- 4:32SPEAKER_01: It's a song called Grimy World.
- 4:33SPEAKER_01: The video is out.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: You get a chance, go online, check out King Malachi Grimy World.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: No, but when you think about Dungeon Family, though, you gotta be an OG.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: Motherfuckers don't even know who was in the Dungeon Family, like the Dungeon Family.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: Let's go back.
- 4:46SPEAKER_01: Well, well, well, we'll just start here.
- 4:48SPEAKER_01: We'll just start here, right?
- 4:50SPEAKER_01: Arguably the best hip-hop artist in the history of hip-hop, one of the most, you know, revered artists, Andre 3000.
- 5:00SPEAKER_01: Up top is from Dungeon Family.
- 5:02SPEAKER_01: You understand what I'm saying?
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: You know, um, Outcast is arguably the biggest hip-hop group in the history of hip-hop selling diamond consecutively.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's crazy.
- 5:14SPEAKER_01: Then we got CeeLo Green.
- 5:15SPEAKER_01: So, you know, you know, it's crazy over there.
- 5:19SPEAKER_01: And those, I would I name those, you know, the dungeon is deep, but you got big.
- 5:23SPEAKER_01: You got big is one of my favorite dudes.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: Gip is my guy, you know what I'm saying?
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: So now my favorite dudes, yeah, yeah, Gip, my guy.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: Honestly, to keep it real, image-wise, Gip is the first outcast.
- 5:37SPEAKER_01: So, like, Gip has always been cutting edge with his fashion.
- 5:43SPEAKER_01: No, I know what you mean.
- 5:44SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: So before Andre got like that, Gip was already that, but he was like what I would call cool weird, right?
- 5:54SPEAKER_01: He's like a cool weirdo.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: I agree, you know what I'm saying?
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: Like a real I I didn't caught him on certain panels, he be spitting that ism too.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: Oh, he most definitely got the ism.
- 6:05SPEAKER_01: I mean, but uh you gotta know, Goody Mob is very conscious, so you know, that whole squad got the ism.
- 6:11SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: So you know, I remember one time I was sitting in the back of um Rico Wade Mansion on Adams Street on in Southwest Atlanta at um the second dungeon, right?
- 6:24SPEAKER_01: In the bottom of his mansion.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: And um, one day he was talking to me, right?
- 6:29SPEAKER_01: And I don't tell people this a lot, but one day he was talking to me, he said um that LA Reed told him that one day an artist would come along that was gonna personify the whole dungeon family.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: He said, and that artist is you, Malachi.
- 6:46SPEAKER_02: Okay, oh wow, that's you shout out to LA Reed, man, for doing the doing the vision.
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: LA Reed Legend executive, yeah, yeah, super, super legend executive, right?
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Super, so you know I mean what you what you feel about I would like to kind of go up.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: What you feel about A ball and MJG?
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: I feel like that was kind of that same era, right?
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: And I feel like A ball and MJG kind of didn't really get what they were supposed to get in a sense of like accolades.
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: Well, you gotta realize A ball and MJG didn't make huge records, they made right real fly street records.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: You feel what I'm saying?
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: But I feel like they made records for me, yeah.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: So so the reason why they don't get the super accolades because they didn't have super records, right?
- 7:31SPEAKER_01: See, outcast transcended with the records, right?
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: You know, they they went out of this world with the records, you know what I mean.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: What the fuck is this?
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: I have shit, but it was so it was above me, yeah.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Like I didn't get it, like you feel what I'm saying?
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but now I get it.
- 7:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, definitely.
- 7:50SPEAKER_02: Outcast is definitely like uh the first time I was able to go to Stank Only Studios, I was just geeked to just do that.
- 7:58SPEAKER_02: So I I so I never met them guys or wish I had been able to meet these guys.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, one day I can catch three stacks of New York, man, because he'd be in every everybody that's seen three stacks of New York except me.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: So I gotta go to New York, man, see three stacks, man, play the play the flute, man.
- 8:13SPEAKER_02: Cause they just he'd he'll just walk by.
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: You'd be like, you know, three three stacks.
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: Huh, real man.
- 8:18SPEAKER_02: So that's crazy.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: So as far as the music, your music, the question I have is now that I know that you rap and I just sing, how many albums and projects have you created, and what was your last project you created?
