Speaker 5: Now, how has it been since you've been home with
1:02
Speaker 5: a couple of months? Now? How has that feeling been,
1:05
Speaker 5: because I've seen even when you move around, you move
1:07
Speaker 5: around a lot lighter.
1:08
Speaker 3: It's more you really look where you're performing now, it's
1:12
Speaker 3: not just performing in any club and strip club. Like
1:15
Speaker 3: I see that you're making a conscious effort to do
1:18
Speaker 3: things a different type of way.
1:19
Speaker 5: So explain that to break that down a little.
1:21
Speaker 6: Bit, you know, Like like when I was down, I
1:24
Speaker 6: just kept telling myself, like you know what I mean, Like,
1:26
Speaker 6: if you want to be the best, you gotta cheat.
1:28
Speaker 4: Yourself like the best. You know what I'm saying.
1:30
Speaker 6: No matter how people view you, no matter what you
1:32
Speaker 6: read in the comments, or if you're not as list
1:35
Speaker 6: everybody else, like, you still have to carry yourself a
1:38
Speaker 6: certain way. And I believe that when you follow that,
1:40
Speaker 6: like when you follow that mindset, it'll coming to fruition.
1:44
Speaker 6: So that's just what I'm doing, Like I'm treating myself
1:46
Speaker 6: like a superstar.
1:49
Speaker 3: Was there a time where you had to cut people
1:50
Speaker 3: off because they came around and they expected old fetti,
1:53
Speaker 3: the wild out fetti. Did you have to cut people
1:55
Speaker 3: off or it was a little easier than that.
1:57
Speaker 6: It already happened when I first came home, Like it
2:00
Speaker 6: wasn't it wasn't. No, it wasn't the space to cut
2:02
Speaker 6: you off, like.
2:03
Speaker 1: I mean, it was already gone.
2:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was already did. Like so we're about to
2:07
Speaker 4: come to the studio. No you're not. You know what
2:09
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, we ain't doing that.
2:12
Speaker 6: So it was like when I when I was when
2:14
Speaker 6: I was calling, nobody was answering. Everybody's trying to pop
2:17
Speaker 6: back up, like when we ain't having nothing. So yeah,
2:20
Speaker 6: it wasn't. It wasn't even It wasn't even a great
2:23
Speaker 6: area to have that conversation with nobody.
2:26
Speaker 2: Any resentment from people because of that, because you set
2:28
Speaker 2: those boundaries.
2:28
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I don't don't speak to them
2:33
Speaker 4: the fund out.
2:34
Speaker 3: You know, I wanted to know to after you did
2:36
Speaker 3: the first album, your voice sounded a certain way right.
2:40
Speaker 5: Then, right after you did the record.
2:43
Speaker 3: The record that sticks out of my mind is the
2:44
Speaker 3: record with Calik, And in those records seemed like something
2:47
Speaker 3: changed with your voice. What was that, because in this
2:50
Speaker 3: project it seems like you got it back. And that
2:51
Speaker 3: was my fear always with you was like the first
2:54
Speaker 3: time they heard you the raw vocals, it sounded different.
2:56
Speaker 3: Then your voice changed. Everything changed. I was like, well,
2:58
Speaker 3: what was that change and how did you get it
2:59
Speaker 3: back to this?
3:01
Speaker 6: Really it was like, uh, I was just trying like
3:04
Speaker 6: different things, like because I was like trying to make
3:09
Speaker 6: another track point so much that I'm like, maybe I
3:11
Speaker 6: should just try something else and then, you know what
3:14
Speaker 6: I mean, if it work, it work.
3:15
Speaker 4: If it don't, then I'll just go back.
3:17
Speaker 6: But I was doing different things so much I forgot
3:20
Speaker 6: how to you know what I mean, Like I forgot
3:22
Speaker 6: how to spin back.
3:23
Speaker 4: But I'm like, you know what, this.
3:24
Speaker 6: Time I set back and I'm just like I got
3:26
Speaker 6: to get back in that groove. So with this whole project,
3:29
Speaker 6: it was more so like let me just try to
3:31
Speaker 6: be more of a creator than a creative than than
3:35
Speaker 6: just just trying to make songs to put out, you
3:37
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So I'm like, that's how I
3:39
Speaker 6: got to get back in that bag. Like when I
3:40
Speaker 6: did The Trap Queen six seven nine and all those records,
3:43
Speaker 6: like it was just me having fun being creative, like
3:45
Speaker 6: just doing something different, like let me try this out
3:47
Speaker 6: and see how it's sound like, And that's what I
3:49
Speaker 6: did with this one. Like, so, like to answer your
3:52
Speaker 6: question earlier, that's why I felt like you know, I'm like, yeah,
3:55
Speaker 6: like I'm ready for it, like you you know, you
3:57
Speaker 6: know how I record.
3:58
Speaker 4: I'm nothing new, like no, I do that. I'm in
4:01
Speaker 4: there a lot.
4:02
Speaker 6: I record a lot of records, but this time I
4:04
Speaker 6: took my time recording the records, you know what I mean.
4:06
Speaker 6: Like even though it happened a little faster, but I
4:09
Speaker 6: felt like I felt like like I found that sound again,
4:12
Speaker 6: Like I found that So yeah, that's I feel like
4:18
