- 0:45Speaker 1: It's just my mom wasn't there, Like I wasn't there really?
- 0:49Speaker 4: Why not? What was going on?
- 0:51Speaker 6: Like I said, success, once you get it, you don't
- 0:57Speaker 6: know how to navigate it like when you first get there.
- 1:02Speaker 1: So it took me some time to.
- 1:04Speaker 6: Like really enjoy my moment, be grateful for my talent,
- 1:11Speaker 6: and just celebrate myself.
- 1:12Speaker 1: So mentally I wasn't there.
- 1:14Speaker 6: That's why with Dennis Project Thennis Daughter project, I was
- 1:18Speaker 6: so vulnerable because I started thinking about what happened before
- 1:24Speaker 6: my moment and I couldn't tap in but now I'm like,
- 1:28Speaker 6: I bet I got it, Like I'm sure.
- 1:31Speaker 7: So you didn't enjoy the moment of your your when
- 1:33Speaker 7: when you released your first album, No.
- 1:36Speaker 6: No, And I just sitting there pretending like I remember
- 1:39Speaker 6: the last time I was with you.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I was like, I'm good now. No, I was not.
- 1:42Speaker 6: I was just trying to I was trying to trick
- 1:43Speaker 6: myself into thinking that I was okay, but I wasn't.
- 1:47Speaker 6: I tell you talk about and when I heard you
- 1:49Speaker 6: say this, so I was like, I've felt it. It
- 1:51Speaker 6: resonated with me. You were talking about how that feeling
- 1:55Speaker 6: but also feeling like wait, is this really happening? Am
- 1:57Speaker 6: I supposed to be here? Is it all gonna be
- 1:58Speaker 6: going tomorrow? Like yeah, like it was freaking you out,
- 2:01Speaker 6: like you didn't know what one day after the other
- 2:03Speaker 6: was yes, that's exactly how I was feeling, And then
- 2:07Speaker 6: you don't know what that feeling is. Like you know
- 2:09Speaker 6: you're feeling something, but you want how to explain it,
- 2:11Speaker 6: and you don't want people to look at you like
- 2:12Speaker 6: you crazy, but you know you going through something. And
- 2:16Speaker 6: then I don't vent to everybody about things like I'm
- 2:18Speaker 6: not that person that'd be like I'm going through this
- 2:20Speaker 6: and I'm I'm sad.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Nah, you could be sensitive, So you could be sensitive, Lola,
- 2:27Speaker 3: I mean I guess.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I guess.
- 2:30Speaker 7: I like that though, because you know, you rap with
- 2:32Speaker 7: such a big voice, that big Brooklyn energy. But what's
- 2:34Speaker 7: something in your life you still feel small about, like
- 2:37Speaker 7: something you scared them you're still working on?
- 2:40Speaker 2: Is that confidence?
- 2:42Speaker 1: My confidence is there.
- 2:43Speaker 6: It's not about having a confidence, it's about being confident
- 2:47Speaker 6: enough to not care to show my confidence because you
- 2:51Speaker 6: think about other people before yourself, Like I think about
- 2:53Speaker 6: stepping on people toes before I'm one hundred percent me,
- 2:58Speaker 6: and you shouldn't do that because then that means you
- 3:00Speaker 6: holding back.
- 3:02Speaker 1: So that's what it be. It's like, I know I
- 3:03Speaker 1: can do.
- 3:03Speaker 6: This, I know I can do that, but then with
- 3:05Speaker 6: this person feel away, if I start feeling myself a
- 3:08Speaker 6: little bit more, and it's like, so what right exactly?
- 3:12Speaker 2: You should?
- 3:13Speaker 3: But I was gonna ask, what with this project? Do
- 3:15Speaker 3: you ever chase try to chase the first project? Because
- 3:18Speaker 3: you had successful records, big records, You ever say I
- 3:21Speaker 3: gotta stay on top? Does that bring you the pressure?
- 3:24Speaker 1: No? See, the pressure was doing the last project.
- 3:28Speaker 6: This time around, it's like, no, I'm having fun, Like
- 3:31Speaker 6: I gotta remember that I'm rapping because I enjoy doing it,
- 3:35Speaker 6: so no.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Pressure, Like people underestimate you because of your size.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I'd be rapping, like I'm six foot two.
- 3:43Speaker 3: I've never seen nobody have a security guard that has
- 3:46Speaker 3: to put you.
- 3:47Speaker 4: He puts you, he puts.
- 3:48Speaker 3: You on his shoulders to get you in and out
- 3:50Speaker 3: of spot. Like that is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'd be like, we.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Do you like proving people wrong?
- 3:58Speaker 6: I used to like proving people wrong, but not no
- 4:00Speaker 6: more because I realized that that's a dead end. Like you,
- 4:04Speaker 6: you can't waste your time trying to prove people wrong.