- 8:31SPEAKER_01: I have thousands of songs.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: Um, like I said, man, you know, um, I mean, bro, my my discography is crazy because you gotta realize my first check I got in the game was from Naughty by Nature.

- 12:55SPEAKER_01: I was one of the first.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: I was a I wanted to ask you that.
- 12:59SPEAKER_00: Look, based on something like that, right?
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: Do you feel like right now you had a place where you want to be, like in a sense of like the game?
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: The game has changed from analog art era.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: You said since 90, that was an analog era, that was a recognition tape out the trunk, like kind of like physical copy.
- 13:17SPEAKER_00: We in a whole different era now, right?
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: To where you might be just as important as you were back then now, but because the terrain is different, your importance don't really it kind of gets glossed over, right?
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: No, well, well, it ain't got nothing to do with that part you just mentioned.
- 13:34SPEAKER_01: Um, certain things get glossed over because all right, I'll give an example.

- 13:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: But they're all dope, and they might not understand that the niggas that like say like this, you wrote some shit, you was in the studio.
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: Say you was in the studio, you inspired a hook that you didn't get no credit for, but the hook was what made the song legendary.
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: Only only the niggas in the studio know that.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: Right now, you can tell me about it, and I can know from what you're saying that you're telling the truth, right?
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: But I'm saying that how does that make you feel right now that I don't know if you care about accolades.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you're wanting it for the money, the art, the accolades, whatever.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: In this era of music right now, I don't know what what you stand on or whatever, right?
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: How does that make you feel that I can look at you like, nigga, everything you just said was legendary, right?
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: But this generation, the streaming generation, might not even give, like that, the needle might not move on that.
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: How do you do you give a fuck about that?
- 14:49SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 14:51SPEAKER_01: See, the thing, the thing is, bro, just like in the Bible, right?
- 14:55SPEAKER_01: King David was already anointed the king, but Saul was still the figurehead sitting in the chair for years before David actually sat on the throne.

- 16:50SPEAKER_01: So now it's a different game.
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: Now, 30 years ago, hip-hop was 20 years old.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: 23 years old.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: So it was just for young niggas because hip-hop was only so old.
- 17:04SPEAKER_01: But now that hip-hop is the age of a grandfather, it's a different world.
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: So now you can make adult hip-hop and sell directly to those people who like damn, who done grew up, matured.
- 17:19SPEAKER_01: Now you just gotta, you know, make lyrics and songs that go with your age group.
- 17:26SPEAKER_01: Because now, see, the thing is, labels used to say, we only signing you if you're this age, blah, blah, blah.
- 17:33SPEAKER_01: But this shit ain't, we we we don't care about the labels no more.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: Because think about it, we really don't even give a fuck about SEO.
- 17:41SPEAKER_01: Because now you can go to YouTube and everything and program yourself exactly what you like.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: My thing is that kills everybody.
- 17:50SPEAKER_00: On some OG shit, I I I like the the drill music, the the game music, it just because I I'm a I'm a I'm an ex-criminal.
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: So a lot of the murder music still resonate with me, but I still do like my generation.
- 18:05SPEAKER_00: If you popping, I want to hear that shit.
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: Right, definitely.
- 18:09SPEAKER_00: I love I love it.

- 18:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I love the the the older, the older the uh artists, you know, rappers and singers too are just killing it, man.
- 18:19SPEAKER_02: We got Jay Z still doing it at a high level.
- 18:21SPEAKER_02: We got Nives, we got Pete Rock, uh Wu Tang, man, I didn't even bro, I didn't even know that Method Man was 55.
- 18:31SPEAKER_02: And he's killing it.
- 18:32SPEAKER_02: But he just spent like 48 bucks.
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: I said he's like, yeah, this nigga 55.
- 18:36SPEAKER_02: I said, Damn, you 55, Method.
- 18:38SPEAKER_02: I'm just like, so I love that, and it's crazy.
- 18:41SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be of course you're supposed to get better in your craft because it's just like everybody, it seemed like every artist that's like 35 and up is killing every artist that's 34 and down.
- 18:53SPEAKER_02: They got more, they got more life.
- 18:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they they killing the man.
- 18:57SPEAKER_02: So they got more life, man.
- 18:59SPEAKER_01: Life mean life means more to them at that moment.
