• 3:26
  Speaker 5: that were entrepreneurs, hard work and successful women.

• 3:38
  Speaker 5: she passed away. This was years ago.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I was young.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: So I just kind of grew up in like the
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: surroundings of just women like always leveling up, you know, businesses,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: just seeing women be really profound, like taking care of
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: themselves always.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: You know, I didn't see like you know, I need.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I didn't see like that. I didn't see like the
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: women I grew up around. I didn't really see them
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: sit around and wait for anything hat. No, it was
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: they were the hands. They were the hands that was
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: handing out, you know. They was the bosses. They was
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: the you know, the women in the nice cars with
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: the nice business the nice home. This is the stuff
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I saw growing up all the time, all around me.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: So all my friends, this is what we aspire to be,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Like these women, how can we have our own money?
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I want my own car, art, Like this is the
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: stuff that I, you know, wanted to see. So I
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: always that was before I even became you guys know me, Like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm from Miami. This is a big place,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: so everybody already knew who I was just because of
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: my upbringing. And then when I decided to do music,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: it just made it like, you know, like ten times
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: even more intense.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: But I already had that vision.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Like when I started doing music, I fell in love
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: with the women that were like, oh my god, this
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: is you make me you know happy?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Or that song did?
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: It got me through my heartbreak and I wanted to
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: just kill my husband and I just listened to you
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: and I just so much of that. And I used
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: to be like, you know, like wow, you know, like
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: my husband cheated and I gave him a chance. I'm
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: not giving them more chances. So I was the one
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: that was like, you know, wow, more power, the strength,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the hugs, the love and the energy, the attitude, the
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: you know, the determination to be able to walk and
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: stand on your own. And I just that was how
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I set myself up. Like everything I did, I wanted
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: to do it. I wanted to make sure that my
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: affairs was in order. I had everything that I needed.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I had my own everything, and my business was organized
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: like it was dropping to start, like you know, from
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: the start, like I mean, it's music, it's fun, we
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: travel and we performing, but that's still a business. Like
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I never got so caught up in the fun to
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I didn't understand the business. That's why twenty plus years later,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: I'm here because I understood the business from the beginning.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: And I tell a lot of girls now, like you
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: know that ask me for advice and stuff.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I tell them that, like it's all fun.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: You go out, you know, you got your wanes, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: in the club, you pop in bodies, You having a
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: good time, and you're supposed to have a good time.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: You're young, you live in life, and we only get
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: one life. But you need to be really precise, ideal,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: and strategic about your business, making sure that you are
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: setting the ground for yourself, making sure you have for yourself,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: making sure you don't run into a brick wall, and everything.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: The door is closed and you're like, what all happened?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: The whole start went away?
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: No, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta understand that this
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: is still a business, even though for us it's still
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: it's a it's a craft. It's art and people adore it,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: you know, and you do it for as long as
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: you feel until you say I don't want to do.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It no more.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Sure, And that's still like running a business. I work
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: for self. Guy is self employed. Die must get up
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: for self and run and handle her business. So that's
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: just now I kind of started.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So as you as you talk this boss talk, I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: love it. I love it, which is very exciting.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: You.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You you you had the foresight in terms of understanding,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you know, to make sure the business was taken care of,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to be on top of your business. But I feel
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: like also you would unders you understood all levels of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the music business even before you even kind of embarked
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: on it. So choosing to be a rapper was definitely
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a concise choice because coming from from these these these
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: uh these boss inspirations who owned you could could have
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: easily chose management or just be part of a label,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: or just be like you could have chosen all those things.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: What made you choose to be in front of the
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: microphone too?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Because I felt like I was a star.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: This is the main thing is the main So I
• 8:01

• 10:14
  Speaker 5: That was kind of like me doing a favor for Trick.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: It wasn't really like it turned into a record, But
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: that's not initially what it started out as started out,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: as you know, before I even heard the record, Trick
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: was like kind of on the phone, kind of like
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: just talking, rapping whatever he was going to say on.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Can I go back to you? And Trick getting on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the phone. How do y'all meet?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Is this?
