey, who you
13:18
Speaker 1: know obviously laid the blueprint for a lot of shit
13:21
Speaker 1: that a lot of rappers are doing nowadays. Is that
13:22
Speaker 1: something you guys are interested in getting into most Definitely.
13:27
Speaker 1: I'm actually working with an artist right now, but we
13:30
Speaker 1: just it's in the works right now. I don't I
13:32
Speaker 1: want to run it out the right way, for sure,
13:33
Speaker 1: But shout out j Millian for sure. Oh fire? What
13:37
Speaker 1: is what do you look for like in an artist?
13:40
Speaker 1: Like if you if you make that decision to put
13:42
Speaker 1: your standup on artist, like, what is the what are
13:45
Speaker 1: the qualities? Man? My main thing is just not having
13:49
Speaker 1: to tell somebody what to do, you know, so that
13:52
Speaker 1: that natural work ethic and just consistency and of course
13:56
Speaker 1: talent of course, but just not having a yeah, babysit exactly.
14:02
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's that's what I wanted around men. Yeah,
14:06
Speaker 1: it's tough because you know, you have an artist that
14:08
Speaker 1: has all the talent in the world. Yeah, but unless
14:11
Speaker 1: they're told what to do, they're just gonna sit at
14:13
Speaker 1: home and play NBA two care Call of Duty some ship.
14:16
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, shout out the artists game?
14:19
Speaker 1: Where were saying J million? J million? Okay from out here? Yeah,
14:23
Speaker 1: that's crazy. How excited are you? You know you got
14:26
Speaker 1: two shows at the Novo, first one sold out quick?
14:29
Speaker 1: Are you going to be doing any tour? Ship? Because
14:31
Speaker 1: you know his tours I got announced? Are you gonna
14:33
Speaker 1: be doing a be No tour? Yeah? I feel like
14:35
Speaker 1: it's only right to kind of follow up with a tour.
14:38
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I ain't. I don't want
14:40
Speaker 1: to say too much about it, but coming to a
14:43
Speaker 1: city near you for sure, And how excited are you
14:45
Speaker 1: to finally do like because you've been doing some club ship. Yeah,
14:49
Speaker 1: you've been doing like some radio ship, but this is
14:52
Speaker 1: like your ship. Nah, Yeah, it's fire, especially like when
14:57
Speaker 1: they know your words, it's a different type of thing.
15:00
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see that they know my
15:03
Speaker 1: words in New York, like, because I definitely wasn't expecting that.
15:06
Speaker 1: I feel like that energy give you the motivation to
15:09
Speaker 1: go back and make some crazier ship. So they always say, well,
15:13
Speaker 1: you say you never heard a whack blast song in
15:17
Speaker 1: your opinion, what's your worst song? Though that's out, that's out,
15:20
Speaker 1: What is your worst song? Like, what's your least favorite
15:22
Speaker 1: blast song? I couldn't even tell you. It'll have to
15:25
Speaker 1: be they're all fire. It'll have to be like the
15:27

16:46
Speaker 1: I'm saying, what I want to represent and how I'm coming.
16:48
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of pressure, you know what I'm saying.
