- 1:21Speaker 2: Now we've seen we've seen everything online and at one
- 1:23Speaker 2: time they said that you were going through your health problems.
- 1:25Speaker 2: But what what was that all about for people that
- 1:27Speaker 2: don't know life?
- 1:30Speaker 1: Mm?
- 1:30Speaker 4: Hm man, life, life be life. And explained it so
- 1:33Speaker 4: many times I said it in the music It's just life. Man. Yeah,
- 1:37Speaker 4: I just got through it.
- 1:39Speaker 5: Well, I hear you talk about you know, you had
- 1:41Speaker 5: to kind of like face your own mortality.
- 1:42Speaker 1: What did that teach you about what actually matters?
- 1:46Speaker 4: Mmm? I don't know. I think just you know, being
- 1:51Speaker 4: kind of disciplined and you know, a little more patient
- 1:54Speaker 4: and kind of like really sitting still, you know what
- 1:57Speaker 4: I mean, because when you're moving fast, you don't see
- 2:00Speaker 4: a lot, you know, and a lot of stuff just
- 2:02Speaker 4: start to catch up to you, you know what I mean.
- 2:04Speaker 4: So it was just more so about just grounding myself
- 2:08Speaker 4: and I'm kind of you know, getting out of situations
- 2:10Speaker 4: and avoiding certain people or eliminate certain eliminating certain people
- 2:14Speaker 4: out of my life, just getting real distant and locking
- 2:18Speaker 4: in with God most importantly, And I mean God was
- 2:20Speaker 4: really the number one you know what I mean. Reason
- 2:23Speaker 4: why I really got on track.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Did that moment really show you who actually loves you?
- 2:28Speaker 1: I don't.
- 2:29Speaker 4: It wasn't really about a love thing because I've always
- 2:31Speaker 4: been the type of person I don't really seek like
- 2:34Speaker 4: validation or attention or so I kind of like, if
- 2:38Speaker 4: I feel like something good for me, I automatically like
- 2:40Speaker 4: have that intuition and I kind of eliminate the situation.
- 2:44Speaker 4: And yeah, so it wasn't really that. It's just you know,
- 2:48Speaker 4: you deal with certain things definitely with this in this industry,
- 2:52Speaker 4: you know what I mean, just being an artist and
- 2:54Speaker 4: dealing with fame, and then you got personal issues, and
- 2:56Speaker 4: I'm the type of person I don't I don't really
- 2:58Speaker 4: display my personal life life on the internet, you know
- 3:02Speaker 4: what I mean. I deal with things privately, so you
- 3:06Speaker 4: know what I mean, a lot of people don't really
- 3:07Speaker 4: know my life. So when they see me on the
- 3:10Speaker 4: surface and like seeing what I went through, people is
- 3:12Speaker 4: confused because I don't speak you know what I mean.
- 3:14Speaker 4: I don't speak on nothing. So did you move you?
- 3:17Speaker 3: Did you move out of New York?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 3:18Speaker 3: That beneficial? Was that worse?
- 3:21Speaker 4: Financially better? Okay, because New York is expensive? But I
- 3:27Speaker 4: mean I've moved a lot when I was a kid,
- 3:30Speaker 4: so it's kind of like normal. Yeah, it ain't really
- 3:33Speaker 4: really make no difference.
- 3:35Speaker 3: What about the music musically.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Musically I would say, yeah, a little bit, just you know,
- 3:41Speaker 4: leaving my town, it kind of does change things a
- 3:45Speaker 4: little bit. But one thing about it, like I'll make
- 3:47Speaker 4: something at home feel like, you know, my comfort zone.
- 3:50Speaker 4: So yeah, nah, I mean it really makes too much
- 3:53Speaker 4: of a difference.
- 3:53Speaker 5: I feel like in this ERAa, you're less interested in
- 3:55Speaker 5: proving yourself and just more interested in like just simply living.
- 4:00Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think I ever was trying to
- 4:04Speaker 4: prove nothing. I just was like openly being me, you
- 4:08Speaker 4: know what I mean, And that was it. Like that's
- 4:10Speaker 4: how I was going with it. I think now I'm
- 4:13Speaker 4: just I'm a little more grounded and i'm older understaying
- 4:15Speaker 4: I've been through a lot of you know, situations in
- 4:18Speaker 4: my life where I had to learn from so you know,
- 4:21Speaker 4: I just see things a little different. That's you know,
- 4:23Speaker 4: that's pretty much it.