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: I met Trick when I was in school, like way younger.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: We was in school, but Trick ended up going to jail,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: so I've never seen him in more until he was
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: out of jail.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: He was growing.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: But this was way years later, and I think like
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: six seven years after. And then he always will say
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: he wanted the music. He wanted to rap so bad,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: and like all of our girls, he will always be
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: rapping and stuff. We'd be like, okay, already shop a deal.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: We're not a record label like already, and so once
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: he got out of jail, he really like all the
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: raps that he was rapping up in jail or whatever.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: He brought it a lot.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: And then he went directly to Luke to go do
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: music and he did a song. He did his whole
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: thing over there, and then after that he got signed
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: to stip in Slode Records, and then it was like, okay,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you elevate.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: You moved from one thing to the next.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: And then he had put out an album on slip
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: and Slide, So we just already knewm so we always
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: would support him, go to the videos, you know, me
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: and my girls just hang out and just go show
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: him love. And because he really got out of jail
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: and did like I said, I wanted the music. And
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: then so now it's the second album time. And then
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: he just called me one day. It was me and
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: my friends in the car. We was on our way

• 13:55
  Speaker 5: of months, like three four months to the label.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I was like, no, I'm just doing a favor. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I was like no show no at first, Yeah, I
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: was like no. I was like I'm just doing I
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: just went to talk and do a favor, like you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: just talk my Todd, like you know, you hear songs
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: and you a girl somebody in the background. Theyre arguing
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: she's not actually an artist, she's just somebody in the
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: background and somebody you know, your friend and she's just
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: and then they were like no, and the Atlantic Records
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: is like who is that?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And it was like I kept saying no. They were
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: harassing me days and days and days. Yeah, So I
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: went to perform.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: It was Trick's birthday party right after, and they was
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: trying to release the record, and they come to his
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: birthday party.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay, cool, I'll come. So I go
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: to the birthday party.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: I know he's going to perform and do his thing,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: but I'm just here in full support, me and my friends.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: And as we're there, they played the way he was
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: going to perform and they stopped playing his records. He
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: stopped playing some songs, and then I remember the record
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: came on and they told me, well, we want you
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: to come out on the record. I was like, absolutely not,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Like it's not gonna happen. It's just not It's not
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: gonna happen. And so I remember it was like it
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: was a club. It wasn't a really big club. The
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: stage was not so big. So we were like behind
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: the stage in this VP or that's where it's little.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: The party was at before you get out to the
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: main part. And he came on the stage and he
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: stopped phone. So I'm in the backstanding by the curtain.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: You know, we stand up. Me and my girls were
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: looking We just partying out at a good time, and so
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: they kept saying you have to come out. I kept
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: saying I'm not coming out. And when the song came
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: on him and like one of my other friend guys,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: they came. They pushed the curtain up and they was
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: like to show the crowd. It was me like yeah,
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: like this is the girl who's saying it. And as
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: soon as they did that, they were like trying to
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: grab me to come to the stage and the girls
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: like right when I was talking the little like hold up,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: hold up over that little part. I was standing right
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: there and the girls in the crowd like just said
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: every word to the song I'm talking about.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I didn't open my mouth and say nothing. I was just.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Standing there looking like what And it was That's how
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: it just started. That's exactly how it happened.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Was that the bug was that the thing that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Said no, it was one more after that was the
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: one thing. So then after that, Naddy invited me. This
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: was a performance.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: This was like the first performance of Trick's new album.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: It's at the College Times in Tallahassee. Fam you so
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: we're gonna go to Tallahassee. So we all excited like okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: we'll go, let's go. And that was the bug that
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: was the one because it was like this is a
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: big venue, it's a big stage, and I mean the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: song it's one divert like one the bar. So by
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: the time Trick he had like he didn't really do
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of songs from like the previous project. He
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: had did a couple songs from that and maybe it's
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: like a thirty minute sat. So this song now, particularly
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: was the last song that he do and when it
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: came on, you could just see the like the crowd
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: just inflaming. Everybody's going nuts, and now it's time for
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: me to come out. And then you just hear the girls,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: everybody just screaming. I can hear them in the back.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I'm looking peeking.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: And so by the time I came back at this time,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: I had came with like my friends, some dancers, everybody,
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: a whole full production. And then we came out and
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I did the song, and I don't know, I was like,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: what it's going on?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Like what did I create? I'm talking.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I literally didn't have to say nothing. They
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: said the whole song like I couldn't even I was
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: like I was starstruck, like looking at them like what
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: And then that's that was it?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: And you still don't have a deal yet, are you
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: at this point?
