• 1:38
  Speaker 2: they come to you? I'm okay, boss, Can we take it?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Can we take it back? Let's do it now? Originally,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: where is Sweety from the Bay? The Bay? One time
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: for the Bay? And how was it for Sweety growing up? Like?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Who were you as a kid?
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's a good question.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I feel like my whole life, I've always like a
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: common theme is like duality. I grew up biracial, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: went to two different colleges, I grew up in two
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: different households, So.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: I've always just had to find like a balance.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: But growing up in the Bay Area, like being like
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: black and Asian or just mixed it it's really common.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: But I think that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I was I was the first grandchild to be mixed,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and I was the first on both sides.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: On both sides. Now, who's black dad or my dad? Okay?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And I think that there needs to be more conversation
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: between like the clash of cultures, because what's always appropriate
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: that this household may not fly in this household.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: So as a child, I struggled with that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: But then I did learn that you have to respect,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you know, both groups based on their morals and their values. However,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: sometimes you have to kind of like code twitch sometimes.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: When you say it was like a little challenging, was
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: it more so on your mom's side that was challenging
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: or your father.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I would just say both sides. I feel like both
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: households had different rules. But I'm also talking about like
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: my grandparents' house because my grandparents were always babysitting me,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and my parents was like out working a lot. But yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: like so my Filipino side hardcore traditional. They were immigrants,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: so it's like that the values are very traditional, really strict.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: And then my dad's side is really different, so more
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: relax more relaxed. But also my grandparents were pastors, so
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: then so.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Then they're strict in their own way.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But then at my dad's house, my dad in the streets,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: so it's like there's no there's no rules at his household.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: And then my mom she's just a tiger mom because
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: she's Asian and so I was like trying to balance
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: like four different households and a lot what I could
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: do and what I can't do in these environments.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: What's a tiger mom?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: A tiger mom is often described as a mom who's
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: like who wants the best for their child, so she
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: pushes them, like your pressure to get straight a's or
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: b is not is not acceptable, Just always pushing their
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: child to like do their best, especially like in academics.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Did you get straight a's.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: I'm my dad. Did you have any siblings?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So my dad had.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Three kids eleven years later with another woman. Okay, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: just for your parents, you're the only child. I'm the
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: only child. Was on them?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Oh wow?
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Did you have like cousins to play with? Was it lone? Agog?
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I had a cousin.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I love them so Like at my grandma's house, my
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: dad's mom's house, especially in the summertime, it'd be like
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: fifteen of us in there, you know, you know, calling
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: for showers, calling for the couch, trying to like hide
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the cover so we had a cover at night, you know.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Was like growing up in a household full of kids,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like survival. Little fittest Okay, what's.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: The different sides of town too? Like did you go
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on one side of town here and then the other
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: side of town?
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: You know what's so interesting?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: So both of my grandmothers like lived in Union City,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: but on different sides of the bridge. Union City is
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: a city in the so they were like about what
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: ten minutes away from each other.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: So it's like a car right around the bed.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't like over here I'm good and over
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: here like I'm not good.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I just feel like I got my dad's At my
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: dad's mom's house, there was never no food because of
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: all the kids. But they're not my Filipino side. They
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: always they always got food over there. So when I
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: would get hungry, I would go to my grandpa's.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Did they always have like rice ready?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Because I have a type.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: I had a best friend who was tied in black
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: and her her grandmother always had like a pot of
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: rice at least the rice is always ready to go.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Now, look, don't get mad at me, friend, but I'm
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: might to ask you a question that whose food was better?
