- 0:57Speaker 5: know how to navigate it like when you first get there.
- 1:02Speaker 5: So it took me some time to like really enjoy
- 1:06Speaker 5: my moment, be grateful for my talent, and just celebrate myself.
- 1:12Speaker 3: So mentally I wasn't there.
- 1:14Speaker 5: That's why with Dennis Project Thennis Daughter Project, I was
- 1:18Speaker 5: so vulnerable because I started thinking about what happened before
- 1:24Speaker 5: my moment and I couldn't tap in.
- 1:27Speaker 3: But now I'm like, I bet I got it, Like
- 1:30Speaker 3: I'm sure.
- 1:31Speaker 1: So you didn't enjoy the moment of your your when
- 1:33Speaker 1: when you released your first.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Album, No No, And I just sitting there pretending like
- 1:38Speaker 3: I remember the last time I was with you. I
- 1:40Speaker 3: was like, I'm good now.
- 1:41Speaker 5: No, I was not. I was just trying to I
- 1:43Speaker 5: was trying to trick myself into thinking that I was okay.
- 1:46Speaker 3: But I wasn't.
- 1:47Speaker 5: I tell you talk about and when I heard you
- 1:49Speaker 5: say this, so I was like I felt it. It
- 1:51Speaker 5: resonated with me. You were talking about how that feeling
- 1:55Speaker 5: but also feeling like wait, is this really happening? Am
- 1:57Speaker 5: I supposed to be here? Is it all gonna be
- 1:58Speaker 5: going tomorrow? Like yeah, like it was freaking you out,
- 2:01Speaker 5: like you didn't know what one day after the other
- 2:03Speaker 5: was going, Yes, that's exactly how it was feeling, And
- 2:06Speaker 5: then you don't know what that feeling is. Like you
- 2:09Speaker 5: know you're feeling something, but you want how to explain it,
- 2:11Speaker 5: and you don't want people to look at you like
- 2:12Speaker 5: you crazy, but you know you going through something. And
- 2:16Speaker 5: then I don't vent to everybody about things like I'm
- 2:18Speaker 5: not that person that'd be.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Like, I'm going through this and I'm sad.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Nah, you could be sensitive, So you could be sensitive, Lola,
- 2:27Speaker 2: I mean I guess.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I guess I like that though, because you know you
- 2:31Speaker 1: rap with such a big voice, that big Brooklyn energy.
- 2:34Speaker 1: But what's something in your life you still feel small about,
- 2:37Speaker 1: like something you scared them you're still working on? Is
- 2:40Speaker 1: that confidence?
- 2:42Speaker 3: My confidence is there.
- 2:43Speaker 5: It's not about having a confidence, it's about being confident
- 2:47Speaker 5: enough to not care to show my confidence because you
- 2:51Speaker 5: think about other people before yourself, Like I think about
- 2:53Speaker 5: stepping on people toes before I'm.
- 2:56Speaker 3: One hundred percent me, and you shouldn't do that because
- 2:59Speaker 3: that means you holding back. So that's what it be.
- 3:02Speaker 3: It's like, I know I can do this, I know
- 3:04Speaker 3: I can do that, but then with this.
- 3:05Speaker 5: Person feel away, if I start feeling myself a little
- 3:09Speaker 5: bit more, and it's like, so what right exactly?
- 3:12Speaker 1: You should?
- 3:13Speaker 2: But I was gonna ask, what with this project?
- 3:15Speaker 4: Do you ever chase?
- 3:16Speaker 2: Try to chase the first project? Because you had successful records,
- 3:19Speaker 2: big records, You ever say I gotta stay on top?
- 3:22Speaker 1: Does that bring you the pressure?
- 3:24Speaker 6: No?
- 3:24Speaker 3: See, the pressure was doing the last project.
- 3:28Speaker 5: This time around it's like, no, I'm having fun, Like
- 3:31Speaker 5: I gotta remember that I'm rapping because I enjoy doing it,
- 3:35Speaker 5: so no pressure, Like.
- 3:36Speaker 1: People underestimate you because of your size.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I'd be rapping, like I'm six foot two.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I've never seen nobody have a security guard that has.
- 3:46Speaker 1: To put you.