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Now you have the deal? Have you given in?
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: And actually don't think I had the deal at the
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Tallahasseee thing. I think right after Tallahassee, I did the deal.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I did the deal. So were you able to since yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: right after that.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: So now you have this hit record that's out, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: kind of playing cat and mouse with the label. Are
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: you able to create a bidding war or do you
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: say I'm still going this way though?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't obitting where it was just Atlantic.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: They just came through with that pressure like this is
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: what they want to do. This is the deal they
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: going to merge with slipping slide, this is the deal
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: coming through this trick and train of record X y
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Z And it was a great deal and we just
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I did it. And then immediately well because this was
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: nineteen this was a ninety eight. Then a the record
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: came out, and then we went on like all these
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: different tours like right after for the whole straight year.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: But in the midst of that whole year of touring
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: off this record, that's when I was creating my album.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: So it came out in two thousand, right directly right
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: after the record, So went from that to that, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: it just started because.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's like you were just having a good time. Yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you're just having fun and stumbled on.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: And you were able to in a sense practice with
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: a hit record.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because no nobody gets to do that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Usually people go.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Out there on nobody know, they don't know your pa.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: And then I had, in the midst of that another
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: thing because right when that we did, now, I had
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: did What's Your Fantasy remix with Ludacris, so that record
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: was so I had two records, and so I would
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: go on the road with Ludacris, going road with Tricks
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: back and for It back and for It back, and yeah, kind.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Of happened real all.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: This is before I put out my first single, my album,
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: So I had both of those records.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Like out the gate, Are you doing any shows by yourself?
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Are you just like, okay, I'm gonna just do their
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: shows with you.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: No, I just did the shows with them.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I didn't do no shows by myself until my album
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: came out, because then it was all me, okay, yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: so you waited, yeah, because I was, and why I
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: was doing it. I had just got the deal signed
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: and then Atlantic was like requesting I put the album
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: out like right away, like you know yes, and so
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: I did it.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Within the year I was on the word working with
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: that deal.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: We like to ask you get your check, get your check,
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: you buy it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I didn't buy anything, actually nothing, no, I actually, this
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: is just funny.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't buy nothing. I gave a check to my mom. Actually, and.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: My mom well, I had introduced my mom into like
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: buying properties, buying stuff, flipping it, and you know, buying
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: selling whatever. And so when I first got the check
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: or whatever, it was like I was already working and
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: I was good. I was making money, so I didn't
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: really need the check. So I just gave it to her,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: and here I go. My album came out. The first
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: year we worked on the album, I'm doing videos, I'm
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: traveling to them, whatever. The second year came, I'm still
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: in the world. I'm working, but I'm getting creating my
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: second album at the same time. And by time the
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: second album had dropped and came out. I believe it
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: was like when the album came out, I want to say,
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: like right after, like I had like an album release
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: party or something or whatever, and then my mom gave
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: me the check back, but it was double the money
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: she just took. She just doubled it like whatever she
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: was slipping out so I had check, So I didn't
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: I just really had it. I didn't have a Yeah,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't have a used to like getting nothing because

• 22:06
  Speaker 2: my first check. No, I didn't have nowhere to live,

  Speaker 3: I was out of control. I was out of control.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: Now I just felt I really it just really like
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: separated me, you know, from what I was already doing
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: to what I just already wanted to do myself like
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: I'm in charge, this is the ticket.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: It's about me.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: So everything that's I'm bringing to this show and to
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: this platform, I'm doing it on my own. Like I'm
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: calling the shots. I want the sound to sound like this,
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: I want the stages like this. I won't dances. I
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: want you know, like Trick ain't really have dance and stuff.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: He was just like he's just a good damn rap.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I wanted a production, so I want to turn it different,
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: And yeah it was different.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Did you hire from within, like as far as from
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Miami or did you like do the whole who's the
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: biggest choreographer or you know what?