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I can't decide to be honest.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Because both people throwing down on these sides. As you're
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Both of my grandma's can throw down, like throw down
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: down to choose though, Well, my favorite food is Filipino food,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: but I can't say that that that's someone's cooking it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: better than the others. No, no, no, no, now they both
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: they're both equally good. I'm just clarified.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: With you having so like you said, the two sides
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: you were going from back and forth, is that we're
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: brought in your palate because you have a wide palate.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Now, so let me call you something.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Well, she has a white palette, a palette, so I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: feel like my palate comes from I was like the
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: taste tester. Oh, but when my grandparents were cooking, so
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: you know, Filipino food is it's foreign food. And then
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: my grandma and on the other side, they get down
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in the kitchen too, and they make their own concoctions.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Actually, it's it's really funny.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: My pap Paul will like save food from like a
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: couple of months ago, reheat it up. That no, that's crazy,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: but freeze it, reheat it up, and then throw some
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: extra stuff in it to make it like good. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: then he'd be like, oh, baby, you want some of this,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: And my Grandma'll be like, baby, don't you eat that's
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: like from six months ago. That's how that's how he
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: would He still does it, but that's how he would save.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: The left's perfectly fine, isn't he Yes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: And then he would reheat it, make a couple of concoctions.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So like I tasted it, I don't even eat food
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: from two days later.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: When you put it in the freezer for a long time,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: you put like you make a pop pot of greens.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: You can freeze those and then reheat them later.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: My mom made me my Mom's from Barbados Thanksgiving. She
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: made some rice and beans and she put it in
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the in the freezer and it stayed and she heated
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that ship up.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: My bad, damn Mama, make sure you let me know
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: which one has been in the freezer anyway, it's easy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Your name so weedy. It's not sweetie, No, it's so
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: wety or yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: So it was like a family nickname.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And then it stuck because I have put it on
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: my MySpace, and my MySpace was like really popping, like helipopping,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: like I had all the cold, all the.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Layout, my homegirls.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: But it had become so big that like people would
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: like see me walk in from like the bus stop,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: they see me at like a gas station, they see
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: me like walking to school, and they'd be they pull
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: over and be.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Like, are you Sweety?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: So it's just like my page was so big that
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: people thought that that was my name.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So why why that though not sweety?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Because when I was typing it in on MySpace, I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: was like, sweety, look too sweet. You gotta put a
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: little flavor in it, Okay, So I put the A
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: between the W, the S and the W period.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: And then to solidify.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: It, my my other mom, the woman that my dad
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: is currently with, she got me my first nameplate that
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: says sweety for my first day of my sophomore year
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: in school. So it just like solidified everything. Yes, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: like it just really like.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Just made everything permanent after that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: So you were in college, she was about to get that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Good shit.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you were in college. What were you studying?
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: So I went in to do psychology?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, that goes with me, why no?
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: But listen, on the first day of school we got that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Syllabus, was like, you know what I've got to go.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Let me tell you.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I literally got up like ten minutes of class.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: And I said, I'm going to like the administration office.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: I said, oh, hell no.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: So then I was talking to my administrative counselor and
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: she basically just told me to take a whole bunch
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: of electives. And within those electives, one of the classes
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that I really enjoyed was my communication course. So that's
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: what made me want to study communication because of the
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: elective that I chose.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: And what college was this?
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: So this was at San Diego State and then I
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: transferred to the University of Southern California.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: There's no way that you wasn't going to school with
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: your family. Like you said, your was a Tiger mom
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and she believes in that schooling, so so you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Had to go to college.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I think it was a combination between her pressuring me
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: and then me just wanted to get out of Sacramento.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Now, how was your college experience?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: San Diego State was really fun And I didn't really
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: understand the consequence of being a transfer until I was
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a transfer.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Could you lose credits or not only that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: But you just lose like the incoming freshman connection that
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: you created with the peers that you come in with.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And at USC it took me like a minute to
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: like create you know, friendships on campus. But at San
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Diego State, like I was dancing for the school, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: was like the face of the students store. So I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: was really like integrated into the school's culture, and I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: really missed that when I transferred over to you.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Why did you transfer?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Why did you want to to be in an a
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: market city?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You wanted to be in La.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be in La. I thought that you
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and I was going to get discovered right away, you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Know, because you're doing music also, correct.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm posting my wraps on my Instagram.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: How many followers did you have at the time.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: I've always had a lot of followers.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I've always been heavy into like social media and the aesthetics,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: so I've always just had like a before the music,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: it was like a brand following, like girls just fucked
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: with like the vibe.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: But then you know, when you drop can't style, won't stide?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah go?
