- 0:29What is going on, everybody? Anthony here for the, a BJ
- 0:32podcast, if it sounds a little different listening on the audio
- 0:35side, this is my first test of a podcast in person with my new
- 0:42setup. Now, if you're looking at the
- 0:44video I hope it looks cool, right?
- 0:47We're out in the the back patio section of pill Guru Brewing
- 0:51Company in Pottsville Pennsylvania and hopefully at
- 0:54one point in time I can get the same camera I have, but a three
- 0:57camera setup. So one will be on me.
- 0:58My Guessing that. So right now it's kind of just a
- 1:01one camera shot. So it's going to be just one
- 1:02continuous shot. Like your normal saying, the
- 1:05future hopefully is to get two more of these cameras so I can
- 1:08do three shots but that's that's going to come in the future.

- 9:23Black, don't crack right? You don't look good.
- 9:30I feel that this is my time right now.
- 9:32I shouldn't have had it back then when I was young because I
- 9:34don't know how to appreciate it and treat it if it would have
- 9:37blue. And then, you know what I mean?
- 9:39In my right now, I'm in my right state of mind, all my brother Is
- 9:43a DNR, right? State of Mind to receive
- 9:45everything. We need to receive from what we
- 9:47doing right now. Yeah, I made.
- 9:48And this is coming together, bro.
- 9:50Yeah. I mean like, you know what I'm
- 9:54saying, so who are some musicians that you lean on our
- 10:00that inspire, you are styles that you kind of reflect our
- 10:04their message of positivity that you that you kind of feed from
- 10:08were derived from Well, as far as message, I would definitely
- 10:13have to say Public Enemy to show.
- 10:15You know what I mean? For group, just showing unity
- 10:22and like, yo, we come to mash it up, Wu-Tang of course, you know
- 10:26what I'm saying? Like we are, we come to, you
- 10:28know, individually old dirty was my man cuz I like that.
- 10:32You know what I mean? That offbeat to where you've
- 10:35been, what the hell. Yeah, exactly.
- 10:38Catch you off guard type shit. That was my do when you speak.
- 10:41You listen from Wu-Tang. Yeah, I'm saying ice cube, of
- 10:45course Q-tip. It's All Over YouTube.
- 10:50I love you. Yo I love a lot to this morning
- 10:53type. It looks a lot of different shit
- 10:57Bro. Should I be like Marilyn
- 10:59Manson's? First album The Beautiful
- 11:00People. That was my sister bro.
- 11:01Yeah, you know what I'm saying? They do decide that video.
- 11:04I was like y'all would love to have him shoot a video for ya do
- 11:08was crazy with the camera, you know what I mean?
- 11:10But it's good. Music can be denied bro.
- 11:13And I listened to shift from Japan, JP, wavy.
- 11:18I've never heard that one now. Japanese artists.
- 11:21He's got the Soundtrack on not this fast and furious but the
- 11:28last one. Okay, we got the title track on
- 11:30that nice to me. So I'm all over the board with a
- 11:34girl. Good music is good music, no
- 11:35matter what it is, we do. Yeah.
- 11:37But what I choose to represent is something that I feel that
- 11:41could be helpful, not to hinder, you know, I'm saying, all that,
- 11:45get you on a certain frequency and vibration that's all You
- 11:49know I'm saying? Like other than what's needed,
- 11:52right? Yeah it wasn't eating right now,
- 11:54you know what's needed right now.
- 11:55Shit, he's crazy. It sounds, it sounds so corny to
- 12:00say and I think if you try to say this shit in the 90s and
- 12:042000's are even like mid-2000s people would shit like shit on
- 12:08you for saying it, but man, like we have way too much negativity.
- 12:12There's too much division. There's too much people hating.
- 12:15Each like families are being torn apart for just play.
- 12:19Cool reasons and and like everything that should be
- 12:23bringing people together is what's tearing us all apart and
- 12:27good music and good. Art can bring the people back
- 12:30together. It's almost that reality check
- 12:33of like, like I said, I'm a punk rock kid, but I also love my hip
- 12:36hop and and like both week, I think we kind of talked about
- 12:40this man. Punk rock is essentially just
- 12:42poor white people. Pissed off at the establishment
- 12:45is and Hip-Hop is poor. Black kid, his thoughts.
- 12:51Black lipstick leopard-skin coat shopping at the Goodwill Thorn.
- 12:55Her Fashions together. She turned me on to the Dead
- 12:58Milkmen and all of that. Yeah, all of that while shit,
- 13:01well, but I like that shit. Some of that shit is fucking
- 13:03dope. Yeah.
- 13:04You know what I mean? So, I think they kind of, I told
- 13:08I was like, yeah, this is fucking keep it right, hip hop.
- 13:11Yeah, it really. It's it's very, really much is.
- 13:15So it's the same. It's the same message as a
- 13:17different drum beat. You know, fuck.
- 13:19Don't go? Yeah, the music is good music.
- 13:21Now you talked about you like you have an eye for production.
- 13:24You said you like the camera work on some stuff you are part
- 13:27of a little bit production team as well.
- 13:29Yeah. My son's a more you know with
- 13:31the cameras. I ain't even gonna lie.
- 13:32I'll probably hold a couple of lights and shit like that.

