0:37
Speaker 3: five years. Envy me was a moment? Was it triple platinum?

0:55
Speaker 2: Yeah like that.
0:56
Speaker 3: Every time you get a new certification, I need to
0:58
Speaker 3: get a new plaque. It's like Jesus right, But yeah,
1:02
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you kind of went through it
1:04
Speaker 3: with with with the label at the time because you
1:06
Speaker 3: were with RCA M. Now you're fully independent, So congrats
1:10
Speaker 3: to that. I always congratulate artists when they're independent because
1:12
Speaker 3: I think it's the way to go.
1:14
Speaker 2: Finally free type. Shit.
1:16
Speaker 3: What was the uphill battle for you with you know,
1:20
Speaker 3: because from a fans perspective, a lot of people like,
1:22
Speaker 3: we're having a cowboy, you know what I'm saying. So
1:23
Speaker 3: what's been going on and what was kind of some
1:26
Speaker 3: of the uh, you know, things you had to go
1:29
Speaker 3: through with getting out of that deal and and trying
1:32
Speaker 3: to move on and get this music out that you're
1:34
Speaker 3: sitting on.
1:37
Speaker 2: Well, I would say one of the bigger problems was like.
1:41
Speaker 1: The back end business, you know what I'm saying, Like
1:45
Speaker 1: getting like different personalities to see out of eye things
1:48
Speaker 1: like that to actually get the ball rolling. That was
1:51
Speaker 1: very difficult in my situation, you know what I'm saying, in.
1:54
Speaker 3: Terms of just like agreeing on what to put out,
1:56
Speaker 3: agreeing on when to put it out.
1:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, So from a fan's perspective, it looks like cal
2:03
Speaker 1: ain't working or he ain't he don't care about us type,
2:06
Speaker 1: And then I kind of disappeared to them.
2:09
Speaker 3: I mean that's what I was, like, what happened to cowboy?
2:12
Speaker 3: My boy hit me? And I was like, oh, because
2:15
Speaker 3: I remember you did Divide interview that went viral for
2:17
Speaker 3: other reasons.
2:17
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of the bs behind closed doors
2:20
Speaker 1: just slowed down, a consistency and the flow.
2:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people don't understand, like when you're on a
2:26
Speaker 3: major label, it is very much a mutual relationship. So
2:31
Speaker 3: in their eyes, per your contract, if you turn a
2:35
Speaker 3: body of work in and we released it, I owe
2:36
Speaker 3: you money. Here's an advance for that album. Right, So
2:39
Speaker 3: in their eyes, their perspective is, well, we got to
2:44
Speaker 3: feel good about whatever this is. We got to agree
2:46
Speaker 3: on if we feel strong about all these records, and
2:49
Speaker 3: then that's when you know, or you know, you got
2:51
Speaker 3: to catch a moment and force their hand almost right,
2:54
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So there is always that
2:56
Speaker 3: gridlock on the major label side.
2:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's what it was. Yeah, for sure, And
3:02
Speaker 2: and I figured it out. I got up out of there.
3:04
Speaker 2: Now we work.
3:05
Speaker 3: Was it easy to get your obviously it wasn't easy
3:07
Speaker 3: to get your release, But tell me about that process
3:10
Speaker 3: of getting released off of.
3:11
Speaker 2: It took a couple of years.
3:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, took a little money, took a strong support system.
3:21
Speaker 3: Did you have to buy yourself out?
3:23
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, No, okay, but I had to just let
3:28
Speaker 1: a lot of things go.
3:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you get what.
3:31
Speaker 3: I mean in terms of, like some of your music
3:34
Speaker 3: you recorded on their dime. Yeah, so it's like you
3:39
Speaker 3: record music on their dime, you might not ever hear
3:41
Speaker 3: that music. But do they still have the right Jesus sorry,
3:45
Speaker 3: do they still have the right to release that music?
3:47
Speaker 3: Or is it just like, hey, this is us, you
3:49
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like, you go do your thing.
3:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really it's really like that, I'm just doing
3:55
Speaker 1: my own thing. They ain't really worried about the other music,
3:57
Speaker 1: but I'm sure they would cause a hass if I
4:00
Speaker 1: try to like.
4:02
Speaker 3: Drop stuff on you. Yeah, no, that makes sense. I've
4:04
Speaker 3: had friends of mine who's like been on major labels
4:06