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: You know that's that famous. That's a classic freestyle. You
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: know instantly, did your world change?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: No, it did, but it changed after the music video.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I was so taken aback with how much coverage I
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: got because I dropped this without a publicist, without backing,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: without a label, without management.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: It was just fresh out the gate.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: So I think that at the beginning of my career
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I was kind of just thrown into the industry quickly.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: I'm very pressed, you know, with what you've done and
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: what you were able to do and create yourself. Even today.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: I know we're going to get to more of your accolades,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: but I just want to say, I'm very proud of
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: what you are doing. You know what I'm saying, especially
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: as a young black girl out here, You're very intelligent,
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: very smart, and I think that needs to be you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: said and shined on because a lot of people look
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: at you know, certain people nowadays and they don't really
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: are they like you said, they see the aesthetic, but
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: you know, you really are putting in the work mentally
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: to get to where you're going.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I had an argument about you the other day
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and I was saying, Sweetep really put up some points
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: on the scoreboard, like you had some number ones and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: they were really really big. We're gonna get into that. Yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So you put out the song, you put out the video.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: What happens next?
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: I had several meetings at different labels.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Did they just have they get flew out friends?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Surprisingly, all my meetings were in La.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, you did make the right decision. I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: guess moving you had to go far.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but this was like two years after I graduated
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: from college. Yeah, I struggled for like two years in LA.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: But how was the struggle? We talked about the struggle too,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: because a lot of it was always real. Man.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I worked like a lot of odd jobs.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Where does Sweetie work that people would be like what?
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I was a receptionist.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I was a waitress at a strip club. I was
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: an ambassador for like Craigslist events like hey, come be,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: come help us with this pop up shop, and you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: like the people who help solicit at public in public areas.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: But interestingly that helped me with like my people skills,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: because when you're constantly being thrown into like different environments
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: with new people, you have to like accommodate really fast.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: You have to adapt. So it helped me.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: But I remember like every time I would like pay
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: my rent, my account would go back down to like
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: twenty or like forty dollars, and I was.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Like, bitch, it's real, it's real.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Not because like my aesthetic it was always just like
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I've always wanted to be a rich bitch, Like ever
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: since I was a kid, that's what I aspired to be.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I like the diamonds the first I love the boss
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: bitches out there out to them, and I was like,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: this is not what we planned. Friend, But I looked
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: myself in the mirror. That's why I see girl, I say,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: look it in the mirror. I think, I feel I'm
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: about to be Like I was broke as fuck when
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I wrote that, and I was like, we have to give.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Yourself a deadline.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And I always tell people who I give advice to
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: give yourself a deadline because if you do that, you're
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: able to keep track of like what you're doing. So
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I gave myself a year to make it in LA
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: and if I didn't make it, I was going to
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: go home and at least be comfortable and stack my
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: money up and move back to LA.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: All my ninth month, I got discovered.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: That that does work, though, when you give yourself a deadline,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I know, I know you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Know that personally, and I'm glad you're sharing these things
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: with people because I feel like how it looked on
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the outside, it looked like it just happened really fast.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: But the things that you're saying would make someone say, wow,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't know she had to do that. I didn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: know she had to work these jobs. I didn't know
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: how to do. That kind of makes it a little
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: bit more human.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: So when did you have to get When did the
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: check come? Where you can say, well, you can tike
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: tail a little bit, When did that big check come?
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Is that when you signed? Did you get in advance
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: or you.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Always was on Warner correct, you decided to.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Go, it was on Warner.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: But before that I was doing I was an influencer
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: for like weave companies and clothing companies. So because Icy
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Girl was like new and hot, it had put the
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: attention like that helped me get my first like low key,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: low hanging fruit like Brandill's. Like that was the first
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: time I had a couple thousand in my bank account.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I just had to like post my picture they would
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and they would pay me.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, So that twenty dollars turned into a couple of
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars getting some shows or anything like that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Because the song was doing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Really the show was an Istanbul Turkey.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, how how they pay you? You?
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Turkey?
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Stanbul, yurkey, Yes, all the way over there, all the
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: way over.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: There, and yes, and I sat in the middle seat.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: The whole thought is like, I'm not doing this. Listen,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I gotta know how much they paid you. Okay, I
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: would have said.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I said how much are we going?