- 15:18beautiful thing about Community and and, and how we're talking
- 15:21about small business and yes, beer beer, we're in aboard, a
- 15:26brewery in Pottsville owned by people.
- 15:29I truly truly love. We don't lose our first second
- 15:32time we ever sat down and talked yes and we're bonded over the
- 15:35fact that we're enjoying a great, a great beverage in a
- 15:38great small business and and this place is community, is they
- 15:42support music? They support people like myself
- 15:45of creativity and this place is just a hub for it.
- 15:49And here's A connection right here at we're filming it here
- 15:51just in the back hanging out a lot for you.
- 15:54Yeah I mean I like it's really dope, I don't know, I love it.
- 15:59So if you're in the pond salaria there's so much cool stuff and
- 16:02how was your experience in Pottsville been?
- 16:05It's been pretty good to be honest.
- 16:07No, it's been good. You know, bro.
- 16:11Hiccups on the Block, but it's to be expected.
- 16:14So I'm not going to make something that's 5 and turned
- 16:17into a 10, okay? Can I ask From experience.
- 16:20So I had friends who moved from where I am right now.
- 16:24They moved from New York to want to city, which is like two towns
- 16:27over and and they struggled a lot because it was a culture
- 16:30shock. If we do going from, you know,
- 16:32an area where it was predominantly, you know, a mixed
- 16:34bag of New York of every, every, like the Melting Pot to come
- 16:37into an area that is for the most part predominately white.
- 16:40Right. How much of it do you think is
- 16:45hate? And how much have you think is
- 16:47misunderstanding? Because they don't, First and
- 16:49culture. I don't know what the I don't
- 16:56know if it would have been necessarily call the hate
- 16:58because it depends on what they say.
- 16:59What they experience is. Yeah well that's one thing I
- 17:01think it gets misconstrued as hate but I think a lot of it is
- 17:05they just like and it's not I'm not saying it's not their fault,
- 17:09but they never lived next to someone who that.
- 17:13Yeah, like, they're never had a never had different cultures or
- 17:16things like that but I feel like exactly you come to a place like
- 17:19this you have a beer? Yeah, you can sit down, you talk
- 17:21to each other exact break bread. It's new to them.
- 17:24So it's It's a little it's for me.
- 17:26Yeah. Well they're going to act, you
- 17:28know. Like when you see some more you
- 17:30taste, something that you ain't never tasted freedom on what the
- 17:32fuck is this? Yeah, it's unfortunate, but it
- 17:36is what it is. You gotta get used to be
- 17:38somewhere. So I'm like, what the fuck is
- 17:39this? So, you know, and I don't blame
- 17:45them for that, you know, to me. But me, personally, I live so
- 17:49many different places, so it's your bounce around in the me.
- 17:52Yeah, I was a military brat, so we.
- 17:54Okay. Any for nine years were you born
- 17:56were you? Born on a base?
- 17:58No, no I was born in Jersey but so my mom was born in Germany on
- 18:02a military base. Oh shit.
- 18:03Okay, yeah, she was born. My mom was the same boat.
- 18:07She lived in Hawaii state lived in Italy, they lived in Germany.
- 18:11They were all over the world. My with my grandfather, right?
- 18:14Yeah, nice. We're all were all.
- 18:17Did you experience? You said, Germany, dude guard.
- 18:20And we lived in Kroll Show in Germany.
- 18:22Yeah. How old are you?
- 18:2579 come back till I was like 15. So you had a good chunk of your
- 18:29youth in Germany. How is that was fucking dope,