- 4:06Speaker 6: You got to prove yourself right on this project, I
- 4:09Speaker 6: bet from the first song, what's up with it? It
- 4:11Speaker 6: seems like it's like a temperature check, So that's not
- 4:14Speaker 6: proving people wrong. What temperature are you checking? Because it
- 4:16Speaker 6: seems like you're like, oh, y'all was looking for me.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I'm here.
- 4:19Speaker 6: I was checking everybody body temperature, like because my body
- 4:25Speaker 6: check check everybody body temperature because it's like my body different,
- 4:30Speaker 6: Like I'm all body over here, Like, what's up with it?
- 4:33Speaker 6: Like this ain't no play play. I'm for real, So
- 4:37Speaker 6: let's get into it. What do you feel like has
- 4:40Speaker 6: been like the biggest uh? I guess things that have
- 4:42Speaker 6: been thrown that you're from opposition, that you felt like
- 4:44Speaker 6: you had to let people know. Like I'm not worried
- 4:46Speaker 6: about I see it, but I'm not worried about y'all
- 4:48Speaker 6: because that's kind of what that song gives me.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's like you were dressing some things or being a
- 4:54Speaker 1: female artist in the rap business. I feel like they
- 4:59Speaker 1: put so much pressure on you.
- 5:02Speaker 6: It's like unnecessary pressure and then you'll get tricked, like
- 5:06Speaker 6: you get tricked out your spot. So I'm like, basically,
- 5:10Speaker 6: I'm saying, you can trick me out my spot.
- 5:12Speaker 1: What's so with it? The chat saying sir, oh the chat,
- 5:15Speaker 1: Oh the povies? You not really got nothing. But it's
- 5:18Speaker 1: looking good?
- 5:18Speaker 3: Why not?
- 5:20Speaker 1: But yeah, they give you unnecessary I'm good now, yeah, the.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Good it's all on display.
- 5:29Speaker 1: No, yeah it I just think they saw the top
- 5:33Speaker 1: of your bro it's new. It's just you.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Know, the chat disrespect. Don't look at the chat when
- 5:39Speaker 2: nigga like ship, we like.
- 5:40Speaker 6: It, but you know, they put they put unnecessary pressure
- 5:47Speaker 6: on you. So it's like, at a point, yeah, I
- 5:50Speaker 6: did feel like my back was against the wall, and
- 5:52Speaker 6: I'm like, no, I'm not going out like that, So
- 5:54Speaker 6: what's up with it?
- 5:55Speaker 2: What's something about the rap game that's that's way nasty
- 5:57Speaker 2: than you expected it.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It's really a game you gotta play and you gotta
- 6:05Speaker 1: learn to play.
- 6:06Speaker 6: It's like everybody is not your friend for sure, and
- 6:09Speaker 6: this is a business and if you do a create
- 6:13Speaker 6: some friends along the way, it's.
- 6:15Speaker 1: A great thing, but keep it to a minimum.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 7: I heard on the album you was talking about people
- 6:20Speaker 7: that was fronting on you, but you gave a Boogie
- 6:21Speaker 7: a lot of props.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Yes, I did.
- 6:24Speaker 6: Yeah, because he took me on my first tool and
- 6:26Speaker 6: he set me up clean, like my set was on
- 6:29Speaker 6: his set in the middle of his set, so the
- 6:32Speaker 6: crowd is already warmthed up, you know what I'm saying.
- 6:35Speaker 6: And then I come in and then I'm like, ah,
- 6:37Speaker 6: y'all ready for boogie again, and they're like, yeah, so
- 6:41Speaker 6: he set me up right? Can you talk about how
- 6:44Speaker 6: because even so it's a buggie. I remember I came
- 6:46Speaker 6: and saw you a while ago. Future was at the
- 6:48Speaker 6: Barclay and they loved you there, and they gave me
- 6:50Speaker 6: so much love there. How impactful and important was it
- 6:53Speaker 6: for people like that wrap their arms around you but
- 6:55Speaker 6: do it in a very authentic way that gave you
- 6:57Speaker 6: the best platform, puts in the right place on the
- 6:59Speaker 6: shs and things like that.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it.
- 7:04Speaker 6: It allowed people to accept me more a little more faster.
- 7:08Speaker 6: But it wasn't forced. It was just like, dang, why
- 7:11Speaker 6: we ain't see this girl before?
- 7:12Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 7:13Speaker 3: So do people ever say that you to New York
- 7:17Speaker 3: to make you cut New York down a little bit?
- 7:19Speaker 1: Nah? No, If anything, they asked me to be more
- 7:23Speaker 1: new York, Like can can I hear? They'd be like
- 7:26Speaker 1: can I hear your exit? Can I can I hear
- 7:30Speaker 1: some lingos? And I'll be like, I don't just talk
- 7:33Speaker 1: to me.
