0:46
Speaker 1: my life. But I just haven't gotten past episode one.

1:01
Speaker 2: I'm not in season one?
1:02

1:06
Speaker 3: to know the storyline and where I come in. But
1:08
Speaker 3: season two, three, four, I mean and four is about
1:11
Speaker 3: to come out.
1:11
Speaker 1: Did you watch season one?
1:12
Speaker 2: I did, absolutely.
1:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. I got to the point where like, uh, like
1:16
Speaker 1: there's something with the cop and then like they're trying,
1:18
Speaker 1: like there's some letter that had to be written and
1:21
Speaker 1: they were like fucking up some dude in the cell.
1:24
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I got to that is on
1:26
Speaker 1: the list.
1:26
Speaker 3: Because Jeremie renders a g he's in real life too, Like,
1:30
Speaker 3: so you're on screen with him.
1:32
Speaker 2: In season three, I am.
1:33
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy.
1:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a dope dude.
1:36
Speaker 1: So yeah, he went to that crazy like snow sax Man.
1:39
Speaker 2: He came back from the dead crazy.
1:42
Speaker 3: And then so in season three, being on set with
1:46
Speaker 3: him was an experience because it's like, I'm aware of
1:50
Speaker 3: all of the things that on the production side they
1:52
Speaker 3: have to do to accommodate him. He's still recovering, right,
1:55
Speaker 3: you know, so even filming the show is part of
1:57
Speaker 3: his recovery, Like I need to get in the swing
1:59
Speaker 3: of things to stay in mon and my man got
2:01
Speaker 3: so much metal in him just from reconstructing his body.
2:04
Speaker 1: Like literally like came back from the dead, like.
2:06
Speaker 3: Literally, bro and so, but he's a beast man. They
2:10
Speaker 3: have a whole trailer dedicated to him and fitness and
2:12
Speaker 3: all this stuff.
2:13
Speaker 2: So he's on top of it. You know.
2:14
Speaker 3: Now my man probably doing one arm push ups and everything,
2:17
Speaker 3: you know. But but yeah, so doing scenes with him
2:21
Speaker 3: is like on.
2:22
Speaker 2: Set, he's super focused.
2:24
Speaker 3: I bet like like he's he's down, you know, the
2:26
Speaker 3: snap of picture. Everybody knows he's a star, but he's
2:30
Speaker 3: not gonna do the extra. He's not super social. I
2:33
Speaker 3: ran into him in Vegas at one of the boxes
2:35
Speaker 3: at one of the fights.
2:36
Speaker 2: My man was feeling itself. He was having a good time.
2:39
Speaker 3: He was like smoke, you know, and it was it
2:42
Speaker 3: was a whole different Jeremy when he's not working, you know.
2:44
Speaker 3: And of course his character Mike McCluskey is not a
2:47
Speaker 3: lighthearted dude, you know, so when he's in that mold,
2:51
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, people understand and respect it, you know,
2:54
Speaker 3: but but he's always like keeping it a hunting, always cool.
2:58
Speaker 1: Are you are you like enough with acting now?
3:01
Speaker 2: Is it something for definitely? Definitely?
3:04
Speaker 3: I feel like acting these people who can tell like
3:08
Speaker 3: our stories authentically. You know if I don't, if I
3:11
Speaker 3: don't play some of these roles, you're gonna have a
3:13
Speaker 3: great actor playing our roles. You feel me in the
3:17
Speaker 3: sense that like, like because my experience coming up in
3:22
Speaker 3: Inglewood is what it is, And not that I'm the
3:24
Speaker 3: only hood dude who's acting, but I know I lend
3:27
Speaker 3: something to the screen that I've seen other people do
3:31
Speaker 3: well at but not do justice in my opinion, right,
3:34
Speaker 3: you know so.
3:36
Speaker 2: And so? But I just love the process. It's a
3:39
Speaker 2: whole different muscle to flex.
3:41
Speaker 1: You know.
3:42
Speaker 3: Like then the music, music is like what do I
3:44
Speaker 3: want to say? Acting is like how do I bring
3:47
Speaker 3: life to these words and to this fictional character?
3:50
Speaker 2: You know so?
3:51
Speaker 3: And of course I've done acting since I was like
3:54
Speaker 3: fifteen years old, you know.
3:56
Speaker 2: Tasha Smith got me into acting.
3:58
Speaker 1: As a kid.
3:59
Speaker 3: My first like two three years, I didn't book anything.
4:02
Speaker 3: Once I started booking, it was like, you know, on
4:05
Speaker 3: and Pop and I was doing Judging Amy.
