4:44
Speaker 1: So she'll come on the road for a week and

4:49
Speaker 1: you know, I have a little bit of you know,
4:51
Speaker 1: she gives me some space because you know, it's a
4:53
Speaker 1: stressful jobs. I can't do nothing always about the fans
4:56
Speaker 1: and what people do. You know what I'm saying. You've
4:58
Speaker 1: seen how people come up in running kiss people in
5:01
Speaker 1: the face in the middle and like you can't really
5:02
Speaker 1: do nothing about that kind of stuff sometimes, so she
5:04
Speaker 1: never cut a bit. Why would he do that? I'm
5:09
Speaker 1: not you as this girl me, maybe I wouldn't didn't
5:13
Speaker 1: see it, ye, but you'll probably be facetim and when
5:19
Speaker 1: she's not there a little bit. I haven't really gotten it.
5:22
Speaker 1: I've never been in the FaceTime like that. It's hard
5:24
Speaker 1: for me to look at the screen and you gotta
5:27
Speaker 1: hold it at the right angle series and it's just
5:29
Speaker 1: and then I'm looking at myself the whole time, like
5:30
Speaker 1: what I look crazy? Right now, you're not even looking
5:33
Speaker 1: at the other person, looking at your boxes. This little
5:36
Speaker 1: on my box would be the one in the background. Now,
5:39
Speaker 1: you work with Chris Brown so much, right, right? Are
5:41
Speaker 1: you guys gonna do a whole album to you? Well,
5:43
Speaker 1: y'all look like y'all popped off the same gremlin. It's
5:45
Speaker 1: the same, you're the same person. Because I was really
5:48
Speaker 1: doing that because it's like, how many songs together? Um,
5:52
Speaker 1: And they got about like five records total that we've done,
5:55
Speaker 1: and I think three have come out, so it's two
5:58
Speaker 1: from the first album and then we just d one
6:00
Speaker 1: other day and all three of them are singles. Why not?
6:02
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not it's there. All three of them
6:05
Speaker 1: are singles, and it's not like you know, of course,
6:07

6:09
Speaker 1: Chris Bown record for the next one's about to instantly
6:11
Speaker 1: be eight. You know what I'm saying. The single, I
6:12
Speaker 1: knew it's gonna be a single, but I think it's
6:14
Speaker 1: really when that I came out the fans was it
6:16
Speaker 1: was track five on iTunes without a title, and it
6:19
Speaker 1: was number one on hip hop, and I was just like,
6:21
Speaker 1: y'all don't even really know what you're buying, Like it
6:23
Speaker 1: could be I could change the track and y'all could
6:25
Speaker 1: be buying something else later. But you know, from there,
6:27
Speaker 1: I think it's just easy work. I come into the
6:30
Speaker 1: studio with the records that I think he's gonna vibe
6:33
Speaker 1: when it's usually you know what I'm saying on the
6:34

6:36

Speaker 1: it from me working. Like one of the records was
7:39
Speaker 1: these are actually records that we did when I did
7:41
Speaker 1: the Body Language sessions. So I was in there with
7:43
Speaker 1: Stargate and a Cashmere Cat and we cut like six
7:46
Speaker 1: records that day and two of them ended up going

8:27
Speaker 1: or something like, I'm not gonna say this for the
8:29
Speaker 1: radio this year, next single, I tell you what it
8:31
Speaker 1: could work for instead of telling you. You know what
8:33
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like the record Pleasehi could snap though, he
8:35
Speaker 1: could wrap his asshole, right, I mean exhibits. I think
8:38
Speaker 1: I bought the first album, you know what I'm saying. Records.
8:40
Speaker 1: I don't put it past him to this, you know,
8:42
Speaker 1: Pip my Ride thing. Probably to everybody off it's like
8:44
Speaker 1: new fans that only know him from that, right, It's
8:48
Speaker 1: like a whole new generation that don't know none of
8:50
Speaker 1: them records. They're just like that's the guy from pim Ride, Like, yeah, Aport,
8:54

8:58
Speaker 1: my ride at? Like tea, it was clowning each other. Yeah,
9:01
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that the exhibit face though he probably not.
9:04
Speaker 1: He's not a little guy. He definitely. Uh, I'm saying,
9:07
Speaker 1: think about the old records. But we had some fun.
9:10
Speaker 1: We're smoking out. You still get tattoos. I try. I
9:14
Speaker 1: got one on my see it at the out of
9:16
Speaker 1: your head, right, But I think that's a press play.