- 3:47Speaker 2: He puts you, he puts you on his shoulders to
- 3:49Speaker 2: get you in and out of spot. Like that is
- 3:51Speaker 2: the craziest thing I've ever seen.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'd be like, we.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Do you like pooling people wrong?
- 3:58Speaker 3: I used to like proving.
- 3:59Speaker 5: People wrong, but not no more because I realized that
- 4:02Speaker 5: that's a dead end. Like you, you can't waste your
- 4:05Speaker 5: time trying to prove people wrong. You gotta prove yourself
- 4:07Speaker 5: right on this project, I bet from the first song,
- 4:11Speaker 5: what's up with it? It seems like it's like a
- 4:12Speaker 5: temperature check, So that's not proving people wrong. What temperature
- 4:15Speaker 5: are you checking? Because it seems like you're like, oh,
- 4:17Speaker 5: y'all was looking for me.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I'm here. I was checking everybody body temperature, like because
- 4:23Speaker 3: my body.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Check everybody body temperature because it's like my body different,
- 4:30Speaker 5: Like I'm all body over here, Like, what's up with
- 4:32Speaker 5: it like this ain't no play play.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I'm for real, So let's get into it.
- 4:39Speaker 5: What do you feel like has been like the biggest uh?
- 4:41Speaker 5: I guess things that have been thrown that you're from opposition,
- 4:44Speaker 5: that you felt like you had to let people know. Like,
- 4:46Speaker 5: I'm not worried about I see it, but I'm not
- 4:47Speaker 5: worried about y'all because's kind of what that song gives me.
- 4:49Speaker 5: It's like you were dressing some things or.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Being a female artist in the rap business. I feel
- 4:57Speaker 3: like they put so much pressure on you.
- 5:02Speaker 5: It's like unnecessary pressure and then you'll get tricked, like
- 5:06Speaker 5: you get tricked out your spot.
- 5:08Speaker 3: So I'm like, basically, I'm saying, you can trick me
- 5:11Speaker 3: out my spot? What's so with it?
- 5:12Speaker 2: Chat saying picture ship?
- 5:14Speaker 3: Oh, the chat, all the pooviies. You not really got nothing,
- 5:17Speaker 3: but it's looking good?
- 5:18Speaker 4: Why not?
- 5:20Speaker 3: But yeah, they give you unnecessary I'm good now, Yeah, the.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Good it's.
- 5:28Speaker 1: All on display.
- 5:29Speaker 3: No, yeah, I just think they saw the top of
- 5:33Speaker 3: your broa. It was the top.
- 5:34Speaker 4: It's new.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It's just you know, the chat disrespect. Don't look at
- 5:38Speaker 1: the chat when nigga like ship.
- 5:40Speaker 3: We like it, but you know they put they put
- 5:46Speaker 3: unnecessary pressure on you.
- 5:48Speaker 5: So it's like at a point, yeah, I did feel
- 5:50Speaker 5: like my back was against the wall, and I'm like, no,
- 5:53Speaker 5: I'm not going out like that, So what's up with it?
- 5:55Speaker 1: What's something about the rap game that's that's way nasty
- 5:57Speaker 1: than you expected it.
- 6:03Speaker 3: It's really a game you gotta play and you gotta
- 6:05Speaker 3: learn to play it.
- 6:06Speaker 5: It's like everybody is not your friend for sure, and
- 6:09Speaker 5: this is a business and if you do a create
- 6:13Speaker 5: some friends along the way, it's a great thing.
- 6:16Speaker 3: But keep it to a minimum.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard on the album you was talking about
- 6:20Speaker 1: people that was fronting on you, but you gave a
- 6:21Speaker 1: Boogie a lot of props.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Yes, I did.
- 6:24Speaker 5: Yeah, because he took me on my first tool and
- 6:26Speaker 5: he set me up clean, like my set was on
- 6:29Speaker 5: his set in the middle of his set, so the
- 6:32Speaker 5: crowd is already warmped up.
- 6:34Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. And then I come in
- 6:36Speaker 3: and then I'm like, ah, y'all ready for boogie again,
- 6:38Speaker 3: and they're like, yeah, so he set me up right?
- 6:43Speaker 5: Can you talk about how because so it's a buggie.