Speaker 6: I feel like that that voice came back, like this time.
4:20
Speaker 7: You're singing a lot more on the album.
4:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, we get to hear the vocals.
4:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
4:25
Speaker 7: That's like on purpose or it's like definitely purposely.
4:29
Speaker 4: I definitely purposely did it, like.
4:33
Speaker 6: Because you know, I like I always been like the melody,
4:35
Speaker 6: like the melody dude, you know what I'm saying.
4:37
Speaker 4: But like I'm like I could do I could do
4:39
Speaker 4: a little bit more.
4:40
Speaker 7: You got vocals on him.
4:42
Speaker 4: I'm trying to you know what I mean. I'm trying to.
4:44
Speaker 4: I ain't trying to do too much. I ain't trying
4:46
Speaker 4: to do too much, but.
4:47
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to Jack hollow on.
4:50
Speaker 4: So good. I appreciate that. I appreciate that for sure.
4:52
Speaker 1: How do you measure your your own growth as an
4:55
Speaker 1: artist when you're creating.
4:56
Speaker 6: A project from the people, honestly, like from the people
5:01
Speaker 6: Like I like this time around when I was recording,
5:03
Speaker 6: like I tried to have people I don't know, like
5:06
Speaker 6: like people I don't know there and I just I
5:09
Speaker 6: just read the energy in the room. Like if people
5:11
Speaker 6: on their phone too much or they're not paying attention.
5:13
Speaker 4: They scratch it. You know what I'm saying.
5:16
Speaker 6: Damn, Like if I start I see people, you know
5:19
Speaker 6: what I mean, like, ah, yeah, we're gonna keep that one,
5:21
Speaker 6: Like you know what I'm saying. And that's how I
5:22
Speaker 6: kind of you know, like cause if you got the
5:24
Speaker 6: guys there, I mean, that's all. Like I don't even
5:29
Speaker 6: say that brois go.
5:31
Speaker 4: Ride the round.
5:32
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
5:32
Speaker 2: I don't know what really was not because you might
5:34
Speaker 2: turn the beat on it, you might just bop because
5:36
Speaker 2: they there in the moment and just being on the
5:38
Speaker 2: phone don't necessarily mean you're not listening.
5:40
Speaker 1: That's just exactly the way the world is.
5:42
Speaker 6: Noah, So throughout the process, like if you've ever been
5:44
Speaker 6: in like if you've ever been to anybody's sessions, like
5:46
Speaker 6: you know, some people take two hours to make a song,
5:49
Speaker 6: some people take a day. Some people might do it
5:52
Speaker 6: in thirty minutes. Like you know what I mean, I'm
5:54
Speaker 6: kind of a little bit quicker, but uh uh, that
5:57
Speaker 6: process of not bringing back right there, all right, bring
5:59
Speaker 6: me here here, all right, let me let me do
6:00
Speaker 6: these doubles right here, and let me do this. You know,
6:03
Speaker 6: on the outside, it's quiet. You know, the engineer got
6:07
Speaker 6: to hear you, so it's real quiet out there. So
6:08
Speaker 6: people just kind of just waiting. So if they reacting
6:11
Speaker 6: every time that beat drop, all right, no, like you
6:14
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, you kind of yeah, they feeling
6:16
Speaker 6: this a little bit, you know what I mean. And
6:17
Speaker 6: then when it's time to do the playback, everybody just started,
6:20
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, everybody start having fun.
6:22
Speaker 4: They jamming.
6:23
Speaker 6: So like if it's not going that way, even when
6:26
Speaker 6: the playback come, it's like, all maybe that's not the one.
6:29
Speaker 7: I kind of like that.
6:30
Speaker 8: That's like like a open mic type of situation, Like
6:33
Speaker 8: where do you get the people from if they don't
6:35
Speaker 8: know you.
6:35
Speaker 6: Like, so like I just invite like like friends that
6:40
Speaker 6: I met, like like that when I was in prison.
6:42
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying yeah exactly, like you know
6:45
Speaker 4: what I mean.
6:46
Speaker 6: Like they family like they'll just tell you, you know,
6:48
Speaker 6: I mean, just tell you they want, you know, my
6:50
Speaker 6: sister want to meet you, you know me. Stuff like
6:52
Speaker 6: that you bring to the stupid like and it'd be
6:54
Speaker 6: like probably like five six people there, like for six
6:56
Speaker 6: seven people not so much. And I just see how
6:59
Speaker 6: to react when I'm recording and be like that, Like
7:01
Speaker 6: I have like a few dudes from like a few
7:04
Speaker 6: like media outlets and stuff like that, like see how
7:06
Speaker 6: they reacting, know what I mean.
7:08
Speaker 4: And that's just really how I've been doing it.
7:10
Speaker 6: Like I just try to like I'm trying to get
7:12
Speaker 6: comfortable being uncomfortable.
7:15
Speaker 1: So that's how you grow. That's where you know you're growing.
7:17
Speaker 9: When what music are you listening to right now? Like
7:19
Speaker 9: inspiration wise, because a lot of the sounds on this
7:21
Speaker 9: project too, it's like there's a lot of jazzy like
7:24
Speaker 9: swing like and.
7:25
Speaker 10: I'm like, but what's his playlist? Like like where is
7:26

