• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I've been wanting to make records there since I was young,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and I think Korea it was like more of an
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: evolved learned love if you will.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Korea is such an interesting market because like the
• 2:25

  Speaker 2: I'm excited. I mean, I'm more juiced up for the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: live band. We can't afford it obviously for these like
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: one offs, right, but we're putting together like a four
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: piece for the fall, doing two palladiums in LA, So
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you better pull up.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's big, that's dope, that's huge. Yeah. I don't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know anybody who's done back to back palladium shows really.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Usually it's like a one off. Nipsey did one, Roddy
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: did one. I think Blast might have did too.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: He might have blue the first one out and then
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the second one.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Was it might have been like, shit, we need to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: do another one.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Far Look we did. We saw that palladium in twenty
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: twenty three. Yeah, but as you know, like the jump
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: from Palladium so like and the Greek's not the right
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: venue for us.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like the Palladium, like like you said,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the next jump up is like is it Hollywood Bowl?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Is it Staple Staples? Yeah? Yeah, which is it?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You know, that'd be a dream for sure. Being an
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: LA native, I refuse to call it crypto, but yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I wonder how long they're going to go with the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: crypt I guess as long as crypto. I always thought
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I thought Crypto was dying and then you know, they
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: popped back up this last you know, six months. Yo.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So how how did you and you know your your
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your member in this group meet because I know you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: as a rapper from back in the day, the blog era. Yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like I might have found you on Too
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Dope probably boys. Yeah, I don't even know if you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: were on two Dope bois yet honestly, maybe really, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: don't know. I think you might have reached out me
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: on Twitter or something. I don't know. Yeah, you had
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a song Spiderweb Spider Webs, which was like a no
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: doubt flip cold Play cold Play flip. Okay, okay, okay,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: yeah shit you got a good memory. Yeah, it's a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: long time ago, but uh, you know, obviously you've had
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a long journey throughout the music industry. You also were
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: doing some behind the scenes stuff. Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So I signed a bad production deal, and like, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: don't want to say bad production deal because the people
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: were genuinely good people, but we wanted different things and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and they were kind of at the cusp of like
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the old guard needing radio so on and so forth.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I opened up for people like dot Q, most Deaf.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I got some really good slots before we signed that
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: like that deal, and you know, for better or for worse,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it didn't work out. But I got to learn how
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to do everything else, Like, oh shit, okay, if they're
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: not going to send my records to radio, let me
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: hit the people that are putting young artists on.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Let me hit people like Eske and Nation and not
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: right man, Yes, sir, you know, so yeah, long, what
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: was your question I was saying, I don't think. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: think I was kind of just laying out your your history.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You had a long history because you went from being
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: an artist and then you were then you started doing
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of behind the scenes shit too.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yep, executive producing A and r Ing. I got to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: learn a lot, and I think one of the main
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: things I learned is like that fire to make my
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: own stuff was never going to be you know, quenched
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Right helping other artists to being behind the scenes. Yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it's like yea, you you're an artist, so you have
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a niche.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You kept making shit right, you know. So even though,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: like all due respect to Zoo, took a lot today,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Dante is one of my best friends, the creator of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the and the producer, one of the one half of
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the group. He actually helped produce on a rengie what Energi?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we we had a good run over at
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the Mind of Virginia's camp that was like twenty fifteen
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to twenty eighteen, and then I got back in my like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you know, my own bag, my own artist.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Shit, what is uh? I guess the the genesis of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this group? When do you guys decide to do this?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Because it is initially you guys were very like secretive
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: about your identities. I feel like, yeah, it was very
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: much like what is this emotional oranges? Shit? What the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: fuck is in the most orange? No?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And at the end of twenty fifteen, I started making
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: demos for EO, and it was basically the entire my
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: whole singing bag, like the funkier R and B productions
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I kind of separated from, like all the AZAD stuff
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: was Okay, I'm rapping, rapping, struggle rapping, whatever it was.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And then the stuff that was more melodic became EO.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And from twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen, I made like
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: thirty or forty ideas. Me and my boy Will, my roommate,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and my best friend was dating Valley, and so Valley's
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the other half of Emotional Oranges, and she was signed
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: to I think Benji at Rostrom. Okay, so she had
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: done shit with like Mac and Wiz and everything like that,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: but I think they were trying to maybe turn her
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: into more of kind of that pop direction, right, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: we really just vibed, Like we wrote our first record
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: together in thirty minutes. She had kind of heard like
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the work that I'd made for EO, and and we
