- 1:38Speaker 3: Like, oh, that's Friday.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I know that's Friday because it sounds like you.
- 1:43Speaker 5: Yeah, did you feel like a lot of times that
- 1:45Speaker 5: people recognize your voice more than like actually recognizing you,
- 1:49Speaker 5: like as a person.
- 1:51Speaker 3: You too, probably like last year, ain't gonna lie no more.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you start popping out now.
- 1:57Speaker 5: I feel like when you first when you first blew up,
- 1:59Speaker 5: like people never really saw you like you.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, well, it was definitely like that
- 2:04Speaker 4: last year because it was like it was like God
- 2:08Speaker 4: did and the Little Baby Record.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Then it just start building up.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Like but then but then Little Baby Record come out
- 2:15Speaker 1: before God did, after God did.
- 2:17Speaker 4: Okay, but that's just them hearing them ship on the radio.
- 2:20Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 2:21Speaker 4: But now I'm doing it like the video baby popping
- 2:24Speaker 4: out the concerts he brings your face. It was like
- 2:27Speaker 4: popping out State Farm Arena, like like the past year.
- 2:30Speaker 4: I just been running around everywhere, was like, now.
- 2:33Speaker 1: How does that make you feel?
- 2:35Speaker 3: Cool? I love it? I love it?
- 2:37Speaker 1: Okay, Now I know that makes the price go up too.
- 2:39Speaker 3: It's a blessing, bro.
- 2:41Speaker 1: How does an artist like you determine what determines making
- 2:43Speaker 1: the price go up?
- 2:47Speaker 2: That's a good question.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Really, you really got to know what the price is,
- 2:53Speaker 4: like like at first, like you chesting the order, like
- 2:56Speaker 4: what would they give me?
- 2:58Speaker 3: Then you ship it from there and then you be like, well,
- 2:59Speaker 3: other niggas, Yeah, that's.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Really what it is, like what's going on in the market.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Because these niggas already you know what I'm saying before
- 3:06Speaker 4: they even come to you. They already know what's going on,
- 3:09Speaker 4: like like my agents and all that, with your streaming,
- 3:11Speaker 4: your markets and all that. That's and then I would
- 3:16Speaker 4: say the price went up when I went on tour.
- 3:17Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie, And you went on tour with
- 3:20Speaker 4: by myself the first John that was probably it months ago.
- 3:24Speaker 4: I want your headline, your London aver The price went
- 3:28Speaker 4: up for that?
- 3:30Speaker 1: Now, how important is the DJ? I always wanted to
- 3:33Speaker 1: ask an artist, especially a newer artist like you, how
- 3:37Speaker 1: important is the DJ and like to your music, playing
- 3:41Speaker 1: your music, getting support from DJs.
- 3:45Speaker 3: DJ, they running the whole joint. Bro, you know what
- 3:48Speaker 3: I'm saying.
- 3:49Speaker 4: They run the whole movement, especially even on stage, my DJ,
- 3:53Speaker 4: Bud you turning it up.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Bro.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I always think that an artist with a good relationship
- 4:00Speaker 1: their DJ has better shows than you can tell what
- 4:02Speaker 1: an artist and their DJ they They can have a show,
- 4:06Speaker 1: but it looks like the DJ is just pushing play
- 4:08Speaker 1: and they not rehearsing. They're not rehearsing together, really be rehearsing.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Okay, all the songs and all that, like word for word,
- 4:16Speaker 4: all the unreleased music.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So it's like, how did y'all link up?
- 4:19Speaker 3: Philly?
- 4:23Speaker 1: He that guy.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Guy?
- 4:25Speaker 4: Like like when I was coming up, bro, Oh so
- 4:28Speaker 4: you already knew who he was on some tip Like yo, Bro,
- 4:31Speaker 4: I'm telling my man your tell book play my ship
- 4:35Speaker 4: on the radio. I was a nobody, but now that's
- 4:40Speaker 4: probably the only name I knew.
- 4:41Speaker 3: I was like when gell bro for sure?
- 4:46Speaker 1: So so what is what keeps you motivating now? Because
- 4:50Speaker 1: I know you're getting some success, Like what what keeps
- 4:52Speaker 1: you motivated? Because I know, I know sometimes when you
- 4:54Speaker 1: start achieving things, you be like, damn, I got that,
- 4:56Speaker 1: Now what's next for you?
- 4:59Speaker 4: There's a lot more like like I achieved a lot,
- 5:03Speaker 4: but it's like it's so many places I ain't touch yet.
- 5:07Speaker 4: That's that's that that's what keep me motivated, or like
- 5:09Speaker 4: it's the respect some type of like respect I ain't
- 5:12Speaker 4: get yet that I feel like I deserve what you mean.
- 5:15Speaker 1: By respect from more fans or amongst your peers.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I wouldn't even say.
- 5:21Speaker 1: It's like clean us up, real good.
- 5:27Speaker 3: My fans already know who I am with my family.
- 5:30Speaker 4: That's my fans. You know what I'm saying. They're gonna
- 5:32Speaker 4: tell me every day we locked in. But it's like
- 5:35Speaker 4: it's certain markets.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Were you like, man, I got I gotta get hot
- 5:40Speaker 2: and still hit over there.
- 5:41Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, it's certain places. I was like, damn,
- 5:43Speaker 3: they don't know me. We're here. Oh we still got
- 5:45Speaker 3: more work.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you said.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Because it's like certain artists they could be lit somewhere
- 5:51Speaker 5: like live everywhere else and then you be like, man,
- 5:53Speaker 5: I need to get this market because you like I
- 5:56Speaker 5: always tell people, like one thing I like about like
- 5:59Speaker 5: artists like Boosy is like Boosy hit all the markets.
- 6:03Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 6:03Speaker 5: He be hitting the markets that you would think that
- 6:05Speaker 5: like people ain't even going to the markets. So then
- 6:08Speaker 5: I feel like that's when artists had like a longevity
- 6:11Speaker 5: of success as far as getting booking, Like even if
- 6:13Speaker 5: you ain't just the hottest artists out, like you gonna
- 6:15Speaker 5: eat forever because you're supporting those markets that you know,
- 6:18Speaker 5: people ain't really tapping into.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm explaining like that, like Boosy like me my market, Right,
- 6:24Speaker 4: I got every trenching in the US. Okay, every time
- 6:27Speaker 4: I go to where my folks is, I'm cool. Right,
- 6:30Speaker 4: I went on tour a boogie Europe and Europe like,
- 6:34Speaker 4: oh shit, it's a whole other way.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that international.
- 6:38Speaker 4: All them eighteen year old eighteen year old white kids,
- 6:43Speaker 4: them niggas was not singing word for world, you know
- 6:45Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So that's that was an example like,
- 6:47Speaker 4: oh I got far the way to go, Like it's
- 6:49Speaker 4: more hits. I gotta make to cross over to them,
- 6:52Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
- 6:53Speaker 1: But that's probably good motivation too.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I didn't think artists pay attention to stuff like that
- 6:58Speaker 2: you do.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Especially it's the traveling, okay, and opening up for different
- 7:03Speaker 4: artists like when.
- 7:04Speaker 5: You when you when you leave the US, that's when
- 7:07Speaker 5: it's like, okay, let me see how lit I really am.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Like okay, but the thing is I'm lit over there.
- 7:13Speaker 3: But he bring a different audience, different his audience.
