- 0:13Speaker 4: Thanks for having me.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Ho, are you feeling?
- 0:15Speaker 3: I feel good. I think the last time we did this,
- 0:16Speaker 3: we might have been on a Zoom call. So it's
- 0:19Speaker 3: cool to be in person.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it was zoom. How's your spirit? How's your energy?
- 0:22Speaker 3: I'm super good. I'm like, probably the best.
- 0:25Speaker 4: I've ever been.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Amazing, and why is that?
- 0:28Speaker 3: I think just life is really cool. I think I
- 0:29Speaker 3: made something I'm stoked about. My fans are stoked. I
- 0:32Speaker 3: got to do all these cool signings and see all
- 0:34Speaker 3: of them in person, and just like be back in
- 0:36Speaker 3: the swing of things.
- 0:36Speaker 2: So I'm good, I said. They say you're a gym wrap.
- 0:39Speaker 2: They said you up at six o'clock this morning in
- 0:41Speaker 2: the gym. They say every morning.
- 0:43Speaker 3: They might have lied about this morning. I was dead
- 0:46Speaker 3: sleep this morning. But yeah, I'm up. I'm always about
- 0:49Speaker 3: my fitness stuff. I'm super healthy and the healthiest I've
- 0:52Speaker 3: also ever been.
- 0:53Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been watching videos of you all weekend
- 0:55Speaker 1: in New York and like you know, a lot of
- 0:57Speaker 1: people have been coming to your signings and you pop
- 0:59Speaker 1: up crazy make you feel getting that type of love.
- 1:02Speaker 3: It's been cool. I mean, I've been doing this for
- 1:04Speaker 3: so long, and I've been doing signings for so long,
- 1:06Speaker 3: and at some point, like my brain tricked me into
- 1:08Speaker 3: being like, you know, they're probably gonna lessen over the years,
- 1:11Speaker 3: because it's like, you know, we've seen her a bunch,
- 1:12Speaker 3: she dropped a bunch of projects. I'm on project seven
- 1:15Speaker 3: or six on project six is a seven seven? Oh,
- 1:18Speaker 3: I was right, see so much music. I forgot that,
- 1:22Speaker 3: you know, I didn't expect it to be getting bigger.
- 1:25Speaker 3: So they're actually the craziest signings I've ever had so
- 1:28Speaker 3: far because it's growing, and that's you know, that's all
- 1:30Speaker 3: you can pray for.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I will say, you know, listening to your new album
- 1:34Speaker 1: and just seeing you over the last few months several
- 1:37Speaker 1: months talking like there's a confidence in a sense of
- 1:39Speaker 1: self that you have now that you didn't have years ago.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, Why is that? I mean, I think
- 1:46Speaker 3: it's been a long mental health journey. I think it's
- 1:48Speaker 3: been a lot of contributing factors, new motherhood, different angles
- 1:54Speaker 3: of like publicly being publicly aligned with certain things are
- 1:58Speaker 3: publicly misaligned. They're just like not stepping into myself. I'm
- 2:01Speaker 3: twenty nine, I'll be thirty next year. Like I'm just
- 2:04Speaker 3: I'm growing up in a real way, so like I
- 2:06Speaker 3: know how to prioritize and take care of myself differently.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Now, So why did you name the album Crash?
- 2:12Speaker 3: So essentially, a crash is the height and the peak
- 2:16Speaker 3: of a moment. It isn't like the anxiety that comes before,
- 2:19Speaker 3: and it isn't like the overthinking that comes after. It's
- 2:22Speaker 3: just this like, excuse me, cluster fuck.
- 2:25Speaker 4: It's just this this.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Thing that happens. And I knew this album wasn't gonna
- 2:29Speaker 3: make sense to most people. I knew that it would
- 2:31Speaker 3: be something that you either loved or that you hated,
- 2:33Speaker 3: and that kind of just is a crash, And that's
- 2:36Speaker 3: kind of been The reception is some people hate it,
- 2:38Speaker 3: some people love it, and people think it's my worst
- 2:39Speaker 3: and some people think it's my best. And I think
- 2:41Speaker 3: that's really cool.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It's a little bit of everything.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a crash. It's really a.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Cool everything with that, what you wanted.
- 2:48Speaker 3: To do, you know, I didn't start wanting to do
- 2:51Speaker 3: that it started as myself titled and I went on
- 2:52Speaker 3: this mission to like make finally make the Kailani album
- 2:55Speaker 3: because I haven't done that yet. And we started in
- 2:59Speaker 3: like going to all these different cities and we got
- 3:00Speaker 3: all these airbnbs in different places, and it just kind
- 3:03Speaker 3: of grew into this thing that resembled I feel like
- 3:07Speaker 3: me as a person. I feel like I've always been
- 3:08Speaker 3: kind of this thing that doesn't make sense to everyone.
- 3:11Speaker 3: They can't figure out, like who I am, what I am,
- 3:13Speaker 3: what my story is, how it's been all of these
- 3:15Speaker 3: things like can't figure me out and whatever kind of
- 3:18Speaker 3: way how I look versus how what kind of music
- 3:20Speaker 3: I make, how I sound? And once it started taking
- 3:24Speaker 3: its own life, I was like, oh, okay, it's just
- 3:25Speaker 3: me as an album.