- 6:45Speaker 5: I remember I came and saw you a while ago.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Future was at the Barclay and they loved you there,
- 6:49Speaker 5: and they gave me so much love there. How impactful
- 6:52Speaker 5: and important was it for people like that that wrap
- 6:54Speaker 5: their arms around you but do it in a very
- 6:55Speaker 5: authentic way that gave you the best platform, put you
- 6:59Speaker 5: in the right place on the ses and things like that.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Yeah, it just it.
- 7:04Speaker 5: It allowed people to accept me more a little more faster.
- 7:08Speaker 5: But it wasn't forced. It was just like, dang, why
- 7:11Speaker 5: we ain't see this girl before?
- 7:12Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 7:13Speaker 2: So do people ever say that you to New York.

- 7:33Speaker 1: You are new York. I was saying, this morning new York.
- 7:36Speaker 1: But I was like, yeah, it would be ill. She
- 7:38Speaker 1: was almost like Dmxico on some type I love because
- 7:42Speaker 1: of how you look aesthetically. She kind of is though.
- 7:46Speaker 3: The videos that's kind of me. I was going to
- 7:50Speaker 3: put on some times, but I was gonna put on
- 7:53Speaker 3: the hills.
- 7:54Speaker 5: I was, but I was like all right, girl packed
- 7:56Speaker 5: the butters up like, but I'm very much influenced by

- 8:03Speaker 5: and oh it give It, Give It, give Norri too,
- 8:07Speaker 5: and it's very New York.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You mentioned people switching up on you too once you

- 8:15Speaker 4: What was it?
- 8:16Speaker 3: It was a lot of people man like, And you
- 8:20Speaker 3: know the thing is for me, it's like.
- 8:24Speaker 5: I didn't even pay no much attention to it because
- 8:28Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not a person that's into drama. So
- 8:31Speaker 5: I know when you feed into drama, then you don't
- 8:36Speaker 5: feed into yourself. So yeah, switched up like you know,
- 8:40Speaker 5: but that's what that's what comes with it, you know
- 8:42Speaker 5: what I'm saying. At least that part I kind of
- 8:44Speaker 5: already knew, but it's different when you go through it,
- 8:48Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
- 8:49Speaker 1: And this album, you got a Mary J.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Blige sample, Yes, it's a sample.

- 9:09Speaker 5: I was patient because I knew she was on tour
- 9:11Speaker 5: and I wanted her to.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Do her thing.
- 9:14Speaker 5: And then she get back to me, you know, and
- 9:16Speaker 5: I was just I was waiting. But it's a producer.
- 9:20Speaker 5: His name is es Dot and he'd be on the
- 9:23Speaker 5: road with her, so he you know, he helped out
- 9:26Speaker 5: a lot with that.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Gotcha. Do you feel like female rappers get boxed into
- 9:30Speaker 1: things like they want you to either be sexy or
- 9:32Speaker 1: gangs to just.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Do club records, Like they don't know what they want
- 9:35Speaker 3: us to do.
- 9:38Speaker 5: You gotta know what you want to do because it's
- 9:40Speaker 5: like whatever you're thinking, that's not what it is. This
- 9:43Speaker 5: is whatever I'm giving you is what you get. You

- 11:38Speaker 5: I think I love that for you because I feel
- 11:40Speaker 5: like when that record hit, and it really hit, it
- 11:42Speaker 5: was at a time where people were trying to figure
- 11:44Speaker 5: out if you would be able to do everything you did,
- 11:47Speaker 5: but you don't.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Play with it and do it again, and you did
- 11:49Speaker 3: it bigger. I'll slap y'all. I can't believe this. I
- 11:52Speaker 3: call my mom's.
- 11:56Speaker 4: Yo.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Oh man.
- 11:57Speaker 5: Yeah, because listen, people was doubted me before I got
- 12:01Speaker 5: my first one, Like they was doubting me all around
- 12:05Speaker 5: the board. And then it's like, sheesh, I gotta do
- 12:09Speaker 5: it again. Yeah, okay, cool, and then you do it again.
- 12:12Speaker 5: But you know, you still get slept on. You know
- 12:15Speaker 5: what I'm saying. You still get slept on. But it's cool.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Like, if you not strong enough to be in this game,
- 12:22Speaker 3: then the success ain't gonna come.
- 12:25Speaker 2: But talk about what that means for you, right, the
- 12:28Speaker 2: fact that you're selling records, this one is gold.