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I did it kind of here first because we have
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: a lot of like we had a lot of great dancers,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: a lot of grants.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I mean great dancers.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: You know, they travel, they dance here, they dance Atlanta,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: they dance California, like all the you know, artists, videos
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: and tours and stuff. So I already came in with that,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Like Miami is a big known place for dance scenes
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: and dancing, so that was easy to find. That was
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: easy to get that. So yeah, I kind of constructed
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: that desk like right here, that's dope.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I love that. And your first solo tour is with who.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Oh Myself. It was myself, but.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: You didn't have to really, so you didn't have to
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: do the promo run though.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I mean as far as.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: Like, hey, but you did that with which with tricking
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: with Lulak. I'm saying, once your project came, you were
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: already getting paid to do shows.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I still did promo though. I just still
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: did a lot of yeah, no, no, no you promo. Definitely, I
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: definitely did promo. I definitely did those radio dates. I
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: definitely did those, you know, go to the radio station, show,
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: loved every whatever they needed. I did that also because
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: then again when it was my album and then you know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I did my single and then I had my single
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: with Kelly Rowland, and so it was definitely mandatory for promo.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: It's definitely like a marketing strategy behind it. And I
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: definitely had to steal take like it was dates that
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: I would that I would be booked. It was for
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: me to like perform, but I would take radio dates
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: in with that also. I had to, and I mean
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: I didn't care because I was Sometimes I would do
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: two shows in a day.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Sometimes, so I'll do a show, two shows in one city,
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: or two shows and one citay and another show after
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: party somewhere else, or a show here and a show
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: somewhere else, fly here or drive here. So it was
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: kind of like every day, you know. So I added
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: promo into that with radio like kind of on the run.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: I didn't have a problem with that though.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I think, like we were talking about, you know, just
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: younger artists and artists who who've kind of in this
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: new generation have more subscribed to online promo versus in
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: person promo.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Like there's a difference in touching the people.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: In those artists who've actually gone to all those B
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: and C markets and left their mark there. Because I
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: can tell I know for a fact, you can go anywhere.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Anywhere down South anywhere and.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Get a full you can go anywhere and get a bag.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: And that is a result of those promo runs. Man,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: just going to touch the people doing those luncheons, showing
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: up I have shown.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Up to to to what they what they're doing their
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: hair to the hair salon did this.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: We had a we had a in Chattanooga. No what't
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: not you Charleston, South Carolina. Fill up your tank with
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: tank and and I.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Was pumping the gas.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: This is fixed in the morning, but it's a line
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: as hours I can see, and I am pumping gas.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I'm shaking hands and there's no babies this early morning,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: but I'm shaking hands and giving hugs at the gas station.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, for us coming up in
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: those times, I think that's been a saving grace and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the difference in us being able to stand the test
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: of time because we're connected to people, We're not just
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: connected online. But then you add the fact that you
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: have legendary music and you have a legendary persona, which
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I think these new young female artists are are snatching
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: pieces of and trying to you know what I'm saying.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: No, I love the way that you've that you've embraced
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: all the newer artists who that have come along, you
• 27:47