- 7:33Speaker 2: You are New York. I was saying, this morning new York.
- 7:36Speaker 2: But I was like, yeah, it will be ill.
- 7:38Speaker 7: She was almost like dmxic on some I love because
- 7:42Speaker 7: of how you look athetical.
- 7:43Speaker 4: She kind of is though.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Video that's kind of.
- 7:50Speaker 6: I was going to put on some times, but I
- 7:52Speaker 6: was gonna put on the hills I was, But I
- 7:55Speaker 6: was like, all right, girl packed the butters up like you.
- 7:59Speaker 6: But I'm very much influenced by DMX though. It's a
- 8:01Speaker 6: song called what on a project and oh it give it,
- 8:05Speaker 6: give It, give Norri too, and it's very New York.
- 8:09Speaker 7: You mentioned people switching up on you too once you
- 8:11Speaker 7: got your your first plaque?
- 8:12Speaker 2: Yeah? Was it family? Was it an artist? What was it?
- 8:16Speaker 1: It was a lot of people man like? And you
- 8:20Speaker 1: know the thing is for me, it's like.
- 8:24Speaker 6: I didn't even pay no much attention to it because
- 8:28Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not a person that's into drama. So
- 8:31Speaker 6: I know when you feed into drama, then you don't
- 8:36Speaker 6: feed into yourself. So yeah, switched up like you know,
- 8:40Speaker 6: but that's what that's what comes with it, you know
- 8:42Speaker 6: what I'm saying. At least that part I kind of
- 8:44Speaker 6: already knew, but it's different when you go through it.
- 8:48Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 8:49Speaker 3: On this album, you got a Mary g Blige sample?
- 8:52Speaker 1: Yes? Is that it's a sample?
- 8:55Speaker 5: Sound?
- 8:56Speaker 3: How difficult was it to get to marry to clear that?
- 8:58Speaker 3: Was it difficult?
- 8:59Speaker 1: Okay? No, it wasn't. No, I mean no, was it difficult? No?
- 9:04Speaker 1: I wasn't it. I got to wait, you know, like
- 9:07Speaker 1: you know, I gave.
- 9:09Speaker 6: I was patient because I knew she was on tour
- 9:11Speaker 6: and I wanted her to do her thing.
- 9:14Speaker 1: And then she.
- 9:15Speaker 6: Get back to me, you know, and I was just
- 9:17Speaker 6: I was waiting. But it's a producer. His name is
- 9:21Speaker 6: es Dot and he'd be on the road with her,
- 9:24Speaker 6: so he you know, he helped out a lot with that.
- 9:27Speaker 5: Gotcha.
- 9:28Speaker 7: Do you feel like female rappers get boxed into things
- 9:30Speaker 7: like they want you to either be sexy or gangster
- 9:33Speaker 7: just do club records, like.
- 9:34Speaker 1: They don't know what they want us to do. You
- 9:38Speaker 1: gotta know what you.
- 9:38Speaker 6: Want to do because it's like whatever you're thinking, that's
- 9:42Speaker 6: not what it is.
- 9:43Speaker 1: This is whatever I'm giving you is what you get.
- 9:45Speaker 1: You gotta be confident.
- 9:46Speaker 6: You you have to have way more confidence than the
- 9:49Speaker 6: male artists for sure.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Which land do you think people try to people wrongly
- 9:53Speaker 2: try to put.
- 9:54Speaker 5: You in.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Drill. They tried to but are clean thoup your energy?
- 10:02Speaker 6: But then you came with the briceon Tailler situation, which
- 10:05Speaker 6: I would I love that for you. Many people got
- 10:08Speaker 6: to meet you as an artist because the song was
- 10:10Speaker 6: so big.
- 10:11Speaker 1: But it's the energy of your music that feels like drill. Yeah,
- 10:14Speaker 1: that's what what I'm not going to front yeah, because
- 10:17Speaker 1: I love pop smoke. You know what I'm saying. I
- 10:19Speaker 1: love his energy.
- 10:21Speaker 6: I might I might get on the drill beat, but
- 10:24Speaker 6: I might talk about different things.
- 10:26Speaker 1: But my tempo in my pocket and my energy is
- 10:29Speaker 1: going to be.
- 10:29Speaker 3: High selling records mean a lot to you or do
- 10:34Speaker 3: you just like the music you put out? Because you
- 10:35Speaker 3: just talked about the briceon Tiller bracket, like there's like plaques.
- 10:39Speaker 4: And the fact that you.
- 10:57Speaker 3: On behalf girl, on behalf a team ad and arist
- 11:01Speaker 3: the records. We want to congratulate you on a gold plato.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Oh my god, wow?

- 11:14Speaker 4: What does that mean to you?