Speaker 3: and then they'll get with like a really big producer,
4:10
Speaker 3: like let's just use an example, Timbaland or somebody right right,
4:14
Speaker 3: and then they get off of the label, but they
4:16
Speaker 3: still got all these unreleased songs with like these giant producers,
4:20
Speaker 3: and they're like, ah, do I risk just throwing this
4:24
Speaker 3: shit out there to see what happens, you know. I
4:27
Speaker 3: mean it can work both ways. It could work out,
4:30
Speaker 3: or it could be like, yeah, you get a cease
4:33
Speaker 3: and assist.
4:33
Speaker 1: Right now working on like all fresh music. You know
4:37
Speaker 1: the energy that I'm in right now, how I feel
4:40
Speaker 1: right now.
4:40
Speaker 3: So no, the new songs Dope. I watched the video
4:42
Speaker 3: It's dope, Dope record Snap.
4:44
Speaker 1: For sure, that was one of the ones where I
4:46
Speaker 1: was just feeling myself, you know what I'm saying. But
4:49
Speaker 1: that's the start of it, unchanged, just explaining like what
4:53
Speaker 1: I really went through for real.
4:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, well for people who don't know because I saw it.
4:57
Speaker 3: I mean, you lost a lot of your personal friends.
4:59
Speaker 3: I think you lost twelve friends in a year now
5:02
Speaker 3: eight and two eight year eight friends in two years. Yeah,
5:06
Speaker 3: so that's gotta be like.
5:07
Speaker 1: Three of them was family members, a older cousin, a
5:11
Speaker 1: younger cousin, and a cousin around my age.
5:16
Speaker 3: It's crazy because we hear that same story coming from
5:18
Speaker 3: so many people from your city, right and it's like,
5:22
Speaker 3: you know, ge Herbalt has a song called PTSD and
5:24
Speaker 3: he talks a lot about like the mental strength you
5:27
Speaker 3: have to have to be from where he's from, where
5:29
Speaker 3: you're from, you know what I'm saying. And to deal
5:32
Speaker 3: with so much loss and so much hurt, Like do
5:34
Speaker 3: you ever feel like you had an opportunity to really mourn.
5:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, behind closed doors when you were by yourself, you
5:41
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
5:41
Speaker 2: But you grow I mean numb to it. You know
5:47
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
5:47
Speaker 1: You get used to it. I wouldn't say numb to
5:49
Speaker 1: it because you still care, but.
5:51
Speaker 3: No, but it's it's used to it. Yeah, you can get.
5:53
Speaker 3: I mean, it's something you can get used to if
5:54
Speaker 3: you get There's women out here who are getting cheated
5:57
Speaker 3: on by the same guy for a decade who I know,
5:59
Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, you're just used to it at
6:01
Speaker 3: this point, like you don't even care anymore, Like you like,
6:04
Speaker 3: shit happens to you and unfortunately, no matter how traumatic
6:07
Speaker 3: it is, like you're kind of conditioned to deal with it.
6:10
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
6:12
Speaker 2: I always say it could be worse.
6:14
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. Everything could always be worse. So
6:19
Speaker 3: do you ever feel like you have ever like consider
6:23
Speaker 3: maybe hitting therapy, talking out some of your ship like that.
6:26
Speaker 2: I tried that before. Oh you did. Yeah, like talking
6:30
Speaker 2: to somebody all the time.
6:33
Speaker 1: It work a little bit, It's cool, Yeah, but I'd
6:37
Speaker 1: rather just do music for real, like that is your therapy.
6:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it is.
6:41
Speaker 3: I love that this album you're about to release is
6:45
Speaker 3: your first album as an independent artist, right, which is
6:48
Speaker 3: a big deal. Yeah, this is a new space for
6:53
Speaker 3: you to be who you are with already with a
6:56
Speaker 3: five times platinum record, and now you're able to kind
6:59
Speaker 3: of move freely. You're able to kind of call the
7:01
Speaker 3: shot to do what you want to do. How does
7:03
Speaker 3: it feel like it? Is it something there's got to
7:07
Speaker 3: be like a cool just energy to that.
7:10
Speaker 2: Yeah?
7:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel free. I don't know why I
7:13
Speaker 1: keep saying that, but that's what it feels like. Feel
7:15
Speaker 1: like a waiter is off my shoulder.
7:18
Speaker 2: You know.
7:19
Speaker 1: I get to see certain things, you know what I'm saying.
7:21
Speaker 1: I get to move how I want to. I mean,
7:23
Speaker 1: it's just a better positive energy all the way around,
7:26

