Speaker 1: I had that pr they took me in a different
8:59
Speaker 1: realm where other guys weren't getting that spotlight attention because
9:02
Speaker 1: they simply weren't putting that money on themselves. So a
9:05
Speaker 1: pubs has been has been very essential for me. My
9:08

12:32
Speaker 1: you know, just working with all the guys from Memphis,
12:34
Speaker 1: working with the upcoming scene. Money bag Yo young Dolf
12:38
Speaker 1: Yo Gotti. I came up with Gotta you know what
12:40
Speaker 1: I'm saying, bumped into him when I moved to Cordova,
12:43
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He started getting familiar with
12:44
Speaker 1: the North Memphis. IM from South Memphis. Like around fourteen fifteen,
12:48
Speaker 1: I moved to Cordova, which the suburbs like Cordova right
12:51
Speaker 1: there about Riley Millington with justin Timberlake at you know
12:55
Speaker 1: what I mean. So that put me in a different
12:57
Speaker 1: area where now the whole city and is familiar. And
13:01
Speaker 1: after that passed the trust out of reaching out Big
13:04
Speaker 1: Block reached out on the boys in the hood. After that,
13:07
Speaker 1: Jeez went solo. Standing Ovation was my first platinum plaque,
13:11
Speaker 1: and then from there Berdman Money to Blow, Rocko, I'm
13:15
Speaker 1: gonna do me, uh apply shanty, keep going to chains,
13:22
Speaker 1: I'm running around. I'm getting it. You know what I mean. August,
13:26
Speaker 1: I've seen a no Love. You know what I mean.
13:29
Speaker 1: We come with the remix featuring Nicki Minaj. You know
13:32
Speaker 1: what I mean. Jeezy White Girl, I put on lose
13:35
Speaker 1: my mind. You know, it's flexing, just so many different
13:41
Speaker 1: records that just just coming back to back walking, flocking,
13:43
Speaker 1: no hands um and then you know, looking at my
13:46
Speaker 1: dad for the me goes um and then we're popping
13:50
Speaker 1: for NBA Young Boy and just boocool plethora of street music,
13:56
Speaker 1: DJ drama, Oh my day dreaming. Oh man, it's so
14:02
Speaker 1: many records. I can't even keep up, and it's so crazys.
14:07
Speaker 1: It's wild because people don't even know the half of
14:09
Speaker 1: what you've done. Like I think, if anybody thinks of
14:12
Speaker 1: drummer Boy, especially from my time, they're probably thinking of
14:15
Speaker 1: your older records. But to hear that you are still
14:18
Speaker 1: in the lab with these new cats and it's it's
14:21
Speaker 1: so refreshing, it's it's it's on trend, it's on time.
14:26
Speaker 1: Like you are so talented to be able to evolve
14:29
Speaker 1: like that, because we all know hip hop changes. The sound,
14:32
Speaker 1: the foundation the same, but the sound of hip hop
14:34
Speaker 1: changes with every generation, and you, my guy, are are
14:38
Speaker 1: consistent as fun. Man, I think I had to cheat
14:41
Speaker 1: code being in the game and like fifteen, you know
14:44
Speaker 1: what I mean. So I'm on the thirty seven. So
14:48
Speaker 1: having that twenty years in the game is still in
14:51
Speaker 1: my thirties is like I think a little little part
14:54
Speaker 1: of the cheek cool as well as having relationships with
15:00
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody. You know what I'm saying, and you
15:03
Speaker 1: know when you're cool, and people know that you ain't
15:05
Speaker 1: no big talking as loud mouthfast, very humble, respectful person.
15:10
Speaker 1: People trust you differently, you know what I'm saying, like
15:14
Speaker 1: and as well as respect you differently. So I think
15:16
Speaker 1: my respect level of trust is in a different area.
15:20
Speaker 1: And you you you said something perfect with se What
15:22
Speaker 1: seguatees me to ask you this question, is boy gonna

17:40
Speaker 1: copying and paste and medy and copying loops and ship
17:43
Speaker 1: like now, it's it's it's hard to distinguish because the
17:46
Speaker 1: sound is all like the same right now, everybody makes
17:50
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Everybody got similar style beach
17:53
Speaker 1: right now, like the producer that sticks out to me
17:56
Speaker 1: right now is here before pet Boys in his own
18:00