- 12:32Speaker 3: What does that mean?
- 12:33Speaker 2: Seeing that plaque and all your hard work coming through
- 12:36Speaker 2: with these seals.
- 12:37Speaker 3: It just means that all my dreams are coming true.
- 12:39Speaker 5: And it means that when I was saying to my mom,
- 12:42Speaker 5: like I just feel like I'm somebody in this world,
- 12:44Speaker 5: somebody important that I wasn't tripping, it was true, like
- 12:49Speaker 5: I really felt it. And it just shows that I'm
- 12:53Speaker 5: I'm gonna be able to take up y'all.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Ma, I got you, baby. I continue paying no bills.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Girls, Is your mom your biggest fan? Cause that's the
- 13:00Speaker 2: first thing he said, I need to call my mom.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Yeah, my mom is the reason I resigned for my
- 13:05Speaker 5: job to pursue a music career, so I will always
- 13:10Speaker 5: like have her back because she always had minds.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I know you got a record card. It was all
- 13:14Speaker 1: a dream. And you mentioned that survivor's remorse held you
- 13:17Speaker 1: back from celebrating your win. Are you gonna celebrate this?
- 13:21Speaker 5: Yes, I'm gonna celebrate that. I promise it's a different time.
- 13:24Speaker 5: I'm gonna celebrate that when I promise you that.
- 13:26Speaker 1: So you've reached the place now where you can celebrate.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Those yes, Like I feel like, dang, I should be
- 13:31Speaker 5: happy for myself and I shouldn't feel like because I
- 13:36Speaker 5: done went and found this success that I gotta worry
- 13:39Speaker 5: about where you at in the level of success of
- 13:42Speaker 5: your life. You know what I'm saying, Like yours is
- 13:44Speaker 5: gonna come. I waited for minds. I've been on a
- 13:48Speaker 5: bench for a very long time. I sat on a
- 13:50Speaker 5: bench and I watched the game. Now I'm in a court, like, dang,
- 13:53Speaker 5: can you cheer for me? Let me?
- 13:55Speaker 1: So what were you feeling? Survi was remorse about exactly?
- 13:59Speaker 5: Like just with everything, the littlest things like being able
- 14:02Speaker 5: to pay my bills on time, and I still know
- 14:04Speaker 5: people that that's not able to do. So you know
- 14:06Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Like the littlest things was holding me
- 14:09Speaker 5: back that I felt bad, And it's like, why would
- 14:12Speaker 5: you feel bad when it's your time and you got
- 14:15Speaker 5: to keep going so that these people could be in
- 14:17Speaker 5: your position too.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Right, So, at what point in your success did you
- 14:21Speaker 1: realize it was okay to help yourself first.
- 14:26Speaker 5: When nobody was there when I was going through it
- 14:28Speaker 5: in my room by myself, when I was like I
- 14:30Speaker 5: was depressed and nobody was there. And I'm not saying
- 14:34Speaker 5: that nobody didn't want to be there. I just dealt
- 14:38Speaker 5: with it by myself. But I got through it.
- 14:41Speaker 3: So I'm like, Okay, now you got to start putting
- 14:43Speaker 3: yourself first.
- 14:44Speaker 2: You do know that you got to take care of
- 14:47Speaker 2: yourself and family first because a lot of times that
- 14:49Speaker 2: happens to a lot of people and they take care
- 14:51Speaker 2: of everybody else.
- 14:56Speaker 1: That's right, You do understand that part of it, though, Yes,
- 15:03Speaker 1: what was.
- 15:03Speaker 3: That downpoint depression like caused from us? It one thing?
- 15:06Speaker 3: Was it like a music industry thing? Was it personal life?
- 15:09Speaker 3: It was everything?
- 15:11Speaker 5: It was. It was so much that I couldn't I
- 15:16Speaker 5: couldn't think like I was overthinking like it was clashing.
- 15:20Speaker 5: So that's why again I was telling y'all when I
- 15:23Speaker 5: did Dennis Daughter, I couldn't think about my moment and
- 15:26Speaker 5: what my future was was gonna look like. I kept
- 15:29Speaker 5: thinking about what was going on before. I'm like, oh,
- 15:33Speaker 5: I came so far, but I was just so I
- 15:36Speaker 5: was just still trying to get over trauma.