4:07
Speaker 2: The District, Boston Public CSI.
4:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember Boston Public.
4:12
Speaker 2: Boston Public.
4:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go out in Boston Surprise right, shot
4:16
Speaker 3: in La Crazy so liars Crazy.
4:22
Speaker 1: So you've been doing a lot, like you said, you're
4:24
Speaker 1: dropping singles. I know you've switched situations. Obviously you were
4:28
Speaker 1: with Empire for a while and now you're with Snoop.
4:32
Speaker 2: Absolutely death Row, Yes, death Row.
4:34
Speaker 3: And it's funny because on your show is when he
4:36
Speaker 3: first was like, man, I wanna I want d Smoke
4:39
Speaker 3: to be on on death Row, you know, and.
4:42
Speaker 2: It's not our first time doing business.
4:43
Speaker 1: Of course, you guys had a famous on screen moment.
4:46
Speaker 1: Absolutely he asked you where you were from?
4:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
4:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that was his first you know,
4:53
Speaker 3: expression of I see something in this kid.
4:56
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
4:57
Speaker 3: Everybody we were in LA shooting LA auditions, so it's
5:00
Speaker 3: not like, hey, where'd you grow up? Everybody from LA,
5:03
Speaker 3: you know for that round, but it was like, now
5:06
Speaker 3: where you you know where you're from? Like, what what
5:10
Speaker 3: is this that produced what I see in you? You
5:12
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying that I recognize it myself, you
5:15
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So I always took it as
5:18
Speaker 3: a nod, But of course in the moment, it's like,
5:21
Speaker 3: you know, it's like a little bit of tension, you
5:23
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, just because it's like, oh, we're
5:25
Speaker 3: gonna do this on TV. Because I'm used to this.
5:28
Speaker 3: It didn't the cameras disappeared, you know, as far as
5:31
Speaker 3: I was like that can happen at a gas station
5:33
Speaker 3: exactly exactly, yeah, yeah, so but ultimately it's a nod,
5:38
Speaker 3: you know, Like and since he's been super supportive without
5:43
Speaker 3: asking for anything, Snoop called me like, hey, nephew, I
5:47
Speaker 3: need to I need you to write me a Spanish verse,
5:48
Speaker 3: you know, and by damn mess right, you know, he's like,
5:51
Speaker 3: gave my least on even when I'm at home. You know,
5:54
Speaker 3: I'm writing his Spanglish raps and stuff. Even when we
5:57
Speaker 3: did got Spartianga. You know, he pulled up in ing
6:00
Speaker 3: Would on Queen Street. You know, all the bloods outside.

Speaker 3: He's like, come on, nephew. Like he pulled up with
6:05
Speaker 3: the with the you know, the food truck, paid for
6:11
Speaker 3: it for the whole day. You know what I'm saying,
6:13
Speaker 3: Track Kitchen pulled up to Inglewood, fed the hood. It
6:16
Speaker 3: was just love, you know, and it was him showing
6:18
Speaker 3: me what per his words, he was like, I'm gonna
6:20
Speaker 3: show you how to solidify your legacy.
6:22
Speaker 2: So it was.
6:23
Speaker 3: Always like I'm an ally, I'm an asset, and I
6:27
Speaker 3: don't necessarily want nothing from you. So by the time

7:12
Speaker 3: He was always the one that kind of drove us
7:15
Speaker 3: in the direction of pursuing music, you know, and things
7:19
Speaker 3: just turned out that Sir got to look from TD
7:22
Speaker 3: right however it transpires.
7:24
Speaker 1: But uh, being as pretty close to the situation as
7:28
Speaker 1: you are, how cool was it to see, uh, you know,
7:32
Speaker 1: the last fourteen months or so Kendrick Lamar.
7:37
Speaker 2: I mean, well, one, I'm not as close as well.
7:41

Speaker 2: For It's not like I'm getting. I'm not getting. I'm
7:49

7:50
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I'm going to be cool.
7:52
Speaker 1: I mean, like, just give me your I mean from
7:54
Speaker 1: a fans perspective.
7:55
Speaker 3: From okay, from a fans perspective, I know. I mean
7:57
Speaker 3: I thought you were saying, what's the inside school.
7:59
Speaker 1: No, it just means like it just had to be cool,
8:02
Speaker 1: like damn, like this is.
8:03
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just.
8:06
Speaker 3: It's inspiring from a from a music standpoint, right, I'm
8:11
Speaker 3: not tripping off the beef.
8:12
Speaker 2: I let growing man handle the ship how they want
8:14
Speaker 2: to do that.