- 4:25Speaker 7: But I'm still free. I thought I'm still free.
- 4:27Speaker 6: It was like, because I saw you say you don't
- 4:29Speaker 6: want people to say this as a comeback, like, yeah, fact,
- 4:31Speaker 6: so I'm still free. You're like re establishing, like don't
- 4:34Speaker 6: play with me. And I'm like, I wonder why she
- 4:35Speaker 6: felt like she had to do that. But I'm hearing
- 4:37Speaker 6: you say you don't feel like you had to, So
- 4:38Speaker 6: why because.
- 4:39Speaker 4: That's just me. That's that's always how I've been. Like
- 4:41Speaker 4: it's like, you know, I just want you to know,
- 4:43Speaker 4: like I'm still on that type of time and too,
- 4:45Speaker 4: like don't look at this just like I'm vulnerable and
- 4:48Speaker 4: you know what I mean, because I'm just a real
- 4:49Speaker 4: I'm a real person like speaking on real situations. But
- 4:53Speaker 4: at the same time, like I'm still thorough with it,
- 4:55Speaker 4: like you know what I mean. That ain't never changed.
- 4:57Speaker 4: So and we and we continuing on. It's not No,
- 5:00Speaker 4: I don't even feel like it's a comeback. I just
- 5:02Speaker 4: felt like I dealt with the situation in my life.
- 5:05Speaker 4: You know, I handled it, and I'm moving you know,
- 5:07Speaker 4: I'm continuing my movement, you know what I mean.
- 5:09Speaker 6: So, what are certain boundaries that you set you wanted
- 5:12Speaker 6: to set up as you got back into moving around
- 5:14Speaker 6: with music, where certain conversations you were having or whatever,
- 5:17Speaker 6: where people didn't kind of lean into all the vulnerability
- 5:19Speaker 6: side of it so that it didn't take away from
- 5:20Speaker 6: the music.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Wait say that again.
- 5:24Speaker 6: Like did you when you decided to get back into music, right,
- 5:27Speaker 6: and you're talking about you don't want people to look
- 5:28Speaker 6: at this as a comeback where you like, I don't
- 5:30Speaker 6: want to have certain conversations, I don't want to go
- 5:32Speaker 6: certain places because you didn't want to get so vulnerable
- 5:34Speaker 6: that it took away from.
- 5:35Speaker 7: The hardness of the music.
- 5:36Speaker 4: And you talk about like now.
- 5:37Speaker 7: Yeah, right now.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I knew it was coming, Like I knew this
- 5:41Speaker 4: had to be talked about because I don't, like I said,
- 5:43Speaker 4: I don't put nothing out on social media, so everything
- 5:46Speaker 4: you see, you see it from other people's point of view.
- 5:49Speaker 4: You never hear it from me. So I knew it
- 5:51Speaker 4: was a time where I had to speak about it
- 5:53Speaker 4: just to kind of clear an it on my behalf,
- 5:55Speaker 4: you know what I mean, and then move forward from there.
- 5:57Speaker 4: I don't really like, I don't look at it like
- 5:59Speaker 4: I don't want to talk about this. I know it's
- 6:01Speaker 4: time to talk about it, but like also, like my
- 6:03Speaker 4: music is where I, you know, put everything, so it's
- 6:06Speaker 4: like you got to hear the music though more than anything,
- 6:08Speaker 4: because I'm not going to do a whole bunch of
- 6:09Speaker 4: interviews speaking on it.
- 6:11Speaker 3: What took you so long? Took it felt like it
- 6:12Speaker 3: took a long time for you you to come back?
- 6:14Speaker 4: She just I mean.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Its because she was touring, she was traveling, she was
- 6:20Speaker 2: doing shows at one time.