- 15:39Speaker 2: I want to ask, you know, she mentioned the drill
- 15:41Speaker 2: music before. I feel like New York music is not
- 15:44Speaker 2: flowing like it used to, like that Boom bab that record.
- 15:47Speaker 2: So do you stay focused on that as well as
- 15:49Speaker 2: say I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna be that type
- 15:50Speaker 2: of artist regardless and let it catch up with me.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Or do you say, you know what I'm gonna have to,
- 15:54Speaker 2: you know, transform a little bit and do what other
- 15:56Speaker 2: rappers are doing to make sure I stay relevant.
- 15:58Speaker 5: I've always been like different, so I stay focused on
- 16:02Speaker 5: doing that. And I always say like, I don't want
- 16:04Speaker 5: to be responsible for saving certain parts of the music industry,
- 16:09Speaker 5: Like I don't want to be responsible for that because
- 16:11Speaker 5: that's a lot of pressure.
- 16:12Speaker 3: I don't want. I only deal with pressure that I
- 16:15Speaker 3: know I could deal with.
- 16:17Speaker 5: I feel like your money is a little like it's
- 16:19Speaker 5: still the lowler, high energy, but it got a little
- 16:21Speaker 5: bit of that boom back in it somewhere.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a little bit. I think it's maybe it's
- 16:26Speaker 3: the beat that kind of I told you just gonna
- 16:33Speaker 3: be this one right here.
- 16:34Speaker 5: I only say that because I think your flow in
- 16:36Speaker 5: it is kind of reminds me of the storytelling that
- 16:38Speaker 5: would happen over those type of beats.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like, get money. It's like, what's that with?
- 16:45Speaker 3: You want to push ups?

- 19:06Speaker 1: learn in the process or releasing your first album that
- 19:09Speaker 1: made things easier this time?
- 19:14Speaker 5: Just continue to be yourself, Like, the only way to
- 19:18Speaker 5: sell music is if you being yourself. So when I'm
- 19:21Speaker 5: making music now, I only make songs that I know
- 19:24Speaker 5: I could sell. So after that, everything just be it
- 19:30Speaker 5: be easy, not well, I'm not gonna say it gets
- 19:34Speaker 5: it gets rough sometimes, but it's not as hard as
- 19:36Speaker 5: the last time.
- 19:38Speaker 1: When you're writing, what emotion do you tap into first?
- 19:41Speaker 1: Is it hunger? Is pain? Is it confidence? Or something
- 19:44Speaker 1: else we don't even know about.
- 19:45Speaker 5: It just depends on what the day looking like for me,
- 19:49Speaker 5: like or sometimes I could be going through it with
- 19:53Speaker 5: family or whatever.
- 19:55Speaker 3: But when I get in the studio, I make a
- 19:56Speaker 3: record like Get Money. You know what I'm saying, Like, don't.
- 20:00Speaker 3: I don't make a song dwelling on my feelings of
- 20:04Speaker 3: feeling pain or anything like that. I just be like
- 20:10Speaker 3: I'm in the gym doing push ups on Get Money,
- 20:13Speaker 3: like I'm.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Sure on pain though, right, Pain is about you going
- 20:18Speaker 5: through something but you flip it into like confidence, feel
- 20:22Speaker 5: like stop playing with me, just stop playing with me?
- 20:24Speaker 5: So what inspired the Pain record? Okay, so okay, So
- 20:30Speaker 5: shout out to Mary because she cleared that. But the
- 20:32Speaker 5: Pain Record was basically me saying, I bet you want
- 20:38Speaker 5: to you wanna play with me?
- 20:40Speaker 1: I got you?
- 20:41Speaker 3: Hoh that thought because.
- 20:42Speaker 5: I'm really that girl, like I shouldn't be the girl
- 20:45Speaker 5: that you're playing with. I literally told you.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Not to play with it.
- 20:48Speaker 5: And that's not just to a man either, that could
- 20:51Speaker 5: be for anybody. So if you have some drama in
- 20:54Speaker 5: your life that you want to clean up, you listen
- 20:55Speaker 5: to pain and be like, listen, I'm cleaning house.
- 20:58Speaker 1: But how is your love life Derek and being an artist?
