1:00
Speaker 3: You know, what was your kind of like because I
1:04
Speaker 3: guess that's kind of the project that we kind of
1:07
Speaker 3: like you became more like a household name of hip
1:09
Speaker 3: hop that tager yours. Kind of give me a little
1:12
Speaker 3: breakdown on like your come up as a producer in Atlanta,
1:16
Speaker 3: because it is a very very flooded marketplace for producers
1:22
Speaker 3: these days, and it's hard to break through, it's hard
1:24
Speaker 3: to get placements. So kind of give me like a rundown,
1:26
Speaker 3: like how you started producing and like just your come up.
1:29
Speaker 2: Well, I started engineering, So engineering was like I got
1:34
Speaker 2: fired from my job and that became my job, you
1:36
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And that's how I was hustling
1:38
Speaker 2: and making money. But I always had the passion to
1:41
Speaker 2: be a producer. Engineering was literally just how I ate,
1:45
Speaker 2: you know, from day to day. But that's also how
1:47
Speaker 2: I met all the artists. And at that time, Atlanta
1:50
Speaker 2: was a place it still is, but it was even
1:52
Speaker 2: more of a place where we just embraced everybody. So
1:55
Speaker 2: if you was from Atlanta and you knew you know
1:58
Speaker 2: such and such, or you went to high school such
2:00
Speaker 2: and such, you had an opportunity to get inside the
2:01
Speaker 2: studio if you knew what you was doing. So I
2:04
Speaker 2: took so many of those opportunities, just friends and people that.
2:07
Speaker 4: I grew up with, Like, you know, I'll record you
2:09
Speaker 4: for free.
2:09
Speaker 3: I got beats for free.
2:11
Speaker 2: Shit, I'll sit here all night for free, you know
2:13
Speaker 2: what I mean, whatever it is, and I just slowly
2:15
Speaker 2: just started.
2:17
Speaker 1: They give you an inch and you took a foot.
2:19
Speaker 3: I took like three feet he took you know what
2:21
Speaker 3: I mean?
2:22
Speaker 2: People don't even know, Like even like the Metro and
2:25
Speaker 2: twenty one Savage album, I recorded most of that.
2:28
Speaker 1: Oh that's crazy.
2:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I recorded most of that, and even like X Bitch,
2:32
Speaker 2: I recorded that.
2:33
Speaker 3: That was like my engineer career.
2:36
Speaker 2: And then when Gunner kind of started getting his traction,
2:39
Speaker 2: that was the first person that was just rapping on
2:41
Speaker 2: my beats. And we did Okay and Drip season three
2:45
Speaker 2: together and all that stuff, and that's when it was like, Okay, Turbo, naa,
2:48
Speaker 2: he's not an engineer, he's a producer.
2:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:50
Speaker 3: A lot of people who don't know, like, first of all,
2:53
Speaker 3: if you're a producer or an artist, to have the
2:56
Speaker 3: ability to be an engineer as well, Yeah, it's such
2:59
Speaker 3: a nice way to just get in the door.
3:01
Speaker 1: Like I could record.
3:02
Speaker 5: You record yourself, you know what I mean, like, but
3:06
Speaker 5: like so many dope producers and artists, I know, they
3:10
Speaker 5: started off as the guy in the studio that no
3:12
Speaker 5: one really pays attention.
3:13
Speaker 1: To, that's running the pro tools, doing the effects.
3:16
Speaker 3: And like also, if you're a good engineer, you low
3:19
Speaker 3: key are doing some sort of production too on that
3:21
Speaker 3: fucking record face because you're you're you're dropping ship out
3:25
Speaker 3: your you're you might put some effects on some ship.
3:28
Speaker 1: Like, so that's dope. Like if you're an engineer out there.
3:30
Speaker 3: That's why I tell all my homies, like my my
3:32
Speaker 3: guy who runs my studio here, he's my engineer, but
3:36
Speaker 3: he's also a producer and songwriter.
3:38
Speaker 2: You gotta do both these days. You gotta do THEMN
3:40
Speaker 2: there three things these days just even cut through.
3:43
Speaker 1: You had to just bring value to the table man.
3:44
Speaker 3: Super value and be consistent for sure.
3:47
Speaker 1: Damn.
3:47
Speaker 3: So you were in the studio, So for you, like,
3:50
Speaker 3: were you was it like a thing where everyone knew
3:52
Speaker 3: you made beats? Or did you not want to like
3:55
Speaker 3: be the guy who's the engineer who's also hey, by
3:58
Speaker 3: the way, y'all, I got some here's that guy I
4:00
Speaker 3: was there, you know what I mean?
4:02
Speaker 1: But you had some heat so there's a difference.
4:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, oh this I'm the engineer that got
4:06
Speaker 2: some shit, you know what I mean. And it's like, oh,
4:08
Speaker 2: call him back tomorrow and call him back. You know,
4:11
Speaker 2: you can call me in an hour and I'm gonna
4:12
Speaker 2: be there in an hour, you know what I mean.
4:14
Speaker 2: It's not it's not no boozie shit, you know.
4:16
Speaker 3: What I mean. Is it like, because I would say
4:18
Speaker 3: that about Atlanta, is it feels like a much more
4:22
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say easy, but it feels like more of
4:23
Speaker 3: a community, you know, in terms of the music side,
4:26
Speaker 3: because being in LA, I feel like everybody's real like
4:29
Speaker 3: stingy with the connects, stingy with just everything with their energy.
4:33
Speaker 3: I feel like in Atlanta it feels like like I mean,
4:36
Speaker 3: I've gone to Atlanta studio sessions and everyone's just hanging out.
4:39
Speaker 1: Like people could just pull up like it.
4:40
Speaker 3: Do you do you feel that difference now that you're
4:42
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're going to LA sessions or you're in
4:44
Speaker 3: the mix more in different places.
4:46
Speaker 1: It's nothing like Atlanta.
4:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nothing like home. It's nothing like the South,
4:51
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But especially Atlanta, that's a
4:54
Speaker 2: place where, like you you know, to embrace whoever's coming up,
4:58
Speaker 2: you know, to embrace Atlanta, you know, to fuck with
5:01
Speaker 2: the younger guys, you know what I mean, that's.
5:03
Speaker 4: Part of the culture.
5:05
Speaker 2: It wasn't until I started traveling that it was like, Oh,
5:08
Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to tell you, you know, like you know
5:11
Speaker 2: this guy or introduce you to get this guy. Is like,
5:13
Speaker 2: that's y'all. Don't do that type of shit. Like I
5:15
Speaker 2: do that shit all the time, you know what I mean.
5:17
Speaker 3: It's almost in the dna of that city to like
5:20
Speaker 3: like be on the because I mean, Atlanta's had the
5:23
Speaker 3: culture for twenty twenty five years now fact, so it's
5:25
Speaker 3: almost like it's the most Atlanta shit ever to break
5:29
Speaker 3: artists because eddy of the new shit's always coming out
5:31
Speaker 3: of the South. It's very seldomly it'll be out of
5:34
Speaker 3: New York or it'll be out of LA. So it's
5:36
Speaker 3: almost like that's kind of what y'all do.
5:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta make your stop in Atlanta. You gotta
5:40
Speaker 2: spend some months in Atlanta and run through those studios
5:43
Speaker 2: and see what they feel like.
5:44
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that's something Because we always have
5:46
Speaker 3: these conversations about LA artists not breaking through because there's
5:49
Speaker 3: some really dope, talented LA artists that for whatever reason,
5:53
Speaker 3: like get to a certain point and then they have
5:55
Speaker 3: a hard time kind of getting over the hill in
5:57
Speaker 3: terms of like maybe being hot in the South. Or
6:01
Speaker 3: do you feel like because like a guy like we
6:02
Speaker 3: got a homie Kaitlin for real, for real, who he
6:05
Speaker 3: went out to Atlanta for like a year and just
6:07
Speaker 3: cooked hung out with DJ's And I feel like that's
6:10
Speaker 3: important for anybody, Like you said, no matter where you're from,
6:13
Speaker 3: you could be from fucking Indianapolis, you could be from
6:15
Speaker 3: wherever you gotta go.
6:17
Speaker 1: Spend some time in the A.
6:18
Speaker 2: Yeah facts, I mean, I know Kaitlin too. Yeah, I
6:24
Speaker 2: mean I don't I don't know what it is, but
6:26
Speaker 2: you have to stop through there. It's like how LA
6:28
Speaker 2: used to be, you know what I mean, And everybody
6:30
Speaker 2: had to come to l A for some type of reason.
6:32
Speaker 2: You got to go to Atlanta to feel that culture.
6:35
Speaker 2: You got to I don't know what, I don't know
6:37
Speaker 2: what it is.
6:38
Speaker 1: You have some some wings the Blue Flame, for god.
6:41

7:00
Speaker 3: as a moff, like a Metallica nickel.
7:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:03
Speaker 2: They that kind of updated it a little more, you
7:06
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying a little a little bit. But yeah,
7:08
Speaker 2: that's the place where you're going to eat at and
7:10
Speaker 2: throw one dollar at a.
7:11
Speaker 1: Time, one time. Yeah, you fold it up.
7:17
Speaker 2: Yeah there, GTA Yeah.

Speaker 1: Uh, you got your own holiday in Fulton County.
7:25
Speaker 3: Yep. Turbo Day Yep.
7:26
Speaker 1: That's gotta be fucking sweet man.
7:28
Speaker 3: It's incredibly what happens at like what we see that happening,
7:31
Speaker 3: but like what comes with that anything cool?
7:33
Speaker 2: I mean we're organizing right now the Turbo Day July eighth.
7:38
Speaker 2: It's just really like an opportunity for me to just
7:41
Speaker 2: do stuff for like the kids in the community.
7:43
Speaker 1: So you kind of turned into an opportunity to help
7:44
Speaker 1: the community.
7:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, give it give it
7:46
Speaker 2: an actual time and place instead of it, you know,
7:50
Speaker 2: me coming for a Memorial Day or something like that
7:52
Speaker 2: and trying to do something or compete so Thanksgiving, yeah,
7:56
Speaker 2: you know, turkey driving all that stuff.
7:57
Speaker 3: I did Turkey drives this year too, But with your
8:00
Speaker 3: day is like it came about.
8:02
Speaker 2: I was trying to do something for the community, but
8:04
Speaker 2: you needed like permits and all of this stuff to
8:07
Speaker 2: take over, like the parks and stuff down there.
8:10
Speaker 3: You can't just do it.
8:11
Speaker 2: And I got to working with the city and we
8:13
Speaker 2: just couldn't knock it out last year, and they gave
8:16
Speaker 2: me a day just for even trying and trying to
8:18
Speaker 2: really like make it happen because nobody does anything on
8:20
Speaker 2: that side, and that it.
8:22
Speaker 3: Just be easier to just do it this year.
8:24
Speaker 2: You know, I already know who the right people to
8:26
Speaker 2: call and how to organize everything.
8:29
Speaker 3: So it's it's for me.
8:31
Speaker 2: It's just a way to show the kids, this is something,
8:34
Speaker 2: This is what you do once you get to this
8:36
Speaker 2: place and inspire these kids because it was nobody that
8:40
Speaker 2: was doing that when I was young.
8:42
Speaker 3: What is for people who are watching this, maybe some
8:44
Speaker 3: kids who are watching this who are trying to figure
8:46
Speaker 3: out the production game? What is your layout? Are you
8:48
Speaker 3: using pro tools or using fruity loops? Like?
8:51
Speaker 1: What is your production interface? Your go to?
8:55
Speaker 3: That's some exclusive shit, but I'm gonna tell you know
8:57
Speaker 3: what I mean.
8:58
Speaker 4: But I you.