- 11:15Speaker 1: This means that as.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Let me see, let me see, let me see if
- 11:23Speaker 2: they switched up on you before they.
- 11:25Speaker 7: Switch up on your wow wow, wow, my god wowing single.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Okay, we should.
- 11:38Speaker 6: You know how I think I love that for you
- 11:39Speaker 6: because I feel like when that record hit, and it
- 11:42Speaker 6: really hit, it was at a time where people were
- 11:43Speaker 6: trying to figure out if you would be able to
- 11:45Speaker 6: do everything you did, but you don't play with it
- 11:48Speaker 6: and do it again, and you did it bigger.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I'll slap y'all.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Can't believe this.
- 11:52Speaker 6: My mom's.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Yo oh man.
- 11:57Speaker 6: Yeah, because listen, people was doubting me before I got
- 12:01Speaker 6: my first one, Like they was doubting me all around
- 12:05Speaker 6: the board.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And then it's like, sheesh.
- 12:08Speaker 6: I gotta do it again. Yeah, okay, cool, and then
- 12:11Speaker 6: you do it again. But you know, you still get
- 12:14Speaker 6: slept on.
- 12:15Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You still get slept on.
- 12:17Speaker 1: But it's cool.
- 12:18Speaker 6: Like, if you not strong enough to be in this game,
- 12:22Speaker 6: then the success ain't gonna come.
- 12:25Speaker 3: But talk about what that means for you, right, the
- 12:28Speaker 3: fact that you're selling records, this one is gold.
- 12:32Speaker 4: What does that mean?
- 12:33Speaker 3: Seeing that plaque and all your hard work coming through
- 12:36Speaker 3: with these sels.
- 12:37Speaker 6: It just means that all my dreams are coming true.
- 12:39Speaker 6: And it means that when I was saying to my mom,
- 12:42Speaker 6: like I just feel like I'm somebody in this world,
- 12:44Speaker 6: somebody important that I.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Wasn't tripping, it was true, like I really felt it.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And it just shows that.
- 12:52Speaker 6: I'm I'm gonna be able to him up y'all, ma,
- 12:55Speaker 6: I got you, baby. I would continue paying no bills.
- 12:58Speaker 5: Girls.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Is your mom your biggest fan? That's the first thing
- 13:00Speaker 3: he said, I need to call my mom.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Yeah, my mom is the reason I resigned for my
- 13:05Speaker 6: job to pursue a music career. So I will always
- 13:10Speaker 6: like have her back because she always had minds.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I know you got a record call.
- 13:14Speaker 7: It was all a dream and you mentioned that survivor's
- 13:17Speaker 7: remorse held you back from celebrating your wins.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Are you gonna celebrate this?
- 13:21Speaker 6: Yes, I'm gonna celebrate that. I promise it's a different time.
- 13:24Speaker 6: I'm gonna celebrate that when I promise you that when you've.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Reached the place now where you can.
- 13:28Speaker 6: Celebrate those yes, Like I feel like, Dang, I should
- 13:31Speaker 6: be happy for myself and I shouldn't feel like because
- 13:36Speaker 6: I done went and found this success that I gotta
- 13:39Speaker 6: worry about where you at in the level of success
- 13:42Speaker 6: of your life. You know what I'm saying, Like yours
- 13:44Speaker 6: is gonna come. I waited for minds. I've been on
- 13:48Speaker 6: a bench for a very long time. I sat on
- 13:49Speaker 6: the bench and I watched the game. Now I'm in
- 13:52Speaker 6: a court, like, dang, can you cheer for me?
- 13:55Speaker 2: So what were you feeling, Survi? I was remorse about.
- 13:57Speaker 6: Exactly, like just with everything, the littlest things like being
- 14:02Speaker 6: able to pay my bills on time.
- 14:04Speaker 1: And I still know people that that's not able to do.
- 14:06Speaker 6: So you know what I'm saying, Like the littlest things
- 14:09Speaker 6: was holding me back that I felt bad, And it's like,
- 14:12Speaker 6: why would you feel bad when it's your time and
- 14:14Speaker 6: you got to keep going so that these people could
- 14:17Speaker 6: be in your position too, Right, So, at what.
- 14:19Speaker 7: Point in your success did you realize it was okay
- 14:22Speaker 7: to help yourself.
- 14:22Speaker 6: First when nobody was there when I was going through
- 14:28Speaker 6: it in my room by myself, when I was like,
- 14:30Speaker 6: I was depressed and nobody was there. And I'm not
- 14:34Speaker 6: saying that nobody didn't want to be there. I just
- 14:38Speaker 6: dealt with it by myself. But I got through it.
- 14:41Speaker 6: So I'm like, Okay, now you got to start putting
- 14:43Speaker 6: yourself first.
- 14:44Speaker 4: You do know that you.