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: One thing about now, listen, One thing about a cancer
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: is we get real uncomfortable when we ain't got no money. Right,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: So it's like when it's time to get but when
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: it's time to get that check, we finna get it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: It's just like I was in the middle seat.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: On the side of the plane. I'm gonna be on
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a plane like this. It was at the time that
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: you maybe got a little bit of an excel. You
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: got that in l As. Did that motivate you to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: keep going?
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Absolutely?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: But then after that I had got my contract okay,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: but my contract wasn't like one of those flashy contracts.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: It was it was enough for me, but it wasn't
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: like you know how some.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: People like break the bank and get me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: What made you go with Warner out of all the labels, To.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Be honest, I don't remember why. I can just remember
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: how I felt in those meetings. So I kind of
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: like this followed like my feelings energy. Okay, did you
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: have a manager at the time and an unofficial manager?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I did you like just sat right here and just
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: act like you know what you're doing? No, it was.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Somebody who was trying to like help me, like navigate, gotcha.

  Speaker 5: you know, through the broke times to on your rich
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: girl journey.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: I would say a prayer like I said.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: My grandparents were pastors, so I was in the church
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: like Sunday through Sunday, so that's always like my first
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: go to I would call my grandmother a lot.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: She should pray on the phone with Yeah, she.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Would pray for me.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: And then books like one of my favorite favorite books
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: is The Alchemist?
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Really do you read it every year? I read it interestingly.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I read it in every stage in my life, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: every time I read it, I pick up something different
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: me too.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, so, now, your personal life,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I know you know, sweetie is never alone? Do you
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: are you? Were you ever in a relationship at these times?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: And did it go away? Because hey man, I got
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to focus on this right now.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: And no, I was so disgusted with myself. I didn't
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: want to date.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you weren't dating anything.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: I was one of those like I'm one of those people.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: If I'm down bad, especially like financially, and I'm not
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: where I'm at where I want to be in my career,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want to talk to nobody.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Where does that come from?
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Did that?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Did Pops or anybody say, hey man?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I think that's just how I innately felt at the time,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to date, like what do I have
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: to offer?
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Like I wanted to get myself together.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That's interesting and that's big on you saying that, because
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: you know, some people would just date and just be
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: toxic or you a la.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Some people would just try to find somebody out there
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: that could, you know, help them.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: No, I think that's a cancer trait too, because come on,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: you just like you know, like I said, when you
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: when you don't have any money, or if you don't
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: feel like you know you who are who you want
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: to be, you just kind of retreat to your shell
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: a little bit and then you like, I'm going to
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: come out when I feel confident.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: So that leads me to my next question. So when
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: do you start feeling comfortable enough within yourself to be
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: open to that, not saying that you're going to do it,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: but to be open to that. When when did that
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: part happen in your life?
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: I felt like I was.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I was able to become comfortable with myself after after
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I got my deal and after I was able to
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: like pay off my student loans.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: I was able to.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: So you paid yours off. I just let my slide,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: so you didn't wait on Biden Man.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I was honestly, I was scared because I think how
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: my loans were set up, Like after a certain amount
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: of years, I would start to get what do you.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: The money taking your account?
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: No interest?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, create interest. After a certain amount of years, my
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: loan would have created interest. So I wanted to pay
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: minds off before it before I did that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: You in the USC, So I'm pretty sure that tuition
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: was so you know, it's.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Hella crazy and I think that this was so fed
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: up cuss.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: So when I had transferred to USC because of my grades,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I was covered fully because I forgot what I had
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: applied for, but my tuition was covered. However, each year
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: after that, tuition would raise, but my like expenses were
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: capped at this amount. So it's just like although my
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: tuition was covered the first year, I spent three more
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: years in college after that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Like, yeah, I had to.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I had to take out more money to cover like
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the remainder of the balance the loans.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm surprised you never got a scholarship or anything,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: because then you run track.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I played volleyball, volleyball, yeah, but I have got a
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: full ride scholarship to like the D two schools in
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the Midwest. You didn't want to go there, and I
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: wanted to be in the city. But in hindsight, I
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: do wish I would have at least tried it because
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I missed sports so much. Oh yeah, yeah, sports really
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: like instilled like my like how I work, okay, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: how I work with people.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: You ever want to consider doing, you know, starting a
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: league or anything like that, And later on.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I would consider like sponsoring volleyball girls. Yeah, maybe not
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: creating a league, but just like endorsing them. Because my
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: senior year of college, we couldn't afford the sports package
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: for our senior year. And you know, my coach loved
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: me dearly, but he was like, if you can't pay this,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you can't play. So I stood in front of a
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: bank for eight hours and raised the money and then
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: paid off and paid off my my senior year fee.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Whatever that was.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: How did you what was you doing in front of
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: the bank.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: I had on my volleyball T shirt.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I was in front the Chase Bank and it was
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: hella hot outside, but I came out there at eight
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: am and I basically just asked for money from quarters
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: to fifty dollars bills.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Wow, Like people do.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't believe them now.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I think I think back in the day that worked,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: But I think now I think they're scamming out.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Could you do be looking like they about six five
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and forty years old?