9:19
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, had a cool old idea, but
9:22
Speaker 1: it's running out of room. I'm coming up with ideas
9:24
Speaker 1: and then I'm looking in the mirror for good forty
9:26
Speaker 1: five minutes like where can I put it? Only put
9:29
Speaker 1: some stuff in your legs and you know what's next?
9:31
Speaker 1: You gotta get done? What shiny? What is wrong already?
9:35
Speaker 1: Why don't you ask if you had it done? Sir?
9:36
Speaker 1: That's not a question to ask. You get your girls
9:38
Speaker 1: name right? No, that's about how that doesn't work. I
9:45
Speaker 1: just don't see because the skin then when the skin
9:47
Speaker 1: is that then in a certain area really seem like
9:49
Speaker 1: that hurts, wouldn't just and then when it's not all right,
9:53
Speaker 1: it probably looked weird like just scab me, I'm not trying,
9:57
Speaker 1: And then you got itchy all day, walk around scratching
10:03
Speaker 1: it all like vigorously. Which one hurt the most? Um
10:08
Speaker 1: hand tattoos, fingers like you know, like you said this
10:12
Speaker 1: where the skin is thinning. It's more like bone though,
10:14
Speaker 1: is where it hurts the most, more than like the
10:16
Speaker 1: skull and the face like nothing. Was that your first
10:18
Speaker 1: obsession tattoos? Like, oh yeah, I think it was like
10:21
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years old. I was just always drawn locy
10:25
Speaker 1: on myself with a pen and I honestly was drawn
10:27
Speaker 1: on myself and showing the tattoo artists like let me
10:30
Speaker 1: get this, and he would go right over there. I
10:32
Speaker 1: don't know if that was damaging back in the day,
10:36
Speaker 1: actual pen ink on me, but at the end of
10:38
Speaker 1: the day, you know what I'm saying. That's how I started.
10:40
Speaker 1: And then from there the tattoo show was around the corner,
10:42
Speaker 1: so it was literally I'm running over there working cleaning tools,
10:45
Speaker 1: staying up to two in the morning when it closed.
10:47
Speaker 1: And then like you want something, Yeah, practice on me,
10:49
Speaker 1: let's get it. And there's a lot of artists that
10:51
Speaker 1: you work with that everybody respects you in the industry.
10:53
Speaker 1: So how did you decide who to put on your album? Um?
10:56
Speaker 1: I usually try to you know, features, I do the
10:58
Speaker 1: songs first and then see who could sound good on this.
11:01
Speaker 1: Pay attention. You know, I'm a fan of music in general.
11:03
Speaker 1: Some I'm always pay attention to what's going on, who's
11:05
Speaker 1: hot just in the street and just on the radio,
11:07
Speaker 1: and it's like from there, I try to go after,
11:11
Speaker 1: you know, people that are my piers, people that run
11:13
Speaker 1: into I don't like chasing features if I don't know you,
11:15
Speaker 1: because that's when it starts getting a little personal and
11:18
Speaker 1: people don't hit you back, and you know what I'm saying,
11:20
Speaker 1: stuff gets mixed up or even when they don't really
11:23
Speaker 1: know your vibe when people don't hit him back. But
11:27
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people would hit you
11:29
Speaker 1: back and want to work with you. I can't imagine
11:30
Speaker 1: that you can't get you know, you've had proven success
11:34
Speaker 1: in back record and I think that way. I mean,
11:36
Speaker 1: I usually try to look at those benefits for my
11:40
Speaker 1: career when I'm going up features. But other people don't care.
11:42
Speaker 1: I guess you know, when you're in your zone and
11:43
Speaker 1: your moment, especially when you getting features from like probably
11:47
Speaker 1: bigger people, Like if you out here and then you
11:48
Speaker 1: got a Wayne feature, you probably feel like you need
11:51
Speaker 1: to get a feature from me. Where it's like people
11:53
Speaker 1: don't want to meet in the middle and understand how
11:55
Speaker 1: you could benefit from both sides. Did you download a
11:57
Speaker 1: Little Ways mixtape that he just put out. I didn't
11:59
Speaker 1: get a chance to you was tweaking about you the
12:01
Speaker 1: other day the Hot Boy record. Yeah, man, he was
12:03
Speaker 1: tweeting about the Hot Boy record, which was dope. That
12:05
Speaker 1: was my first acknowledgement, you know what I'm saying, time
12:07
Speaker 1: ever talking to Wheezy just getting any type of respect
12:09
Speaker 1: from that, you know, side of things. So it was
12:11
Speaker 1: dope to really see that and for it to be
12:13
Speaker 1: a record that's not you know, it's not like it's
12:15
Speaker 1: a record that's spending everywhere. So for him to hear it,
12:18
Speaker 1: whoever played it for him, appreciate it or whatever. He
12:20
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Who heard it? The DJ all
12:21
Speaker 1: that good stuff. Did you reach out to him after that? Like, yeah,
12:25
Speaker 1: I did, uh try to uh actually be a part
12:28
Speaker 1: of the mixtape. But he said, he's like, man, if
12:30
Speaker 1: we would have got that done like two days ago,
12:32
Speaker 1: could have got done. So I think, you know, we're
12:34
Speaker 1: gonna try to do something for just whatever's next situation.