- 14:46Speaker 3: Got to take care of yourself and family first because
- 14:48Speaker 3: a lot of times that happens to a lot of
- 14:50Speaker 3: people and they take care of everybody else.
- 14:56Speaker 6: That's right, You do understand that part of it, though, Yes,
- 15:03Speaker 6: what was that downpoint depression like caused from us? It?
- 15:06Speaker 1: One thing?
- 15:06Speaker 6: Was it like a music industry thing? Was it personal life?
- 15:09Speaker 6: It was everything?
- 15:11Speaker 7: It was.
- 15:12Speaker 6: It was so much that I couldn't I couldn't think
- 15:17Speaker 6: like I was overthinking like it was clashing. So that's
- 15:21Speaker 6: why again I was telling y'all when I did Dennis Daughter,
- 15:24Speaker 6: I couldn't think about my moment and what my future
- 15:27Speaker 6: was was gonna look like. I kept thinking about what
- 15:30Speaker 6: was going on before. I'm like, oh, I came so far,
- 15:34Speaker 6: but I was just so I was just still trying
- 15:37Speaker 6: to get over trauma.
- 15:39Speaker 3: I want to ask, you know, she mentioned the drill
- 15:41Speaker 3: music before. I feel like New York music is not
- 15:44Speaker 3: flowing like it used to, like that Boom bab that record.
- 15:47Speaker 3: So do you stay focused on that as well as
- 15:49Speaker 3: say I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna be that type
- 15:50Speaker 3: of artist regardless and let it catch up with me.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Or do you say, you know what I'm gonna have to,
- 15:54Speaker 3: you know, transform a little bit and do what other
- 15:56Speaker 3: rappers are doing to make sure I stay relevant.
- 15:58Speaker 6: I've always been like different, so I stay focused on
- 16:02Speaker 6: doing that.
- 16:03Speaker 1: And I always say like.
- 16:04Speaker 6: I don't want to be responsible for saving certain parts
- 16:07Speaker 6: of the music industry, Like I don't want to be
- 16:10Speaker 6: responsible for that because that's a lot of pressure.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I don't want. I only deal with pressure that I
- 16:15Speaker 1: know I could deal with.
- 16:17Speaker 6: I feel like your money is a little like it's
- 16:19Speaker 6: still the lowler, high energy, but it got a little
- 16:21Speaker 6: bit of that boom back in it somewhere. Yeah, a
- 16:24Speaker 6: little bit. I think it's maybe it's the beat that
- 16:27Speaker 6: kind of I told you just gonna be this one
- 16:34Speaker 6: right here. I only say that because I think your
- 16:36Speaker 6: flow in it is kind of reminds me of like
- 16:38Speaker 6: the storytelling that would happen over those type of beats.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, get money. It's like, what's not
- 16:45Speaker 1: with you? Want to push ups?
- 16:47Speaker 5: Yeah?

- 19:05Speaker 7: I do want to ask you, Lola, what did you
- 19:06Speaker 7: learn in the process of releasing your first album that.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Made things easier this time?
- 19:14Speaker 6: Just continue to be yourself, Like, the only way to
- 19:18Speaker 6: sell music is if you being yourself. So when I'm
- 19:21Speaker 6: making music now, I only make songs that I know
- 19:24Speaker 6: I could sell. So after that, everything just be it
- 19:30Speaker 6: be easy, not well, I'm not gonna say it gets
- 19:34Speaker 6: it gets rough sometimes, but it's not as hard as
- 19:36Speaker 6: the last time.
- 19:38Speaker 2: When you're writing, what emotion do you tap into first?
- 19:41Speaker 2: Is it hunger?
- 19:41Speaker 6: Is pain?
- 19:42Speaker 2: Is it confidence? Or something else we don't even know about.
- 19:45Speaker 6: It just depends on what the day looking like for me,
- 19:49Speaker 6: like or sometimes I could be going through it with
- 19:53Speaker 6: family or whatever. But when I get in the studio,
- 19:56Speaker 6: I make a record like Get Money.
- 19:58Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, don't.
- 20:00Speaker 6: I don't make a song dwelling on my feelings of
- 20:04Speaker 6: feeling pain or anything like that.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I just be like I'm in a gym doing push
- 20:11Speaker 1: ups on Get.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Money, Like I'm straight on pain though, right, Pain is
- 20:17Speaker 6: about you going through something, but you flip it into
- 20:20Speaker 6: like confidence. Stop playing with me, Just stop playing with me.
- 20:24Speaker 6: So what inspired the Pain record? Okay, so okay, So
- 20:30Speaker 6: shout out to Mary because she cleared that. But the
- 20:32Speaker 6: Pain Record was basically me saying, I bet you want
- 20:38Speaker 6: to you wanna play with me?
- 20:40Speaker 1: I got you whole that thought.
