  Speaker 3: did finished that tour, but he finished.

  Speaker 4: This happened right he finished this tour, and it was
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: just a larger conversation about what's possible for our group
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: because you know, in comparison to a lot of the
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: other groups, we haven't really had a long runway to
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: create the things that we wanted to as men, you
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So an album made sense, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: it was an opportunity with some money on the flow.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And that's actually like that money on the flow, money
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: on flows, money on the flowing to get lit. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: as soon as we finished the tour, you know what
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, we started preparing for this album. And I
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: think it was only I mean it was it was
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: it was before before it was a little bit before
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the tour and yeah, that's what that's why we are

  Speaker 9: I was just I love the answer, man, you know
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: what I'm saying.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: It was everything you know, I think was the one
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: that I want to get in there.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: It made it made it made sense. It made sense
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: for us, It made sense for all all where we're
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: at in our relationship. You know, those tough conversations us maturing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: You know, we never were able to make adult music
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: as adults.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. We made adult music as kids.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: You take, I need some money, nigga, let's go on.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: To it now. This album, though, man's we y'all gonna.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Get to see who we really are.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I feel like when we did the music as a
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: younger bach K, it was like label designed and they
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: were picking songs that they thought were green radio.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: This were really probably you know, work, but it's something
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: around you know we Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You guys, a veteran, you know what I'm saying, so
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: now you're dropping the music, it's a lot more curated
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: from us, our conversations, our experience, a lot together separately
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as well a lot.
• 7:44
  Speaker 13: You know, you guys defined an era of music, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 13: I think a lot of it came from like the
• 7:48
  Speaker 13: chemistry that you had as and so hearing you talk
• 7:52
  Speaker 13: about like the degree of maturity that you go individually experienced,
• 7:56
  Speaker 13: Like what.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Do you think people are going to get different now?
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Probably a lot more edge, you know, because of the experience.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: And we're adults, so we can.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: There's gonna be some cussing now, it's gonna be a
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: little bit.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: That we wanted to before as kids on record now
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: along with the experience that we've all. Yeah, and I
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: would say contexts, you know what I'm saying, Like we
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: can really speak about, you know, knowledge and how you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: growing up really shows you if you if you're really
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: vibing with somebody like you do have to look past things.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying, you know, you gotta get an.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Old beat up whip, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: You can get a new whip, but you know, for
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the most part, ones cars get on the road, they'd
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: depreciate you know what I'm saying.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So you guys have a real little fan base as
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: well that also grew up with you guys. So I'm
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: happy that you guys are back together doing music together
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: because I feel like the fans were like, this is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: good because your fans are grown ups too. A lot
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of your fans were kids, and then it's an opportunity
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to get new fans because a lot of the younger kids.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: When I wait, my older brother, older sister, they know them,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: My mama know them, and Okay, they making music that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I like too, So I feel like that's important.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: No, it is, and I think that was That was
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: another key element to why we decided to do the album.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: It's because we kind of felt like we left them
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: without giving them this version, you know what I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Like they.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Didn't get to get they didn't get to get this sauce.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. They got the preheat, but
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: they didn't get to you know that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So not us only feeling like we
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: owe it to our fans because we just shook on
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: them just out of nowhere.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Group broke up gone, you know what I mean?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Was it a breakup because it didn't feel like a breakup.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: It just felt like you stopped.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: It was a break I get you.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Look then, niggas like I'm gonna solo because you know.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: It was not.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Growing pains.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: No, it was I mean that story has been Yeah,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: that was conquer and divide from upper parties.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: So do you feel like that that made you gut stronger?
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: Now?
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: That should pissed me off. I was like, man, I
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: gotta get these niggas back together. But you know what
• 10:25
  Speaker 11: I'm saying, these niggas, don't you know? No all bullsh
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: it aside. I'm I'm really grateful and and happy that
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: we're in a great space and we have our friendship.
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: That was really important for us because besides the business,
• 10:37
  Speaker 11: we were friends, right and you know, there was you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 11: outside noise that probably you know had a lot of
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: influence in our growth. And it was dope that we
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: all were able to go down our own journeys and
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: realize what we built and the fact that we were
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: able to come back to it and honor it, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: and and and and like books said, be able to
• 10:52
  Speaker 11: uh complete what we where we left off at so
• 10:55
  Speaker 11: to be able to experience this mature beat, k I
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: mean this had Pushy on the record. I'm like, wow,
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: that before you know, but like you know, we're just
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: we're just having fun. We're experimenting with our voices, but
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: officially arrived. Yeah no, seriously, physics grow Yeah, it's really dope.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It's really dope.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: We've all pro created and have kids.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: Fatherhood has played a big part in your.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: What brew me up?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Like crazy?
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: So when you say grow you up? You know I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: the one who breaks people down. Here, what's your largest lesson?
• 11:31
  Speaker 13: Like, individually, go around the table, just tell me, like,
• 11:34
  Speaker 13: what do you think your greatest lesson the fatherhood that's
• 11:36
  Speaker 13: contributed to you being a better man?
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: M you want to start fitting ahead? I would say.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Self reflection, the ability to balance yourself, you know with
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: giving you know, the others and and also looking outside
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: of yourself, you know, doing things with a deeper purpose
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: in me. He really recognizing, like yo, because that definitely
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: came up for us, you know what I'm saying. Like
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: initially in twenty nineteen, before we went on tour.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: It was like not a thought in my mind.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: I was like, no, I'm not cool, you know what
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like we went through so much, but you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: having kids and you know, realizing like my kids missed
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: out on that whole you know run and journey and
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: seeing me go through what I went through, you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: to get where I am today. And I thought about
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: my kids when it was time to link back up
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: with my dogs, and oh, they'll be able to see
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: us perform. They'll really be able to get some context.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think that did a lot for
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: my son because he definitely got the song bug and
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the entertainment bug, you know what I mean. So it
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: matured me in that way. It's made me a lot
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: more selfless but also selfish, you know, the balancing act
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: of that. I think it made me focus on that
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: a little bit more so. I will say that's probably
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: my greatest lesson.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That's how That's how he, I would wrap you up making.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's that's how he is. Yeah, I don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I don't want to.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: Say, who wants to go.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Fatherhood? What is the greatest lesson that you learned as
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: matured you as a man?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 13:28
  Speaker 11: I got to be responsible, I got a little I
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: got some little eyes looking up at me, and it's
• 13:32
  Speaker 11: like it's taught me grace. It's taught me more patience
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: and more responsibility. More accountability is crazy when being yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: being being more organized, being more punctual, and being there
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: like these last few days, it's been a pleasure to.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Be with my guys.
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: But when I'm by the time we get home three
• 13:46
  Speaker 11: four o'clock in the morning, they already sleep, so I'm
• 13:48
  Speaker 11: like missing them and I'm actually like residing in the city,
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: you know, temporarily, right, So so there's those things gives
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: me a divine purpose and intentions. You know, I'm not
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: you know, like everything is lined up all my kids,
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: that bank accounts, that uls, you know what I'm saying,
• 14:04
  Speaker 11: Like life showing like like all that type of stuff
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: that I took for granted, Like I put that shit
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: in place, I can sleep at night and on that
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: like something happened to me. My kids are taking care
• 14:11
  Speaker 11: of So that's really helpful with my business as well.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys pretty much took all the answers. The
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: biggest lesson for me was just really understanding that I
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: was the example.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Damn took mine.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Bro I mean, this is my guy right here, so
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that you know, we went through a
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: lot of this time together.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So that's probably why.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: But I'm the example, you know, I'm the language that
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: they learn. I am the way that they cope by
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: watching me how I coped. I'm the way that they
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: react because they're they They're learning everything, you know, from
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: watching me. So that was the biggest lesson that I learned,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: is that I had to grow up because I would
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I would see my children, like even with their friends,
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: handle things a certain way, and I'd be like, hey, man,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: what Dad, you did it?
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, And I'm like, damn, I can't.
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: Even they're not coming at you from an unpure place
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: like you're coming at you from little observation.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: I learned that that was my biggest lesson was like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: you know, you are you are the mold, the first
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: thing that they that they experience, and and how you
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: do everything, you know, is probably how they're going to
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: initially before they kind of turn into themselves and have
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: other experiences in the world as examples.
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: You are the first, you know what I mean. If
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: you teach them Spanish, you teach them Portuguese, you know
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: what I mean.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: You are the language, you are the example. You are
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the way for sure.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, like he said, being an example,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: you know, I realized because my son has dreams of
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: being an NBA player, So for him, I had to
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: because I'm in a whole nother field of work being
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: example how to come through showing consistency and what it
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: is that I'm trying to do. So being that example
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: has led me to realize, Okay, success is really through
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: through consistency, and if you want to reach those heights
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: that you're trying to go, just do it every day.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: And showing him doing being around the guys every day,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: showing up to the studio, going to the gym every day,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: he's like, my dad wants it, Yeah, I want it
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: to I gotta do.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: It this way.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He's do you guys feel like it's going to be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a little easier to reignite your fans knowing that you
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: guys have great music on.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: The way we do.