- 21:01Speaker 4: Right?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Because does somebody get it? The fact that you're in
- 21:05Speaker 2: the studio, the fact that you're on the road, the
- 21:06Speaker 2: fact that you can't be there like a normal person
- 21:09Speaker 2: would be.
- 21:09Speaker 3: So get.

- 22:34Speaker 5: not a secret, but it's private. The last time I

- 22:40Speaker 5: was a future concert. Remember I sat down with y'a
- 22:42Speaker 5: at the media room. It was me.

- 22:59Speaker 5: act like I yes, yes, yes, I do, yes, I
- 23:02Speaker 5: do yeah, existence yeah, because I look at it like
- 23:06Speaker 5: this right as a female, when you give life, that's
- 23:11Speaker 5: not something that you put a hold on, like you
- 23:14Speaker 5: playing with God saying. You know what I'm saying, if
- 23:17Speaker 5: you if you have someone that you're in love with
- 23:20Speaker 5: and you sit here and you say no, not right now,
- 23:22Speaker 5: not right now?
- 23:23Speaker 6: What is what?
- 23:24Speaker 3: Why y'all together?
- 23:25Speaker 1: Especially if y'all doing things?
- 23:27Speaker 4: Yeah? Right?
- 23:32Speaker 5: If the head ball rocket, then what's going on?
- 23:37Speaker 1: People that want to get married first, they want the
- 23:38Speaker 1: ring first.
- 23:40Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's cool.
- 23:41Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is to sit there and try
- 23:44Speaker 5: to put a hold on it purposely, like I don't.
- 23:49Speaker 3: I don't believe in that. At first, I used to.
- 23:51Speaker 1: How do you feel about bars? Like your man left
- 23:54Speaker 1: rights on my night stand and still left with no sex.
- 23:57Speaker 5: He loved it because he's like, ooh, you ain't give
- 23:58Speaker 5: it up. Boom, Yeah, he's like, yeah, that's what I'm
- 24:05Speaker 5: talking about. You ain't give it up. You ain't easy.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Get the money back for what?
- 24:13Speaker 1: Economically for what?
- 24:16Speaker 3: He shouldn't have never tried to. He should have never
- 24:18Speaker 3: tried to link me.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Damn, you pay something.
- 24:22Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, I'm stingy, I ain't gonna
- 24:25Speaker 5: for it.
- 24:25Speaker 3: I'm so stinchy, so he's definitely not getting that money back.
- 24:33Speaker 3: It go up and down. I'm not gonna, Frank go
- 24:35Speaker 3: up and down.
- 24:36Speaker 1: How do you think you've involved as an artist since
- 24:38Speaker 1: your last album?
- 24:42Speaker 3: Uh speaking?
- 24:42Speaker 5: Besides like the music as a person, I grew with
- 24:49Speaker 5: just allowing myself to live, you know what I'm saying.
- 24:53Speaker 5: I feel like that's the most important thing because when
- 24:54Speaker 5: I'm I'm doing music because it helps express I I
- 24:57Speaker 5: expressed myself really well when I do it. So now
- 25:01Speaker 5: it's like when you don't hold yourself back, when you
- 25:04Speaker 5: be yourself, when you live in your moments, when you
- 25:07Speaker 5: you be yourself, just that's the best growth that you
- 25:11Speaker 5: could have. And I'm not perfect. I take accountability a lot,
- 25:15Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So when you make mistakes
- 25:18Speaker 5: and you correct them, it's the best thing you need
- 25:20Speaker 5: to do for yourself.
- 25:21Speaker 6: I like.
- 25:22Speaker 4: I like that.
- 25:22Speaker 1: I like I can hear it on records like invest Daughter, Yes,
- 25:27Speaker 1: New York La. Yes, Yes. Yes. Because you say, ask
- 25:30Speaker 1: if I want bags, I said.
- 25:34Speaker 3: When yeah, but and I could.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Go on And because you say you want somebody that
- 25:40Speaker 1: you can build a foundation.
- 25:41Speaker 5: With, Yes, because okay, being financially stable. Of course I
- 25:46Speaker 5: want that in a relationship. But just because a man
- 25:50Speaker 5: got money don't mean he gonna treat you right. You
- 25:53Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Is that the chat keep telling that?
- 26:01Speaker 3: Is it the ch It's sad the chat love it right?