9:01
Speaker 2: A number of things, so it could be a little
9:05
Speaker 2: bit of able ten for my melodies and into FL
9:08
Speaker 2: and I mix it in pro tools or reverse it.
9:11
Speaker 2: And you know, if we're going through the through the keyboards,
9:14
Speaker 2: I'm recording in pro tools and taking it to fl
9:18
Speaker 2: and cleaning it up and able to.
9:19
Speaker 3: But that's like usually my main.
9:21
Speaker 1: Three, those three.
9:22
Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy, Like I feel like more hip
9:24
Speaker 3: hop producers should use able to because I feel like
9:26
Speaker 3: they don't. Yeah, because Ableton, like it's hard to use.
9:29
Speaker 1: It's very intimidating when you open it.
9:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the word.
9:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:35
Speaker 3: But like I feel like because I've like, I got
9:37
Speaker 3: a homie of mine who uses Ableton, and he'll show
9:39
Speaker 3: me things you can do in able ten, And I'm like,
9:41
Speaker 3: why isn't everybody using this? This is crazy shit difficult
9:44
Speaker 3: to use. No, but it looks crazy because it looks
9:47
Speaker 3: different than like fruity loops or pro tools. It's like
9:49
Speaker 3: its own thing. And then they got that able to touch
9:51
Speaker 3: with all the buttons and shit, Yeah, it's difficult. It's difficult,
9:56
Speaker 3: but it's hard.
9:56
Speaker 1: Though.
9:57
Speaker 3: What do you like?
9:57
Speaker 1: Do you are you like active looking for packs.
10:01
Speaker 3: In terms of your sounds and ship or you like
10:03
Speaker 3: having people send you packs or you getting loops?
10:06
Speaker 1: Are you doing like your own loops? Like give me
10:08
Speaker 1: you say packs?
10:09
Speaker 3: Like you got it? Like you're like where you get
10:11
Speaker 3: your drums? Are you finding your own drums? Are you
10:13
Speaker 3: are you grabbed? Yeah?
10:15
Speaker 2: Kinda like if it's like a certain time and I
10:18
Speaker 2: need a certain thing, I'll tweet it out and they're like,
10:20
Speaker 2: all the guys will send me something, yeah, and I
10:23
Speaker 2: go through them. But I got a programmer in Atlanta
10:25
Speaker 2: and he just keep me up to date with all
10:27
Speaker 2: the newest, newest ship.
10:28
Speaker 3: What about on the loop side, because that is an
10:30
Speaker 3: entry point for a lot of up andcoming producers. I'm
10:32
Speaker 3: stepping away from loops. I'm doing my own melodies.
10:34
Speaker 4: Okay.
10:35
Speaker 2: It's like the loop game is just became a fucking
10:40
Speaker 2: It's not the loop game anymore, you know what I mean.
10:43
Speaker 2: It's like a it's like a different place, and I
10:45
Speaker 2: feel like it's it's no originality in it.
10:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, for people who don't know, because it's some producer
10:50
Speaker 3: geeks to talk. Like, if you're an up and cooming producer,
10:54
Speaker 3: you might send out, Hey, I'm looking for some loops,
10:56
Speaker 3: right Yeah, And so that might be your way in
10:59
Speaker 3: if you got some or samples or loops, that could
11:02
Speaker 3: be your way into getting your first placement. And but
11:05
Speaker 3: then you got, like you said, the loop ship's getting
11:07
Speaker 3: so washed washed down because it's because it's all these
11:12
Speaker 3: free loops. What's the website called with all the fucking
11:14
Speaker 3: packs and Splice and there's all this shit. So it's
11:17
Speaker 3: like I always compared to like dj and Serato, like
11:20
Speaker 3: when Soerado came, like it made DJing so much easier, right,
11:23
Speaker 3: you didn't need to have these turn record and I
11:26
Speaker 3: feel like Splices like that with producers because like you
11:28
Speaker 3: really don't need to know how to make a beat.
11:30
Speaker 3: All you really got to do is just line up
11:32
Speaker 3: bars and like you could go on Splice and if
11:35
Speaker 3: you're at least like semi competent on pro tools, you
11:38
Speaker 3: can get it. You can get it.
11:39
Speaker 1: You can make a beat for sure.
11:41
Speaker 3: So it's like I've just noticed that like just so
11:44
Speaker 3: much more. I'm like, you know, we had an artist
11:46
Speaker 3: we were working with and this kid never made a
11:47
Speaker 3: beat before, and he downloaded a bunch of shit on
11:49
Speaker 3: Splice and he played a beat and I was like, hey, yo,
11:52
Speaker 3: who did this He's like I just did it.
11:54
Speaker 1: And I was like, you just did it. He's like
11:56
Speaker 1: it's the first beat IVE ever made.
11:59
Speaker 3: N Bake.
12:00
Speaker 1: I was like, this, shit is what's happening? Like, how
12:03
Speaker 1: is this possible?
12:04
Speaker 3: Like, because you know, when I was a kid, we
12:05
Speaker 3: had the funk Master Flex video game on a PlayStation
12:07
Speaker 3: two MTV Degenerate on the first PlayStation. You make beats
12:12
Speaker 3: on the PlayStation it was fire. Yeah, So there was
12:17
Speaker 3: this MTV beat making video game on the first PlayStation,
12:20
Speaker 3: and then there was a funk Flex beat making game
12:22
Speaker 3: on the PS two that was fire. Like you could
12:26
Speaker 3: like program beats on this fucking game. There was like
12:28
Speaker 3: actual like some producers who would like actually like run
12:31
Speaker 3: the PlayStation into like pro tools and take the beats.
12:34
Speaker 4: Out of it.
12:35
Speaker 1: Super fire.
12:36
Speaker 3: You used to check it out, but it just always
12:40
Speaker 3: seemed like this super complex process. But I feel like
12:45
Speaker 3: it's just been simplified so much, especially with like, you know,
12:47
Speaker 3: obviously rooty loop has been popular for twenty years now.