- 6:21Speaker 4: It just felt like it just I mean, the industry
- 6:23Speaker 4: kind of changed too, though, Like you know what I mean,
- 6:25Speaker 4: you got to kind of learn how to adapt to
- 6:27Speaker 4: Like I always, I always kind of fall back and
- 6:29Speaker 4: observe the industry a lot, you know what I mean,
- 6:32Speaker 4: just to see like how the music is shifting, how
- 6:34Speaker 4: it's changing, and that's how you know, come back and involved.
- 6:38Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, tom be flying, but you know,
- 6:41Speaker 4: you go through stuff and like I really, you know,
- 6:43Speaker 4: deal with my situations like you know what I mean,
- 6:46Speaker 4: And when I feel like it's time for me to
- 6:47Speaker 4: get back out there, then I'll get back out there,
- 6:49Speaker 4: like you know what I mean, health as well. And
- 6:51Speaker 4: that's how I really like my personal life, Like I
- 6:52Speaker 4: deal with those things for real. I don't avoid that
- 6:55Speaker 4: sometimes because if that's not right, I can't really function
- 6:58Speaker 4: in this field, you know what I'm saying.
- 7:00Speaker 5: So you know it's crazy. I was having this conversation
- 7:02Speaker 5: this morning. Sometimes I feel like the music don't even
- 7:05Speaker 5: matter as much as the attention do. Like now attention
- 7:09Speaker 5: seems more valuable than talent, like hip hop's rewarding the
- 7:12Speaker 5: wrong thing.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's hard for me to be on that,
- 7:15Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like I grew up on music,
- 7:19Speaker 4: you know, That's how I've ent it, That's how I
- 7:20Speaker 4: express myself. So I don't really know how to do
- 7:23Speaker 4: something other than that.
- 7:26Speaker 1: It's the algorithm more powerful than the coach.
- 7:29Speaker 4: For sure. I think on the Internet it is. I
- 7:32Speaker 4: think in real life it's a little different, but like
- 7:35Speaker 4: on social media, yeah, for sure, because they feel.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Like people are making they're not even making music for
- 7:40Speaker 5: people sometimes, Like it's like they're making music for for moments,
- 7:43Speaker 5: for social what's gonna get people to talk?
- 7:46Speaker 4: For sure? No facts facts, And that's you know, that's
- 7:48Speaker 4: tough to kind of be in that, you know, in
- 7:51Speaker 4: that type of uh, that situation because definitely when you
- 7:54Speaker 4: have like a passion for music for so long and
- 7:58Speaker 4: then you just seeing everything adjust to a whole nother
- 8:01Speaker 4: generation of things, it's like like how do you compete
- 8:04Speaker 4: with that, you know what I mean? Or do you
- 8:06Speaker 4: compete or do you you know, you adapt? So like
- 8:09Speaker 4: I'm I'm like in between, like it's a balance of
- 8:12Speaker 4: so like I can adapt, but I'm also going to
- 8:13Speaker 4: compete with it at the same time because I'm still
- 8:15Speaker 4: gonna be you know what I'm accustomed to.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I heard that regulatory lanes.
- 8:18Speaker 7: I'm like, Yo, that's.
- 8:24Speaker 4: How does that talk about?
- 8:25Speaker 8: Did you get his did he do his verse while
- 8:27Speaker 8: he was before he was concerrated or.
- 8:29Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how.
- 8:35Speaker 4: You know, I don't know how.
- 8:35Speaker 8: He did it, but he did it and that for sure.
- 8:39Speaker 4: But yeah, no, that's the only good people. We talked
- 8:42Speaker 4: on some cool shit regularly. We're got this record, what
- 8:45Speaker 4: we're doing, And that's how I went.
- 8:47Speaker 5: When you've got a record like that and you know
- 8:48Speaker 5: it's heat, like what do you does it frustrate you
- 8:50Speaker 5: when it's not getting the radio players should or it's
- 8:53Speaker 5: not going the way you think it should.
- 8:54Speaker 4: I think I think like I used to that kind
- 8:57Speaker 4: of that vibe because I've been independent, so it's like,
- 9:00Speaker 4: I don't I don't be like, yo, why this ain't
- 9:02Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like, I gotta work for it.