16:51
Speaker 1: We hold a lot of weight on our shoulders. But
16:53
Speaker 1: it's the beauty of it. I feel like, Yo, it's
16:55

Speaker 1: at you as a new artist. But you know, I
18:36
Speaker 1: was like talking with Jason Cash and he was telling
18:38
Speaker 1: me that you guys, like I think the first time
18:40
Speaker 1: you guys ever hung out and did music together was
18:41
Speaker 1: like eight or o nine or some shit. Yeah, it
18:44
Speaker 1: was a minute ago because I know him through my
18:46
Speaker 1: my younger cousins and Carson, Like I used to go
18:49
Speaker 1: out there to they crib and they went to high
18:52
Speaker 1: school with Jason Cash. So I've been on him for
18:54
Speaker 1: a minute now. Yeah. No, it's crazy because like the person,
18:58
Speaker 1: like like the persistence, the dedication it takes to like
19:02
Speaker 1: do music for that long and like barely get pop,
19:05
Speaker 1: like get popping a decade into this shit, you know
19:08
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like, was there ever a point
19:10
Speaker 1: in time where you were like on the fence about
19:14
Speaker 1: doing this shit, because you know, at the end of
19:16
Speaker 1: the day, you gotta pay your bills, you gotta have
19:18
Speaker 1: you gotta put a roof over your head, and this
19:20
Speaker 1: music shit until it's it, it ain't it, you know
19:22
Speaker 1: what I mean. In the back of my head, off,
19:24
Speaker 1: I felt like I always knew it was possible, but
19:27
Speaker 1: when I had my son, I knew I had to
19:29
Speaker 1: turn it up, Like I have to think of different ways.
19:32
Speaker 1: How can I monetize it now? Because at first it
19:35
Speaker 1: was just the love of it, you know, like I
19:37
Speaker 1: just enjoyed creating shit. But now I have to like
19:42
Speaker 1: visualize how can I make it an actual business and
19:44
Speaker 1: make it bigger than just me something I can pass
19:46
Speaker 1: down to my son. Yeah, that moment, what was, like,
19:50
Speaker 1: in your opinion, like a moment for you that kind
19:53
Speaker 1: of changed everything. I feel like, to get right with
19:55
Speaker 1: it be was was a bit you know, I think
19:58
Speaker 1: that that was probably the first. Yeah, I was for
20:01
Speaker 1: sure like one of the first moments that people start
20:06
Speaker 1: paying attention to my name as far as a producer
20:08
Speaker 1: in the city, because like, well, how did you guys meet?
20:11
Speaker 1: Because you guys obviously didn't come up together, So how
20:12
Speaker 1: did you guys initially meet? I heard that song and
20:15
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's Kaitlyn. I'm like, bro, who made this?
20:19
Speaker 1: He put me on, so I'm like, you need some
20:21
Speaker 1: more of this? And then he was like, oh, you
20:23
Speaker 1: could sing. He just sent the song. He didn't even
20:26
Speaker 1: tell me, like, yeah, bro, I sing too. He just
20:27
Speaker 1: sent the song with some vocals on. It turned out
20:30
Speaker 1: to be savage crazy. Was that hard for you too,
20:34
Speaker 1: to like because you know, when you're a producer, you
20:36
Speaker 1: don't want to be like, I'm the producer who makes
20:38
Speaker 1: music because the artists might look at you kind of
20:39
Speaker 1: crazy if you're whack. You know. What I'm saying coming
20:43
Speaker 1: into the game is like a producer, you know. Was
20:45
Speaker 1: that something where it was like you're kind of picking
20:46
Speaker 1: and choosing, like who you let hear you? It's kind
20:49
Speaker 1: of funny though, because I don't really look at myself.
20:53
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's weird. I don't know how other
20:55
Speaker 1: people look at me, but I look at myself like
20:57
Speaker 1: an artist that produces, like kind of like a J.
20:59
Speaker 1: Cole right right. He not heavily known for producing, but
21:04
Speaker 1: he got them accolades under his belt, you know. And
21:06
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I want to move. Like if
21:08
Speaker 1: you know, you know, are you still making beats for
21:11
Speaker 1: other people? Like not that ship that you're not even on.
21:13
Speaker 1: Are you still like sending packs out? Yeah? Yeah, any
21:15
Speaker 1: any stuff that you know might be coming or any Yeah,
21:19
Speaker 1: I got some crazy shit in the works for sure.