- 18:51experience that you could drink at 14 over there, the Bears are
- 18:54I fucking still mess around, that's bull.
- 18:58Yeah, weird. So what is your journey been,
- 19:04you know, going from a bigger area to like the Jersey area and
- 19:09then moving to a place like Pottsville and still keeping
- 19:12because when you get in these smaller towns man and things
- 19:14close at 9:00 10:00 at night and it's easy to get caught up and
- 19:19shit because there's everybody knows everybody and you're
- 19:21everyone's in a each other's business and, you know, I mean
- 19:24like you live in a bigger city man.
- 19:27You can see someone you never said that person ever again, you
- 19:29know, I mean it's one of those environments but coming from
- 19:32that to hear and and still trying to chase this dream at
- 19:36your age. How was that?
- 19:39How was that process been? I trust the process, it's going
- 19:45how it's supposed to go, you know, I'm just laying on my back
- 19:49and floating. I'm not going to fight the
- 19:51current another that just let the universe.
- 19:53Take what you need today, is going exactly how it's supposed
- 19:55to go and I love them with that. Love that, you know, I mean I'm
- 19:58enjoying my journey, man, I be hungry.
- 20:00I was swimming too. Damn hard and burning myself
- 20:03Outlook. Now I can't float, can't flow,

- 21:07Like this is the one you should check out.
- 21:11With me. Yeah, I would say the one I got
- 21:15online right now, the last one I put out for watching friends
- 21:20because it's dealing with the vaccine and all of that.
- 21:23Hey yo. How we gonna get controversial
- 21:28are not only one want to shit on my body I believe in but I'm not
- 21:34with the shenanigans. I'm not with the whitewash.
- 21:37I'm not with this sheeple type of shit at no shape form or
- 21:41fashion. So if you ain't open to hearing
- 21:45some shit and being like yo there's some validity to that.
- 21:50Yeah, you know that mean then I may not be fully I'm not going
- 21:54to be for everybody. Yeah.
- 21:56Well with that I'm cool with that.
- 22:01If I'm not your cup of tea in enemy but my shit is dope and
- 22:07I'm speaking that real shit. Yeah I'm saying I like it, I
- 22:10like it. Yeah yeah that is a very
- 22:13polarizing thing. I get bolt size of the spectrum,
- 22:16right? Because I do believe there's a
- 22:18lot that happens. So quick and a lot of
- 22:21misinformation on both sides were put out.
- 22:23Yay! I can't be mad at you.
- 22:26Being paranoid or some shit. Absolutely, I cannot I will not,
- 22:28I will not scrutinize you disrespect you now, but when I
- 22:31see people with the masculine side be like, see I did the
- 22:34mass, I did everything by the book I could because I also I
- 22:38believe in science. I believe in leaving sighs, I
- 22:41believe I am I am a dumb punk rock kid from school County
- 22:46Pennsylvania. So if someone in a medical field
- 22:49says, hey, you should probably do this for now until we figure
- 22:52shit out. I'm gonna listen right?
- 22:55Okay. And and I've been vaccinated as
- 22:59a kid and the things I'm vaccinated for.
- 23:01I'm good, like I'm not actually as a kid is when I mean, so when
- 23:05that came out I was like, I'll take the vaccines, I'll do what
- 23:07I got to do. If I feel like it's helping the
- 23:09greater good, I'll do it, and I did, but I can also see the
- 23:13other side of the spectrum of white people were paranoid to do
- 23:16it as well. You know, absolutely.
- 23:19I understand that totally could completely understand also have
- 23:22family members that work in hospitals and see ya what's
- 23:25really going on and how its unfolding?
- 23:28Yeah. Yo we can kick back for just
- 23:30saying this related to that. Yep, yeah yeah.
- 23:35Companies made a lot of companies made a lot of money.
- 23:38Did he did? Yeah, their tactics.
- 23:40Yes they did. They made a lot of money during
- 23:42a global pandemic billionaires became even more billionaires
- 23:46and poor people came more. Or during a pandemic scared to
- 23:49death, it was crazy. It is a lot of crazy should have
- 23:53to like that shit. I don't like you doing shit to
- 23:55the people for no fucking reason.
- 23:58I don't like that. You have the upper hand and and
- 24:00stopping everybody from everybody need to become
- 24:04Freeman. Yeah, let me not adjust your
- 24:06real quick. I want people to hear your so
- 24:09we're gonna do this, we're gonna give you a little extension so I
- 24:12keep keep a closer to mouth for you there.
- 24:15I don't want, I don't know. Yeah.
- 24:17Because I normally I normally I normally when I'm doing this in
- 24:22a studio I could hear everything right now.
- 24:24I'm just kind of like banking on this to this like sound perfect,
- 24:27you know, I mean so I'm nervous. I'm hoping this comes through
- 24:31good again. Yeah.
- 24:33And that's the thing. It's not scripted, it's all
- 24:34natural. No this is the Nats.
- 24:35You ask me this shit all over again.
- 24:37I'ma tell you the same shit. Absolutely, you know.
- 24:39No, that's the beauty. This is I want this to be a
- 24:41conversation. Essentially, the premise of what
- 24:44I wanted to do was like if you meet somebody in a bar and you
- 24:46have a conversation and we get to know each other and it
- 24:50couldn't be any more than that right now because we were
- 24:53literally at a bar getting to know each other.