- 9:04Speaker 4: What I mean, I'm independent, I work for I ain't
- 9:06Speaker 4: got that you know, that machine machine. So it's gonna
- 9:08Speaker 4: get there.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Though, but you got to, you know, you got to
- 9:10Speaker 2: get back to to calling DJs, calling people because at
- 9:15Speaker 2: one time, if you don't know, younger men will come
- 9:17Speaker 2: to every party in New York City.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Every club to support every DJ. So it's only right
- 9:21Speaker 3: that the DJs absolutely now on open scars.
- 9:25Speaker 4: He said.
- 9:26Speaker 2: The liquor wasn't high in my pain. It was hiding
- 9:28Speaker 2: me break that down a little bit, just.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Trying to you know, basically just trying to like, what's
- 9:40Speaker 4: that word. I'm looking for a compressed you know, situations
- 9:44Speaker 4: you're dealing with, and it kind of took advantage of me,
- 9:48Speaker 4: you know, And of course you know you don't see that,
- 9:53Speaker 4: but you know, I'm suppressing things and I'm you know,
- 9:56Speaker 4: leaning towards something that I know will kind of make
- 9:59Speaker 4: me forget a lot of stuff and move, you know,
- 10:02Speaker 4: move away from it or whatever mentally. But it wasn't
- 10:06Speaker 4: it wasn't helping, you know, at all, and you know
- 10:08Speaker 4: you know that, but in the moment, you don't, you know,
- 10:11Speaker 4: you just until I had to really face reality, you
- 10:15Speaker 4: know what I mean, And that's how that happened.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Is it difficult now because you are an artists, you
- 10:19Speaker 2: are in those venues, you are in clubs, you are
- 10:21Speaker 2: in those spots where.
- 10:22Speaker 4: No, it's not difficult because it wasn't never like like
- 10:25Speaker 4: I was strung out addicted, you know what I mean.
- 10:30Speaker 4: It was just like a moment, yeah, because you know
- 10:34Speaker 4: what I mean, because a lot of people don't be real,
- 10:36Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like a lot of people
- 10:38Speaker 4: go through this, you know what I mean. I'm just
- 10:40Speaker 4: the one to speak on it for real, like it's real,
- 10:42Speaker 4: Like it's people going, but they ain't gonna say that.
- 10:44Speaker 7: So what was the withdraw that?
- 10:45Speaker 6: Because when you were Shannon Sharp, you were talking about
- 10:47Speaker 6: how like there was like a withdraws.
- 10:50Speaker 4: That's what anything you you know, you get too involved in,
- 10:53Speaker 4: like if you assume, I mean, consumes so much of it,
- 10:56Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like if you stop it,
- 10:58Speaker 4: you get withdraws. And that was scary for me because
- 11:01Speaker 4: I never witnessed that, and I didn't realize how much
- 11:03Speaker 4: I was consuming at the time. Like you get hangovers,
- 11:06Speaker 4: you know, that's like the normal. But it was to
- 11:08Speaker 4: a point where I was consuming so much in that
- 11:10Speaker 4: point of time and trying to suppress whatever I was
- 11:12Speaker 4: going through that. I didn't know that that aftermath like
- 11:16Speaker 4: that comes with that, and that shook me.
- 11:17Speaker 7: You said, a bottle of day.
- 11:22Speaker 1: You didn't have that problem before you took off as
- 11:25Speaker 1: a rapper.
- 11:25Speaker 4: No, or even when I was like even in the
- 11:28Speaker 4: beginning stages that that issue happened like kind of like
- 11:30Speaker 4: a little after Covida.
- 11:33Speaker 1: You know what you were trying to run from.
- 11:36Speaker 4: It was a lot going on, and then you know,
- 11:37Speaker 4: a lot of things slowed down at that time. I
- 11:40Speaker 4: remember I had I had just started my first tour
- 11:44Speaker 4: from my first debut album and like it got cut short. No,
- 11:49Speaker 4: that was my first headlining tour, and I had a
- 11:52Speaker 4: lot of stuff lined up, and it was kind of like,
- 11:55Speaker 4: you know, like shut down in a sense. And then
- 11:58Speaker 4: that pushed me into being outside and being in situations
- 12:03Speaker 4: that you know, I shouldn't have kind of been in
- 12:05Speaker 4: and kind of put my attention on things that was
- 12:07Speaker 4: opposite of what I was already doing, you know what
- 12:09Speaker 4: I mean, And it caught up, you know, and then
- 12:11Speaker 4: I'm dealing with personal life, you know what I mean.
