  Speaker 1: Music's Lost History, only on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is always going to require a lot of show prep.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: My podcast platforms feature thousands of guests, and what you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: don't have access to are my missed opportunities. I mean,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the show prep was 100% completed. The conversation didn't happen.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history. It's like
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a message in a bottle that's been tossed out to sea.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I hope to locate a destination. This week, we're putting
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: focus on my missed opportunity with singer-songwriter, Detroit rapper, Red. Singer-songwriter, Red,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: hip-hop artist from the Motor City, Detroit. He first appeared
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: on the music scene as a solo performer inside the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: borders that made up 2013. His first release on his
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: own was a tune titled Just For Me, which lyrically
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: followed Red's feelings about the breakup of his band, Suburban Syndicate.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Just For Me caught on very quickly, a sure sign
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that this solo performer was taking one giant leap onto
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a gigantic big choice. The follow-up song was Shut It Down.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It was a dubstep rap tune. If you've caught Red
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in concert, Red uses his words to paint vivid pictures
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of positive inspiration overcoming hardship. In 2014, he was named
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Detroit's Most Celebrated Up-and-Coming Hip-Hop Artist. Red never relies on
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: cheap frills, which led him to being honored with the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Ultimate Musician Beat 100 Award. Music Connect landed Red in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the top 10 rappers to break out in 2014. Now,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the invitation to talk with Red, and it's spelled R-E-D-D,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it arrived on October 13th, 2020. Oh my God, right
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: smack dab in the middle of the COVID lockdown. The
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: talk was for a digital radio station whose focus has
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: always been on up-and-coming singer-songwriters. The conversation was scheduled. It
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: would be our fifth time since 2016. Except this time,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it became a missed opportunity. Coming up next, the questions,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the statements for Red, R-E-D-D, out of Detroit. Hey, thanks
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for coming back to missed opportunity. Our missed opportunity this
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: time around is with red R E D D out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of Detroit being seen on the same stage with Mickey Avalon.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: What was that like? You know, we got to talk
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: about battleship red. I mean, listen to this lyric set
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: me apart from a sinister pain. Ooh, dude, the EDM
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: beat continues to grow deeper and deeper inside the streets.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What is it that you're feeling that you need to speak?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You're going to be heading out to the West Coast.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Lots of artists out there just waiting to meet you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: What do you think you're going to come back with?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: How much has the real world of music toughened you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: up as an artist? Now, the goal is always to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: release brand new singles and to play them live. You
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: truly are moving in the right direction. What's your reaction
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to that? I got to ask you, who is singing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the chorus on the song Battleship? I mean, we've already
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: talked about the lyrics, but who is doing that chorus?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Do you think we're going through a new age of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: hip hop? I mean, is it changing right here before
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: our eyes and a lot of people are just kind
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of walking on by? Because I know you, Red, you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ain't going to be sitting around just going, I think
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I'll get around to it. No, you always get to it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And there you have it. My questions for Red, R-E-D-D,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: out of Detroit. Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Now that you know the questions, let's locate the answers.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The door is always going to be open. If you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are or know Red, please reach out to me at