- 19:02SPEAKER_01: They know what they know more what life is about.
- 19:05SPEAKER_01: So now, because they was a super young dude before, and they who they are now.
- 19:11SPEAKER_01: The thing is, I got the young see the thing about doing music and being an artist, long as you stay in the game, you're gonna always keep up with what's current.
- 19:20SPEAKER_01: Just like you don't start really getting old mentally until you just like detach yourself from the game.
- 19:26SPEAKER_01: That's why you over, that's why you over there were like, Yeah, I'm an OG and I'm an ex-criminal, so I still like drill, even though you might be right 40.
- 19:37SPEAKER_01: See what I'm saying?
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: I'm elevated, I'm elevated above it, but you get the culture that the culture I come from is like nigga, I kill you or I rob you, like you feel me, but I don't condone it.
- 19:48SPEAKER_00: I pay taxes now, I'm a different man.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: But but even like even you, see, like when we're talking about you right now, right?
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: Like just in my world, right?
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: Because I respect hip hop and music from where it came from, even the shit that got stolen from us, right?
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: When you saying all these crads, it's it's it's really like for real, bruh.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: It's like a thousand men like you that did shit in studios.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'd have been in a studio where somebody in the studio, I'd have been a nigga in the studio.
- 20:17SPEAKER_00: I'm not even an artist, but I did some in the studio to make that shit pop.
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: You feel me, I'm saying, right?
- 20:23SPEAKER_00: And I'm looking at you, it's like you've given so much to the game that nobody probably stepped back and went, hey, by the way, King Malachi.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: You feel me?
- 20:33SPEAKER_01: But see, but see, that's what just happened.
- 20:35SPEAKER_01: Like I said, God, everything is when the most high is ready.
- 20:39SPEAKER_01: We are always where we supposed to be at all times, right?
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: So now, out of nowhere, somebody called me on the phone, like, yo, uh, uh DC Young Fly and Carlos Nim talking about you on a podcast, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: So now it's like just them mentioning me on such a huge platform, it's just like all kind of it's like lifting up a brick and all kind of roaches coming from up under it.
- 21:06SPEAKER_01: So now all people who know my legend, go read under them comments.
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: They like, yo, this nigga being a legend.
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's one of my favorite songs.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: You nigga, you been king, nigga.
- 21:18SPEAKER_01: Because the work been the work been done, so but you gotta be patient and let the most high elevate you.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: Now, check this out.
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna take it back scripturally, right?
- 21:28SPEAKER_01: With King David, right?
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: Saul was trying to kill David, and David already knew that that Samuel came to his house and anointed him.
- 21:39SPEAKER_01: So he know officially by spirit, he the king of Israel.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: But the king who's sitting in the chair that everybody's still thinking is the figure, trying to fucking with him, he's trying to knock his head off, right?
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: Guess what?
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: David could have been killed Saul, but he took his time and let God got Saul out the way.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: In his own time.
- 22:01SPEAKER_01: It's a lesson in that.
- 22:03SPEAKER_01: The lesson is nobody can take from you what's for you.
- 22:07SPEAKER_01: And I'm going to tell you the secret, right?
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: I just moved back here.
- 22:10SPEAKER_01: I was just staying in Marcy Project, right?

- 26:34SPEAKER_01: Got to give the people, give the people what they want.
- 26:38SPEAKER_01: So I'm about to give the people what they want.
- 26:40SPEAKER_01: Carlos, see, the thing is sometimes this is the funny thing about life.
- 26:45SPEAKER_01: You we make all these new songs, we make all this stuff, we do, we travel all over the world, and sometimes you be looking for something that's already in your backyard.
- 26:54SPEAKER_02: Right, yeah, yeah, you're right.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: Because me, me, you know, get just to get a little personal.
- 27:00SPEAKER_02: Me and me and Dub was talking about our artists today, you know, shout out to uh W and I Mies, man.
- 27:06SPEAKER_02: And we was talking about having different promotional strategies, and we was talking about basically kind of what you're talking about, like taking a song and just and letting it breathe longer, you know, because it's so much fast food music, and just this, this, this.
- 27:21SPEAKER_02: Like, no, we're gonna take these body, this body of work, and we're gonna rock this out.
- 27:25SPEAKER_02: Well, wait, wait, sorry.