12:49
Speaker 3: But for you, is it like how hard is it
12:52
Speaker 3: for you to kind of stay inspired when there's just
12:55
Speaker 3: so much shit out there?
12:56
Speaker 2: Oh, just living a regular life, you know what I mean?
13:01
Speaker 2: Not putting too much pressure on myself. It's not It's
13:04
Speaker 2: not really hard because you know, back in the day
13:07
Speaker 2: when it was like all about bands and stuff like that,
13:10
Speaker 2: they literally would just sit around and jam out.
13:12
Speaker 3: It wasn't anything like, oh, we're gonna go and make
13:15
Speaker 3: a beat.
13:15
Speaker 2: And so I just try to live like a regular
13:18
Speaker 2: life and just enjoy my day.
13:21
Speaker 4: I always say that.
13:21
Speaker 3: If I have a good day, then it's just gonna
13:23
Speaker 3: pour out of me.
13:24
Speaker 2: I don't have to smoke and do all this weirdsh
13:27
Speaker 2: just like whatever whatever I'm feeling that day, and then
13:30
Speaker 2: I let it be.
13:31
Speaker 4: It's gonna be, and I go on to the next day.
13:32
Speaker 1: I hit that as getting toasted. Here these lights.
13:38
Speaker 2: You don't smoke, Yeah, smoke, I ain't even meant depend on't.
13:43
Speaker 2: It's not like it's not like, oh, I'm finna get
13:46
Speaker 2: high as a motherfucker to go and make music.
13:48
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. I can drip too hard beat.
13:50
Speaker 2: I made it on the computer speakers, you know what
13:53
Speaker 2: I mean, Like falling asleep from leaving the studio one
13:57
Speaker 2: morning and didn't think it was gonna do anything.
14:00
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, because your chemistry with Gunn
14:04
Speaker 3: is pretty crazy. We don't get a lot of you know,
14:07
Speaker 3: when I was growing up, we had producers and artists
14:09
Speaker 3: locked the fucking Riz and wan Claim the Bang Star,
14:15
Speaker 3: but DJ Premiere and Guru and but I feel like
14:17
Speaker 3: you guys are kind of your own version of that,
14:19
Speaker 3: and it's been it's been like that for a while.
14:22
Speaker 3: How did you initially meet Gunning? We found the same neighborhood.
14:26
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've known him for a very long time.
14:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, was he?
14:30
Speaker 3: Because I always say, like between him and Baby over
14:33
Speaker 3: the last like six or seven years, just the like
14:37
Speaker 3: improvement at just bars and like actual rapping is like
14:42
Speaker 3: I don't I'll venture to say, we have never really
14:44
Speaker 3: seen somebody like jumps so far ahead at just the
14:47
Speaker 3: skill of rapping in a short amount of time. Did
14:50
Speaker 3: you always kind of see that in him?
14:54
Speaker 2: I think in the beginning it was just like any producer,
14:58
Speaker 2: you just want somebody to rap on your ship. So
15:01
Speaker 2: we was from the same side, We knew each other,
15:03
Speaker 2: we had mutual friends, and it was it was just
15:05
Speaker 2: easy and I knew it was something different. But I
15:07
Speaker 2: can't just say, you know.
15:09
Speaker 3: Because he's very different for people like like we're used
15:12
Speaker 3: to the sound now because everyone's taking it.
15:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, done their own version of what gun right, But.
15:17
Speaker 3: Like seven years ago, six years ago, five years ago,
15:20
Speaker 3: it wasn't the sound.
15:20
Speaker 1: Everybody was like what the fuck is this?
15:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like you really had to kind of be like, man,
15:24
Speaker 3: this is different. We just gonna roll with it, like yeah,
15:27
Speaker 3: I mean I make beads to spigure this out. It
15:29
Speaker 3: felt good, Yeah, you know what I mean. It wasn't
15:31
Speaker 3: It wasn't no pressure.
15:32
Speaker 2: And like you know, at that time, like nobody was
15:35
Speaker 2: doing guitars and I love the acoustic music, and he
15:38
Speaker 2: sounded good on guitars, and it just it just worked.
15:40
Speaker 5: Bro.
15:41
Speaker 2: It was like it was it was a natural thing.
15:43
Speaker 2: It wasn't anything that was for so even just seeing
15:47
Speaker 2: something different, the only thing I could see different was
15:49
Speaker 2: we're gonna stay in the studio the longest. Ethics gonna
15:53
Speaker 2: it matches, you know what I mean. He's not leaving
15:55
Speaker 2: before me. I'm not leaving before him. And it's damn
15:58
Speaker 2: there a competition. So early on, that's what we was doing,
16:02
Speaker 2: we leaving the studio seven in the morning and coming
16:04
Speaker 2: right back at twelve. To the point where, like especially
16:08
Speaker 2: those days right before it popped off, I really remember
16:11
Speaker 2: asking myself what am I doing this for?
16:14
Speaker 1: Right?
16:14
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
16:14
Speaker 2: I didn't have much success, but I'm like, bro, we
16:17
Speaker 2: really going to the studio and we in the studio
16:19
Speaker 2: all day.
16:19
Speaker 3: I don't got all this time and bandwidth into this
16:23
Speaker 3: and you don't even know if it's gonna work out.
16:25
Speaker 3: I don't even know what we're doing this for, you
16:28
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
16:28
Speaker 4: It's like, what do we try?
16:31
Speaker 2: I know we're working on a project and it was
16:32
Speaker 2: Drip season three at the time, but you know, I
16:35
Speaker 2: didn't know why we was working so hard. And you know,
16:39
Speaker 2: I mixed Drip season three and the same night he
16:42
Speaker 2: was trying to record and I remember him telling me,
16:44
Speaker 2: like because I was pissed. I'm like, bro, I've been
16:46
Speaker 2: missing this fucking album all day. Bro, Like, what do
16:49
Speaker 2: you mean play some beats? I don't got no beats.