- 24:56Yeah that may and The Vibes is piece from the dough.
- 24:59Yeah me so absolutely this. I love this back patio.
- 25:02There's a fire pit back here so I love it.
- 25:05I love it. So I love this place.
- 25:06It's my favorite place. That's not what the Interesting.
- 25:08Although this bar, I don't listen to Country.

- 25:16clothing line. That's yeah.

- 27:02Dominican Republic. Okay, okay.
- 27:05I think my music is out there. Is it?
- 27:07Because my On a beat maker that I knew in the Lehigh Valley.
- 27:12He's from there and he said, he took my CD out there, but when
- 27:15he came back, he didn't have it. His uncle had it, and he was
- 27:21like, yo, monk, you got that CD. He was like, yeah, I'm, I'm not
- 27:24fucked up, you ain't getting it back, you ain't getting that
- 27:27bad. There you go.
- 27:29So all I picked it was like, oh shit, what shit probably
- 27:31blasting in one of the one of the fucking stores out there
- 27:34with a wireless on, just mad speakers a whole wall of
- 27:37speakers just A new being there. Like, where did Nubian bear come

- 27:56So you just be like naturally, right?
- 28:00You move like a bear, some like the Quake strikes and shit.
- 28:02So I was like, and I mean, and then we was always studying.