18:02
Speaker 1: straight to the club got Zilly. When I hear club

18:09
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because it's new, it's fresh.
18:11
Speaker 1: He coming with his own flavor. Even if everybody, like
18:14
Speaker 1: all of us, were infused with something, you know what
18:18
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But it's just especially when you hear somebody
18:22
Speaker 1: like nobody did that when three six Mafia sound was out,
18:27
Speaker 1: when they was coming with that ship Juicy J, DJ
18:30
Speaker 1: Pau like, man, nothing sounded like that. When Drama Board
18:34
Speaker 1: was coming out, Ain't nothing sound like that? Then it's
18:37
Speaker 1: it's the whole world making trap. Now we started trapping.
18:40
Speaker 1: This was some ship he started. I'm a founder of
18:42
Speaker 1: trapp Bro. You know what I'm saying. Trap was a
18:45
Speaker 1: location when we was coming up every by the time
18:47
Speaker 1: I crank music, you know what I'm saying, then fingers
18:51
Speaker 1: snap music. You know what I'm saying. We was on
18:55
Speaker 1: trap ship because this is where we was at. I'm
18:56
Speaker 1: in the trap, I'm I'm I'm I'm off Elvis President
18:59
Speaker 1: and in South mempers My. You see saying I'm I'm anyway.
19:06
Speaker 1: That that's that's the difference with me. I'm anywhere in
19:10
Speaker 1: the United States. No, you are in entrenches, you know
19:16
Speaker 1: what I mean, as well as the top corporate headquarters,
19:20
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and and delivering results. And
19:24
Speaker 1: that's that's what it's about for me. Making these kids smile,
19:27
Speaker 1: motivating these kids to get into music, motivating these kids
19:30
Speaker 1: to learn how to play keyboards and learning music theory
19:35
Speaker 1: and making beats. Beats is away out now, you know
19:39
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like we we started, the people was hooping,
19:43
Speaker 1: playing basketball, going to college, everybody making beats now, everybody
19:48
Speaker 1: making music now. So it's it's a blessing man, It's
19:51
Speaker 1: it's flattery to see the whole world. You did the moonwalk,
19:53
Speaker 1: and you see the whole world doing the moon walks.
19:55
Speaker 1: And I keep going back to Michael Jackson. That's how
19:57
Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know, I don't know. Oh
20:00
Speaker 1: my generation on the Michael Jackson making beats. We'll be
20:02
Speaker 1: right back with more of the Baller Alert Show. Back
20:07
Speaker 1: to the Baller Alert Show starting Ferrari Simmons and Sues
20:12
Speaker 1: so long. So when you feel the current state of production.
20:17
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because it's making people be creative,
20:20
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean? Even for me, Okay,
20:22
Speaker 1: I jump into the reggae world, still give you a
20:24
Speaker 1: top team. We're gonna do a recordar Depth to Depths
20:27
Speaker 1: and Debbie though the Vito. You know what I'm saying,
20:30
Speaker 1: Like it's it's about the versatility and being able to evolve.
20:34
Speaker 1: And when you make music when you can read, write, arranged, composed,
20:38
Speaker 1: is nothing I can't make. I can make genres when
20:42
Speaker 1: I when I feel like it. You know what I'm
20:44
Speaker 1: saying that, Like, that's what we do is push the limit.
20:46
Speaker 1: The for Rel's, the Justice Leagues, um Man, Hit Board,
20:51
Speaker 1: even Wheezy. You know what I'm saying, Big fan Man.
20:54
Speaker 1: So many producers I love eight or eight Mafia, the
20:58
Speaker 1: whole Mafia squad. You know I'm saying, like where it's
21:01
Speaker 1: a it's a lot of producers that I give credit
21:03
Speaker 1: to this that's doing anything. Murder beats Now that you
21:07
Speaker 1: said something. Was there ever a time artists made it
21:11
Speaker 1: hard for you to work with them? Um? I would
21:14
Speaker 1: say one particular time, but you know he need getting
21:16
Speaker 1: the booth, So how could I work with you hein't
21:18
Speaker 1: need getting the booth, and we was trusting, you know,

Speaker 1: City and I mean Verse Simmons and rock City and
21:28
Speaker 1: Man all the jazzy fade and just book whose songwriters.
21:32
Speaker 1: Everybody coming through, everybody getting in the booth. But you
21:35
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's a little difficult occasion.
21:38
Speaker 1: But I showed made some hits out of the sessions.
21:43
Speaker 1: It took some of them ruggords and placed some other places,
21:45
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But you know what I'm saying.