16:51
Speaker 2: I'm tired. I want to just chill, you know what
16:53
Speaker 2: I mean. And it's like, Bro, trust the process, bro,
16:56
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, you know, don't burn out and
16:59
Speaker 2: just place and beach.
17:00
Speaker 4: Just got to keep going. We fin to do it.
17:01
Speaker 4: And I'm like, he's crazy.
17:04
Speaker 3: Bro, But it really was the truth.
17:09
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying and even comparing to like
17:12
Speaker 2: some of the producers I came in with, my trajectory
17:15
Speaker 2: has been way further, you.
17:17
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
17:18
Speaker 2: Like it's a lot of guys I came in with,
17:20
Speaker 2: but they have success, you know, goal success, Like you know,
17:23
Speaker 2: I'm not happy unless it's platinum, right, And that became.
17:26
Speaker 3: A normal thing. But it was all about.
17:28
Speaker 2: What we was putting into the music and how much
17:30
Speaker 2: time we were spending on it. So that was like
17:33
Speaker 2: that was like a good lesson that I was able
17:35
Speaker 2: to learn with him. You know what I mean, what
17:37
Speaker 2: is his writing process?
17:38
Speaker 4: Like it is it?
17:40
Speaker 3: Because you know, everybody's got their own. I mean I've
17:43
Speaker 3: been in the studio with guys with it just beat
17:45
Speaker 3: to play for like five minutes, ten minutes, and they'll
17:47
Speaker 3: just lay down a bunch of shit, but I like
17:49
Speaker 3: this part.
17:50
Speaker 1: I like this part, and then they'll put it.
17:51
Speaker 2: Together kind of. I mean, he got his own recording process.
17:56
Speaker 2: But it's it's not like a you know, pinning pad
17:58
Speaker 2: type of thing. It's like a player b if you
18:00
Speaker 2: feel good, pull it up, you're gonna do it and
18:03
Speaker 2: we're gonna do something else, you know what I mean.
18:04
Speaker 2: It's not really a this or that, and it's different
18:07
Speaker 2: every time.
18:08
Speaker 3: Have you had any because I saw an interview did
18:12
Speaker 3: not too long ago, because I thought it was dope
18:16
Speaker 3: how everything happened to way it happened, and you stood
18:18
Speaker 3: by your guy.
18:19
Speaker 5: Ye.
18:19
Speaker 1: Now you guys.
18:20
Speaker 3: Have a number one album, A lot of people saying
18:22
Speaker 3: album of the Year last year, snubbed for the Grammy, by.
18:25
Speaker 1: The way, insane, Yeah, snubbed.
18:28
Speaker 4: It happens.
18:29
Speaker 1: It's wild, Well it happened.
18:31
Speaker 3: But for you have like to kind of like be
18:34
Speaker 3: that loyal and still be like, yo, we're locked in
18:37
Speaker 3: because you were talking to him every day when he
18:38
Speaker 3: was locked up. I saw hasd Like were other relationships
18:43
Speaker 3: for you in the music industry affected by that?
18:46
Speaker 4: I don't know yet, right, you know what I mean.
18:49
Speaker 2: It's not weird when I'm out and when I'm doing stuff,
18:52
Speaker 2: But I mean, I don't know yet.
18:54
Speaker 3: I always been.
18:55
Speaker 2: Like a person that just stay in the studio and
18:57
Speaker 2: keep to myself. So I was never chummy chum with
19:00
Speaker 2: people to the point to where I would notice like, oh,
19:02
Speaker 2: this guy's acting different, or this guy's acting different.
19:04
Speaker 1: You're not the guy who was like up in the mix,
19:05
Speaker 1: fucking You're You're about work.
19:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.
19:09
Speaker 2: I'm not going to your house party and shit every
19:11
Speaker 2: day and you know whatever, whatever people do. I enjoy
19:15
Speaker 2: being in the studio and just like working and learning
19:17
Speaker 2: new stuff.
19:17
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't say that.
19:20
Speaker 2: It's definitely, you know, something to think about when I'm
19:23
Speaker 2: moving around, But most of the time I forget, you know.
19:26
Speaker 3: Because it's it's nothing makes sense these days.
19:30
Speaker 1: It's yeah, for sure. I always tell people just like
19:33
Speaker 1: we don't even know what is really going right.
19:35
Speaker 4: I don't.
19:36
Speaker 3: I think nobody knows what's going on. So it's like
19:38
Speaker 3: you got to be a leader at get off the
19:40
Speaker 3: shade room, man, you know what I mean. For you,
19:42
Speaker 3: I always wonder I know you didn't make this beat,
19:44
Speaker 3: but I know you were very heavily a part of
19:46
Speaker 3: the process of this album. The fuck you mean beat
19:49
Speaker 3: was insane? Yeah, were you like when you first just
19:51
Speaker 3: heard that beat? That beat is so crazy and that
19:54
Speaker 3: sampling that beat just that had to be because I
19:57
Speaker 3: can only imagine, like, as a producer, you probably hear
19:59
Speaker 3: beat everyone's.
20:00
Speaker 1: Like, fuck I wish I made that one. Yeah for sure,
20:02
Speaker 1: and that had to be one of those.
20:03
Speaker 2: But he was kind of like hesitant about the song
20:07
Speaker 2: really oh yeah, super hesitant, like and I was like, bro,
20:11
Speaker 2: this is hard, Like you need to put this, put.
20:14
Speaker 4: This on it.
20:14
Speaker 2: He like you think so. I'm like yeah, cause we
20:17
Speaker 2: was locked in and I had to go back to
20:19
Speaker 2: Atlanta for like a week, two weeks or something like that,
20:21
Speaker 2: and came back and he had it done and he
20:24
Speaker 2: was playing me just like all the new stuff, and
20:27
Speaker 2: he played that, but he was damn there fin to
20:29
Speaker 2: skip over it, and I'm like, what's this. He played
20:32
Speaker 2: it and I'm like, yeah, this is hard, and he's
20:34
Speaker 2: like you think so. I'm like, bro, you need to
20:38
Speaker 2: put that in comparison to everything else. You need to
20:40
Speaker 2: put this out. Was like, all right, it's crazy. Yeah,
20:42
Speaker 2: dunk rock, that's that's my man. Doun'k been working for
20:44
Speaker 2: a long time for sure. He was sitting outside the
20:47
Speaker 2: studio in like twenty nineteen with a big ass sign.