  Speaker 9: everybody will be surprised, like, whoa, Okay, I'm.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Excited that the market is definitely interesting, and it's just
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: if I could be straight, it's oversaturated, you know, overly, So.
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: To speak to consistent, you know.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: We have to make sure that we constantly put out
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: more product, more pieces for them to be able to put.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You guys are namesake, So yeah, it's are easier to penetrate.

• 17:37
  Speaker 13: have a loyal fan base and you can more easily
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: expand on that pre existing relationship that you have based
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: on what you are putting out now?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one thing we don't take for granted, you know,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: having that loyal fan base.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just everything tries to bury it so fast.
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: That's what my point was.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Of course, you know, we understand we got a fan base,
• 18:00

  Speaker 4: point in time in our career, you know, we're making
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: that transition from what we did to who we're becoming,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: and there's any clips happening that's like, you know, it's
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: the darkest before the dawn.

  Speaker 8: You're a narrative down twelve.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: It's rough.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: If you would have seen The White Boy yesterday, it
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: was like, yeah, we already like we we all got
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Obviously we have to vote and sonically play the records
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: and put out figure out the sequences.
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: But we're already figuring, like damn this record making she
• 25:44

  Speaker 3: Problem to have. Yeah, amazing, straight up.
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: They sound like Mileage Brothers. I'm excited.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: What do you guys feel like your process of elimination
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: is when you're doing that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: I think for me it's like it's like vibe and feeling,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: you know, because so many songs sound good, but they're
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: not saying nothing, and they don't make you really feel
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: anything outside of it excited or sexual, you know what
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. So I think we do a good job
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: of having a mixture, you know what I mean. That's
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: what I feel like. The album truly represents, you know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: like a mixture of both. You know what I'm saying,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: some content like knowledge.
• 26:28

• 26:34
  Speaker 4: because we want to say something. We want to talk