- 27:26SPEAKER_02: Wait, wait, wait, back up.
- 27:27SPEAKER_02: Fast food music.
- 27:28SPEAKER_02: What does that mean?
- 27:29SPEAKER_02: Fast food music, man.
- 27:30SPEAKER_02: Here today going tomorrow because so many people are just, you know, like, or not even just that.
- 27:36SPEAKER_02: Let me take that back.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: I miss spoke.
- 27:39SPEAKER_02: People are putting out so much music because they just feeling like I gotta just give them 50 mixtapes in one year.
- 27:45SPEAKER_02: And what's what's going on is you're diluting your brand by doing that.
- 27:49SPEAKER_02: Number one, just give them some of your best body of work and just promote, promote, promote, promote, promote.
- 27:55SPEAKER_02: Don't mixtape on the don't give them 12 mixtapes in a year.
- 27:59SPEAKER_02: And then you're wondering why five years after that, you're so burnt out as an artist that now the music sounds whack.
- 28:06SPEAKER_02: And what they saying, man, his old shit was fired five years ago, but you gave them you gave him 12 mixtapes in a year, and each mixtape had 40 tracks on it.
- 28:15SPEAKER_01: You want me to tell you something I would hate right now to be an artist starting brand new from scratch right now, because now you lumped in with these.
- 28:26SPEAKER_01: You gotta realize they said on average from a night from 90 to 100,000 songs are being uploaded every day.
- 28:34SPEAKER_01: That means every 10 days, this day there are a million songs coming out, right?
- 28:39SPEAKER_00: What exactly?
- 28:41SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, right?
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: Like trying to find a needle and a haystack for the new for the new best thing.
- 28:45SPEAKER_01: So let me give you some gang.
- 28:50SPEAKER_01: Let me give you some gang.
- 28:52SPEAKER_01: So guess what?
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: Music, your music gotta be better, it gotta be deeper than just it's hot right now.
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: So that's why I'm going back into my old catalog because those songs got eggs.
- 29:04SPEAKER_01: People got memories with those songs.
- 29:07SPEAKER_01: That's not just another hot song uploaded.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: Nigga, like nigga, out.
- 29:11SPEAKER_01: I was I was in college on that record, I was in elementary school, I was dating so-and-so.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: I used to sneak out the house to go to the club on that song.
- 29:19SPEAKER_01: You feel what I'm saying?
- 29:20SPEAKER_01: That's what they're about to buy to.
- 29:22SPEAKER_01: Because see, a song could be hot, but that don't mean they're gonna get up off their ass and pay$50 to come see you.
- 29:30SPEAKER_00: So when I go back into my No, no, no, no, not with that, not only that, bro.
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: We in an age right now, I ain't gonna lie to you.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: Like, listen to me, King.
- 29:39SPEAKER_00: If I was your manager, listen, we in an age almost of like throwback analog because we don't own nothing.
- 29:49SPEAKER_00: Everything is streaming and nothing is tangible.
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: But right now, we in a phase.
- 29:53SPEAKER_00: Ask Cal Wood.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: You can stream as much as you want and be like, nigga, they love me.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: But when it's payday time, the streaming services own everything, they own a button and go, we ain't gonna pay you right now because we detected this or we got a problem with that.
- 30:09SPEAKER_00: And they'll cut your shit off, you ain't get your check.
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: But you've been doing your job.
- 30:14SPEAKER_01: But guess what's the difference?
- 30:15SPEAKER_01: Guess what's the difference, though?
- 30:16SPEAKER_01: I already gave you the game.
- 30:18SPEAKER_01: The game is I'm going retro, period.
- 30:21SPEAKER_01: Right, that's why I said I'm going C's analog.
- 30:25SPEAKER_01: Yes, bro.
- 30:26SPEAKER_01: I'm going CD's vinyl, I'm going all everything I used to do before.
- 30:31SPEAKER_01: People went, period, bro.
- 30:33SPEAKER_01: I'm going, I'm going all the way back.
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: And it used to click, you go to you, and you gotta go to all them other channels with the antenna on the top.
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: Right, we're gonna remember, but in it was an age, bro.
- 30:46SPEAKER_00: Look, it was a rotary phone era.
- 30:48SPEAKER_00: We had the rollary phone, it's it's everything come back to analog, bro.