Speaker 6: But when it's time of like to make music, you know,
7:37
Speaker 6: I still like tune into what's going on now, so
7:39
Speaker 6: I don't be outdated, you know what I'm saying. And
7:42
Speaker 6: I just try to mix everything together. Like I don't
7:45
Speaker 6: feel like music should have like a like a one track,
7:48
Speaker 6: like you know what I'm saying, Like I feel like
7:49
Speaker 6: it should be it should be fun like to listen
7:51

13:25
Speaker 6: Like whenever I do any new music, it's gonna either
13:29
Speaker 6: end with those songs like that's my clothes and set.
13:32
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, because this is this is
13:34
Speaker 6: that's what everybody know me for. Like when people see me,

13:39
Speaker 6: call me seventeen thirty eight, so you know what i mean. Like,
13:43

13:47
Speaker 6: when you when you're chasing something so bad and everybody
13:49

13:54
Speaker 6: mental like you know what I'm saying, especially when you're
13:56
Speaker 6: trying to make music, but it's not happening no more,
13:59
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like they just can't. Nobody
14:02
Speaker 6: has that effect on my on my energy no more,
14:04

14:05
Speaker 6: forever grateful for that, Like I'm proud. I'm proud to
14:08
Speaker 6: say like I'm the one that wrote those records, like
14:11
Speaker 6: I didn't have no no writers, no, no ghostwriters, Like
14:15
Speaker 6: I did all those records myself. You know so well
14:19

14:22
Speaker 6: mean like it's a different time for me, bro Like,
14:25

14:27
Speaker 6: time and my energy at different time in my spirit
14:29
Speaker 6: bro Like, I'm just different, like you know. So when
14:31
Speaker 6: I hear numbers, I'm grateful to hear them, Like a
14:34

14:35
Speaker 6: people don't have double diamonds and diamond records, like you
14:38

14:53
Speaker 2: Like if you're truly growing and evolving and you're a
14:56
Speaker 2: whole different human being right now, there's no way you

32:35
Speaker 9: told like your kids you didn't even want them coming
32:37
Speaker 9: to see you after a while, didn't. So what what
32:41
Speaker 9: were the conver what are the conversations like just about
32:43
Speaker 9: that time, because they probably wanted to know what that
32:45
Speaker 9: time period was like for me.
32:46
Speaker 6: They knew what was going on, Like I still spoke
32:48
Speaker 6: some over the phone as far as like coming to
32:50
Speaker 6: see me in prison. Now you know, it's just it's like, uh,
32:56
Speaker 6: when I visit over man, like like I said, they.
32:58
Speaker 4: Got the power you know what I mean, Like like
33:01
Speaker 4: one thing I can't say though. The only good thing
33:03
Speaker 4: is like they allow you to have your kid with
33:05
Speaker 4: you the whole time, Like you.
33:08
Speaker 7: Can see them, hold.
33:09
Speaker 4: Them the whole time.

33:17
Speaker 4: And when they say all right, that come on, like nah,
33:21
Speaker 4: I can't come right now.
33:22
Speaker 6: So when you're coming, like I mean, I don't want
33:26
Speaker 6: to keep having this conversation every week, then I go back.
33:30
Speaker 4: They could just be somebody playing at the wrong time,