7:27
Speaker 2: That's how I feel. You know what I'm excited for.
7:29
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, what would you say your was
7:30
Speaker 3: your biggest For people who think you just disappeared, what
7:34
Speaker 3: would you attribute that to the reason of that is it?
7:36
Speaker 3: Is it the label thing or is it just like
7:39
Speaker 3: what was? What was? What's the reason why we haven't
7:40
Speaker 3: gotten a lot of music from you in the last
7:42
Speaker 3: few years.
7:44
Speaker 2: It's a label thing. Yeah, it was a label thing,
7:46
Speaker 2: bro for sure.
7:47
Speaker 3: Is it hard to still stay motivated if you feel
7:49
Speaker 3: like you're kind of like, no.
7:54
Speaker 1: I'm still living. You know, my two feet still move,
7:57
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I mean I'm grateful

8:02
Speaker 1: do what I want to do steal, So I love it.
8:05
Speaker 2: I ain't tripping. I always stay motivated.
8:07
Speaker 3: Uh your writing process? Are you the type of artist?
8:11
Speaker 3: Because when I hear your ship, I feel like you
8:12
Speaker 3: lay the melody first and then you go in and
8:15
Speaker 3: feeling the lyrics. Is that what you do? No? Pen
8:19
Speaker 3: straight like.
8:20

Speaker 3: hundred unreleased songs.
8:39

8:42
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that there's gonna be a whole lot of
8:44
Speaker 3: pressure coming from you. H Do you look five years
8:50
Speaker 3: is a long time from having a record that kind
8:53
Speaker 3: of puts you on the forefront of hip hop for
8:55
Speaker 3: a while, right, right? Do you feel like you have
8:59
Speaker 3: to get any of those like because fans have a
9:01
Speaker 3: short attention span extended I mean nowadays, man, I feel
9:06
Speaker 3: like fans are extremely finicky. They're very fair weather fans,
9:12
Speaker 3: Like they'll be fucking with you one day until the
9:14
Speaker 3: next shit comes out.
9:14
Speaker 1: And right, and then that might be better or whatever

Speaker 1: it is right for you.
9:19

14:35
Speaker 3: As I say, like from when you kind of popped
14:37
Speaker 3: initially that now, how do you feel about like kind
14:40
Speaker 3: of the state of Chicago hip hop?
14:43
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. A lot of females is turning up
14:47
Speaker 1: in our city right now. But it's cool right now.
14:52

Speaker 2: So I think Melo Racks from like Miami.
15:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because she's on Y M C n B.
15:24
Speaker 3: I think her. Are you doing any writing or have
15:29
Speaker 3: you done any been doing any writing for any.
15:31
Speaker 2: Other artists as recently?
15:33
Speaker 3: No? Is that ever like a bag you try to
15:35
Speaker 3: get into?
15:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't tapped in, you know,
15:40
Speaker 1: once or twice maybe, you know, I don't. Gave a
15:43
Speaker 1: few artists a few records. I gave Y g a
15:46
Speaker 1: record for one of his past albums. Uh. I gave
15:50
Speaker 1: a few other people some records. I can't really, you know,
15:52
Speaker 1: say nothing.
15:53
Speaker 3: I can't say the White g One you could say, yeah.
15:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was just you know, it was cool.
15:58
Speaker 1: He hit me one time like, yo, you a song
16:01
Speaker 1: with one of my producers. I want it straight like that, like, yo,
16:04
Speaker 1: I want it. I don't want to change nothing on
16:05
Speaker 1: it or nothing. I just want to throw my verse
16:07
Speaker 1: on it.
16:07
Speaker 3: Keep it moving.
16:08
Speaker 2: And it's on the album Boom That's fire, and I'm like,
16:11
Speaker 2: I'm with it.
16:12
Speaker 3: That's dope. Is it hard for you to find like
16:15
Speaker 3: people who are willing to work with you now that
16:19
Speaker 3: you're independent on the production side, that are just willing
16:21
Speaker 3: to kind of like not work with you. But like,
16:23
Speaker 3: like we were talking a little bit off the air,
16:24
Speaker 3: like the biggest part about being independent is the headache
16:27
Speaker 3: of like clear and shit. Yeah, yeah, you know what
16:29
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So it's like it's almost like they might
16:31
Speaker 3: still look at you like you got that RCA budget
16:34
Speaker 3: behind Yeah.
16:34
Speaker 1: See, that's what I was saying, Like I don't think
16:36
Speaker 1: I'm somewhere in between, because people still look at me
16:39
Speaker 1: like that.
16:39
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, They like, yeah, we need
16:41
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand.
16:42
Speaker 3: You know, this ain't RCA on my own.
16:45
Speaker 1: It's out of the pocket, you know what I'm saying.
16:47
Speaker 1: They like, you know that's what it is.
16:50
Speaker 3: That's crazy. I feel like they're because I always hear
16:53
Speaker 3: artists have certain rates, like even if you buy a
16:55
Speaker 3: feature from somebody like the Homies would be like, hey,
16:58
Speaker 3: I'm in I'm in Phoenix home town. Like I tell people,
17:01
Speaker 3: if they're independent, this is the price, but if they're major,
17:04
Speaker 3: this is the price. There's like the indie and the
17:06
Speaker 3: major price. I feel like for beats, that should be
17:08
Speaker 3: the same shit, right it should? Yeah, but or like
17:12
Speaker 3: take a cut, take a nice cut, you know, like
17:15
Speaker 3: let's collaborated.
17:16
Speaker 1: And then producers still won a couple points and all
17:20
Speaker 1: that extra. So it's like, I don't know, man.
17:23
Speaker 3: You gotta get artificial intelligence to make you some bet.
17:27
Speaker 2: That's the thing.
17:28
Speaker 3: I think AI can make beats. Isn't that happening?
17:32
Speaker 2: They can?
17:36
Speaker 3: It's not good. I heard one. I think I heard
17:37
Speaker 3: of fake Timbaland beat that wasn't terrible.
17:39
Speaker 2: You don't think you don't think we're living in a
17:41
Speaker 2: matrix bro.
17:42
Speaker 3: I've really started to think about it more recently with
17:45
Speaker 3: some of the shit that's been happening, because I always
17:48
Speaker 3: would be like, like, when you do you see like
17:52
Speaker 3: the birds frozen in the air. There's like hundreds of
17:56
Speaker 3: videos of just birds that just stopped flying and they're
17:59
Speaker 3: just steal in the air.
18:02
Speaker 2: And they're not flapping the wings and now they're.
18:04
Speaker 3: Just they're just in the they're just paused.
18:07
Speaker 2: Bro, showing me the footage to hold on, bro, let
18:09
Speaker 2: me show you, Bro. I want to see the footage
18:12
Speaker 2: of that.