21:21
Speaker 1: Can you give us a little not at all? Has
21:26
Speaker 1: there been a blast? Have you done a hook recently
21:29
Speaker 1: that you were like a little nervous because of who
21:30
Speaker 1: it was for. Yeah, I feel I feel I'm my
21:36
Speaker 1: biggest critic bro. Anything I send to anybody, I'm always
21:39
Speaker 1: second guess with myself. But I like it that way
21:42
Speaker 1: because I'm never perfect, but I'm always striving for perfection,
21:46
Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, it's always like that. I'm always like, damn,
21:50
Speaker 1: they gonna fuck with it or they're not gonna fuck
21:52
Speaker 1: with it? Who can you let us know? Not who
21:54
Speaker 1: you've worked with, but like who's reached out to you
21:57
Speaker 1: that has let you know that they're a fan of
21:59
Speaker 1: what you do. This for both of y'all. Two that
22:02
Speaker 1: kind of was like a big deal to you, you
22:04
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like few people, few people, off
22:10
Speaker 1: the top of my head. The latest one I could
22:11
Speaker 1: think of, it's like Rick Ross him tapping and just
22:15
Speaker 1: being in the same room with him. I didn't even
22:18
Speaker 1: know he was, you know, he was like up on
22:20
Speaker 1: your ship. Yeah, so that was a shocker for sure.
22:25
Speaker 1: What as I mean, Drake lives in LA Has Drake
22:27
Speaker 1: tapped in? No Drake a and't tapped in? That's got
22:30
Speaker 1: that's gotta be inevitable. He lives here. I don't know
22:38
Speaker 1: what about you? Who's somebody who's who's just reached out
22:40
Speaker 1: to you, like just as like a fan that you
22:42
Speaker 1: were like, Oh, this shit crazy. Mm hmm. I'll probably
22:50
Speaker 1: say the craziest for me. He didn't exactly reach out.
22:54
Speaker 1: He was just kind of sliding to my ship. It
22:56
Speaker 1: was Bron Lebron, James Oh ship. He was sliding to
23:01
Speaker 1: me and Jystone ship shout out Jaystone. But you feel
23:04
Speaker 1: me when he in the back of that whip listening
23:07
Speaker 1: to New York Ship, It's like, Lebron look like an
23:11
Speaker 1: an R. Lebron is definitely an R, and he'd be
23:15
Speaker 1: listening to the most wide He'll be listening to l
23:18
Speaker 1: A Ship. Then it'll be listening to like Freddie Gibbs
23:21
Speaker 1: or Griselda like he's super. I mean, he's supposed to
23:25
Speaker 1: do an album. That's what they're saying. He's gonna do
23:27
Speaker 1: like a DJ Khaled style project for he just A
23:29
Speaker 1: and R to be fire, because I feel like he
23:32
Speaker 1: got the ear for it for sure. Playing did y'all
23:34
Speaker 1: see Space Jam two? Yeah? I just seen this ship.
23:37
Speaker 1: I ain't seen this ship. What do you think I
23:39
Speaker 1: liked it? I thought it was entertaining, which is kind
23:42
Speaker 1: of what it was supposed to be right, Yeah, like
23:45
Speaker 1: if you're going into space sham too thinking it's gonna
23:46
Speaker 1: be like an Academy Award fucking movie. Like you're like, yo,
23:51
Speaker 1: this is this is not It's just an entertaining movie
23:54
Speaker 1: for children. And Lebron James seen it. I ain't seen
23:59
Speaker 1: ship Forget HBO Max, it's free. Just watch that ship
24:03
Speaker 1: at the crib. Just do that ship on. Is there
24:07
Speaker 1: any sort of like timeline for you guys when it
24:09
Speaker 1: comes to the follow up for this, because I know
24:12
Speaker 1: each we're waiting for. I said, we're waiting for your
24:14
Speaker 1: full time full length album. We're waiting on a new
24:18
Speaker 1: project from you. Do you think we're gonna get both
24:20
Speaker 1: of those before the end of the year. I'm not sure.