20:51
Speaker 1: I remember that, Yeah, yeah that's the guy.
20:54
Speaker 4: Yeah that's me recording the video.
20:55
Speaker 1: Oh I remember that.
20:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's dunk rock.
20:58
Speaker 2: Like he been grinding for a long own time, and
21:01
Speaker 2: like he would come to all the events, producer events
21:03
Speaker 2: in Atlanta and in La anywhere, so I've been seeing
21:07
Speaker 2: him for a long time, so when I found out
21:08
Speaker 2: that that was his beat, I was more so more
21:11
Speaker 2: exciting about it, like oh yeah, like oh this is
21:14
Speaker 2: this is broke. And then when it started taking office,
21:17
Speaker 2: like you know, I like to see that, bro like
21:19
Speaker 2: if you're working and you doing you grinding like stuff
21:21
Speaker 2: that's not normal, you're not begging and it works for
21:24
Speaker 2: you on that type of level, Like I was more
21:26
Speaker 2: so happy for him.
21:27
Speaker 1: That's super far. You're working on like a compilation type project.
21:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, my album?
21:31
Speaker 4: Yeah?

Speaker 2: Nobody will want to just confirm right now, you know
21:36
Speaker 2: how that shit go, you know.
21:38
Speaker 3: But it's definitely exciting.
21:40
Speaker 2: It's definitely something that you never heard of, and it's
21:42
Speaker 2: gonna put a put a pole inside the world of
21:45
Speaker 2: what my.
21:46
Speaker 3: Music sounded like. Okay, you know what I mean. Flag pole, flagpole.
21:52
Speaker 3: I was thinking it for Stripper pot first.
21:57
Speaker 4: Everything.
22:00
Speaker 3: We gotta leave it and go to the UH or
22:03
Speaker 3: obviously the Bauchler Records doing this thing, but like what
22:05

Speaker 3: more music?
22:08
Speaker 2: The bouncer or the Bachelor, The Bachelor, Yeah, Bachelor what's
22:12
Speaker 2: the plan?

22:24
Speaker 2: gonna be something, you know, fun And I'm just trying
22:28
Speaker 2: to weigh it out right now.
22:29
Speaker 3: See what I want to use. My catalog is nuts
22:32
Speaker 3: at this point. You probably got like so many songs
22:35
Speaker 3: just sitting in there. So many ain't even the word,
22:37
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's like so many times
22:40
Speaker 3: time six, you know what I mean. But I just
22:43
Speaker 3: want to I just want to make it make sense
22:45
Speaker 3: at this point, like these days, that timing is everything.
22:49
Speaker 3: Outside of Gunner, who's another artist that you would love
22:52
Speaker 3: to do like a full body of work with because
22:55
Speaker 3: that's in again.
22:56
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I was just telling about Court.
23:00
Speaker 2: I'm like bro like back in the day, like it
23:03
Speaker 2: used to be one producer, right, you.
23:05
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying.
23:06
Speaker 2: And that was like the NAS days and the nineties
23:09
Speaker 2: and all that, like it was well, well not Nas.
23:12
Speaker 1: It felt very curated.
23:13
Speaker 3: It felt very like even if you're not getting every
23:16
Speaker 3: like like you know, it felt like the albums were
23:18
Speaker 3: moving in.
23:19
Speaker 2: Sonically because it was one sound, yeah exactly, so like
23:22
Speaker 2: it we got to get back to that to that point.
23:26
Speaker 2: I would love to do that with a lot of
23:27
Speaker 2: different people. I work a lot of a lot with
23:30
Speaker 2: Roddy and I'm doing like his next project right now.
23:33
Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, how's it sounding because we're waiting incredible.
23:37
Speaker 3: Roddy's an alien people. People don't understand Roody's a fucking alien.
23:40
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, he different.
23:42
Speaker 3: And it sucks because, like I feel like, please excuse
23:45
Speaker 3: me for being anti social. Came out in December of
23:48
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, and then the Pandemic hits. The box is
23:53
Speaker 3: the biggest song in the fucking world, and like he
23:56
Speaker 3: really really wasn't able to like fully enjoy what that
24:00
Speaker 3: it's like with the world open.
24:01
Speaker 1: Like for real, Like I mean obviously he went on
24:03
Speaker 1: his tour right.
24:04
Speaker 3: Before the pandemic started, but like festival season was out
24:07
Speaker 3: for him, you know what I'm saying, the whole project,
24:10
Speaker 3: and you know he is for he's a literal anti
24:13
Speaker 3: social guy.
24:13
Speaker 1: Like he's an introvert. Like people think it's like a
24:15
Speaker 1: gimmick or something. It's not.
24:16
Speaker 2: No, we like one and the same. Like we talked
24:18
Speaker 2: he'll be telling me stuff. I'm like, bro, I do
24:20
Speaker 2: the exact same thing.
24:21
Speaker 1: He's an alien, Like he's so good.
24:22
Speaker 4: Yeah he's fired.
24:23
Speaker 1: So so you're handling a lot of his new projects.
24:26
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'm helping him pick out all the songs
24:29
Speaker 2: and like do the track listing. So that's somebody I'm
24:31
Speaker 2: that like a good friend of mine, you know what
24:33
Speaker 2: I mean, We've been locked in for some years just
24:35
Speaker 2: on some some brother shit, just having conversations, not even
24:38
Speaker 2: about music.
