Speaker 1: The music got it like big l you know, ghost Face, shit,
1:49
Speaker 1: Nature forty first side, all of that Queens Beer, Queens
1:53

Speaker 1: fucking a Z and like all of that shit type.
2:00
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to do like an ode too,
2:02
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like when I when I
2:04
Speaker 1: fell in love with it. And another thing is is
2:07
Speaker 1: it's my era of music, so I'm not trying to
2:10
Speaker 1: not match with you know, my age ranging.
2:13
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like your last shit you were like
2:15
Speaker 3: kind of like you've been doing a lot more experimenting
2:17
Speaker 3: in the type of melodies and just dipping your toe
2:20
Speaker 3: into like different sounds. But this is more like some
2:23
Speaker 3: rap shit.
2:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because I structured it like that. I mean
2:26
Speaker 1: I worked on the project from intro to and you
2:29
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I wasn't just pulling records. I
2:31
Speaker 1: was actually going to the studio doing them one by one.
2:34
Speaker 3: How many bodies of work do you have out? I
2:36
Speaker 3: feel like it's a ship Ton twenty twenty My goodness.
2:40

2:43
Speaker 1: time two thousand and nine.
2:45

2:57
Speaker 3: Damn So yeah, ninety eight was it a hell of
2:59
Speaker 3: your for hip hop? You know they always say ninety
3:03
Speaker 3: four is like the best year, but I about say, like, yeah,
3:08
Speaker 3: I mean ninety four was pretty good.
3:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think ninety eight ran into two thousand, so.
3:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean because then you get the rough Riders
3:14
Speaker 3: ship in there, you get like fucking the locks you get.
3:19

Speaker 3: Yeah, all of them, the orange one, the fucking c
3:41
Speaker 3: Murder one, the Fiend one where I had all them shits, yo,
3:46
Speaker 3: It's crazy, Like it sucks that, Like someone needs to
3:49
Speaker 3: do that, because you know how it would be dropping vinyls.
3:51
Speaker 3: Someone needs to do a hard album release that is
3:55
Speaker 3: like a thousand copies and do it with those.
3:58
Speaker 1: Cases like those bitches to be fire, and then you
4:02
Speaker 1: get it for the case for real.
4:03
Speaker 3: And then you'd like every every album, you'd open it
4:06
Speaker 3: and it would say the five or four Boys album
4:07
Speaker 3: was coming soon, but like it was like coming soon
4:09
Speaker 3: for like three or four years, and then every new
4:11
Speaker 3: album there'd be a different iteration of who was in
4:13
Speaker 3: the Five or Four Boys, right for sure. There was
4:15
Speaker 3: like one when they signed Snoop and then Snoop was
4:17
Speaker 3: all of a sudden in the Five or Four Boys
4:19
Speaker 3: Coming Soon album. I was like, oh shit, Snoops in
4:21
Speaker 3: the Fiber four Boy and then yeah, damn the Five
4:24
Speaker 3: of Four Boys shout.
4:24
Speaker 1: Outs a mystical Yeah that shit was just ship right,
4:27
Speaker 1: No shout out to them. Yeah, I'll let you have that.
4:31
Speaker 3: Master p Man shouts shouts to master p Man. What
4:35
Speaker 3: do you think about this whole beat that's going on
4:36
Speaker 3: with the within hip hop right now? It's good?
4:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not.
4:41
Speaker 1: I don't have no no opinion, like strong opinion about it.
4:45
Speaker 1: I just like to hear what what's going on?
4:47
Speaker 3: I think I'm I'm very kendrickal with my bias, but
4:49
Speaker 3: I said this to you off the camera, like if
4:52
Speaker 3: if Drake comes out of this like unscathed, he might
4:57
Speaker 3: be the goat man and I'm not. I don't even
5:00
Speaker 3: have him. I got him in like around ten because
5:05
Speaker 3: I'm a hater.
5:08
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's competitive.
5:09
Speaker 3: But like if this fools like the whole like he
5:13
Speaker 3: posted that picture of Uma Thurman and kill Bill, that's
5:16
Speaker 3: really what's happening right now? All his friends in the
5:19
Speaker 3: rap game are against him, and everybody else is against him,
5:23
Speaker 3: and it's just Drake and like Baka.
5:26
Speaker 1: But also I feel like I feel like in hip hop,
5:29
Speaker 1: even though like we might have been younger, there was
5:31
Speaker 1: situations like this. It' I mean, we might not be
5:34
Speaker 1: able to name him, you know what I mean. There
5:36
Speaker 1: might have been the situations where it was just that person.