12:37
Speaker 1: Were like, okay, I was working with all Kelly because
12:38
Speaker 1: I see All Kelly's on the album R Kelly. I
12:40
Speaker 1: wasn't actually able to get in a studio, but we've
12:42
Speaker 1: been trying to, like we've been communicating, trying to work
12:44
Speaker 1: for like the last for the last album, we had
12:46
Speaker 1: a record that just didn't repeat on a Little Girl,
12:49
Speaker 1: right um allegedly allegedly stop it, y'all, y'all want to
12:56
Speaker 1: throw Bill Coby under the bus when you saw a
12:58
Speaker 1: tape of our he was I'm not guilty, wasn't him, sir?
13:03
Speaker 1: But do you know he did on a Little Girl?
13:05
Speaker 1: And that's I didn't bother the like that I was
13:11
Speaker 1: a little boy. I don't think I processed it is
13:15
Speaker 1: as well, you know what I'm saying. I thought it
13:17
Speaker 1: was pretty funny. Uh you know the rest of the
13:20
Speaker 1: tape wasn't pining, but the eating part was amazing. I
13:23
Speaker 1: learned how to eat because of All Kelly in that tape.
13:25
Speaker 1: He put on that make you want to try that?
13:29
Speaker 1: Kelly doing that for hours ulified. Like I said, I
13:36
Speaker 1: was a little boy. I was like, I was like,
13:39
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like that's girls, That's what the
13:41
Speaker 1: dude comes out about. When he came on the girl
13:45
Speaker 1: and he peeed, he came again in the matter of
13:48
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, come pe come. Oh man, he was going.
13:52
Speaker 1: He was gonna full speed and he was going. Think
13:57
Speaker 1: about when we was in this we get in the studio.
14:01
Speaker 1: But you know, when I sent him the record, I'm
14:03
Speaker 1: thinking like, all right, this r Kelly. And he sent
14:05
Speaker 1: me back to record and I was like, Yo, he
14:07
Speaker 1: didn't do the parts that I you know what I'm saying,
14:09
Speaker 1: really wanted him to do something like how do you
14:11
Speaker 1: tell Mark Kelly? Like, yo, nah, to go back in.
14:15
Speaker 1: Not that I don't like what you do, but I
14:16
Speaker 1: just need you to if you could just add this
14:18
Speaker 1: and then tweak this part, and then move this, and
14:19
Speaker 1: then I'm even you know what I'm saying, moving stuff
14:21
Speaker 1: around and turning stuff up and down. You're like, he's
14:23
Speaker 1: gonna be mad at me. He gonna not want to
14:25
Speaker 1: do the record now, But it was all good. He
14:26
Speaker 1: sent the record back. He went back in the studio
14:28
Speaker 1: and redid stuff and you don't send it even back. Crazy,
14:31
Speaker 1: But if he can't listen to you, then why would
14:32
Speaker 1: you want to work with him? Because you have, you
14:34
Speaker 1: have what it is. I mean, come on, right, But
14:36
Speaker 1: I feel like it's something you gotta still show improve,
14:38
Speaker 1: especially if it's like I've talked to R. Kelly, but
14:41
Speaker 1: I don't know what his favorite so I don't know
14:42
Speaker 1: if he really rocked with my records like that more
14:44
Speaker 1: so than just respect the brand and what I'm doing.
14:46
Speaker 1: So from there, it's like I gotta show improve and
14:49
Speaker 1: earn these people respect man, and really do that. Let's
14:52
Speaker 1: talk about your brand. You feel like your music is
14:54
Speaker 1: bigger than you because I feel like that, I feel
14:56
Speaker 1: like you could be marketed a little better as a person, right.