22:06
Speaker 1: uh you know, things to kind of like the vibe

22:17
Speaker 1: lay low. If you see a motherfucker already in his
22:20
Speaker 1: in his rhythm, you know, what I mean, like Gucci Man.

Speaker 1: The Geezy love for me was very real, like I
27:45
Speaker 1: had a Jazy sticker in the middle of my steering wheel.
27:48
Speaker 1: Like everybody knew. We did not play about Jez, especially
27:51
Speaker 1: in full Ford. So here you on so many of
27:54
Speaker 1: his records, and and some of our favorite ones were
27:57
Speaker 1: really from you. It was difficult to get way from you.
28:00
Speaker 1: It was different. And the only reason why I'm on
28:04
Speaker 1: Jeez so much like that is because he was on
28:07
Speaker 1: our sound with me coming out of Memphis. When I
28:11
Speaker 1: first met Jeezy, first thing he said to me, Hey, nigga,
28:15

28:48
Speaker 1: for the coma, for me my song, Yeah, but it
28:52
Speaker 1: was them horns though. So the horns boys I had already.
28:56
Speaker 1: If you go back and listen to That's What's Up,
28:58
Speaker 1: That's what's so we did in two thousand three, you
29:01
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, you know what I mean.
29:02
Speaker 1: You gotta think. Okay, I'm I'm in high school, man, Yeah,

29:16
Speaker 1: I came up with, Yo, gotta you see what I'm saying,
29:19
Speaker 1: I'm working with God in the inevitable entertainment. A lot
29:23
Speaker 1: of people ain't even familiar in ever to entertainment. I
29:26
Speaker 1: need you know what I mean, Like, I'm in Memphis
29:28
Speaker 1: stomping with I've come up with the guys from the
29:31
Speaker 1: fucking ground zero. You're the young guy in the room
29:33
Speaker 1: about man, I added that particular time, because you're what
29:36
Speaker 1: nine absolutely absolutely and making hits. So we're stomped through
29:41
Speaker 1: the streets. This would put me through the streets of Tennessee, Mississippi. Arkansas, Houston.
29:47
Speaker 1: Then I work with Teler. I did three songs on
29:49
Speaker 1: Teela Double Dose album. So I do that. This is
29:53
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. This is before Jesus and of
29:56
Speaker 1: that music and never even hit, you know what I'm saying.
29:59
Speaker 1: Then I'm get one with Blumby and Gainst the Boot,
30:03
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Sipping and spinning. Then I
30:05
Speaker 1: did a song with Jody Breese and Slim Thug called
30:10
Speaker 1: Stacking Paper Man. I love Jody Breeze. I don't know why, Um,
30:14
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the flowers he deserves from from others.

30:26
Speaker 1: just it's just the business. You know, it's this game
30:29
Speaker 1: is a business game. But um, after Stacking Paper I
30:34
Speaker 1: did a song for Scarface at nineteen Calls Never Never.
30:44
Speaker 1: It was on his May album. So you gotta think,
30:47
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. When I'm in that
30:49
Speaker 1: Lounta and I really get next to Jesus, he was
30:53
Speaker 1: just like bro, Like, man, that ship you got Gudy
30:57
Speaker 1: on Man, I just made the other ship cool. But
31:00
Speaker 1: that ship you got with God I need that because
31:02
Speaker 1: God Jeezy was a fan of horns. And when I
31:05
Speaker 1: was doing standing Ovation and making that beat, I rode
31:09
Speaker 1: from Patwork all the way to Stone Mountain listening to
31:11
Speaker 1: Trap of Down and it was like, Bro, this the
31:14
Speaker 1: only sound he got in every beat was horns. So
31:19
Speaker 1: standing Ovation that was the first sound that I put
31:22
Speaker 1: behind his vocals. Was the moment, you know what I mean.
31:27