- 12:13Speaker 4: I don't really want to speak too much on what
- 12:15Speaker 4: I was dealing with, but yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 8: Wasn't hard for you to record the intro the album.
- 12:19Speaker 8: It's called Therapy.
- 12:20Speaker 4: The first nah that came like that spelled out that
- 12:24Speaker 4: was actually I didn't. Actually it was crazy because I
- 12:26Speaker 4: had a majority of the album done. That was like
- 12:28Speaker 4: one of the last few songs I did because I
- 12:31Speaker 4: felt like it needed that introduction, you know what I mean.
- 12:33Speaker 4: I needed to introduce like, hold on, let me just
- 12:35Speaker 4: tell them a little bit about you know who I am,
- 12:37Speaker 4: Like where I'm from? Yah, real quick? How you know born?
- 12:40Speaker 4: And all? That just the birth of the album a
- 12:42Speaker 4: little bit.
- 12:43Speaker 8: So most of these tracks you've been had, these were
- 12:45Speaker 8: over the years or this was recent.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Most of the tracks was kind of like recent. Some
- 12:52Speaker 4: was like a couple of years ago. It's like a mixture,
- 12:54Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I kind of put everything together.
- 12:57Speaker 4: And because I didn't want the album to feel like
- 12:59Speaker 4: I'm just talking about what I'm going through and sad
- 13:02Speaker 4: and dark, That's why I had to come with the
- 13:04Speaker 4: other records to kind of be like, hold, I'm in
- 13:06Speaker 4: good spirits now, you know what I mean? You feel
- 13:09Speaker 4: me so making these.
- 13:17Speaker 5: Did you have a feel pressure that always appears strong
- 13:19Speaker 5: because you always looked like so one phase and so shakeable.
- 13:23Speaker 5: What you mean like, I mean, you always look so
- 13:26Speaker 5: cool and calm when we first saw you, But so
- 13:27Speaker 5: do you ever feel like the pressure to just always
- 13:30Speaker 5: appear that way?
- 13:33Speaker 4: That's just her, Like, I don't be trying to I
- 13:35Speaker 4: don't I don't think about that because I don't know.
- 13:38Speaker 1: I'll just be.

- 18:58Speaker 4: of a lady just my family, man, it's little man moving.
- 19:04Speaker 4: That's what.
- 19:05Speaker 5: It's a sign you're not you're not really a bit
- 19:08Speaker 5: of a label person. Like even on Still Free, you
- 19:10Speaker 5: say I ain't perfect, I still sin and just like
- 19:13Speaker 5: Bruce Jenna, I'm.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Still her, I'm still.
- 19:20Speaker 4: Fire.
- 19:21Speaker 1: You never you always shunned the label thing like.
- 19:23Speaker 4: You just you.
- 19:26Speaker 8: Yes, man, she's so tired that, like you know, I'm
- 19:32Speaker 8: saying this my whole career.
- 19:34Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, I ain't really too much to talk about.
- 19:36Speaker 4: I don't know why people because it's people, you know,
- 19:39Speaker 4: it's people out there that's really like people that like women,
- 19:41Speaker 4: like me that like women. There's a lot of them
- 19:44Speaker 4: that don't care for the label stuff. Like it's really
- 19:47Speaker 4: a group of people out there that's just really on
- 19:50Speaker 4: that timing, you know what I mean. So like I
- 19:52Speaker 4: don't judge people that want to be this like I
- 19:54Speaker 4: don't talk about people who want to be labeled as this,
- 19:56Speaker 4: and the third, I don't care that's your preference. I'm good.
- 19:59Speaker 4: I don't loved you is love? Love is all love?
- 20:01Speaker 3: Is that important to you that?
- 20:02Speaker 2: Because maybe it's to me, But I don't think people
- 20:05Speaker 2: have labels when it comes to you.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Other people this labeled. They just say you're a dope
- 20:09Speaker 3: m C or you dope label.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't get all that. That's what I'm saying.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Like most of the time, ninety percent of the time,
- 20:16Speaker 4: people just that young men. Simple. But that's how I
- 20:19Speaker 4: carry myself too. You gotta carry yourself how you want
- 20:21Speaker 4: to carry yourself and not just be me all day.