14:59
Speaker 1: I think I think that's my fault. I think you
15:01
Speaker 1: know my whole plan in the beginning, Like I tell people,
15:04
Speaker 1: it's because coming from the West Coast, I felt like
15:06
Speaker 1: we were stuck in such a box at the time
15:08
Speaker 1: when I was coming up to where people wanted specific sound,
15:10
Speaker 1: they want everybody to be the next game and all
15:12
Speaker 1: of that, to where I thought it was more important
15:15
Speaker 1: not to really stress about my personal where I was from,
15:18
Speaker 1: and give people too much besides the music first and
15:21
Speaker 1: let them appreciate that and then put two and two
15:23
Speaker 1: together when they're like, oh, that's the same guy who
15:25
Speaker 1: does this. I was interested in what he didn't. I
15:26
Speaker 1: don't even know that was his record, and then I
15:28
Speaker 1: think it kind of it was better. I'm saying for
15:30
Speaker 1: the growth. I'm not a person who's in the rush to,
15:33
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, to succeed over the top.
15:35
Speaker 1: What about other artists? Are you signing other artists? He said?
15:38
Speaker 1: Am I signing other artists? Yeah? I just signed this
15:41
Speaker 1: cat from Arizona, Vita Ruler. He's a crazy like spitter
15:44
Speaker 1: and more of a going like spitter, and I'm saying,
15:47
Speaker 1: trying to help just develop his songwriting skills, and I
15:49
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a crazy artist. And then got
15:52
Speaker 1: a bunch of different little producers. You know, I got
15:54
Speaker 1: Ned Cameron, who does a lot of my big records,
15:57
Speaker 1: and then you know, working baby shit Trow. He's only
16:03
Speaker 1: like a high boy record. Let him get to know
16:05
Speaker 1: you a little bit more before you start signing an artist, man.
16:08
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm not in a rush to, like
16:11
Speaker 1: but it's the same time, I want people to know
16:13
Speaker 1: that it's not just me out there working. I got
16:14
Speaker 1: a team and group of people like these are still
16:16
Speaker 1: people that motivate me in the studio and who inspired
16:19
Speaker 1: me to go harder. So I feel like, at the
16:21
Speaker 1: same time, you know what I'm saying, they're getting their
16:23
Speaker 1: shot in their moments without even having to force it.
16:25
Speaker 1: I think it was just like I remember reading something
16:27
Speaker 1: Kendrick said a long time ago. I was just like
16:29
Speaker 1: they're playing was everybody get their own fan bases this
16:32
Speaker 1: and that and then come together and you know what
16:33
Speaker 1: I'm saying in and it just looks better that way
16:35
Speaker 1: without over forcing it. You know, fans come together. You
16:38
Speaker 1: built your girl for a long time. How long you've
16:39
Speaker 1: been six years? Okay? So does she go through like
16:42
Speaker 1: your social media and Instagram and make sure you ain't
16:44
Speaker 1: dming and tweeting people? Did you have to do? You
16:46
Speaker 1: have to explain this tweet you said, I saw you,
16:48
Speaker 1: you said wilding out girls. You said every time you
16:51
Speaker 1: see one Tupac all about you starts playing in your head.
16:53
Speaker 1: I know she asked you about that. I know what
16:55
Speaker 1: this actually missed that and then somebody else brought it
16:58
Speaker 1: up in front to her and then I had to
17:01
Speaker 1: explain it. But it wasn't that bad. It was. She
17:03
Speaker 1: thought it was funny to an extent. She she was like,
17:05
Speaker 1: he really says something, guys like what you say? And
17:08
Speaker 1: then I told her I said, and she thought it
17:09
Speaker 1: was funny. It was just you know, what does it mean?
17:11
Speaker 1: That's for me just trying to, like I said, I'm
17:12
Speaker 1: trying to be a little bit more personal with just
17:14
Speaker 1: my thoughts. And I was watching Wild and now that
17:16
Speaker 1: was the first thought that came to my head. It's
17:18
Speaker 1: all about when I'm watching it, because it's a lot
17:20
Speaker 1: of those just girls. I thought it was funny. More
17:23
Speaker 1: so on Nick Cannon, Like I was like, yo, Nick,
17:26
Speaker 1: can't really goes out there and finds all like the
17:29
Speaker 1: popular internet video girls people that I see always just
17:32
Speaker 1: in different clubs or whatever. The fact. Maybe he was
17:35
Speaker 1: just saying, they see them now everywhere, is what you're saying.