8:15
Speaker 3: But the fact that that the West is having a moment,
8:20
Speaker 3: you know, because it's never It's not like we stopped
8:23
Speaker 3: being us.
8:23
Speaker 2: We didn't stop making great music.
8:25
Speaker 3: We didn't stop you know, being dope and having artists
8:28
Speaker 3: that pushed the line and choose to be different. It's
8:31
Speaker 3: just that depending on the times, there are different seasons
8:34
Speaker 3: in music. You know, when the South had it, you know,
8:36
Speaker 3: and it was a little Little John and the Yin
8:38
Speaker 3: Yang Twins. You couldn't tell nobody nothing, you know what
8:40
Speaker 3: I'm saying when t Payne had it.
8:42
Speaker 2: You you know.
8:43
Speaker 3: And so it's dope to be to live in a
8:47
Speaker 3: moment where it's like, oh, West West, It's our time again.
8:50
Speaker 2: You know.
8:52
Speaker 3: It was funny because I've done the Hollywood Bowl twice
8:55
Speaker 3: in the past couple of years, and the night that
8:58
Speaker 3: Kendrick did to pop out in Inglewood, I was doing
9:02
Speaker 3: the Hollywood Bowl. So from my phone, I'm watching this
9:05
Speaker 3: Kendrick say what's up Inglewood, and I'm like, oh, It's
9:10
Speaker 3: like bittersweet. I'm proud, but I'm like having the biggest
9:14
Speaker 3: show of my life.
9:15
Speaker 2: You know. That night in particular, I was opening for
9:17
Speaker 2: Ta Pain.
9:18
Speaker 3: And then you know, another night I did, uh, I
9:21
Speaker 3: was rocked with Derek Hodge at a jazz festival.
9:24
Speaker 2: You know. So, but but that was an interesting.
9:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was like a Snoop was saying that like
9:32
Speaker 1: him and DJ Quick were like on a They're in
9:35
Speaker 1: Canada the night of the pop out, and they were
9:37
Speaker 1: just like both just like had fomo, like, bro, is
9:42
Speaker 1: that right Canada?
9:43
Speaker 2: Right?
9:43
Speaker 1: Yeah?
9:44
Speaker 3: I was across right, across town trying to figure out
9:47
Speaker 3: and you know, I feel like he announced it so
9:50
Speaker 3: quick and packed it out instantly.
9:52
Speaker 2: But it was like I just I was like, man,
9:56
Speaker 2: what time is it?
9:57
Speaker 3: I was still trying to when I heard it was
9:59
Speaker 3: about that, I was like, he win's my set time?
10:01
Speaker 3: Like it's like, bro, you late. You know what I'm saying,
10:04

10:27
Speaker 1: odd Socks is doing is they're kind of reinventing the

Speaker 1: sock game, if we're being honest, and the underwear game.
10:31
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times you'll hit Walmart, you'll
10:33
Speaker 1: hit Target, you'll get some socks, you get some draws.
10:36

Speaker 1: they got the six pack of socks for fourteen ninety
11:18
Speaker 1: nine at odd socks dot com. The basics, this is
11:20
Speaker 1: the future of socks, the future of underwear comfort and affordability.
11:26
Speaker 1: I'm talking about affordability without jeopardizing the quality because they

Speaker 1: are the most comfortable socks you ever put on your feet.
11:32
Speaker 1: Ladies and gents and the Etcetera's got to show love

Speaker 1: There are odd socks dot com. Man, much love to
11:41
Speaker 1: my brothers over there. Make sure you get some right now,
11:43
Speaker 1: odd socks dot com. Let's get back to the interview,
11:45
Speaker 1: because I feel like death rows having a super dope moment.
11:49
Speaker 1: Jane's dope. Obviously October is going crazy. Uh you know,
11:54
Speaker 1: I feel like they're this this new Death Rows is high.
11:58
Speaker 1: I mean we had a dog Penalty, we had the
12:00
Speaker 1: east side of this project. The last Snoop album he
12:03
Speaker 1: just kind of just dropped on us was crazy.
12:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, corrupt, that's something crazy.
12:11
Speaker 1: But I'm just curious, like for you, like, what was
12:13
Speaker 1: it about outside of it just being Snoop, you know,
12:16
Speaker 1: someone who supported you throughout your career, of someone's party story,
12:19
Speaker 1: but what was it about, like what's going on with
12:21
Speaker 1: death Row that just like was like, yo, this makes sense.