5:41
Speaker 1: I know, it happened in New York before. At some
5:43
Speaker 1: point it might have been nothing. I mean, you gotta
5:45
Speaker 1: think Drake is like the biggest rapper ever.
5:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, the fifty thing. Everybody was against fifty for
5:50
Speaker 3: sure before, but then he linked up with eminem But
5:54
Speaker 3: when he did like how to Rob, but he was fifty,
5:55
Speaker 3: he was on the come up, like he was not
5:58
Speaker 3: working about Drake and Kendrickman and the Weekend is involved
6:01
Speaker 3: that metro booming in future and asap Rocky and fucking
6:06
Speaker 3: Jamarants catching strays. It's crazy.
6:10
Speaker 2: It's definitely crazy. You gotta be ducking out here.
6:15
Speaker 3: J Cole just said, my name's Bennett and I'm not
6:17
Speaker 3: in it.
6:18
Speaker 2: What you think about that?
6:21
Speaker 3: I actually I was not as like, I feel like
6:25
Speaker 3: people really took that and like really ran with it
6:29
Speaker 3: in a way that I mean, Cole's obviously an energy
6:33
Speaker 3: type of dude. He's kind of moved the way he's
6:37
Speaker 3: moved with like not caring about anybody else and like
6:41
Speaker 3: being super in his own vibe. So when he said like,
6:46
Speaker 3: it just didn't sit right with my spirit, like I
6:49
Speaker 3: think I think I respected it well.
6:50
Speaker 2: To me, then that's where you should have stayed.
6:53
Speaker 3: I agree, But you know how it is, man, motherfucker's
6:55
Speaker 3: being in your ear hyping you up crash out. But
6:59
Speaker 3: he should. But but and that's the I mean, listen
7:01
Speaker 3: from the hip hop perspective, I would have liked to
7:04
Speaker 3: have seen Cole like fully engage. Yeah, and too, I
7:09
Speaker 3: thought I thought that what he said on that record
7:12
Speaker 3: was just like a nice like, but I don't think
7:15
Speaker 3: he believed anything he said. Damn, I don't think he
7:18
Speaker 3: believes that. Kendrick's just like he doesn't think the to
7:22
Speaker 3: Pimper Butterfly is that that was like, you don't you
7:26
Speaker 3: don't even believe that to be true? Like Top Butterfly
7:29
Speaker 3: is a fucking in my opinion, of course, I mean
7:32
Speaker 3: the albums that like incredible, even his last album that
7:35
Speaker 3: everyone's saying. I mean, bitch, the album's platinum. He sold
7:38
Speaker 3: out a whole tour and I still listen to that
7:39
Speaker 3: on this fucking day. So I don't think he believed.
7:43
Speaker 3: Because the thing about Kendrick, unlike Drake, I don't know
7:47
Speaker 3: how much you could say about Kendrick Lamarer outside. Maybe
7:50
Speaker 3: he didn't have a favorable deal with TD back in
7:51
Speaker 3: the day he left. Obviously he's with PG Lane, he's
7:54
Speaker 3: got his own thing, and he's short. Because that's really
7:58
Speaker 3: all they said. What else can you say about? He's
8:00
Speaker 3: so out the way, he's so private that I don't
8:03
Speaker 3: know what else you could say. Drake's shit is so
8:06
Speaker 3: out there that there's so many things you can mention.
8:09
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm just I want to see what I.
8:11
Speaker 1: Like to hear what you got to say, because I
8:13
Speaker 1: don't got a horse in the rais, and.
8:14
Speaker 2: It sound like you do.
8:15
Speaker 3: Well, my horse is always I mean, I just think
8:17
Speaker 3: Kendrick is, you know, one of the most prolific, incredible
8:20
Speaker 3: artists musically musically.
8:22
Speaker 1: Your giography, well, I'm just saying you're excited about how
8:27
Speaker 1: it's going back and forth.
8:28
Speaker 3: I also think if we're going right now and this
8:31
Speaker 3: is without hearing anything Kendrick saying next, I think it's
8:34
Speaker 3: pretty close because I like Drake's record a lot, and
8:38
Speaker 3: I also thought it was fucking hilarious. I know some
8:41
Speaker 3: people thought it was corny, but I actually thought it
8:43
Speaker 3: was funny that what he said to his mom about
8:46
Speaker 3: Rick Ross. I thought that shit was comedy. I was like, man, mom,
8:49
Speaker 3: you know the guy you see the songs with, He's
8:51
Speaker 3: he's really hungry, he gets angry, and.