- 20:23Speaker 4: I don't really try to seek for no type of
- 20:26Speaker 4: validation or anything. I'll just be out here being me.
- 20:30Speaker 1: When did you outgrow ahead for me? What you mean like,
- 20:34Speaker 1: do you all grow like the Yeah?
- 20:37Speaker 4: I grow the hole? Yeah?
- 20:38Speaker 1: And what did you all grow the whole?
- 20:39Speaker 4: When she met shorty with the time, I mean any
- 20:41Speaker 4: time for sure? She right right, any tithing I'm in
- 20:50Speaker 4: a relationship. I cut down on that.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Cut down, knock it out, okay, just cut down on it, okay, totally.
- 20:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean listen like I'm the type of person man.
- 21:02Speaker 4: When I'm I'm in it, I'm in it. But when
- 21:04Speaker 4: I'm out and I'm outside, simple, what's.
- 21:07Speaker 7: Your relationship with outside? Like now?
- 21:09Speaker 4: Right?
- 21:09Speaker 7: Because when you was outside before with all of the
- 21:12Speaker 7: hepheny stuff, it was like you literally was.
- 21:14Speaker 6: I was telling them before like I had such a
- 21:16Speaker 6: great summer off that song, like the feeling of it
- 21:18Speaker 6: or whatever. But but now, like with you got a
- 21:22Speaker 6: lot of songs on here that it's definitely gonna circulate outside.
- 21:26Speaker 6: What vibe are you giving around that since your health
- 21:29Speaker 6: life has changed in a relationship, Like yeah, like, how
- 21:32Speaker 6: are you navigating the outside world these days?
- 21:36Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie, I ain't the same. I'm definitely
- 21:39Speaker 4: not the same helf many days, total, total different person.
- 21:45Speaker 4: But I mean like it's you know that vibe, Like
- 21:49Speaker 4: I still got that vibe in me. Yeah, what I mean,
- 21:51Speaker 4: that's why I can still make that like it's still there.
- 21:53Speaker 4: Like if I'm outside and all that, we're gonna make
- 21:55Speaker 4: a movie still, you know what I mean. But I
- 21:57Speaker 4: don't go I don't really always be in the midst
- 21:59Speaker 4: of it. But if we out there, we out there,
- 22:01Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I ain't nothing. I'm still
- 22:03Speaker 4: you know, I'm still I'm an aries man. That is
- 22:05Speaker 4: in my blood.
- 22:07Speaker 5: Oh my god, man, I saw I like the Beautiful
- 22:10Speaker 5: Pain record when you're talking about all the money you
- 22:12Speaker 5: spend a month and all the money you spend a yeah,
- 22:15Speaker 5: like like what's the most expensive lessons this journey has
- 22:18Speaker 5: taught you the music business all that.
- 22:20Speaker 4: You know what's crazy? I really don't have one because
- 22:23Speaker 4: I'm like a penny pincher, Like I'm real like careful
- 22:27Speaker 4: with my money. And then my team too, you know,
- 22:30Speaker 4: like the people that I'm with they kind of keep me,
- 22:33Speaker 4: you know, grounded with that too as well, you know
- 22:35Speaker 4: what I mean, keep me on point and let me
- 22:37Speaker 4: know when you know there's a little too much here
- 22:39Speaker 4: and there, you know what I mean. But me, I
- 22:42Speaker 4: really be like kind of like, you know, not doing
- 22:45Speaker 4: too much, Like I don't have a whole bunch of cars,
- 22:48Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like I got you know,
- 22:51Speaker 4: my my my house is in my name.
- 22:54Speaker 3: That chat it's about a quarter man.
- 22:56Speaker 4: I mean, this is like trophies though, Like this is
- 22:58Speaker 4: like this is like.
- 23:00Speaker 3: I don't one stuff.
- 23:03Speaker 4: This is just me. This is like this is young
- 23:05Speaker 4: and men. I got another change and that's how I
- 23:06Speaker 4: rocket calm rely this ring that go with it.