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: put out Volume one together. So if she jumped on
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the first song we put out, motion wasn't featuring her,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and then everything after that we did together. So yeah,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I mean it's been an honor, like she's like the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: perfect yin to my yang, I'm more kind of calm
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: collected on stage.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: She's really an incredible performer.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I would say, I'm, you know, my
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: strong suit is more like in the studio, the creative shit.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what would you because because the vibe of emotional
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Oranges is so like I would say, unique compared to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like a lot of other stuff in the marketplace, how
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: would you guys describe I guess the the concoction of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: genres that is emotional oranges. It's good question, keV.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I would say, like my my north Stars would be
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: like Shahda Gorillas and Daft Punk. Okay, Like in terms
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of the R and B shit, I love Basement Era,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you know, Devonte Swing. And then the three females tone
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: wise that I love were like Janet, Aliyah and Uh
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and obviously Shade. So finding that sultry, you know, elegant
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: gentle voice was always like my that's what I gravitate too, Right,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: So I think meeting Valley has been like the perfect concoction.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: For sure. It's like a great marriage of science. You
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: obviously you were able to kind of go through like
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: as much of like an industry boot camp as you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: could to prepare yourself. I guess maybe without knowing for
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this emotional Orange ad venture. What was it about what
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you guys did from just the artist to consumer, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: relationship that resulted in the success you had with connecting
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: with fans in a way that you weren't able to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: do maybe as a odd right.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Right, Nah, that's a great question. I think you know
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you get what you give, and I think I learned
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that the hard way. On all the Azad stuff, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: didn't really I wasn't self aware. I couldn't like step
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: out of myself and look at it like a project, right,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Everything was so personal, and I think with EO, I'm like,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'm working on a project and so I'm able to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: look at it like I'm making shit that I love,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, like what I
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: want to wear that, what I want to use that
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: candle at the crib? Is this vinyl something that when
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I step into a shop that I'd want to cop
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and not just put so much of myself into it
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: in the sense of like that I can't step away
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and view it from the outside in. That was my
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: biggest issue.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: As an artist, right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I felt like I was I was doing a lot
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Just for myself selfishly and not thinking about the fans
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: experience or like the consumer.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You know, when you're young and dumb. I did all
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: my raps when I was like in my early twenties, right,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And when I made EO, one of the main goals
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I had was like, I want people our age, but
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: then like you know, nineteen twenty year olds and then shit,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: my mom, I want my mom to come enjoy a gig.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Right. So were you guys like very was it purposeful
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to kind of be as mysterious as possible initially? Yeah?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I think your anonymity is your protection, right. I think,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: like because there was like this era where it was
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: like the weekend was like super mysterious, and then I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: remember twenty four hours for a sec.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Nor yeah, and then everyone was like wait a minute,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: we yeah he was that's Royce rizy. But do you like, like,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: what was the thought process with that? Because it's people
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: might think it would be harder to connect with fans
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: not necessarily having like a a face to connect with
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the music, you know what I mean?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, but I feel like textures. I feel like
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the world that we built with Brando.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. It feels like you guys
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: built like a universe.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And to be honest with you, people ask, oh, how
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: did you pop off in Asia? Like like that wasn't intentional,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Like because we weren't showing ourselves. Everyone could see themselves
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: in us to some extent. And I think the stories
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: we were telling it is like we're not out here
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: making like music is detrimental to people's lives. It's all
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: rooted in love. And that was the other thing. I
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: think having the experience of like taking some l's as
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a solo artist, I was able to look back and go,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure that age is well too,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: because you have you had that luxury now, right, Like
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I put out my first EO project when I was
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: twenty nine, right, I just turned thirty six, right, So
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I've been in it, you know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So it's been a journey.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: It's been a journey. And yeah, damn aging myself up here.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It happens, it happens. We're all a we're getting there ready.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It's nice, it's nice, it's fine. What what do you
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: remember when you felt like the the rubber was hitting
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the road in terms of you guys, like there was
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: real traction where you're like, oh, this, this idea, this
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that this, because it's a risk, it's a bro.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We had four songs out, We put up a tour.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Everything blew out.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: L Ray in La.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I remember there's people coming to the L Ray show
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and they actually the best moment ever. Darkest who did
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: our JV he was the chairman of Island, came to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the Bowery Ballroom in New York and he was like, did.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You guys pay people to come? That?