- 20:42Speaker 6: Because I'm really that girl, like I shouldn't be the
- 20:45Speaker 6: girl that you're playing with I literally told you not
- 20:47Speaker 6: to play with it.
- 20:48Speaker 1: And that's not just to a man either, that could
- 20:51Speaker 1: be for anybody.
- 20:52Speaker 6: So if you have some drama in your life that
- 20:54Speaker 6: you want to clean up, you listen to pain and
- 20:56Speaker 6: be like, listen, I'm cleaning house.
- 20:58Speaker 4: But how is your love life Derek and being an artist?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Right?

- 21:04Speaker 3: The fact that you're in the studio, the fact that
- 21:05Speaker 3: you're on the road, the fact that you can't be
- 21:07Speaker 3: there like a normal person would be.
- 21:09Speaker 5: So get.
- 21:12Speaker 6: You.
- 21:17Speaker 2: We're gonna be in that hoodo.

- 21:51Speaker 1: have to get it off. It's been a minute. I
- 21:53Speaker 1: was told I was popping it. That's why it's like
- 21:56Speaker 1: I bet I you know, it's been a minute since
- 21:58Speaker 1: I was popping this.
- 21:59Speaker 6: So it's like, I bet hold that thought. Let me

- 22:13Speaker 6: you took a little break from like the posting and
- 22:15Speaker 6: all that, and it's just you now. But that it's
- 22:18Speaker 6: dope boy right yeah, yesfriend boyfriend. So but that's what See,
- 22:24Speaker 6: that's because we have this thing where we were not hiding. Yeah,
- 22:31Speaker 6: but we're still private, you know what I'm saying. It's
- 22:34Speaker 6: not a secret, but it's private. The last time I
- 22:38Speaker 6: saw you was the media room. Actually, I thought it
- 22:40Speaker 6: was a future concert. Remember I sat down with y'a
- 22:42Speaker 6: at the media room. It was me.
- 22:43Speaker 1: See that's why I'm clue, I'm not fro uh South
- 22:46Speaker 1: and Ivy.
- 22:47Speaker 6: Yes, that's why I'm like, I sat down in the
- 22:49Speaker 6: middle of that conversation and you were talking about being
- 22:51Speaker 6: ready to have kids.
- 22:53Speaker 1: No wait, hold on, they tricked me. Wait, wait, hold
- 22:55Speaker 1: on wait, Okay, well I'm not.
- 22:58Speaker 6: Gonna see him act like I yes, yes, yes, I do, Yes,
- 23:02Speaker 6: I do yeah, existence, yeah, because I look at it
- 23:06Speaker 6: like this, right as a female, when you give life,
- 23:11Speaker 6: that's not something that you put a hold on, like
- 23:13Speaker 6: you playing with God saying.
- 23:16Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 23:16Speaker 6: If you if you have someone that you're in love
- 23:19Speaker 6: with and you sit here and you say no, not
- 23:22Speaker 6: right now, not right now?
- 23:23Speaker 5: What is what?
- 23:24Speaker 1: Why y'all together?
- 23:25Speaker 2: Especially if things yeah.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Right, if the head ball rocket, then what's going on?
- 23:36Speaker 2: But people that want to get married first, they want
- 23:38Speaker 2: the ring first.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's cool.
- 23:41Speaker 6: But what I'm saying is to sit there and try
- 23:44Speaker 6: to put a hold on it purposely, like I don't.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I don't believe in that. At first, I used to
- 23:51Speaker 1: how do you.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Feel about bars? Like your man left rights on my
- 23:55Speaker 2: night stand and still left with no sex.
- 23:57Speaker 6: He loved it because he's like, oh, you ain't give
- 23:58Speaker 6: it up. Boom, Yeah, He's like, yeah, that's what I'm
- 24:05Speaker 6: talking about. You ain't give it up. You ain't easy
- 24:11Speaker 6: get the money back for what?
- 24:13Speaker 2: Economically for what.
- 24:16Speaker 1: He shouldn't have never tried to. He should have never
- 24:18Speaker 1: tried to link me.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Damn.
- 24:21Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, I'm stingy. I ain't gonna
- 24:25Speaker 6: for it. I'm so stinchy, So he's definitely not getting
- 24:28Speaker 6: that money back.
- 24:33Speaker 1: It go up and down. I'm not gonna, Frank, go
- 24:35Speaker 1: up and down.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Do you think you've involved as an artist? It's your
- 24:38Speaker 2: last album?
- 24:41Speaker 1: Uh speaking?
- 24:42Speaker 6: Besides like the music as a person, I grew with
- 24:49Speaker 6: just allowing myself to live, you know what I'm saying.