- 26:04Speaker 3: Chat w is in a chat.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Chat for dear life.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Over Yeah, but you know it's you know, I had
- 26:14Speaker 3: the titty I got titty problems. Now that it's that
- 26:19Speaker 3: happy way, it's that happy way.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I want to talk about your team too, because've been
- 26:25Speaker 2: with your team of course we know you know, teammate,
- 26:28Speaker 2: talking about how important your team is to making sure
- 26:31Speaker 2: that you still are still relevant, making sure that all
- 26:32Speaker 2: your business.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Is right too.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Yep, they know they know what I want in life.
- 26:36Speaker 5: And I always say when you meet someone new, like
- 26:40Speaker 5: a friend or a spout, it takes three years for
- 26:44Speaker 5: you to know somebody.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Their true self.
- 26:49Speaker 5: So I feel like, even when I'm not around, my
- 26:53Speaker 5: team see things and they be like, Lola, love this.
- 26:56Speaker 5: And that helps me sleep at night because it's like
- 26:58Speaker 5: I'm not an it by myself, you know what I'm saying.
- 27:00Speaker 5: When I wake up, I know I'm gonna have a
- 27:01Speaker 5: team that's laying stuff out for me and saying here,
- 27:04Speaker 5: just say yes or no.
- 27:06Speaker 3: And that's all I want you. I just want to
- 27:07Speaker 3: say yes or no.
- 27:09Speaker 1: We know, don't they. We're having a guy like sav is, like,
- 27:11Speaker 1: you know, he cares about you as a person.
- 27:13Speaker 5: Yes, that's that's the most important thing, because people do
- 27:16Speaker 5: not be caring about people.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Yo. On the song Investor, what did you learn about
- 27:21Speaker 1: yourself and your values while putting a song like that together?
- 27:25Speaker 5: I realized that money is not everything for me. I
- 27:28Speaker 5: mean I wasn't raised in a household of a lot
- 27:33Speaker 5: of wealth. It was a single parent. So I like
- 27:37Speaker 5: to be loved on and I like to give love
- 27:39Speaker 5: as well. So that's what I learned about myself. Invest
- 27:42Speaker 5: in me spiritually, mentally, physically.
- 27:46Speaker 1: So that's what investing is. Not just financial, it's all
- 27:48Speaker 1: of those.
- 27:49Speaker 5: Things, not just right is everything else the financial thing
- 27:52Speaker 5: that's just to secure everything else.
- 27:54Speaker 3: But we could get that together, Like I'm down, this
- 27:58Speaker 3: makes money, baby, he knows, he knows what's up. Okay, okay, okay, yeah,
- 28:06Speaker 3: we got we we talk about plans and stuff.
- 28:08Speaker 5: You have to have someone where you could build with,
- 28:10Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, So that when you do
- 28:12Speaker 5: have kids, what you gonna tell your kids? Like, you're
- 28:16Speaker 5: just glad you don't feel like you gotta put a
- 28:17Speaker 5: lot of that on hold, because that is a thing
- 28:19Speaker 5: for women in any industry. Like you always feel like, dang,
- 28:22Speaker 5: if I do it too wrong, too soon, too late,
- 28:26Speaker 5: where am I gonna end up?
- 28:27Speaker 3: Where's my career? Yeah? And I think that's unfair. I
- 28:30Speaker 3: really do think that's unfair because it's like, as women,
- 28:33Speaker 3: y'all don't know.
- 28:33Speaker 4: What we deal with.
- 28:34Speaker 3: And once you get like thirty, after thirty four, they say.
- 28:38Speaker 5: Women most likely gonna have a lot of complications with
- 28:42Speaker 5: giving birth and things like that.
- 28:44Speaker 3: They say that. I mean, I don't know how true
- 28:46Speaker 3: it is now, but that used to be. You see
- 28:50Speaker 3: every little stuff like that that's messed up after this,
- 28:52Speaker 3: we could jump him, but you needed to get with him.
- 28:55Speaker 3: It's not envy NB.
- 28:56Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry envy you, but yeah, I feel like
- 29:02Speaker 5: really a thought that you'd be having. It's like, dang,
- 29:04Speaker 5: you worked so hard for this, but at the same time,
- 29:06Speaker 5: you do gotta do this thing over here too.
- 29:08Speaker 3: That's why for me, I say, what do you want
- 29:11Speaker 3: in life? Forget?