- 23:10Speaker 1: The cheap teeth, she said, she said, that's all she got.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I keep it like this like this is like
- 23:16Speaker 4: my trophy, Like I put this on when I just
- 23:18Speaker 4: feel like I got to do interviews real quick. But
- 23:20Speaker 4: other than that, I'm chilling, Like I don't be wearing
- 23:22Speaker 4: chained everywhere in all day, Like I'll be cool, like
- 23:26Speaker 4: I'll be penny pinching. Man, I don't. I don't spend
- 23:28Speaker 4: too much money, So the only thing I can say
- 23:31Speaker 4: is like I think the most money I ever spent
- 23:33Speaker 4: in one setting is like buying a house investment. Yeah,
- 23:38Speaker 4: is buying a house, you know. And now I'm into
- 23:39Speaker 4: real estate now, so it's like I'm on in that
- 23:42Speaker 4: verge of like trying to just you know, create wealth
- 23:45Speaker 4: and make money my money, make money, you know what
- 23:48Speaker 4: I mean. So yeah, I'm in that vib you.
- 23:51Speaker 7: Buying a bunch of homes and stuff right now, like
- 23:52Speaker 7: make it in a business.
- 23:53Speaker 4: Or you just well right now, I'm not going to
- 23:56Speaker 4: say like I'm all the way out there with it.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I'm kind of still learning more. I got a realtor.
- 24:00Speaker 4: That's been kind of like you know, teaching me a lot.
- 24:04Speaker 4: So of course I gotta, you know, jump in and
- 24:06Speaker 4: make the writers because that business is you know, that's
- 24:09Speaker 4: not nothing you can really fool around with. Definitely with
- 24:12Speaker 4: your money. You know, you can lose a lot doing
- 24:14Speaker 4: that business. So you know, I've been dibbing, dabbing and
- 24:16Speaker 4: stuff and kind of like trying to put my money
- 24:18Speaker 4: here in there.
- 24:20Speaker 1: What's more beneficial to making good music? Is it the
- 24:22Speaker 1: clarity you have now or catching that vibe?
- 24:26Speaker 4: Definitely the vibe. You got to catch the vibe because
- 24:29Speaker 4: I have writer's block a lot because I write all
- 24:31Speaker 4: my music, you know what I mean. I don't have
- 24:32Speaker 4: no helpers. So I get in that mold where I
- 24:35Speaker 4: can completely shut down and don't have no type of
- 24:39Speaker 4: creative motivation, and I have to sometimes just not listen
- 24:45Speaker 4: to no music or like just do something totally different
- 24:48Speaker 4: to kind of bring that vibe back. So yeah, it's
- 24:51Speaker 4: difficult a lot of times, but you definitely need that
- 24:53Speaker 4: vibe or you didn't need some type of motivation to
- 24:55Speaker 4: kind of influence you. And then like with music now,
- 24:59Speaker 4: nothing really gives me that, So I gotta kind of
- 25:02Speaker 4: go into archives and really listen to old stuff, you
- 25:05Speaker 4: know what I mean. So because before, like when music was,
- 25:07Speaker 4: you know, doing what it was, I used to get
- 25:09Speaker 4: motivation from certain songs, certain artists and stuff like that.
- 25:12Speaker 4: That kind of pushed me to do a freestyle or
- 25:15Speaker 4: a song or whatever the case. But now it's a
- 25:17Speaker 4: little more. It's a little more tougher because it's like
- 25:19Speaker 4: you said, like the industry now is more so like
- 25:22Speaker 4: what you got going on more so than the music.
- 25:24Speaker 4: So yeah, you gotta kind of find it.
- 25:26Speaker 1: That's crazy. So nothing nobody motivates you now. Now, what's the.
- 25:31Speaker 7: Last sexy drill vibe?
- 25:34Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's New York. You know,
- 25:37Speaker 4: that's that's in the you know, that's in the in
- 25:38Speaker 4: the city. So that's like that vibe. But yeah, that's
- 25:42Speaker 4: you know, you gotta but that's me adapting to you
- 25:44Speaker 4: know what i mean, still trying to. I Oh, this
- 25:46Speaker 4: is what we're on. Let me finish it like this.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Like I've always been that type of person too, you
- 25:50Speaker 4: know what I mean, put in my own little style.