24:25
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't even tell you that, especially with
24:27
Speaker 1: me about to go on tour. It's a bunch of
24:29
Speaker 1: shows I'm finna do. I'm always creating, but to put
24:33
Speaker 1: out a body of work, especially at this moment, it's
24:37
Speaker 1: very pivotal, Like you gotta be everyone's watching, Yeah, like
24:41
Speaker 1: this is the moment where you gotta really lock in. Yeah,
24:45
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna take my time with It's kind of
24:46
Speaker 1: like your your Kendrick moment, Like Kendrick got the co
24:49
Speaker 1: signed Section eighty came out. It was cool, but we're
24:51
Speaker 1: all waiting to see what came Mad City sounded like me,
24:55
Speaker 1: you know, Dre Dre co signed him on the radio
24:58
Speaker 1: game passing the tour. I feel like that's where that's
25:00
Speaker 1: your position right now. That's tough. Are you. Are you
25:03
Speaker 1: finding yourself experimenting with it any, like different sonics like
25:07
Speaker 1: on the New Ship? Yeah, for sure, and mainly because
25:13
Speaker 1: I feel like people kind of predict what I'm gonna
25:16
Speaker 1: do or how I'm gonna come. So the new shit
25:19
Speaker 1: I've been doing like it's not too far away. Of course,
25:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick to my what I know, but I've
25:25
Speaker 1: been leveling enough for sure. Have you been seeking any
25:28
Speaker 1: outside production at all? Are you keeping it all? Yeah? Yeah,
25:31
Speaker 1: I had locked in with Mike and Keys recently just
25:34
Speaker 1: to get a different feel. Also, the artist that I
25:38
Speaker 1: told you about, Jay Million, he produced as well, and
25:40
Speaker 1: he played a bunch of instruments. So that's just been
25:44
Speaker 1: you know, leveling up the whole sound. What about your
25:47
Speaker 1: album for the end of the year, possibly, you know
25:51
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I feel like the goal after this
25:54
Speaker 1: is to you know, obviously keep it going, you know,
25:58
Speaker 1: with class and you know what I'm saying respectfully, however
26:02
Speaker 1: that however that is you know what I'm saying. I
26:04
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be the album or a
26:07
Speaker 1: mixtape or what, you know what I'm saying, but we
26:09
Speaker 1: will keep it going for sure. You obviously learning so
26:15
Speaker 1: much from Nip Man. Is there anything like on the
26:17
Speaker 1: entrepreneurial sideject getting involved in because you know he's kind
26:20
Speaker 1: of laid the blueprint for a lot of this generation.
26:23
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, what to do when it
26:25
Speaker 1: comes to just you know, having a bunch of eggs
26:29
Speaker 1: and different baskets besides the music shit. For sure. Yeah,
26:33
Speaker 1: I'll say the biggest thing you know what I'm saying
26:36
Speaker 1: that I want to continue. You know what I'm saying
26:38
Speaker 1: per se from Nip is just the community, you know
26:41
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like different outlets outside of music, you
26:44
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, just to promote growth and wellness,
26:49
Speaker 1: you feel me just within ourselves, bro, just all generations.
26:54
Speaker 1: I feel like it's necessary for someone you know what
26:57
Speaker 1: I'm saying, able to step in and kind of play
26:59
Speaker 1: that role fire Blast. You're on a lot of big
27:02
Speaker 1: festivals coming up in Vegas. You're rolling loud right, Yeah,
27:07
Speaker 1: Miami Loud, Miami. I heard you guys have a party Friday.
27:10
Speaker 1: Is that's true. Yeah, we're throwing a day party in Miami.
27:13
Speaker 1: I gotta fall through. I'm gonna be out there. But
27:18
Speaker 1: uh what what what? Because you're on some pretty crazy lineups, fact,
27:22
Speaker 1: pretty wild lineups. Which lineup did you see that? You
27:26
Speaker 1: were like, I need to watch this ship, like, because
27:29
Speaker 1: you're on some pretty crazy lineup that I see that
27:32
Speaker 1: that I'm on, Yeah, that you're on where You're like, man,
27:34
Speaker 1: we might need to just go be on some fan
27:36
Speaker 1: ship for this, I would say to her. Festival, it's
27:42
Speaker 1: coming up. It's gonna be in Oakland, Turn the Lights
27:44
Speaker 1: on festival. But it's hosted by Erica Badu in her
27:48
Speaker 1: so so as I seen Erica do, I'm like, I
27:50
Speaker 1: gotta come some ship. I ain't coming regularly. I gotta
27:53
Speaker 1: have a live band, background, singers, background, you know you
27:57

28:04
Speaker 1: she's crazy live. I've seen her early on at the observatory.