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Don't have on no uniform either.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Boys, bro.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: I seen somebody come up to me the other day
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: talking about, Yeah, you want to support my football boy?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You forty two? You was not in you was not
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: doing no football league. No.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: But one thing that I learned that day was I
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: still in front of a bank and then I went
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: over to the grocery store to see if it would like,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: if it would change people like who are grocery shopping
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: are less likely to donate than people going to the bank,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: because what are you what are you doing at a bank?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: You're going to get moneyey, So it was like a
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: quick lesson learned. But I was like, I never doing
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: this again. But if you are out like trying to
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: sell something, I recommend standing in front of a bank
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: than any other like.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Pay yourself or did you have your parents with you?
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: I was by myself. I was like, I'm gonna go
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: get this money.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: He was stugging it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I love it. I respect it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I respect your hustle. I'm about to say I respect
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the hustle too. So graduating college, I know that was
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a big deal for you. Was it the big deal?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Did everybody come down for it? Did you walk across
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the stage? Okay?
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: Did you also feel that pressure to as a kid
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: like I need to do this for my parents to finish?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Be pressurized to finish?
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I think, not necessarily to finish, but to get good grades,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: because I'm just like, if I'm.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Not getting grades in college, what was your GPA?
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Three point six?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's great in college time. She's just like you
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: was taking out.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Loans and I was taking out loans.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, y'all got to.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Now, because for me, the scholarships would be like fifteen hundred,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: fifteen hundred. I don't want to be riding a whole
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: bunch of essays for fifteen hundred dollars.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of essays you got to write.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I do think to the volleyball lane would be a
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: popping lane for you, because I don't really see any
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: celebrities talking about volleyball bringing it like almost like the
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: w NBA, like everyone's talking about it now. If I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: see volleyball on TV, I'll stop and watch it because
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I actually think it's actually very complex sport and it's
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a very team related sport. You have to need you
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: need each other out there wanting to get that ball
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: over to us. You got to communicate coach the coordination
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and hitting the ball and making sure you know he
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: talking about it's a setup. You get the person. You
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: got to have someone that's like a set up person.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: My daughter played Oh okay, But I say I will
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: watch it though, But like watching it on TV, it's
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the ultimate team sport if you're watching volleyball.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: But speaking about that team sport and that being your background,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: did you go into to that business wise when you
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: were at Warner and how everybody plays a team in
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: communication with you know, did you have a plan on
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: how you wanted things done and then they backed you
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: or how did that work.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I'm a very visual person, so when it comes to
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: like presenting, I like to have my mood boards.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: I like to write everything out and then I present it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: But when it comes to just having a background in sports,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I prefer to work with people who played sports because
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: they tend to have a higher like emotional intelligence.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: They have.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: They just have better a better.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Skill set when it comes to communication, and they're less
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: ego driven. They understand that like word team and we're
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: all working for like the greater good and the bigger picture.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Did you was anybody on the label from sports or
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: did you pick Hey? I want to work with this,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: A and R. I want to do X, Y and Z.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily with the label, but with like my internal team, okay,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: like management or like the creatives that I hire around me.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: I'm always curious to see if you play the.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Sport hard it is to get the labels behind you,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: because I seen when you release your new song, you
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: told the label.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Kicking that butch. I actually even backed that up, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: later on in the comments I said they should definitely
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: open the butt. Roary was definitely talking about I don't notice,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: but I worked at Warner for eight months last year.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Wait did that meet you one time? Yeah? Okay, so
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: eight months I was there last year, and of course
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: you were one of the main party, the priority so birthday,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: all those records, like, yeah, so I had a dope