- 28:18Not Coquette your weed, bear, not cocaine, Bear.
- 28:20Yeah. Let's get that clear and not the
- 28:23cocaine but not had the nerve to sit and watch that shit.
- 28:25You didn't like it but I'm walking crazy.
- 28:28I love over the. I fucking love was all over the
- 28:32place bro. What those kids did cook, it was
- 28:36the funniest shit ever. It was It's fucking hilarious
- 28:39and Ice Cube's kid is so good. He is, he's so good, so good, so
- 28:44classes because he's good early. He was in the one.
- 28:48He was in n.w.a., he played his dead.
- 28:50Yeah. I was thinking more or less, the
- 28:52one. I think that was probably easy
- 28:55for him to do that. Yeah.
- 28:56But to print the, the next movie he was in with the god from
- 29:00Pineapple Express, I didn't see that when he was hit was friend
- 29:04and he was trying to get whatever reporter chick.
- 29:05He was like, well, you know, her from back in the day, he plays,
- 29:08Friend. Yo, I'm like, yeah.
- 29:09Okay, he got versatile. He's good.
- 29:11Get really active. Yeah, I'm really tired MC.
- 29:15It ain't so hard. If you from the hood, you got
- 29:17like a rapper. Even if you can trap me, I think
- 29:21it's when people come from a back now.
- 29:24There's I don't think that kid ever grew up, maybe Ice Cube was
- 29:27like, listen, man, you're going to struggle a little bit.
- 29:29You're going to feel what I feel, who knows, or maybe he
- 29:31grew up like a rich kid, but something when people come from
- 29:34that like Ludacris and all these other people like wbe people,
- 29:38they're like, They get to a point where they're just like,
- 29:39yeah, they have that fuckin their system like, oh, yeah,
- 29:41I'll go do it and if I suck, fuck it.
- 29:43Yeah, you know, I mean, like, I'll figure it out as I go,
- 29:46it's, I don't know. It's just kind of having that
- 29:48attitude of just going for it, you know, exactly.
- 29:52And it work for well, besides besides moves at music and
- 29:55movies, like what? When you're not making music,
- 29:58when you're not help with the production team, we are not
- 30:00doing the clothing line. What do you do to unwind and for
- 30:03fun? Are you a big movie guy?
- 30:06Yeah, yeah. I love the funny.
- 30:09You know, that mean I love funny, shit.
- 30:11You know? Jack Black is my fucking, dude,
- 30:16you got to see Mario. If you like drunk, Like, You
- 30:18Gotta Love Jack, but you gotta sleep, our nation's D, what?
- 30:26Yes, what the fucking movie on DVD?
- 30:29Yeah, it's great boy. Hell yeah, that's my shit, love,
- 30:34shoot him. Shit John Wick, of course.
- 30:37Now, I mean, love karate, shit. Love research, research and
- 30:43study, you know what I mean? Got to be careful though because
- 30:46people do their research and they go on YouTube and they
- 30:51immediately like books and she yeah but bringing up shit.
- 30:54Yeah. But I think a lot of people do
- 30:55is I watch a YouTube video and then they consume what the
- 30:59YouTube video is and they take take it at just gospel, write
- 31:02that on there and it's like now you can listen to that.
- 31:05But then you have to go and study the other side of the
- 31:07spectrum. You know, I mean like for
- 31:08example, back podcasting I used to do a lot of different topics
- 31:13in a lot of different things and we did a topic of Aleister
- 31:17Crowley, you know, Aleister Crowley.
- 31:20Oh yeah, I know Aleister Crowley.
- 31:21It's so depending on him Madame blavatsky.
- 31:24Yeah. So depending on what book you
- 31:26read our content, you consume of Aleister Crowley.
- 31:29They could paint that dude to be a genius and paint him to be
- 31:33this revolutionary. Every person or you can learn
- 31:38that a not-so-good answer. Massfx.
- 31:40Yes. And then and then what you do is
- 31:42you could be like, then you take both sides of that information,
- 31:45go. Alright, he sucked here, but his
- 31:48ideas here here and here are okay and they're actually
- 31:52working today with his mind State, you know what I mean?
- 31:55Like, not everything that everyone have some good ideas,
- 31:58and be fucking evil and wicked. Absolutely, and to me, that's
- 32:02what he was. Yes, you know what I mean?
- 32:05Because his his mom called him, the devil incarnate.
- 32:08Yeah. She said he was an evil Wicked
- 32:11Child. Yeah.
- 32:12What the fuck is that? But his so, our kids ideas of
- 32:15self-belief, I think are very good for people as well.
- 32:18So like if you don't have a higher power or deity believing
- 32:21in thyself is just as important as it was, putting it all in and
- 32:25soft Firepower. Exactly.
- 32:28Yeah. Exactly.
- 32:28I believe in them. Yeah.
- 32:29I mean evil Wicked motherfuckers can have some knowledge.
- 32:34Yes. I agree with that.
- 32:38Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, me as well and say I hate
- 32:42people. I mean hate your characteristics
- 32:44over the shit that you've shown. I could find call.
- 32:46I could find good qualities and just about anybody just about I
- 32:51mean there's some people get to know you.
- 32:52Yeah. There's some people just like
- 32:54yeah, fuck that this. Yeah I don't know that
- 32:56motherfucker to say I hate him. I don't like what he just did
- 32:59and what I just seen right there.
- 33:01Yeah, I can say that honestly, you know what I mean, but
- 33:03everything I'm not I'm not. Going to judge that because I
- 33:05don't know. You know what?
- 33:06I struggle with. I have too much empathy so I can
- 33:09watch someone do something really horrible and then I
- 33:11immediately go. Well what did that person go
- 33:13through to get to the point to do that, right?
- 33:16And and and and could could have could a conversation or just
- 33:21maybe a hug or some love. Could have prevented it 30 years
- 33:24ago to make not him to personally is right now I get
- 33:27caught up in that and then I and then I justify people's bad
- 33:30behavior sometimes. Okay, because I my empathy kicks
- 33:34in, I right? Empathy.
- 33:36I feel you? Yeah, that's weird.
- 33:39It's a weird. It's a weird take.
- 33:40I don't know. I don't know where that just
- 33:41when you have four people. I had seen the good in the
- 33:44person and try soap and that. There's good.
- 33:46There's I try so hard. I put a lot of faith in people.
- 33:49Yeah, I mean, but I'm like Batman, man.
- 33:52I feel like people are will do the right thing eventually
- 33:55that's what's up, you know, I mean, what's up?
- 33:57I believe they will too, bro. You know me some people's path
- 34:00is different than other. Some people haven't been shown
- 34:03proper shit. Like my mom told me.
- 34:05I was like I called the one day I was like your mom's you lied.
- 34:08She's like what you talking about?
- 34:10I was like, yo, you told me if I treat people how I want to be
- 34:13treated You know, they made it would be reciprocated.
- 34:16I was like, but that's not true. It's not reciprocated all the
- 34:20time. She was like that's because I
- 34:22didn't raise them. I raised you.
- 34:25Oh, Mom's spit it right there. I was like shit.
- 34:31Okay. Thanks Mom.
- 34:32You know that mean but that shit was dope bro.