24:40
Speaker 3: So with this is like I really want him to win. Yeah,
24:42
Speaker 3: me too, man. He's a great kid. Yeah, so that'd
24:45
Speaker 3: be hard for you. Man. I always say there's a
24:50
Speaker 3: few ways to go about the pub game, right, because
24:54
Speaker 3: it is a very interesting side of the game if
24:58
Speaker 3: you're an up and coming produce, Sir. Sometimes taking a
25:01
Speaker 3: pub deal to like too early could fuck you up,
25:03
Speaker 3: but sometimes taking it too soon can also help you
25:06
Speaker 3: out because they put you in a bunch.
25:07
Speaker 1: Of sessions and shit that might not have happened for you.
25:10
Speaker 3: Like, what would be the advice you would give in
25:13
Speaker 3: terms of how to navigate the pub world as a
25:16
Speaker 3: producer or a songwriter.
25:18
Speaker 2: I mean, I still got notes about the difference between
25:23
Speaker 2: co pub publishing and admin inside my phone to this day. Yeah,
25:27
Speaker 2: from just reading articles and teaching myself on what's the
25:30
Speaker 2: difference and being able to make a calculated decision. I
25:34
Speaker 2: didn't take a co pull up deal until like two
25:37
Speaker 2: years of success.
25:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, because for people who don't know, like an admin
25:40
Speaker 3: deal is very bare minimum. They're handling kind of they're administrating, Yeah,
25:45
Speaker 3: they're they're they're handling kind of the grunt work of
25:48
Speaker 3: your pub. A co pup deal they're fully partners on
25:52
Speaker 3: your publisher for either for perpetuity, which you shouldn't sign
25:56
Speaker 3: never or like a tenured period or whatever the period is.
26:00
Speaker 4: Years is too long, but whatever it is.
26:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, so there are differences for that. But
26:04
Speaker 3: like for you, like what what what made it make.
26:07
Speaker 1: Sense for you to do a co pub situation?
26:09
Speaker 4: Eventually the money, you know what I mean.
26:12
Speaker 3: And where I was at in my life and in
26:13
Speaker 3: my career, I had already.
26:15
Speaker 2: Did admin deal and was making money and it was
26:19
Speaker 2: cool and I was able to live, but it was
26:22
Speaker 2: my situation, you know what I mean, And when the
26:24
Speaker 2: opportunity came, it's like, all right, cool, we're gonna take this,
26:27
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And from that, I was
26:28
Speaker 2: able to pay my grandmother's house off, take care of
26:31
Speaker 2: my mom, take care of myself. You know, all of
26:34
Speaker 2: these different things that I that I always dreamt to do.
26:37
Speaker 2: The opportunity came and I did it. So I say
26:40
Speaker 2: for anybody, like the young guys, the older guys or
26:43
Speaker 2: whatever it is, it's like, you gotta really understand what
26:46
Speaker 2: these things are first and then make a calculated decision because.
26:50
Speaker 1: There's not a one shoe fits all situation.
26:53
Speaker 3: Everything could be different for everybody, Like different situations might
26:56
Speaker 3: work for you wherever you're at life or yeah, vice
26:59
Speaker 3: versas something.
27:00
Speaker 2: So I always say, like just educate yourself, Like the
27:03
Speaker 2: more you know about it, the easier to be able
27:05
Speaker 2: to make a decision when somebody does come, because they
27:07
Speaker 2: always come.
27:09
Speaker 4: You get a big song.
27:09
Speaker 2: You're getting called from everybody, you know what I mean,
27:12
Speaker 2: And it's it's whatever it's gonna be, whoever you're comfortable with.
27:16
Speaker 4: But you gotta know what you're doing.
27:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna happen if you catch one, it's everybody's
27:20
Speaker 3: gonna happen.
27:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you gotta you gotta know what you're doing.
27:23
Speaker 3: So what about for you, Like because IO notice some producers,
27:30
Speaker 3: once they get a lot more successful, your time, your
27:33
Speaker 3: bandwidth becomes like less available for making beats. How much
27:38
Speaker 3: of your time do you allocate to still actually like
27:42
Speaker 3: cooking up on the laptop or in the studio, Like.
27:45
Speaker 2: Bro, it's early as hell, I just left the studio. Yeah,
27:48
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying at like six this morning. Wow,
27:51
Speaker 2: it's like a job.
27:52
Speaker 4: You know.
27:52
Speaker 2: I don't treat it like a job because I'm living
27:54
Speaker 2: my dream. But I still you know, I'm still a hustler.
27:58
Speaker 2: I'm still out here and going to the studios and
28:01
Speaker 2: going from place to place and you know, taking over
28:04
Speaker 2: the room and letting people know that I'm here and
28:06
Speaker 2: I'm available all.
28:07
Speaker 3: This different stuff. So I would say all my time,
28:12
Speaker 3: because some people feel like they get on they start
28:13
Speaker 3: popping and then they got little mini producers under them.
28:16
Speaker 2: Man, that was like but their tags on it, and
28:19
Speaker 2: it's like read the credits.
28:20
Speaker 1: You know, there's thirteen motherfuckers on this.
28:23
Speaker 4: You know, Oh my god, that's the worst, Bro.
28:26
Speaker 3: I mean, And some producers that's what they do and
28:29
Speaker 3: they don't deny that that's what they do.
28:31
Speaker 2: And I get it, you know, as I get more
28:34
Speaker 2: into this game, and understand what it's about.
28:36
Speaker 4: You know, I get it.
28:37
Speaker 2: So it's not no shade on nobody, But for me,
28:40
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, I look up to like the
28:42
Speaker 2: Quincy Joneses of the world, and you know, the Doctor
28:47
Speaker 2: Dre's the people that were if you was gonna do that,
28:50
Speaker 2: it was gonna sound incredible.
28:52
Speaker 1: And it was gonna sound like them, and it was
28:54
Speaker 1: gonna be.
28:54
Speaker 2: Their sound, right, you know what I mean. So you
28:57
Speaker 2: can't do that, and then you don't make a sound
29:00
Speaker 2: like Turbo has a sound. Turbo is a super producer.