12:24
Speaker 3: A big part of it is that one Death Row
12:27
Speaker 3: is musical, you know. Today is what's brilliant about how
12:32
Speaker 3: Snoop is leading the ship in a sense is that
12:35
Speaker 3: they're not trying.
12:36
Speaker 2: To recreate the old Death Row right. You know what
12:38
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
12:39
Speaker 3: The artists from a different era that are still creating
12:43
Speaker 3: that are still dope, They're still they're there, they're still
12:46
Speaker 3: putting out music. However, the younger artists, you know what
12:49
Speaker 3: I'm saying, the October London's the Jans, you know, you know,
12:53
Speaker 3: they're making music like with live instrumentation, with soul, with
12:57
Speaker 3: all that stuff. So I'm kind of a bridge between
13:01
Speaker 3: that and rap and new rap, you know, or or
13:05
Speaker 3: mid age, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not
13:07
Speaker 3: I'm not the youngsters, but you know, I'm seasoned, but
13:10
Speaker 3: I'm still you know, active, you know so, And also
13:15
Speaker 3: I think it's me understanding what I contribute to it.
13:18
Speaker 3: It's not so much like what are y'all doing that
13:20
Speaker 3: I could benefit from. It's like the relationship is is important.
13:25
Speaker 3: It happening organically, like some of my album was created there.
13:28
Speaker 3: I have you know, Jane on the album. You know
13:31
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Snoop is on the album. So by
13:34
Speaker 3: the time the conversations happened, it's like, look, what's what's
13:37
Speaker 3: the other stuff that we need to discuss? Like the
13:40
Speaker 3: fit is already there, we don't it's a no brainer.
13:43
Speaker 3: You know, what are what is our agreement so that
13:45
Speaker 3: we could move forward with it? And it's the biggest
13:49
Speaker 3: you know, it's love because you know, my agreement with
13:53
Speaker 3: Snoop is not too different from my agreement with you know, Empire,
13:58
Speaker 3: and that I get to after a certain amount of time,
14:01
Speaker 3: you know, keep my ownership and all things.
14:03
Speaker 2: It's a partnership.
14:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and and that's why I can forever,
14:08
Speaker 3: you know, look at my time with Empire and nod
14:11
Speaker 3: to them, like I respect those guys and it's much
14:14
Speaker 3: love because one day they rolled for me, like in
14:18
Speaker 3: so many ways. We went overseas together, Grammy nominated all
14:23
Speaker 3: the you know, all the beautiful stuff, and that part
14:25
Speaker 3: of my career was fueled by you know, their support.
14:29
Speaker 3: So that's the kind of relationships I want to keep
14:33
Speaker 3: building where it's like I keep ownership and we can build,
14:37
Speaker 3: you know, and learn from east that we take.
14:40
Speaker 1: Are you because you've I feel like the last five
14:44
Speaker 1: or six years you've you've I mean, there's a few
14:47
Speaker 1: other really dope artists who put dope visuals together, but
14:50
Speaker 1: I feel like your top tier in that combo when
14:52
Speaker 1: it comes to just amazing visuals. Now that you're acting
14:56
Speaker 1: and ship do you is your is you were like
14:58
Speaker 1: appetite for like how crazier videos got to be? Just
15:01
Speaker 1: be like is it that much more crazy because you're
15:04
Speaker 1: all like these movie sets.
15:05
Speaker 3: And shit, it's yes and no, Like my thing is now,
15:10
Speaker 3: you know, you know, they say like if you want
15:13
Speaker 3: to do something well and fast, it's not going to
15:15
Speaker 3: be cheap. If you want to do if you want
15:18
Speaker 3: to make it cheap and it done well, it's going
15:21
Speaker 3: to take a long amount of time. Right, So during
15:23
Speaker 3: that season, during that season, rhythm and flow hit.
15:27
Speaker 2: Yep, shit was happening fast.
15:30
Speaker 3: We didn't know we were up against a beginning pandemic,
15:33
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But it was like the
15:35
Speaker 3: speed at which we had to move meant that we
15:37
Speaker 3: spent a lot of money on those visuals, you know.
15:41
Speaker 3: So now it's like, how do we wn How do
15:45
Speaker 3: I get my hands and feet a little more dirty
15:47
Speaker 3: in the production of these videos so that I can
15:49
Speaker 3: achieve that quality and save.
15:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, save some bread.
15:54
Speaker 3: So so the short answer is, yes, we want to
15:57
Speaker 3: continue making high quality videos, but it's how you know,
16:01
Speaker 3: if we're gonna spend the type of money we spent
16:03
Speaker 3: back then, it's gonna be like, you know, we better
16:06
Speaker 3: be coming out with a film.