- 24:53Speaker 6: I feel like that's the most important thing because when
- 24:54Speaker 6: I'm I'm doing music because it helps express I I
- 24:57Speaker 6: expressed myself really well when I do it. So now
- 25:01Speaker 6: it's like when you don't hold yourself back, when you
- 25:04Speaker 6: be yourself, when you live in your moments, when you
- 25:07Speaker 6: you be yourself, just that's the best growth that you
- 25:11Speaker 6: can have. And I'm not perfect. I take accountability a lot,
- 25:15Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So when you make mistakes
- 25:18Speaker 6: and you correct them, it's the best.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Thing you can do for yourself.
- 25:21Speaker 2: I like, I like, I like I can hear it
- 25:23Speaker 2: on records like invest daughter, Yes, New York La. Yes, yes, yes.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Because you say, ask if I want bags, no, I said,
- 25:32Speaker 2: of course.
- 25:34Speaker 1: When yeah, yeah?
- 25:36Speaker 2: But and I could go on and because you said
- 25:40Speaker 2: you want somebody that you can build a foundation.
- 25:41Speaker 6: With, Yes, because okay, being financially stable. Of course I
- 25:46Speaker 6: want that in a relationship. But just because a man
- 25:50Speaker 6: got money don't mean he gonna treat you right.
- 25:52Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, is that the chat?
- 26:00Speaker 2: Keep telling that?
- 26:01Speaker 1: Is it the chat? It's sad the chat?
- 26:04Speaker 6: Love it right? Chat?
- 26:05Speaker 1: W's in a chat?
- 26:06Speaker 4: Chat for dear life.
- 26:10Speaker 5: Over?
- 26:11Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know it's you know, I had the titty,
- 26:14Speaker 1: I got titty problems. Now it's that happy way. It's
- 26:22Speaker 1: the happy way.
- 26:23Speaker 3: I want to talk about your team too, because you've
- 26:25Speaker 3: been with your team. Of course, no teammate talking about
- 26:29Speaker 3: how important your team is to making sure that you
- 26:31Speaker 3: still are still relevant, making sure that all your business.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Is right too.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Yep, they know they know what I want in life.
- 26:36Speaker 6: And I always say when you meet someone new, like
- 26:40Speaker 6: a friend or a spout, it takes three years for
- 26:44Speaker 6: you to know somebody.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Their true self.
- 26:49Speaker 6: So I feel like, even when I'm not around, my
- 26:53Speaker 6: team see things and they be like, Lola, love this.
- 26:56Speaker 6: And that helps me sleep at night because it's like
- 26:58Speaker 6: I'm not any by myself, you know what I'm saying.
- 27:00Speaker 6: When I wake up, I know I'm gonna have a
- 27:01Speaker 6: team that's laying stuff out for me and saying here,
- 27:04Speaker 6: just say yes or no.
- 27:06Speaker 1: And that's all I want do. I just want to
- 27:07Speaker 1: say yes or no.
- 27:09Speaker 2: We know the don they were having a guy like
- 27:10Speaker 2: Sava is like, you know, he cares about you as
- 27:13Speaker 2: a person.
- 27:13Speaker 6: Yes, that's that's the most important thing, because people do
- 27:16Speaker 6: not be caring about people.
- 27:17Speaker 5: Yo.
- 27:19Speaker 7: On the song Investor, what did you learn about yourself
- 27:22Speaker 7: and your values while putting a song like that together?
- 27:24Speaker 6: I realized that money is not everything for me. I
- 27:28Speaker 6: mean I wasn't raised in a household of a lot
- 27:33Speaker 6: of wealth. It was a single parent. So I like
- 27:37Speaker 6: to be loved on and I like to give love
- 27:39Speaker 6: as well. So that's what I learned about myself. Invest
- 27:42Speaker 6: in me spiritually, mentally, physically.
- 27:46Speaker 2: So that's what investing is. Not just financial, it's all
- 27:48Speaker 2: of those things.
- 27:49Speaker 6: Not just right is everything else the financial thing that's
- 27:52Speaker 6: just to secure everything else.
- 27:54Speaker 1: But we could get that together, like I'm down, this
- 27:58Speaker 1: makes money, baby, you knows you knows the stuff.
- 28:04Speaker 6: Okay, okay, yeah, we got we talk about plans and stuff.
- 28:08Speaker 6: You have to have someone where you could build with
- 28:10Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, So that when you do
- 28:12Speaker 6: have kids, what you gonna tell your kids, like, you're
- 28:16Speaker 6: just glad you don't feel like you got to put
- 28:17Speaker 6: a lot of that on hold, because that is a
- 28:19Speaker 6: thing for women in any industry. Like you always feel like, dang,
- 28:22Speaker 6: if I do it too wrong, too soon, too late,
- 28:26Speaker 6: where am I gonna end up?
- 28:27Speaker 1: Where's my career?