- 30:52SPEAKER_00: Everything, yeah.
- 30:53SPEAKER_02: So no, so that's good.
- 30:54SPEAKER_02: So at the end of the day, and what's what's dope about what you're talking about with this, with the songs about the you're about to redo, it's not even just about the music, like you were saying, it's about the feeling, and people are gonna buy it.
- 31:08SPEAKER_02: So you you double dip it because you bind, they bind it to the music, but they bind into the feeling.
- 31:13SPEAKER_02: And when they buy into the feeling, they're gonna pay, they're gonna they're gonna buy them tickets.
- 31:18SPEAKER_01: Let me let me let me let me let me let me be a little more meticulous.
- 31:22SPEAKER_01: I let me be a little more meticulous.
- 31:25SPEAKER_01: I'm adding on to what you're saying, but I'm gonna just really really get more meticulous.
- 31:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're buying the feeling, but guess what?
- 31:32SPEAKER_01: They're really buying the memory, the memories, yeah.
- 31:41SPEAKER_01: That's why people go to old school shows.
- 31:44SPEAKER_01: I'm going to see kidding play right now because when them niggas do that kick dance, when they doing the yeah, you you yeah, no, no, you're right.
- 31:52SPEAKER_00: Nostalgia is a part of it, you're right.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: That's everything, that's everything, bro.
- 31:57SPEAKER_00: Because now I'm saying right now, we from two different regions.
- 32:00SPEAKER_00: But if you start talking about some shit that I used to feel, you my friend.
- 32:04SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 32:05SPEAKER_01: But but but but look at where I'm going with it.
- 32:07SPEAKER_01: See, the thing is, everything has to start from some type of bass, right?
- 32:13SPEAKER_01: So when I go get a song that got a 25-year clientele, redo it, make sure it's perfect, sounding crazy, new engineering, the the sound, same song, but higher, but it's elevated, like how brute Bruno Mars and them take them old school songs and they date it, and it's like everybody going crazy.
- 32:37SPEAKER_01: The reason why Bruno Mars is killing them because he's taking an old field, modernizing it where young people can fuck with it, but then the old school people they knew the original where it came from, right?
- 32:50SPEAKER_01: So it's a homage, it's homage, and that's why they're coming out with new shows like Different World.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: Those shows do gonna do great because now they got the new kids who play in certain roles and the older heads.
- 33:03SPEAKER_01: So now they're getting two demographics, they're getting the people who was stuck on the original, and they're gonna get the new people, right?
- 33:10SPEAKER_01: So this is where I'm going.
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: My fan base, when I go service them correctly for real, with the shit that they already been loving for me for over the over the years, they're gonna get all these new people excited because they're gonna create a power wave.
- 33:26SPEAKER_01: So when that big ass title wave comes through, people are gonna be like, Oh shit, who is this guy making noise about?
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: And that's when I'm gonna eat.
- 33:35SPEAKER_01: That's what I mean.
- 33:37SPEAKER_02: And like and one more thing about go about it, go ahead, go ahead.
- 33:41SPEAKER_02: And one more thing about the about the about the memory.
- 33:44SPEAKER_02: You definitely write about that, King Man, because I was wondering why everybody was buying them six thousand dollar Stevie Wonder tickets.
- 33:56SPEAKER_02: Cause the damn memory, it gotta be the memory, because six thousand dollars is crazy.
- 34:00SPEAKER_02: And shout out to Stevie Wonder, man.
- 34:02SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm gonna tell you this what no what?
- 34:04SPEAKER_00: I was just in a car, we was driving, I we was talking yesterday, and I'm like, we was listening to Curtis Mayfield and the IZ brothers, right?
- 34:15SPEAKER_00: And when you listen to like just the songs that ran to play on Spotify, ain't nothing ain't been sampled.
- 34:24SPEAKER_00: Not nothing, right?
- 34:25SPEAKER_00: So when I look at this generation of music, like a lot of niggas in our generation be like, man, them niggas biting off this, or they oh bro, hip hop was made on samples.
- 34:37SPEAKER_00: Everything was about born, but you hope to do it so the person you bought it from would go, okay, I respect you.
- 34:45SPEAKER_00: That was dope.
- 34:46SPEAKER_00: I love that, right?