16:08
Speaker 1: Some of the videos, some of the videos you are dropping.
16:10
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, this can't be. This can't be
16:13
Speaker 1: less than like thirty grand twenty, like you were putting
16:16
Speaker 1: bro Hell, no, what was the one you had like
16:18
Speaker 1: on the old school bus and you had like the sixties.
16:21
Speaker 2: Cel you're talking about it. Oh, yeah, that that shit
16:23
Speaker 2: was tight.
16:23
Speaker 3: That was a honey Jack, Yes, honey, it was crazy.
16:27
Speaker 3: Honeyjack is one of my favorite It's movies. They're movies,
16:31
Speaker 3: you know, and that's by a child, the director named Child.
16:34
Speaker 2: She's incredible.
16:35
Speaker 1: You linked up with Larrussell. What is it like? L Russell?
16:39
Speaker 1: I feel like it's doing a lot of good work
16:42
Speaker 1: to kind of just change. I feel like the way
16:43
Speaker 1: people think about our approach to be an independent artistry,
16:47
Speaker 1: you know, content just a concerts, a lot. She's just
16:51
Speaker 1: doing a lot. Like what was it like? Connecting with him?
16:54
Speaker 3: Being around l Russell is super inspiring, you know what
16:57
Speaker 3: I'm saying. L Russell has a fresh energy, a youthful
17:01
Speaker 3: spirit and h but he's a dog in the sense
17:04
Speaker 3: that you know, he's working and he's a Bouti's movement
17:07
Speaker 3: and he's honest, you know what I'm saying, Like in
17:10
Speaker 3: the moment, like if he don't fuck with it, he
17:12
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, Hey, let's show up,
17:14
Speaker 3: let's get it done because we on a time crunch,
17:16
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So, but there's respect, like
17:19
Speaker 3: we he pulled up to my house and recorded that verse.
17:23
Speaker 3: You know, I engineered that myself, you know, so brought
17:27
Speaker 3: his whole team to the house. You know. Then we
17:28
Speaker 3: did another song and Mike the you know, Mike the
17:31
Speaker 3: piano in my house, like so like his his movement
17:37
Speaker 3: is something that I admire as much as his art.
17:40
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, he could be himself, but
17:42
Speaker 3: he's he's taking all the right risks and doing stuff
17:47
Speaker 3: and breaking rules, you know, the things that people.
17:49
Speaker 2: Feel like they got to do.
17:50
Speaker 3: He's like, no drop dropping value the rollout, don't got
17:53
Speaker 3: to be crazy. You know what I'm saying, keep dropping
17:56
Speaker 3: And the irony is that what got me on rich
18:00
Speaker 3: them and flowing all these big moments is that I
18:01
Speaker 3: had that same mentality, like every week y'all getting something new,
18:05
Speaker 3: a visual and a new song.
18:06
Speaker 2: And you know what I'm saying, so big salute to him.
18:09
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying Now, I don't as where
18:12
Speaker 3: I am now, I don't share the same model.
18:16
Speaker 2: My business model is not the same.
18:17
Speaker 1: And that yeah, with anything, not every shoe fits the
18:20
Speaker 1: same you know for everybody.
18:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, you know, and you know I still
18:25
Speaker 3: I'm close enough to certain TD to learn from. Their
18:27
Speaker 3: model is extremely different too.
18:29
Speaker 1: It's like you're kind of like the extreme other side
18:31
Speaker 1: of the spectrum exclusivity mystique.
18:33
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, and I believe in it.
18:35
Speaker 3: The beauty of that is you get these you get
18:38
Speaker 3: time off, you know what I'm saying, And of course
18:41
Speaker 3: you're working during the time off, but it's time.
18:43
Speaker 2: Out of the out of this sie. Yes, yes, you
18:46
Speaker 2: know so. And that's what I've been doing on this.
18:50
Speaker 3: Like what's crazy is it hasn't been that I haven't
18:54
Speaker 3: had enough music to put out an album any one year.
18:56
Speaker 3: I got five six albums worth of material. But it's
19:00
Speaker 3: what the cycle that you have to get in to
19:02
Speaker 3: put it out is a whole different muscle, you know
19:05
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Whether it's like all right, let's shoot
19:07
Speaker 3: enough visuals, let's get enough content collected, let's whatever, or

20:19
Speaker 1: Do you feel like nowadays it's like fans, I feel
20:24
Speaker 1: like they have I mean, obviously it's they've had a
20:26
Speaker 1: short attention span for a long time. But in terms
20:29
Speaker 1: of like when you kind of go away for a while,
20:33
Speaker 1: it feels like fans have a tendency to kind of
20:35
Speaker 1: move on, oh for sure, and like find the new
20:38
Speaker 1: for sure and be like is that something that you're
20:42
Speaker 1: conscientious of? And and have you noticed that? Like fans
20:45
Speaker 1: will like hit you like, yo, when when are we
20:47
Speaker 1: getting There's been a minute.
20:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:49
Speaker 3: What I noticed is that it took it took getting
20:53
Speaker 3: well into the rollout for people to all the way
20:55
Speaker 3: catch on. You got core fans, and you got not
20:59
Speaker 3: as core, then you got the waste, the you know,
21:04
Speaker 3: by the wayside. Once you know what I'm saying, And
21:06
Speaker 3: I don't fault nobody for being whatever. I just want
21:08
Speaker 3: to you know know who's who. But but yeah, when
21:12
Speaker 3: I first dropped a single, they was like, oh shit,
21:14
Speaker 3: this is dope, you know, And you can almost sense
21:16
Speaker 3: that some people are like, Okay, he doing it, he
21:18
Speaker 3: doing something again. Then then you drop another one, they're
21:21
Speaker 3: like oh shit, a third one, then the freestyle.
21:23
Speaker 2: Then finally they're like, oh it's happening.
21:26
Speaker 3: Like but it's like it's like y'all will commend it
21:29
Speaker 3: at the first move, but y'all won't really buy in until.
21:33
Speaker 1: What was the first record, No Passes, No Passes.
21:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're like, Okay, this is dope. Right, it's
21:38
Speaker 3: like salute good stuff, you know what else. Right Whereas
21:42
Speaker 3: when you know, when I was coming up, it's like
21:43
Speaker 3: I could obsess, you know, because one my uh, my
21:48
Speaker 3: taste wasn't inundated with social media stimulation and all this stuff.
21:52
Speaker 3: It was like music meant a lot more to us
21:54
Speaker 3: coming up. Then I think it means to people now,
21:57
Speaker 3: you know, and so so now until they see that
22:02
Speaker 3: it's a movement like Larussell, until they see that it's
22:05
Speaker 3: a part of a bigger thing, you know, they don't
22:08
Speaker 3: fully buy into it.
22:09
Speaker 2: And that's just a reality that.
22:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like some weird mental shit. It's almost like, uh,
22:13
Speaker 1: you know, I had saw that. I don't know, I
22:16
Speaker 1: don't think they're doing it anymore. But like Spotify was
22:19
Speaker 1: like flirting with like removing the play counts on people's profiles,
22:23
Speaker 1: which because I feel like fans will like, you could
22:27
Speaker 1: send somebody some shit and if they go to the
22:29
Speaker 1: person's Spotify profile just mentally, if it doesn't look like
22:32
Speaker 1: the artist is lit and you hadn't heard of them already.
22:35
Speaker 1: They're they're just be like, I'm.
22:36
Speaker 3: Good, right, because it doesn't in their mind, it doesn't
22:39
Speaker 3: give them social currency.
22:41
Speaker 2: Like they feel like they're more valuable.
22:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you used to be able to like, Yo,
22:44
Speaker 1: I'm going to fucking two dope boys and I find
22:46
Speaker 1: some random fucking artists that you know, these fools posted or.
22:50
Speaker 2: But it's two types of people though. It's two types
22:52
Speaker 2: of people.
22:53
Speaker 3: It's people that listen because it's popular, so that they're
22:56
Speaker 3: not they're not missing out, you know, due to this
22:59
Speaker 3: phone you know, sensitivity. And then it's people who are
23:03
Speaker 3: like completely subscribe to a different way viewing it, that
23:07
Speaker 3: are still looking for the song that's theirs, Like, Okay,
23:09
Speaker 3: even if you're a popular artist, let me find number
23:12
Speaker 3: eleven on the album, and.
23:15
Speaker 1: It's not the single that's mine.
23:17
Speaker 3: And not only is that mine is mine because of
23:19
Speaker 3: this one line in verse three that I'm gonna know
23:23
Speaker 3: better than anybody else, you know, so, and that's a
23:26
Speaker 3: lot of times as artists, we got to remember to
23:28
Speaker 3: speak to those people, you know what I'm saying. So
23:32
Speaker 3: for that reason, my song with Jane Hancock is one
23:34
Speaker 3: of my favorite songs, you know, Count Your Blessings. It's
23:36
Speaker 3: like that's gonna be somebody's favorite for different reasons than
23:40
Speaker 3: a No Passes.