- 28:28Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 28:28Speaker 6: And I think that's unfair. I really do think that's
- 28:31Speaker 6: unfair because it's like, as women, y'all don't know what
- 28:33Speaker 6: we deal with. And once you get like thirty, after
- 28:37Speaker 6: thirty four, they say women most likely gonna have a
- 28:39Speaker 6: lot of complications with giving birth.
- 28:42Speaker 1: And things like that. They say that. I mean, I
- 28:45Speaker 1: don't know how true it is now, but that used
- 28:47Speaker 1: to be. Can you see little stuff like that that's
- 28:51Speaker 1: messed up? After this? We could jump him, but you
- 28:54Speaker 1: needed to get with him.
- 28:55Speaker 6: It's not envy, NB, Yeah, I'm sorry envy you, but yeah,
- 29:01Speaker 6: I feel like really a thought that you'd be having.
- 29:03Speaker 6: It's like, dang, you worked so hard for this, but
- 29:05Speaker 6: at the same time, you do gotta do this thing
- 29:07Speaker 6: over here too. That's why for me, I say, what
- 29:11Speaker 6: do you want in life? Forget what do you want
- 29:13Speaker 6: for your career? What do you want in life? Because
- 29:15Speaker 6: your career is gonna support what you want in life.
- 29:18Speaker 6: And I want a family, So I have a career
- 29:21Speaker 6: so that I could support my family. And whenever I
- 29:23Speaker 6: feel like that time coming, I'm going. Was your mindset
- 29:27Speaker 6: always like that, though, because I think that is yes,
- 29:30Speaker 6: because that's the difference between understanding that you're surviving versus
- 29:33Speaker 6: understanding you're living. And a lot of us women who
- 29:35Speaker 6: grew up with single parents, all I knew how to
- 29:37Speaker 6: do was survive. I didn't know how to create family.
- 29:39Speaker 6: We were just talking about this family and stuff like that.
- 29:41Speaker 6: You just know how to survive. You just know how
- 29:43Speaker 6: to work hard. And that's all I say. My moms
- 29:46Speaker 6: do was work hard. So and then they make it
- 29:50Speaker 6: seem as if kids is just gonna make things harder,
- 29:53Speaker 6: and it's like, what's the point of living?
- 29:56Speaker 1: Like this is what we're here for.
- 29:57Speaker 2: I feel like there's people that are shattered that, like Cardi.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to Carty for sure. Yeah, because she
- 30:03Speaker 1: still went out and did it and she's still doing it.
- 30:08Speaker 7: I recently read that trance and she studied you to
- 30:11Speaker 7: tap into her wrapper bag for her new movie.
- 30:13Speaker 6: Yeah, it was fashion week out here in New York
- 30:17Speaker 6: and she she just I was like I was thrown
- 30:21Speaker 6: off because we was talking and she was like, yo,
- 30:24Speaker 6: you know.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I channeled you, and I'm like channel me.
- 30:26Speaker 6: She like, yeah, I got a new role and I
- 30:29Speaker 6: channeled you because you're small, your voice is powerful and
- 30:33Speaker 6: I'm small too.
- 30:34Speaker 1: And I was like dazed out, like what me?
- 30:38Speaker 6: She like yeah, girl, like it was so regular for her,
- 30:41Speaker 6: and I'm like, it's not regular to me, Like your
- 30:43Speaker 6: actress telling me this.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Stuff like that you feel like you have a real impact.
- 30:49Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like, girl, keep going, keep going, don't stop
- 30:53Speaker 6: because yeah, sometimes you you can't get to see out
- 30:57Speaker 6: looking in, you just in looking out, so sometimes you
- 31:00Speaker 6: don't feel your impact. Somebody got to tell you sometimes too,
- 31:03Speaker 6: you know, because you're so busy working.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Do you still haven't pop syndrome or do you feel.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Like nah, No, I'm here. God is my witness. I'm here.
- 31:14Speaker 6: I'm not holding back no more, because it's like holding
- 31:17Speaker 6: back is saying I'm stepping on someone else's toes. That's
- 31:21Speaker 6: not my intentions. And if that was my first intentions,
- 31:25Speaker 6: then that means that yeah, you you tripping, but that's
- 31:29Speaker 6: not my intentions to be stepping on nobody told I'm
- 31:32Speaker 6: just trying to keep winning so I could support my
- 31:34Speaker 6: family and my goals.
- 31:35Speaker 2: You know, when did you first recognize your voice? Like
- 31:38Speaker 2: when did what was? What was the moment you said
- 31:40Speaker 2: something scared yourself.
- 31:43Speaker 6: When I was mad, probably one of my old flings.
- 31:46Speaker 6: They pissed me off, and I was like, oh what, hmm,
- 31:51Speaker 6: I can't even tell y'all what I said because it might.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Be a case. I said, I got it in me word,
- 31:58Speaker 1: I got it in you got it?
- 32:00Speaker 2: And then you girl hmmm and you took that right