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Shit was blown out? We have four songs out, seven
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty people singing every word. Wow, And there
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: was like SoundCloud leaks and shit like that. Obviously, But
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: our tape came out in twenty nineteen in May. First
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: one second one came out in like November or December.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: We had Coach Hella the following year. Crazy, so that when.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: That's like that happens, do you feel that happening?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: The answer to your question is live the moment that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: we played those like Toronto, London, La San France, Chicago,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: like when I saw people in real life, not just
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the internet shit like commenting right and not just comingto
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the show, like knowing the cut cut, the song that
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: we didn't.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Put out a single, like the random album cut.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: They were buying every piece of merch. I was like,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: this is some six shit.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Like this is different. This is different. Yeah, this is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: not what I was used to. On the wrap side,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I had to feel good though it felt good. It's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like feels good yeah, Like I mean, dude, I feel
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: like if any artist like gets to the point where
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they can sell out any show, let alone the Palladium,
• 14:13

  Speaker 2: is Juice Volume three, that's still Emo. Look at the
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: double sided joint.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: That's the back is dope. So you were able to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: put these out independently. Yeah, so shout out to Tune.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Shout out to tunjy Man, great guy, that's my brother.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Because you guys had signed with him.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: We had signed with darkas at Island and then when
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Tungji came into death Jam he so graciously moved us
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: over right, and then we just had to think and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: we were like, you know what, I think at this point,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: it makes sense for us to try this thing indy
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and just like follow my sword type shit, because if
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: we're gonna fail, I want to do it on my
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: dime and not on somebody else's. Right, and some of
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the things that we wanted were I don't fault people
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: for not seeing it exactly how you see it, right.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about Tunge, I'm saying in general.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: In general for sure. Yeah.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: So if you want to spend, you know, if you
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: want to lose one hundred and fifty grand on tour
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: every tour, azad go do it yourself. Don't rely on
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: somebody else to.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So you guys were like TUNGI released the old
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: stuff to you guys to be able to drop vinyls
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: No, so that we can do. But Tunge and the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Trees kind of allowed us to take the music we
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: were working on that we were gonna put out through
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: them and.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Just take run with it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: That's that's big, yeah, because that's huge.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: A lot of times, you know, I got a couple
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: of friends who are on Atlantic and then they just
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: left and they're like, yeah, anything Atlantic paid for they need,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it's theirs or they need it. Yeah, which makes sense yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you know legally. Yeah. I mean if they paid for
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it and it's recorded at you know, Atlantic Studios, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: they pay for the track, they pay for the producers
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and mixing, Yeah for sure.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: So for us to have these long story short big
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: shot out to Tunji LaTrece Maria.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Really amazing people. What are the things you've been able
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to kind of learn from your previous experiences working with
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: like an independent label from behind the scenes and apply
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it to this group and your guys' uh, you know
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: indie journey so far. That's a great question.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: It takes a village. Yeah, And I think, like I said,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: looking back on the solo shit I did, I didn't
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: realize how many people it took so incentivizing. You know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: my manager Brittany, making her a proper partner as opposed
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to like some commission bullshit. We own the label together.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: My best friend brand On, my art director. He has equity.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: The producers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: The two main producers I work with Child and then
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Dante from they working on other projects with them, you know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: our label at this point, I think in twenty twenty
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: five we're going to help make twenty artists over one
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: hundred grand a year.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: So the fact that we've been able to build these
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: two labels and provide for other people and lift their
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: you know shit up, it's been able to help lift
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: our at ours at the same time. So like Dominique Xavier,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: who's going to be playing keys and synth base in
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: our band. We put out his solo classical record which
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: is going crazy right now.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And he's you know, Prince picked him out from Obscurity.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Buddha who's playing bass on our tour, we're doing and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: be an experimental record with him right now.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I think what.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I've learned is how do you Yeah, it's just like
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: give and take shit, bro, it's regular fucking real life friendship.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah too. And I feel like, you know, like as
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: an independent artist, you have to kind of make sure