23:41
Speaker 2: Or any single that I might have.
23:43
Speaker 1: What is do you have a date for the album yet?
23:47
Speaker 1: August twenty sixth, coming soon right now?
23:50
Speaker 2: Real song? It is upon us?
23:53
Speaker 1: It is upon us? What is the latest with the
23:58
Speaker 1: Broadway Gym? We went and shot a little thing over there,
24:01

24:48
Speaker 1: hate tell them.
24:49
Speaker 2: None of them. They don't want it. They don't want it.
24:52
Speaker 1: I feel like they might act like they want it
24:54
Speaker 1: until they do a little bit of research and they're like.
24:56
Speaker 3: They just going Their best bet is to try to
24:58

29:48
Speaker 1: the name of the album?
29:50
Speaker 2: Wake Upsuper?
29:51
Speaker 1: Okay, wake Up Souper? Explain?
29:55
Speaker 3: Wake Upsuper is is? How do I put this but
30:03
Speaker 3: gangsters and lovers. It's an awakening, you know what I'm saying.
30:08
Speaker 3: Like it's inglewood. It's got a lot of heart and soul,
30:13
Speaker 3: and it's me taking people on my journey through you know,
30:16
Speaker 3: one stepping back outside and focusing on music in a
30:19
Speaker 3: way that starts to feel like myself again. And then
30:23
Speaker 3: it's also sharing the stories. You know, last year I
30:25
Speaker 3: lost my mom and so the family, all of our family,
30:29
Speaker 3: Sir and Daveon were on tour when that happened, and
30:31
Speaker 3: so we all went through that. So taking people through
30:34
Speaker 3: what we experienced, but you know, showing them the light
30:38
Speaker 3: on the other side. Like the music on this album
30:40
Speaker 3: is just like unmatched. Like I produced half of the project.
30:45
Speaker 3: You know, this is on Black Habits. I did some
30:48
Speaker 3: of my favorite stuff, but just a couple of them.
30:51
Speaker 3: I did Black Habits too, and I did I did
30:54
Speaker 3: Closer to God, I think those are the ones I did.
30:58
Speaker 3: And then on on War On Wonders, I might have
31:00
Speaker 3: done some additional production like instrumental, you know, instruments and
31:04
Speaker 3: all that stuff. But but this one is one that
31:09
Speaker 3: I intentionally said, like because I started off producing. I've
31:12
Speaker 3: been producing since I was ten years old. Rap is
31:14
Speaker 3: something like probably sixteen seventeen. I started doing more in
31:18
Speaker 3: my twenties. I got real serious about it, So I'm
31:21
Speaker 3: technically a late bloomer. Like at Inglewood High, it was
31:23
Speaker 3: more me making beats and getting in the boxing gloves,
31:26
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, sir. Before he started singing,
31:29
Speaker 3: it was basketball, you know. Davion was the one that
31:32
Speaker 3: started just music, you know, all together.
31:35
Speaker 1: So for you, you know, did you were you Were
31:40
Speaker 1: you able to dedicate anything to your mom on this album,
31:42
Speaker 1: like a specific rib.
31:43
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely so.
31:44
Speaker 3: I have a song called good Morning that's dedicated to her.
31:48
Speaker 3: It's so much her voices on a song with me
31:51
Speaker 3: and Bja the Chicago Kick called Proud of You. You know,
31:53
Speaker 3: I got messages from her that that I saved. And
31:57
Speaker 3: so it's probably three that are like that deal with
32:01
Speaker 3: that very situation. One from the standpoint one I wrote
32:04
Speaker 3: while she was in the hospital, while we were still
32:06
Speaker 3: hopeful that she.
32:07
Speaker 2: Got better, you know what I'm saying.
32:08
Speaker 3: And then good Morning was like talking to her from
32:12
Speaker 3: the other side, you know. And then proud of You
32:15
Speaker 3: was like, you know, the full circle moment of you know,
32:19
Speaker 3: hearing I got a voice message from her for that
32:22
Speaker 3: song before the accident all together, like letting you know
32:26
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you, know what I'm saying.
32:27
Speaker 2: So, yeah, did.
32:30
Speaker 1: You listen to the intro to the Clips album?
32:34
Speaker 2: Yes?
32:34
Speaker 1: I did.
32:34
Speaker 2: I got to go back and listen to it if
32:35
Speaker 2: you better.
32:36
Speaker 1: The song is like each each like maliceon Push, each
32:41
Speaker 1: do a verse about they lost both their parents in
32:43
Speaker 1: the same time. So it's like they each like one
32:48
Speaker 1: of them is doing a verse about their their mom
32:50
Speaker 1: and the other ones universe about their dad.