17:38
Speaker 1: I know a couple of those girls, man, They good people,
17:40
Speaker 1: do too, some of them. I know a couple of
17:43
Speaker 1: them very well. He was talking. Well earlier today just
17:46
Speaker 1: before you got in here. She's not one of them, sir.
17:50
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you get your cook on too, right, Oh man,
17:52
Speaker 1: I'm out of here with it with the chef work.
17:54
Speaker 1: I'm right now. My my favorite specialty dishes, my lobster berrito.
17:58
Speaker 1: I saw he tweet up. Crab might sell it, like
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm really I might get a truck just for that
18:04
Speaker 1: one burrito and some fries and that's it. How'd you
18:07
Speaker 1: learn how to do that? You used to sitting around ball?
18:08
Speaker 1: It was a fat boy when I grew up. I
18:10
Speaker 1: was always in the cooking, mixing up stuff and just
18:13
Speaker 1: making fat boy meals. And I think from there, you know,
18:16
Speaker 1: just really paid attention to it. Really, you know what what
18:18
Speaker 1: I'm saying, step my game up and just just like
18:21
Speaker 1: I could make that at home. I feel like when
18:22
Speaker 1: I go to restaurants like this is great, this too
18:26
Speaker 1: is about to be crazy. I tell you a super
18:28
Speaker 1: weed smoker. So you thinking stuff like that a lot
18:31
Speaker 1: of Mariwanda. Sometimes the food you're making home is way
18:33
Speaker 1: better than anything you can buy anywhere. You know exactly
18:35
Speaker 1: what you like. Just cleaning up after them, that's the right, Yep,
18:39
Speaker 1: that's the problem. And that's why I have maids come
18:42
Speaker 1: twice a week. How'd you avoid the whole game? Style,
18:46
Speaker 1: how'd you avoid like having to be a blood or
18:48
Speaker 1: crip or whatever. Um, I think I was somebody who
18:51
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to uh have a lot of friends.
18:55
Speaker 1: Who are I guess doing that situation for me? Who
18:59
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying with still around all these
19:00
Speaker 1: guys and still in the circles. But they weren't, you
19:03
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, asking me or forcing me to
19:05
Speaker 1: do nothing that I think they kind of a lot
19:06
Speaker 1: of people saw the bigger picture because I got in
19:08
Speaker 1: the music early. So it was like, like I said,
19:10
Speaker 1: I used to run with Nipsey, like I produced this
19:12
Speaker 1: first single. I was in the same circles. I was
19:14
Speaker 1: right there on smausing I used, see what I'm saying,
19:16
Speaker 1: stay in the same neighborhoods, go to the same school.
19:18
Speaker 1: So you know, I used to get banged on in
19:21
Speaker 1: front of my house every day, like go home and
19:23
Speaker 1: like roll my door right there, like you don't really
19:25
Speaker 1: bang on me right here. So it's like I had
19:28
Speaker 1: the opportunities. But then I just saw the outcome in
19:30
Speaker 1: and I saw a lot of people just right. I
19:32
Speaker 1: had a lot of friends go to jail and die
19:34
Speaker 1: around me early. I got homies that I I went to
19:36
Speaker 1: school with us in for life, and I got homies
19:38
Speaker 1: that didn't make it past eleventh grade. So it's like
19:41
Speaker 1: you kind of look at it like, nah, man, that's
19:43
Speaker 1: not really and I'm lazy. I always to tell people
19:45
Speaker 1: like soon as y'all had a gang of meeting, you
19:49
Speaker 1: don't have a gang meeting. And I'm gonna wake up
19:50
Speaker 1: like today not to day. I'm not going to the
19:53
Speaker 1: meeting to day. I see you later. I'm about to
19:55
Speaker 1: play GTA all day. I'm not doing like you know
19:57
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So for me, I think I just
19:59
Speaker 1: I would have got in trouble because I'm just not
20:01
Speaker 1: showing up for those needings. Yeah, and then as soon
20:03
Speaker 1: as the big homie would have said something crazy out
20:05
Speaker 1: of I don't care who you are, bro like, and
20:07
Speaker 1: then you know what I'm saying, that kind of stuff
20:08
Speaker 1: doesn't right just from not being in order. You know
20:12
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that I can never do gangs, frats
20:15
Speaker 1: like all that in order stuff where military like it's
20:18
Speaker 1: I just can't. But they respected your talent enough to
20:20
Speaker 1: be like right, and they respect that I was making
20:22
Speaker 1: them beats too, Like all these people were you know
20:24
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, la, I felt like it was a
20:25
Speaker 1: lot of people trying it out since they could be
20:27
Speaker 1: artists seeing with work man, and you know, I was
20:30
Speaker 1: making beats fall these guys. Somebody told me that neutral
20:32
Speaker 1: guys get it get it the worst sometimes though, kind
20:35
Speaker 1: of because I mean, I feel like when something it
20:38
Speaker 1: just depends when they know you're not on BS or
20:41
Speaker 1: ain't know you don't want to be on BS. You
20:42
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, nitpick it you just to look
20:44
Speaker 1: better in front of their homies. But I ain't never
20:46
Speaker 1: had I ain't never been jumped in, nothing like that.