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: every rock is lifted in terms of like how to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: figure out how to monetize the music because there's like
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: streaming is people get so caught up in like obviously
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: your guys are stuff streams like crazy, but people get streams,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: all right, but you guys do well. We do well. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: but you know, like a lot of artists are very
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: like so wrapped up in gung ho on like playlisting
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and nah. And it's like, dude, like it like, if
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: your eye is on that ball, you're not going to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: develop everything that really matters. And that's like your relationship
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: with fans, like getting good at live, yeah, and your
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: live shows.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I think too many artists are ass live and I
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: think that's something that like, you can boast all you
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: want about tickets, but if people come and they see
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: some booboo, they're never coming back.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I just saw a show from one of my favorite
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: rappers who's new. He sold out the Palladium a few
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: weeks ago.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Oh shit, hey, don't put him out a much.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Gonna be a part of this. His live show was
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: not very well. It was not very good. It was
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: very amateur. Yeah. I was so dissent because I love
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: this guy's music. I bought a shirt but Vinyl, you know, damn.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's heartbreaking. Yeah it was. It was disappointing. But
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: he also said on stage, I'm not really good at
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: this performing ship. So I think he knows he's not good,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: but he's trying. Sure. Okay.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Look I think for me, yes, I'm really lucky. Valley
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: in my group is incredible live, and I've like understood
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: how to play my position. I'm more of a role
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: player live, right, and I think understanding.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: You bring the con vibes. Yeah, I got auld.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Two step, you know, I can.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Juice you know. But I think it's just like you're
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: not singing over your lyrics. It's like if you three
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: in press play and then like stood on stage for
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: like half your verse while it just plays.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Is that what he did?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And I was like damn.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I was like that's terrible.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, we don't.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: We don't do the back in track. Bullshit, you better like.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It was got to come correct. There's another like I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: could say this because it's obvious. Are we good turn
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: turn it this way? Yeah? And then there's like the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: live show thing is like so crazy because that works
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: for some people. Because I saw Playboy Cardi multiple times
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: recently and he doesn't perform. You show all your emotion
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: on your face. No, he doesn't perform. The song just
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: plays okay, and he's just going shit. But like there's
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: there's fire being lit lit off everywhere.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: He's a boutleg Kev's opinion and he no, no, no,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's it works for him.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: It's just something about him being there.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And like, I don't know if I want you to
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: come to our show like a playboy.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: CARDI shows like an insane it's like an insane listening party.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: It's it's just.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Let's let's switch the subject. He was actually good live.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Who you good? I know this is like she's huge,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: but I think Doja Cat is. Oh, she's incredible, a
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: fucking alien live, incredible. I saw her. I'm not really
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: into like pop music. I think she's an amazing MC,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: but obviously she's pop, but I had to go see
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: her tour.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, you're not gonna just grace over like that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: She's an incredible MC. She's pop because she's popular.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she also is like she kind of got
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: into the like juice like a Juicy with Tiger and
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: all those records. There are more pop records where she
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: was doing more singing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: But I know you're a radio I know you're a
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: radio guy.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: No, No, I think I think we need to talk about elite. Elite.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: What is what is our genre to you?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I think it is uh yeah, I feel like no, no,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like y'all genre is very like That's why
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I said it earlier. It's like it's it's unique. I
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: don't know it's a. It's a it's a culmination of
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a lot. Okay, it's kind of it feels like like
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: like when you said you create your own world. That's
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: what it feels like too with the music. Okay, Like
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Being kind, but like I really want to be honest.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I want like a black and white answer because I'll
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: be honest. I think a lot of the playlist ship,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of radio ship the same conversation is happening,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: which is like, but it's not R and B.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: But it's not. To me, it's very it's very R
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and B esque.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: It has soulful cores, it's knocking drums. I think it's
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: R and B has funky bass.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's to me when I listen to your ship,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: it's R and B. Okay, it's it's it's R and B.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, we're gonna clip this up and send
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: It's all the programmers that are like it's a.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Little too po for me, well, they're all full of ship. Yeah.