8:54
Speaker 1: To me, that felt like, I don't know, that felt
8:58
Speaker 1: like something I wouldn't.
8:59
Speaker 3: I like seeing like put a record out and then
9:01
Speaker 3: play in the internet shit too.
9:02
Speaker 2: But they played a different world. You feel me like.
9:05
Speaker 3: Rick Ross's you know Rick Ross's He's the ultimate troll
9:08
Speaker 3: for sure.
9:09
Speaker 2: This is right up his alley.
9:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been waiting for this. I actually think that
9:12
Speaker 3: Rick Ross record was already a record and he just
9:15
Speaker 3: added the end part. M hmm, because if you listen
9:19
Speaker 3: to it, it doesn't sound very The rapping part of
9:21
Speaker 3: that song isn't very direct. H It's very like it
9:25
Speaker 3: just sounds like it was a Rick Ross song that
9:26
Speaker 3: was sub and Drake and then he was just like, hey,
9:30
Speaker 3: let me throw in these I think he had the
9:33
Speaker 3: first part of that and then the outro where he's
9:35
Speaker 3: talking about him getting a BBL. I think all that
9:37
Speaker 3: was just added and they put it.
9:38
Speaker 2: Out, but it sounds cohesive.
9:40
Speaker 3: It does shout out to Ross. I wish his rapping
9:43
Speaker 3: would have been more direct. He did the outro where
9:46
Speaker 3: he was like, you know, that's why I fucked you, bitch,
9:49
Speaker 3: you fat motherfucker type shit. You know, but it's like
9:52
Speaker 3: I would, I would, you know. The raw shit was cool.
9:55
Speaker 3: I'm not. I wasn't too impressed by the Ross record,
9:57
Speaker 3: to be honest. It was funny.
9:59
Speaker 2: Is do a quality too for you?
10:02
Speaker 3: I just thought that when I heard Drake shit Drake specifically,
10:06
Speaker 3: he specifically name names. He was very direct. Ross was
10:12
Speaker 3: talking shit when the beat was riding.
10:15
Speaker 1: Now, I mean well, Ross also said, you grab a
10:18
Speaker 1: sea is going to be a long game.
10:20
Speaker 3: It's just the first quarter, which I'm looking give me
10:22
Speaker 3: the second.
10:22
Speaker 2: Quarter, all right, man, I agree, I wont if.
10:25
Speaker 3: Drake's I mean, look, man, I'm telling you, if Drake
10:27
Speaker 3: comes out of this ship and he's looking good, I
10:31
Speaker 3: got nothing else to say, He's the goat because I
10:34
Speaker 3: the one thing that disappointed me with Drake was he
10:36
Speaker 3: didn't reply to Push Your Tea Like Push Your T's
10:40
Speaker 3: dis record was so powerful it a child gained a
10:43
Speaker 3: father in this world. Damn, that's crazy, that's crazy. It's true.
10:50
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's crazy.
10:56
Speaker 3: A kid is growing up with his dad in his
10:58
Speaker 3: life because of Push Your Tea right now.
11:00
Speaker 2: You don't think they would have had his dad without it.
11:02
Speaker 3: I don't think he'd be putting out records. I don't
11:05
Speaker 3: think the little dude would have had a freestyle out
11:07
Speaker 3: and be like hanging out, like getting Nike deals. Push
11:12
Speaker 3: Your Tea ruined an Adida's deal and expose the child.
11:17
Speaker 3: No smoke for him.
11:19
Speaker 2: He ruined an Adida's deal, but didn't get a bigger
11:21
Speaker 2: deal with Nike.
11:22
Speaker 3: No one's wearing those Nikes. Don't know anybody wearing them.
11:25
Speaker 2: But did he get a bigger deal? He might.
11:28
Speaker 3: I think you'd rather have the Nike deal if you're
11:29
Speaker 3: Drake anyway, Yeah, for sure, shout out to Drake man.
11:32
Speaker 2: I think no horse on the raised neither. I just
11:34
Speaker 2: want to hear the music.
11:35
Speaker 3: Look, I'm telling you, if you just take like that,
11:37
Speaker 3: like that's a better song. Obviously it's a number one record.
11:39
Speaker 3: In the country. It's a fucking banger. But if you
11:42
Speaker 3: were to just take Kendrick's verse and Drake's verse or
11:45
Speaker 3: Drake's shit, I think it's a toss up. I fuck
11:48
Speaker 3: with Drake. I think Drake surprised me, and but he can't.