29:02
Speaker 2: Turbo is like you know, you can it's like a
29:05
Speaker 2: for real beat and his thumb thumb. Everybody knows his
29:08
Speaker 2: sound without it even happen to be a tag on it.
29:11
Speaker 2: So if you're not doing that, then you're just cheating.
29:14
Speaker 3: I guess who's on your Mount Rushmore of producers all
29:17
Speaker 3: time hip hop, only hip hop, strictly hip hop.
29:19
Speaker 1: So take Quincy, you gotta take yourself off as well.
29:23
Speaker 1: You can't be there.
29:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't even put myself on the Mount Rushmore. Yeah,
29:27
Speaker 2: four of them, four people, Timblin for sure, for sure,
29:40
Speaker 2: Timbling for sure. I would probably have to say it's
29:50
Speaker 2: not even probably Atoven.
29:53
Speaker 1: For sure.
29:54
Speaker 4: I love Atoven.
29:55
Speaker 2: That's huge fan of Atoven, Justice Lee, I love Justice
30:01
Speaker 2: Leg You're gonna have to put them all on one head.
30:05
Speaker 4: And then you said four more.
30:14
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, damn you killing me? Only hip hop? Only
30:19
Speaker 3: hip hop doctor dre doctor Justice League so hard.
30:25
Speaker 4: Justice League is crazy, like all the raw shit.
30:28
Speaker 2: I always wanted to always compare like my Circle and
30:32
Speaker 2: the playmakers to like a mixture of Justice League because
30:36
Speaker 2: it's real music and it's real compositions, but like the
30:43
Speaker 2: trap sound.
30:44
Speaker 4: Of like eight Away my fear, that's fire.
30:47
Speaker 2: I always wanted to like, yeah, you know what I
30:50
Speaker 2: mean and make it into like.
30:51
Speaker 3: A thing because Justice League had like cinematic Yeah, like
30:54

Speaker 3: We got eight Away made away right right? And be cushking.
32:51

Speaker 3: got such an iconic tag.
32:55
Speaker 1: Like, man, you just can't put that shit on anything.
32:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't just But I mean, like like I said,
33:00
Speaker 2: it's not always about the tag because you also know
33:02
Speaker 2: when you when you hear Bachelor, it's like his first
33:05
Speaker 2: five seconds.
33:06
Speaker 3: As soon as it comes on, you're like, what is this?
33:08
Speaker 3: Who is this?
33:09
Speaker 2: So I always try to get that wow factor. It's
33:11
Speaker 2: not that then it's not a turbo beat.
33:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:15
Speaker 3: What was it like being in the studio with Savage
33:18
Speaker 3: and Metro Boom and working like just recording that project. Bro,
33:23
Speaker 3: Metro is a dog. Bro, he been a dog, you
33:26
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Since and you're just like forever
33:29
Speaker 3: running pro tools the whole time.
33:30
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, that shits so far.
33:32
Speaker 2: I'm telling him, like I got beats, you know what
33:34
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Like, but you know they ain't really he
33:37
Speaker 2: was out. He wasn't really listening at that time. But
33:40
Speaker 2: just to see on work and see how it went
33:42
Speaker 2: like it was dope. And then see the success that
33:44
Speaker 2: came from it, that was super dope. Just to watch
33:46
Speaker 2: the whole process. But yeah, I think it's like a
33:49
Speaker 2: Vice show that came out, like Welcome to Atlanta or
33:52
Speaker 2: Atlanta Music or something.
33:53
Speaker 1: I remember that I watched that.
33:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they went and saw the Migos tutoring
33:58
Speaker 3: that time when they was when it was doing the
34:00
Speaker 3: Savage sessions.
34:01
Speaker 4: I was in all of those, just sitting in the back.
34:03
Speaker 2: So it's for me at that time, it was like
34:06
Speaker 2: being able to see it at like one of the
34:08
Speaker 2: highest levels on some modern shit, not on some like
34:11
Speaker 2: you know, old school, old school shit, you know what
34:13
Speaker 2: I mean. So it was it was definitely dope. It
34:17
Speaker 2: definitely helped me change the way I thought about things,
34:21
Speaker 2: and like how much time and energy I was gonna
34:23
Speaker 2: put into it?
34:24
Speaker 4: And you know, I just took that and ran with it.
34:27
Speaker 3: How inspiring is it for you to be someone who's
34:30
Speaker 3: working on your debut album as a producer and then
34:33
Speaker 3: you see metro boom and put out heroes and villains
34:35
Speaker 3: and it's like, to me, the best version of that
34:39
Speaker 3: that's ever been done ever.
34:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I.
34:41
Speaker 3: Don't think any compilation album a shout out to Calend.
34:44
Speaker 1: I love Calend, shout to everybody.
34:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody who's ever done that has ever done it
34:48
Speaker 3: even close to that, to that level. Yeah, it's cohesive.
34:54
Speaker 3: It's just it's like a perfect album.
34:56
Speaker 4: Yeah.
34:57
Speaker 2: Like, and and to be able to watch it first
35:00
Speaker 2: hand and see how much time he put into it.
35:04
Speaker 3: And you feel that when you hear it, you're like, oh,
35:06
Speaker 3: this wasn't just like let me just get the hottest motherfuckers,
35:08
Speaker 3: throw them all together, nah and put out a project. No,
35:11
Speaker 3: this felt like blood sweating tears right right right right.
35:15
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's I can speak for every producer
35:19
Speaker 3: out there, it's like super inspirational It's one of the
35:22
Speaker 3: reasons why I'm not getting frustrated with my album.
35:24
Speaker 4: And continuing to do it. But trust the process. Yeah.
35:27
Speaker 2: I watched him like do this for two or three years,
35:30
Speaker 2: and then when it came out, it was like, oh wow,
35:32
Speaker 2: this is what you was doing all this time.
35:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
35:35
Speaker 3: No, it's amazing bodywork. Hopefully get you said springtime drop

35:49
Speaker 2: many projects right now. I'm not in a super rush.