- 25:51Speaker 6: But no artists, but no one artist that you're listening
- 25:55Speaker 6: to that you're like, do you think real high right now?
- 25:58Speaker 4: I mean, I fuck with some people music, but like
- 26:02Speaker 4: motivating wise, because you know, I'd be more in my
- 26:07Speaker 4: lyrical mindset so that I like lyrically I need somebody
- 26:10Speaker 4: to motivate me songs and stuff. I can listen to anything,
- 26:13Speaker 4: kind of pull what I could from there, but like
- 26:16Speaker 4: to make me go and do a freestyle?
- 26:19Speaker 3: No, no, what do you think a whole reestyle would did?
- 26:21Speaker 3: At the roots that didn't motivate you a little bit?
- 26:22Speaker 2: Just back to the boss nah mm hmmm, shout out.
- 26:26Speaker 8: The whole though, But we're getting individual because he was
- 26:30Speaker 8: specific with that, like he was direct at somebody that
- 26:33Speaker 8: ain't really I mean, but then it.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Was like spoken words. Yeah, it was kind of like yeah,
- 26:38Speaker 4: because I snapped after.
- 26:40Speaker 5: That's an interesting perspective from an artist because I like
- 26:42Speaker 5: when people are very personal with it. But you say,
- 26:45Speaker 5: sometimes people can be a little too personal. So you
- 26:48Speaker 5: said that he was specific, Yeah, he was.
- 26:51Speaker 4: Was he going that people? He was kind of going that.
- 26:54Speaker 4: It wasn't like hold on some like you know, a
- 26:56Speaker 4: whole I'm back outside type hole. It was more so
- 26:58Speaker 4: like let me talk to these got you? I mean?
- 27:01Speaker 4: So that was like his well he had going on, if.
- 27:05Speaker 5: You don't chase you you've never chased trends, right, But
- 27:07Speaker 5: nowadays if you don't chase trends, it feels like has
- 27:10Speaker 5: authenticity become like a disadvantage in the music business Sometimes.
- 27:18Speaker 4: I think it's always kind of been like that, though
- 27:20Speaker 4: I think you only got a few that's kind of
- 27:22Speaker 4: like different or standing out. A lot of people always
- 27:26Speaker 4: kind of follow trends and stuff like that. I mean
- 27:29Speaker 4: that was kind of always a thing. Yeah, I don't
- 27:32Speaker 4: think it's I think it's probably it's probably more saturated now,
- 27:35Speaker 4: but that's kind of always been a thing, you know,
- 27:37Speaker 4: you really you know, you had a lot of people that.
- 27:40Speaker 8: Was on this time and then you have majority over here.
- 27:43Speaker 8: So are you doing any music videos? You gonna say,
- 27:45Speaker 8: any visuals?
- 27:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I got I'm actually while I'm out here, I'm
- 27:49Speaker 4: shooting therapy. I'm shooting a video for therapy. I shot BBB,
- 27:54Speaker 4: but I ain't really ain't that. I ain't like it.
- 27:57Speaker 4: I didn't feel like it was complete, like need it more,
- 28:00Speaker 4: need a little more to the video. So I'm gonna
- 28:02Speaker 4: shoot more for that.
- 28:04Speaker 7: What's setting the BBB? We're the one you didn't really like?
- 28:07Speaker 7: Can you tell us?
- 28:09Speaker 4: Yeah? I shot it in Houston, okay.
- 28:11Speaker 7: But like club, like, what's about.
- 28:13Speaker 4: A pool party?
- 28:15Speaker 7: Okay?
- 28:15Speaker 4: Yeah, so it wasn't enough. It gave me petty walk,
- 28:18Speaker 4: and that's not really what I wanted, you know what
- 28:20Speaker 4: I mean, Like I wanted a little bit of petty walk,
- 28:22Speaker 4: but not straight petty walk. So it was giving me
- 28:24Speaker 4: that fill. So I feel like, nah, I gotta I
- 28:26Speaker 4: gotta do something. And then I did. I got the
- 28:28Speaker 4: dancer video. I bended that one like a few weeks ago,
- 28:31Speaker 4: so I got that one dropping actually towards like the
- 28:34Speaker 4: end of July.