11:54
Speaker 3: There's nothing else he could say about Kendrick.
11:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, the quotables matched up, and I feel like a
11:58
Speaker 1: mag was dumped.
11:59
Speaker 3: So got to figure out to me Kendrick thing is
12:02
Speaker 3: just like, hey, man, you got to call top Dog
12:05
Speaker 3: for permission. You did a song with Taylor Swift that
12:08
Speaker 3: by the way, there's a video of Drake dancing to
12:10
Speaker 3: in a commercial and you're short, all right, Yeah, I
12:18
Speaker 3: don't know what else you got.
12:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, we ain't gonna know.
12:21
Speaker 3: We don't find out. Man, you've ever been involved I
12:25
Speaker 3: mean obviously you almost you know. I mean they've been
12:27
Speaker 3: involved in some street ship, but yeah, but have you
12:30
Speaker 3: ever been involved in like an on record no beef.
12:34
Speaker 1: In the street and when I was coming up in
12:36
Speaker 1: the hood type ship but right, but.
12:38
Speaker 3: Not since you guys have like nah, I feel like
12:40
Speaker 3: anytime there's ever been any even with Wiz, like any
12:43
Speaker 3: static with like other artists, like it's never like this
12:47
Speaker 3: wiz just don't give a fuck.
12:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't give a fuck, and it's like it
12:50
Speaker 1: was like it's peace because it ain't nothing going, you
12:53
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
12:53
Speaker 3: Right, it's the right players around, right exactly? Who else
12:58
Speaker 3: on the project? I met a couple of.
12:59
Speaker 1: Feature I just did my homie Boas from uh Pittsburgh
13:03
Speaker 1: and then I got smoked this on it for shore
13:06
Speaker 1: me and bo was in the group back in the
13:08
Speaker 1: day and he was like my favorite rapper from Pittsburgh.
13:10
Speaker 3: So that's a blog era fucking Pittsburgh rap. So for sure,
13:16
Speaker 3: is there anything like for you that you feel like
13:20
Speaker 3: you still want to accomplish in the rap game that like,
13:24
Speaker 3: you know, because you you've running up this independent catalog,
13:27
Speaker 3: But like, is there like anything new? Like I know
13:30
Speaker 3: you were talking about trying to like write for other
13:32
Speaker 3: people and like doing stuff like that. Is there like
13:34
Speaker 3: anything else you want to try to check off the list?
13:37
Speaker 1: I mean, not really in in in rap for really,
13:41
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I put out two albums.
13:43
Speaker 1: You know, it could have been a point where I
13:45
Speaker 1: didn't get no albums and everything was a mixtape, you
13:48
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
13:48
Speaker 2: So I'm thankful for that. In the writing world. I've been.
13:52
Speaker 1: I've been in Nashville, you know, tapping into the county country,
13:56
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like not even like playing
13:58
Speaker 1: around neither. I mean like really right that ship and
14:00
Speaker 1: crafting it the right way to move and not for
14:04
Speaker 1: no pat on my back. But three years ago I
14:06
Speaker 1: put out Escape, which to you know what I mean,
14:08
Speaker 1: was already so I always tell people like I was
14:11
Speaker 1: already trying to get world. Yeah, that world. So I
14:14
Speaker 1: went down to Nashville. I met with my boy Red Faarn.
14:18
Speaker 1: He got this song called Jack and Dye Coke that's
14:20
Speaker 1: real popping right now. And we just wrote and then
14:23
Speaker 1: I wrote in some other sessions and then we linked
14:25
Speaker 1: and and you know, once I got the vibe of
14:27
Speaker 1: how to go about it and put records together, it's
14:29
Speaker 1: a whole.
14:30
Speaker 3: World out there.
14:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
14:31
Speaker 3: It's like Nashville is, like the music industry is, it's
14:34
Speaker 3: its own. Like you know, we think of New York
14:38
Speaker 3: and La. Neither of those places matter in country. No,
14:42
Speaker 3: Like Nashville has just secluded its own industry. They got
14:46
Speaker 3: their own people, their own studios, their own a and rs.
14:49
Speaker 3: They don't give a funk about New York. To give
14:50
Speaker 3: a fuck about LA. Most of the executives on both
14:53
Speaker 3: of those sides, and they got their own executives.