• 31:15
  Speaker 1: remember when I connected that you were in the group,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: but I think I might have hit you. You did hit me,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't like I didn't know Rory was managing
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you guys till wait later. So I didn't realize that
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Rory was a part of your guys' team until after
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I already had heard of you guys, and I think
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: someone I think maybe the label serviced the record. Really
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: think it's a label, okay, And and somehow I figured out.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, I think maybe you had
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: posted it on my Instagram song yeah, And I was like,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: oh oh shit, what I think that's what happened. How
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: did you guys link with Rory? I DM?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: He wants to say he heard it himself, but I
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: DM Rory the record and and we ended up linking
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: in person. He still didn't know it was me. He
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: thought I was just like, he's like the label or something. Yeah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: And then I think when he found out and he
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: just like fucked with the whole team. He was like, Yo,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I'm downe to help. However, at the time him and
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Maul were still fucking with Joe right, and we also
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: talked about like how I could be helpful for him
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: because he had the concept for the album at the
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: time for his project.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: His project is Dope Too, and he's working on another
• 32:20

• 32:45
  Speaker 2: shameless play.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I gotta do it.

  Speaker 2: Every city we tore in, I check out the three
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: best coffee shops and I'll go with somebody from the city.

  Speaker 1: Let's do it. What makes good coffee?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I think it depends on what you like. For me,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: my drink is the extra hot oat flat white. And
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I used to be a barista and people like to
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: tell me, don't burn the milk.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Don't. I wanted to.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I wanted to sit right in my gut if I
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: haven't taken a shit yet. I want that coffee to
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: kind of activate like a laxative. Oh yeah it does, right, yes,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: So for me, I like it like one fifty five,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: just get cut right through. Temperature is one thing, So temperature,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Say the bean.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: For me, it's like I prefer a lighter roast personally,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: like a Colombian will be ideal.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. I enjoy shitty coffee, like I can go to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: seven eleven and make a coffee that I fucking love
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: your filth. You put a whole bunch of creamer and shit.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no. I could drink it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I could drink the Brazilian at seven eleven by itself
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: black if I'm full, fully out you know, but uh,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: ketode out. But I also love I like to go
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to a diner and when they just keep filling the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: cup up, you like that, just that cheap, just that,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and then nah, that's so good now, is it? Nah?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's coffee snobs though this is a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: real thing.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I would say I'm definitely snob ish, yeah, ish, because
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: like I fuck with Starbucks.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: No, you don't. I mean I don't. I don't. I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: don't want to go. I'm not doing this, by the way,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: By the way, by the way, I don't fuck with
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Starbucks because we don't align on some things. You know
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. With that being said, in general,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: as a consumer in my life, I've enjoyed some Starbucks.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: How many cups of coffee do you have a day?