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: moment just seeing your music and hearing your music and
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So I just say that to say
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: this ninety record, and I know we will probably take
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: a break and come back with it. This is a
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: very good record for you. Thank you.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's do that right now. Take a break. We'll
• 26:45

• 27:56
  Speaker 3: almost how do I say this? It's like cool, to
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: like true me. So for every release date, like someone
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: will come up with with like a false narrative or
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: a way to like troll me on my release date.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: So I used to like get really nervous for like
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: my release dates, but eventually, like you become like desensitized
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: to internet culture. However, for this release, I was really
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: shocked by all the positivity and I was really grateful
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: for it because I've never experienced that much love on
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: like a release date.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody was like this is the one I do.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Want to rewind just quickly and to stay on topic

• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I had to change the chorus because I had said
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: it was. It was arranged a different way. But I
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: remember I felt like somebody had played me. So I
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: was like, like I was saying what my type was
• 29:17

  Speaker 5: to be nominated for a Grammy though? Facts, because now
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: you on another level.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: It was surreal. Yeah, it was surreal.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: When you first got the dudes or was it feeling.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Like what, I don't know, you don't want to know.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: What's interesting. No one celebrated it. Nobody said what you
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: mean by la you mean, I just no one celebrated it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't celebrate it. I was working a lot, so
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: I never really liked tooking that moment. Oh yeah, so
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: it's like I was celebrating it now, thank you. I
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: was grateful for it, but I was working so much
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: and I don't know, like, no one really made it
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: a big deal.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: So I didn't make it a big deal. That's unfortunate.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see an accomplishment.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Thank you?
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: And do you take time sometimes when you make these
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: these big strides in your career, do you take time
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: to celebrate or do you just keep going?
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Now I'm extra as fuck.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I really try to practice gratitude. That's one of the
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: first things I practiced in the morning, because it's just
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: like I don't want to go by life so much
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: to where everything becomes blurred and I don't appreciate the
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: little things, the medium things, the big things, or just anything.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: So I try to like show my gratitude as much.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: As I can.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: No, I like the fact that that you take time
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: out to appreciate the hard work, because I do feel
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: like a lot of times, just us as people in general,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: like you know, everybody's working so much, and a lot
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: of times you don't get the chance to, you know,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: celebrate the winds. And because a lot of people, you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: they cry about the losses, but we don't celebrate.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: The winds right right, And even going to that, like
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I try to remember the girl who was running rooms
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: off of Craigslist, like writing down my goals, manifesting, praying,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: and I'm just like.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: She would be so happy right now. So you need
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: to celebrate, do you.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say, do you go back to church
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: any and you know, right now in your adult life?
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: And when I go see my grandparents, yes, And then
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: for the holidays, when I'm in La, I'll go with
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: like my cousins and my uncle to like a local church.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: You know, when you get into the spirit, do you
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: have those reflections of I came a long way.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Robbie shouting, I'll be speaking at times?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what should be putting the offering table a lot?
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Tie?
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Do you tie? Yeah?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's why you're so blessed now?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: What is co sign from like a big female rapper?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Happened that you was like, oh snap.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: My favorite co sign I've ever gotten with some share.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: We made it the Calvin client campaign, right, the mac
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: cambinack campaign.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I like shared. When you meet her, you can tell
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: she has a lot of discernment, Like she's really like
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: she she a young, She a young girl. She she
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: ain't aged one bit when we see now that she's
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: one day. Right, yes, this isn't so Share gave you
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: a big co sign that was dope. Yeah, And she's
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: always just every time I hit her, she hits me back.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Wow, she's hella cool.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I had dinner at her house after we had did
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: that campaign, and she's just like full of stories, full
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: of love, full of confidence, full of life.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: How do you handle like, like you said, it's easy
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: to troll, sweetie, how do you handle criticism?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Girl so highly criticized?