18:18
Speaker 2: Is that real? Though? Like?

Speaker 3: we got more water. We grab a water over there.

Speaker 3: The ship it looks like a flash.

19:10
Speaker 3: People saying that it's dimensional glitches.
19:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.
19:13
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.
19:14
Speaker 2: I do some research. I don't know.
19:18
Speaker 3: Well, then when you see the like did you see
19:20
Speaker 3: the government official like saying that they're like aliens are real?
19:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've seen that, So that it made me
19:27
Speaker 1: even really be like you're seeing that, Like, what's really
19:29
Speaker 1: going on right now?

19:39
Speaker 1: I just feel like she ain't the only ones walking
19:42
Speaker 1: around this motherfucker like how we think we is.
19:44
Speaker 3: I think that's the facts for sure.
19:46
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
19:47
Speaker 3: I think they're preparing us because.
19:49
Speaker 1: I mean, if you Christian, if a lot of people
19:51
Speaker 1: walk around say they Christian, I mean they mentioned a
19:53
Speaker 1: lot of different creatures inside of that book we read,
19:56
Speaker 1: so she I mean, what did they wipe out the
19:58
Speaker 1: face of the earth. I don't know.
20:02
Speaker 3: You know, so you think it might be some demon

Speaker 3: from like Egypt and ship, some of the ship in
20:31
Speaker 3: those hieroglyphics is like, bro, they got to see this shit.

Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a.
27:44
Speaker 3: You know who Bob is. So back in the day,
27:47
Speaker 3: like Atlantic Records had a hard time popping Bob off,
27:50
Speaker 3: which was on their damn not him because he's extremely talented.
27:53
Speaker 3: So at the time, Bruno Mars was shopping around all
27:57
Speaker 3: these hooks because no one knew who he was. He
27:58
Speaker 3: was just a writer. And uh, what was that first
28:03
Speaker 3: Bob song? Was it Beautiful Girls? So that song go
28:09
Speaker 3: beautiful Girl? What's it called nothing on You? Nothing on You?
28:14
Speaker 1: Oh?
28:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, called nothing on You? So Atlantic was just trying
28:19
Speaker 3: to get somebody to take the song. Loupe Fiasco cut
28:23
Speaker 3: on it and then didn't like it, so it should
28:26
Speaker 3: have been loop a song he passed on it.
28:28
Speaker 2: Why did he do that? I don't know.
28:32
Speaker 3: Igo Goat, by.
28:33
Speaker 2: The way, tweaked one.
28:35
Speaker 3: Of the greatest rappers of all time for talking about
28:36