32:52
Speaker 3: It's crazy, yeah, and it's wild because you don't before
32:57
Speaker 3: something like this happens. You don't realize it's people everywhere
33:00
Speaker 3: who walk around with this carrying it for sure. It
33:03
Speaker 3: never goes away, you know what I'm saying. You know,
33:06
Speaker 3: different people have different relationships with their parents. I was
33:09
Speaker 3: fortunate enough to be really close with my mom, right
33:11
Speaker 3: you know, but it you know. I talked to Snoop,
33:14
Speaker 3: you know Snoop and half there. They was like, bro,
33:16
Speaker 3: welcome to the club, Like it's the club nobody wants
33:18
Speaker 3: to join. But you realize that it's a lot of
33:21
Speaker 3: people in it, you know, because the only alternative is
33:24
Speaker 3: to go before your parents, which is not common, and
33:27
Speaker 3: which is exactly because it's not natural. It's there's a
33:35
Speaker 3: part of it that's natural to bury a parent.
33:37
Speaker 1: Yet to do a record on his last album where
33:40
Speaker 1: he's talking about like the the non Porter Joint, we're
33:44
Speaker 1: talking about losing like his best friend, and it was
33:47
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, bro, like deep record. What has been?
33:50
Speaker 1: Like you said earlier, Snoop had kind of told you
33:53
Speaker 1: this is kind of how you protect your legacy. This
33:56
Speaker 1: is like what are what is some of the game
33:58
Speaker 1: that he's given you? Since you guys have kind of
34:00
Speaker 1: made things official and been working closely.
34:02
Speaker 3: I mean, it's always been through demonstration. It's never been
34:07
Speaker 3: sit down like here are the ten rules, rule one
34:10
Speaker 3: always do.
34:10
Speaker 2: It was it wasn't that kind of thing.
34:12
Speaker 1: It was.
34:13
Speaker 3: It was more like I'm gonna I'm gonna show you
34:16
Speaker 3: what it looks like and and what he's demonstrated is
34:20
Speaker 3: being true, you know what I'm saying, regardless of.
34:22
Speaker 2: Where you at.
34:23
Speaker 3: And the biggest takeaway from from working with Snoop is
34:27
Speaker 3: that everybody around him understands the level of demand that
34:31
Speaker 3: he's under as one of the most famous rappers ever,
34:34
Speaker 3: famous people, the most famous people ever.
34:37
Speaker 1: He is the most famous rapper ever. That's a fact,
34:39
Speaker 1: got you right?
34:40
Speaker 2: Worldwide?
34:40
Speaker 1: But famous person he's he's top five. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,
34:44
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy.
34:45
Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg.
34:45
Speaker 3: You can go anywhere in the world, the farthest corner
34:48
Speaker 3: and tribe and it's you know, but he has a
34:52
Speaker 3: way of being more present than some of some people
34:56
Speaker 3: that you might know that I ain't, that don't do
34:59
Speaker 3: nothing with their life.
35:00
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. If he's in a room
35:01
Speaker 2: with you.
35:02
Speaker 3: He's as curious about you, as present with you as
35:05
Speaker 3: anybody can be. And it just shows you that he's
35:08
Speaker 3: still learning, he's still applying himself, he's still showing up,
35:11
Speaker 3: you know. And if he could do it with that
35:14
Speaker 3: level of demand that he's under, then we an't got
35:17
Speaker 3: no excuse.
35:18
Speaker 1: Yeah nobody, yeah. And if he can do it without
35:19
Speaker 1: being a deck period.
35:21
Speaker 3: And he's giving you know what I'm saying, like of himself,
35:24
Speaker 3: and and you know, he got a vision and he's
35:29
Speaker 3: a hundred percent behind that, but you know he could
35:32
Speaker 3: also be cut through, you know.
35:33
Speaker 2: And that's what I've learned about some a.
35:35
Speaker 3: Lot of people I respect and cut through for the
35:37
Speaker 3: right reasons.
35:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, not to be cruel, but sometimes, you got everyone
35:40
Speaker 1: has to have boundaries, Everyone has to.
35:42
Speaker 3: Have exactly exactly you know what I'm saying. And I've
35:45
Speaker 3: seen him go into different molds. You know what I'm saying.
35:47
Speaker 3: When it's when it's Snoop Dogg, mold, you know, not
35:50
Speaker 3: not unc, not Uncle Snoop when it's like dog and
35:55
Speaker 3: so you know it's for me, it's like, all right,