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: So literally when I was going through like my spiritual awakening,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: when like I had shaved all my hair off, I
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: was just just reading a lot, and I remember there
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: was a there was a philosophy in this in this
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: think piece about the matrix that we're in, and basically
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: like everybody plays a role. So if you look at
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: like a hater or a criticizer as just like the
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: bad player and you're the protagonist, it helps you like
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: view your life a lot differently, because in every movie
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: there's a bad guy, like we're not.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: None of us is excluded from that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: So every time somebody comes at me, I'm just like, Okay,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: you the You're like the opposition in my story. You're
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: the NPC, maybe like Trinity. Okay, but I feel like
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: we're all neo in our own stories. And I feel
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: like that movie is is just so symbolic for just
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: us awakening in the world.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: That we're in the Matrix movie.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: And when you're able to like distinguish the haters as
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: like the men in black with the glasses on, it
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: just helps you.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: It's like a relief, like that's your job to do that.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: I understand. I'm gonna let you do your job while
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I do mine.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like celebrities, why do y'all let the comments
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: and the people on the internet make y'all so mad?
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: Do you read the comments? You can't make me, man,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna try you right back.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, you read them?
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: Do you read the comments?
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: So you know I do read them because I also
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: respond to positivity. I can't help that there might be
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: like some hate in between the positivity, but I'm so
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: desensitized because of the amount of hate I receive. So
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just one of those moments where your
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: trauma makes you stronger.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: But you do know that fans are doing that to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: get a response.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Because absolutely, because when I'm mentally sparring with them, when
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: they tooche and they be like okay, bitch, like you're funny,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: or like we get it, they become a fan.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Or they've been looking to get a rid, or they
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: may have been a fan that's been trying to get
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: your attention. So I love you, I love your music,
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I love what you're doing. And you might never see that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: But as soon as they say, oh I don't like
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: you no more, you am like, well, I don't like
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: you neither.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: They're like, yes you responded, no, no, no, it's a
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: it's a I don't respond to audi hate. It's like
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: it's really like it's it has to have a little
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: humor to it. If you just outrightly just disrespectful, I'm
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: just gonna ignore you.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: And do you block them? Or I don't know, you
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: just let move. You get a mute, You get a
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: mute everybody.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: You got way too many followers to even the same thing,
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: not as muting, because even a block is a response,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: and I do want something.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I don't like when the haters be like, oh, someone's
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: so blocked me. Now you ain't gonna get that for me.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: So when you making music, dude, I know you said
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: you always every release, you always get a bunch of hate.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Does that kind of mess up like the creativity of
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: doing the music, because you like, I gotta put some
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: music that's gonna make these people in the comments or
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: the internet, you know, actually like it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm really I'm really a big fan of alchemy,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: and I feel like when you're able to like transmute
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: negativity as a positivity, it could work. Because I remember
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I got dragged for taping and they was like, oh, Sweetie,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: can't wrap. She sounds like a kindergartener. I went back
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: and I wrote pretty VIIs freestyle. So I took that
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: hate and I transmuted it into creativity. And then two
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: weeks later I dropped this amazing freestyle on my birthday
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: that's still one of my fan favorites. I think that
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: as long as we like use the hate for a
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: better good, we'll be all right.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: You also have people that are fans of you with
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: your style, your looks.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great thing for artists who has
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: two sets of fans. Are we gonna see like a
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: career in that field because I kind of see that
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: you kind of, to me, looks like you're solely music
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: first and only.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I think that once I solidified, like my music, released
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: my first album, then I'll go into my other outlets
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: of creativity.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: But right now, it's just this album.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, what's the title of the album?
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: You know, my movement was pretty much music, and that's
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: what I was calling it, But I don't After the
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: body of work is done, I'm gonna release it with
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: it and see if that's what I'm still gonna call.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: It this year. M You know, so you're gonna change
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the name possibly? What's some other names you got?
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't have the names yet.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: I like this. I like this hat. What is this called? Actually?
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: Shout out to one of my fans.

• 38:17
  Speaker 3: of them.