20:48
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody ever beat me up? So you said banged
20:51
Speaker 1: on though, what's banged on? Getting banged on? It is
20:53
Speaker 1: just where are you from? Why are you around here?
20:55
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying all that stuff, but you got
21:00
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, people try to pocket you,
21:01
Speaker 1: rob y'all that I ain't never been robbed either, though,
21:03
Speaker 1: so I don't know by none of that. We appreciate
21:06
Speaker 1: you joining us to small Yeah February third speed than
21:14
Speaker 1: the stuff that you've been delivering the radio like Yeah,
21:17
Speaker 1: because I think, uh, I always make that kind of music.
21:21
Speaker 1: I listen to that type of music. I think I'm always,
21:23
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, just trying new things. My
21:25
Speaker 1: biggest problem is, like I've been explaining to people, is
21:28
Speaker 1: I know how the game works. I know that I'm
21:30
Speaker 1: gonna need a single first, So you know, when I
21:32
Speaker 1: go into the studio for that first two weeks, I'm
21:35
Speaker 1: usually focused on, all right, this is a kind of
21:37
Speaker 1: beat some of the work on this time, and this
21:39
Speaker 1: is the kind of record I'm gonna try to get
21:40
Speaker 1: off present them to the label, hoping that they're gonna
21:43
Speaker 1: pick one out of ten, and they'd be like, let's
21:46
Speaker 1: take seven of those. I'm just like, nah, I don't know. No,
21:51
Speaker 1: Let's try to just get this one on this peron
21:53
Speaker 1: this and then they'll come back with this person said
21:56
Speaker 1: they want to get on this feature? Was it getting them?
21:57
Speaker 1: Just like, bro, Now, how am I supposed to argue
21:59
Speaker 1: with you if you didn't already threw all the features
22:01
Speaker 1: on the song and stuff like that. So I think,
22:02
Speaker 1: you know, I understand a little bit more how to
22:05
Speaker 1: play that game with this project, And you know what
22:07
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was a little bit more like I'm
22:09
Speaker 1: only send the knees. I'm gonna tuck these records and
22:12
Speaker 1: then send the knees and I'm saying, make it to
22:14
Speaker 1: where it was harder to fill it up with a
22:16
Speaker 1: bunch of singles, just poppy singles, man, and try to everything.
22:20
Speaker 1: But I had the mixtape come out. It's a little
22:22
Speaker 1: bit more stronger street stuff, you know what I'm saying.
22:24
Speaker 1: I think that's when I do that, when I give
22:26
Speaker 1: the fans more freestyles. Right now, I'm working on the
22:28
Speaker 1: alumni like mixtape, album, compilation project, whatever you wanna call it.
22:32
Speaker 1: And you know that's gonna be a little bit more
22:35
Speaker 1: of a thing where I'm showcasing the artists around me
22:38
Speaker 1: and the people who are you know what I'm saying, grinding.
22:39
Speaker 1: I think you know, we do a lot more than
22:41
Speaker 1: just radio records. I just understand that that's a good
22:44
Speaker 1: gift to have to make a radio record. Some artists
22:46
Speaker 1: can't do it the same thing, trust ausually, man. But
22:49
Speaker 1: I had to prove it to myself with this last project.
22:51
Speaker 1: I actually sat down and picked the record out, was like,
22:54
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna just go default. I'm not gonna
22:57
Speaker 1: overthink it. I'm gonna just make this kind of record
22:59
Speaker 1: and see it if it works. And then it ended
23:01
Speaker 1: up being a hotel featuring Chris Brown. I'm like, I
23:04
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be that easy man. I was trying
23:07
Speaker 1: to see if it didn't work and just make sure
23:09
Speaker 1: it was he what I'm saying, but I vibed that way.
23:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. There you go. Well, let's kid ink,
23:13
Speaker 1: Let's the Breakfast Club. Good morning yep,