14:58
Speaker 1: Then all of all of the music spot for music
15:00
Speaker 1: or like it's called music row. Everything's right there anyway,
15:03
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you go to you

Speaker 3: Oh ship, I thought that was just a mixtape.
15:58
Speaker 1: No, that came out on DSPs. I don't know, man,
16:03
Speaker 1: I think we're all at a point where it can
16:07
Speaker 1: happen whenever. But everybody's working on their own thing. I
16:10
Speaker 1: always tell people that once the brand is built, it's
16:13
Speaker 1: it's on us and the people that we signed and
16:15
Speaker 1: the people that's a part of it to make branches
16:18
Speaker 1: and you know, create new leafs and shit in new life.
16:20
Speaker 1: So like that's my thing. We're gonna go do the
16:23
Speaker 1: country writing or trying to write for other artists and
16:26
Speaker 1: you know things, getting those rooms and stuff like that,
16:28
Speaker 1: starting our gaming company and like things like so it's
16:32
Speaker 1: like just doing stuff to keep it going, you know
16:34
Speaker 1: what I mean, because we all having kids and like
16:37
Speaker 1: ship like that, you want to have something to show,
16:40
Speaker 1: something to give, you know, generational type ship.
16:42
Speaker 3: Is there anybody out of Pittsburgh right now that's bubbling
16:44
Speaker 3: that we should know about?
16:46
Speaker 1: I mean we signed the Homie fed to God Fire.
16:50
Speaker 1: Yeah him hard oh hard has been hard thought but
16:55
Speaker 1: he but yeah for sure.
16:57
Speaker 3: Crazy though he had a record with twenty one Savage
16:59
Speaker 3: like years ago. That was my ship.
17:01
Speaker 2: No hard hard for me.
17:05
Speaker 1: For me, Hardo is like the one that like I
17:09
Speaker 1: seen him get better and better and he you know
17:12
Speaker 1: what I mean, there's also the one homie. There's a
17:15
Speaker 1: young Homievanessa Hardy.
17:17
Speaker 2: He's nice.
17:18
Speaker 1: He from my hood actually, and then there's just I
17:22
Speaker 1: think his name is d Cools. I think he's dope
17:24
Speaker 1: as hell, Like lyrical as fuck. He got some dope
17:27
Speaker 1: music out, yeah, But for me, as far as the
17:31
Speaker 1: look ecsthetic and like being around and moving around and
17:34
Speaker 1: got better and grown from you know, just being around
17:37
Speaker 1: him in the studio, I think like Hardo at this
17:40
Speaker 1: point right now like really got it and got a
17:42
Speaker 1: wave that he's moving on and he just needs to keep.
17:45
Speaker 3: How crazy is it for you to have been like
17:47
Speaker 3: around mc millan early on, like I know, Wiz and
17:49
Speaker 3: Mackworth like making as much music together as they probably
17:52
Speaker 3: would have liked, but just to like see him be
17:57
Speaker 3: like this. Obviously he was appreciate when he was here,
18:01
Speaker 3: but I feel like after he passed he's kind of
18:03
Speaker 3: become this like this fucking icon, like yeah, you know
18:07
Speaker 3: like that and well deserved, like because his musically he
18:10
Speaker 3: was one of the greats bro Like he could do
18:11
Speaker 3: any sound Like I feel like he was ahead of
18:14
Speaker 3: the curve on a lot of the sonics that he
18:16
Speaker 3: was fucking with on his last couple of albums. But
18:19
Speaker 3: it's just kind of crazy to think, like damn, like
18:21
Speaker 3: this was just kind of turning into this like mythical
18:24
Speaker 3: figure in music.
18:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
18:26
Speaker 1: No, he's he's like an angel over top of all
18:30
Speaker 1: of this shit to me for sure, personally, Like because
18:34
Speaker 1: I see the way that people react and feel and
18:36
Speaker 1: cry and go through emotions and like stuff. That's that's
18:40
Speaker 1: a different type of connect People can listen to you
18:42
Speaker 1: all the time, they don't got to feel you though.
18:45
Speaker 1: That's just for their airs, you know what I mean.
18:46
Speaker 1: So I know that people, I know, people really really
18:50
Speaker 1: like feel his presence when they listen to your music.
18:52
Speaker 3: And what point in time did you guys stop did
18:55
Speaker 3: you guys go full papers and stop fucking with blunts?
18:58
Speaker 1: And like, oh, I think when Currency and Wiz is
19:05

19:08
Speaker 1: mean in New Orleans working on that with Currency, and
19:11