28:08
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of her. We mean asking for la, Like,
28:11
Speaker 1: why did you decide to do the Roxy? Well, you're
28:14
Speaker 1: doing it multiple times, right, Yeah, you probably could have
28:17
Speaker 1: did like the Novo like m or I don't know.
28:21
Speaker 1: I just wanted to keep it humble. I really didn't
28:24
Speaker 1: have no expectations until after we so, I mean I
28:28
Speaker 1: really didn't have no expectations period. But for the most part,
28:33
Speaker 1: like as far as the agency, it was just the
28:36
Speaker 1: dates didn't align with the tours, so the Roxy was
28:39
Speaker 1: the perfect fit to keep the tour in the same route.
28:41
Speaker 1: How many days are you doing in the Roxy? Doing
28:44
Speaker 1: two days too? You could probably do like eight crazy,
28:48
Speaker 1: I mean serious, it's like five hundred people there, right,
28:50
Speaker 1: it's like small in there. Yeah, it's it's hot as
28:53
Speaker 1: fucking the Roxy. I mean you've been there. Look, man,
28:56
Speaker 1: look the project is out, great timing for the summertime,
29:02
Speaker 1: great body of work. I think it's Uh, which song
29:05
Speaker 1: are you guys noticing? Is like the one that's like
29:07
Speaker 1: getting the TikTok's moving or getting like getting some love
29:11
Speaker 1: in the club? Is there like one record that's kind
29:13
Speaker 1: of standing out right now? On on six tape two
29:17
Speaker 1: or Is it just the whole projects getting loved that
29:19
Speaker 1: bit going. I ain't gonna lie. It's I'm just hearing
29:22
Speaker 1: the same thing from everybody. You know what I'm saying.
29:24
Speaker 1: You gotta let it play front to back, no skips,
29:27
Speaker 1: no skips. Man, Look, the album is out, go get it.
29:31
Speaker 1: We'll mixtape whatever we're calling it. Hopefully you and Draco
29:34
Speaker 1: put a project out, that incredible record, Go Crazy. I
29:38
Speaker 1: look forward to. You said you were tapping in with
29:40
Speaker 1: a bunch of LA artists. Who else in LA do
29:41
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of shit with? I wouldn't say
29:44
Speaker 1: a bunch of shit, but I'll say some names. Y'all
29:47
Speaker 1: need to get familiar with Airplane, James Sham, going Crazy,
29:52
Speaker 1: Shout Out Asia. The list goes on Blue Bush Claying.
29:55
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, It's a bunch of bunch
29:57
Speaker 1: of dope LA artists. Everybody needs to tap in with Shelfish.
30:02
Speaker 1: I felt like it would have been criminal had you
30:05
Speaker 1: have not made the Freshman cover. Talk about the Freshman thing,
30:12
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that. I felt like it was early, honestly,
30:16
Speaker 1: But like I said before, like the music speaks, you know,
30:20
Speaker 1: and that's just what I lived by, but I really
30:23
Speaker 1: felt like it was too early for me to be
30:26
Speaker 1: so yeah, maybe like next year or something, after the
30:29
Speaker 1: next project. But staff like they showed dumb love when
30:34
Speaker 1: I met with him, and they was a fan of
30:36
Speaker 1: the music over everything, And I appreciate that they still
30:39
Speaker 1: hold that integrity there. Like they get a lot of flak,
30:43
Speaker 1: but it's a couple of artists on there that I
30:45