- 29:13Speaker 5: What do you want for your career? What do you
- 29:14Speaker 5: want in life? Because your career is gonna support what
- 29:16Speaker 5: you want in life. And I want a family, So
- 29:20Speaker 5: I have a career so that I could support my family.
- 29:23Speaker 5: And whenever I feel like that time coming, I'm going
- 29:27Speaker 5: Was your mindset always like that, though, because I think
- 29:29Speaker 5: that is yes, because that's the difference between understanding that
- 29:32Speaker 5: you're surviving versus understanding you're living. And a lot of
- 29:34Speaker 5: us women who grew up with single parents, all I
- 29:37Speaker 5: knew how to do was survive. I didn't know how
- 29:38Speaker 5: to create family. We were just talking about this family
- 29:40Speaker 5: and stuff like that.
- 29:41Speaker 3: You just know how to survive. You just know how
- 29:43Speaker 3: to work hard. And that's all I say. My moms
- 29:46Speaker 3: do was work hard. So and then they make it
- 29:50Speaker 3: seem as if kids is just gonna make things harder,
- 29:53Speaker 3: and it's like, what's the point of living? Like this
- 29:56Speaker 3: is what we're here for.
- 29:58Speaker 1: I feel like there's people that are shattered them like Cardi.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Yeah, shout out to Carti for sure. Yeah, because she
- 30:03Speaker 3: still went out and did it and she's still doing it.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I recently read that car Trance and she studied you
- 30:11Speaker 1: to tap into her wrapper bag for her new movie.
- 30:13Speaker 5: Yeah, it was Fashion Week out here in New York
- 30:17Speaker 5: and she she just I was like I was thrown
- 30:21Speaker 5: off because we was talking and she was like, yo,
- 30:24Speaker 5: you know I channeled you, and I'm like channel mean
- 30:26Speaker 5: She like, yeah, I got a new role and I
- 30:29Speaker 5: channeled you because you're.
- 30:30Speaker 3: Small, your voice is powerful and I'm small too.
- 30:34Speaker 5: And I was like dazed out, like what me? She
- 30:38Speaker 5: like yeah, girl, like it was so regular for her,
- 30:41Speaker 5: and I'm like, it's not regular for me. Like your
- 30:43Speaker 5: actress telling me this.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Like that you feel like you haven't real impact.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like, girl, keep going, keep going, don't stop,
- 30:53Speaker 5: because yeah, sometimes you you can't get to see out
- 30:57Speaker 5: looking in, you just in looking out, So sometimes you
- 31:00Speaker 5: don't feel your impact. Somebody got to tell you sometimes too,
- 31:03Speaker 5: you know, because you're so busy working, do.
- 31:06Speaker 1: You still haven't pop syndrome or do you feel like nah.
- 31:09Speaker 3: No, I'm here, God is my witness. I'm here.
- 31:14Speaker 5: I'm not holding back no more, because it's like holding
- 31:17Speaker 5: back is saying I'm stepping on someone else's toes. That's
- 31:21Speaker 5: not my intentions. And if that was my first intentions,
- 31:25Speaker 5: then that means that yeah, you you tripping, but that's
- 31:29Speaker 5: not my intentions.
- 31:30Speaker 3: To be stepping on. Nobody told I'm just trying to
- 31:32Speaker 3: keep winning so I could support my family and my goals.
- 31:35Speaker 1: You know, when did you first recognize your voice? Like
- 31:38Speaker 1: when did what was? What was the moment you said
- 31:40Speaker 1: something scared yourself.
- 31:43Speaker 3: When I was mad, probably one of my old flings.
- 31:46Speaker 5: They pissed me off, and I was like, oh what hmm.
- 31:51Speaker 5: I can't even tell y'all what I said because it might.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Be a case. I said, I got it in me word,
- 31:59Speaker 3: I got it in you got it?
- 32:00Speaker 1: And then you girl, hm hm, and you took that
- 32:03Speaker 1: right to the booth from there.
- 32:05Speaker 3: Yeah, well uh yeah I did.
- 32:09Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of scared of a little.
- 32:12Speaker 1: But she thought getting to that voice, she'd be like,
- 32:13Speaker 1: oh ship.
- 32:15Speaker 3: So what voice?
- 32:16Speaker 4: I like? Not like.