- 3:26Speaker 2: So what is the self titled Kilania album supposed to
- 3:30Speaker 2: be like? Because you said it was supposed to be
- 3:31Speaker 2: a Kilania album, what was that supposed to.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Well, that album, to me, is more rooted in the
- 3:38Speaker 3: core things that shaped why I sing. I feel like
- 3:41Speaker 3: the Kilani album will be much more referencing like my
- 3:44Speaker 3: actual core musical references. It'll probably be a lot more
- 3:47Speaker 3: R and B. But this album really reflected all the
- 3:49Speaker 3: things that I listened to, like that I grew up
- 3:53Speaker 3: listening to, but didn't necessarily shape my identity as an artist,
- 3:56Speaker 3: but reflect like, you know, worldly where I'm at.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Basically, we're still getting kaylaning oubum.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Absolutely, that'll probably be my next album. Probably. Yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Lose My Wife as such a toxic record. It is
- 4:07Speaker 1: so toxic kl Why would you make those choices and
- 4:12Speaker 1: decisions knowing that it could cost you your wife?
- 4:14Speaker 3: Oh? You know, it's not a true story. I just
- 4:16Speaker 3: wanted to do so in my head, Crash is the
- 4:22Speaker 3: story of this anti hero version of myself that goes
- 4:25Speaker 3: to Vegas and has this crazy run in Vegas and
- 4:29Speaker 3: ends with that lament of like damn. I've like, oh
- 4:32Speaker 3: this is crashed instantly, and it's almost like the come
- 4:34Speaker 3: down song of like oh, these are the decisions that
- 4:37Speaker 3: I've made and like this is what happens. So it's
- 4:39Speaker 3: more of like a sonic story and an ending to
- 4:41Speaker 3: the story than a true story that I needed to
- 4:44Speaker 3: smack on there. It kind of feels like the Hungover
- 4:47Speaker 3: song kind of feels like the next day you're like.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Oh shit, this is your shadow side exactly. Yeah, when
- 4:53Speaker 1: you were in the studio writing these songs. You were like,
- 4:55Speaker 1: I'm gonna let my shadow side.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I was like, you know, there is. There's been so
- 4:59Speaker 3: many toxic so it really has. There really has, And
- 5:03Speaker 3: I feel like it's they are moments that people don't
- 5:06Speaker 3: people maybe want to say in their head and been
- 5:08Speaker 3: like I've had that perspective, or I've gone through that,
- 5:10Speaker 3: or I've wanted to say that, and like I would
- 5:12Speaker 3: never say it out loud and to me. After I
- 5:14Speaker 3: wrote that verse, I was like, this is kind of
- 5:16Speaker 3: like stingy and it is kind of harsh. But some
- 5:20Speaker 3: people feel like that.
- 5:22Speaker 1: But when I hear songs like after Hours or like
- 5:24Speaker 1: Better than Not or Tears, it does feel like you're
- 5:27Speaker 1: longing for a stable relationship, does it a little bit?
- 5:33Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I think everybody wants love, everybody wants
- 5:36Speaker 3: stable love, and we all just have different journeys to it.
- 5:38Speaker 4: You know.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Yeah, how has motherhood been?
- 5:40Speaker 3: Oh, it's the best journey.
- 5:42Speaker 4: It's the best.
- 5:42Speaker 3: She's five, I can't believe it. Yeah, And that that's
- 5:48Speaker 3: a different I got a third thing. I'm literally like,
- 5:53Speaker 3: I'll make the day seem so fun. I'm like, we're
- 5:55Speaker 3: going with the aquarium and we're going here, We're going here,
- 5:57Speaker 3: and then she's like, no kind of I just want
- 6:00Speaker 3: to stay in the house and play. I'm like, jeez,
- 6:02Speaker 3: what are we gonna do. The other day took her
- 6:04Speaker 3: to the park and she was like, I'm just letting
- 6:06Speaker 3: you guys know I'm not playing with any of those kids.
- 6:08Speaker 3: And I was like, I respect it, but maybe we
- 6:10Speaker 3: should try. And she made some friends, and she's in school,
- 6:14Speaker 3: so like she is friends, she still.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Got musical interest. I heard you say one time she
- 6:18Speaker 1: had some.
- 6:19Speaker 3: She's on the album she's on Deep. She actually sounds
- 6:21Speaker 3: so good that you can't really tell that it's her
- 6:24Speaker 3: except for her tone is obviously sounds a lot younger
- 6:27Speaker 3: than mine. But she's singing her asshole.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Do you want her in the industry.
- 6:31Speaker 3: I want her to do whatever she wants to do.
- 6:32Speaker 3: If that means industry, sure, If that means she wants
- 6:34Speaker 3: my help, sure, If that means she doesn't want my help, sure.
- 6:36Speaker 3: If that means she wants to be a rein surgeon
- 6:38Speaker 3: or a rocket scientist, let's do that. It's her world.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I'm just here.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Is the industry good for kids? I mean, you're somebody
- 6:44Speaker 1: who came in the industry young.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I think that compared like, there's two different There's there's
- 6:52Speaker 3: pros and cons on both sides. One, I didn't have
- 6:55Speaker 3: access to the proper like mental wellness type of regimen
- 7:00Speaker 3: or care to have grown up in it the way
- 7:03Speaker 3: that I did. And we're seeing the effects of people
- 7:05Speaker 3: who you know, adults now and all these stories are
- 7:07Speaker 3: coming out about them being like child stars are coming
- 7:10Speaker 3: out young. And on the flip side, I feel like
- 7:13Speaker 3: people now have access to that, But there's it's also
- 7:15Speaker 3: a different demon fame now is completely different. It's why
- 7:19Speaker 3: I don't really post my daughter.
- 7:20Speaker 4: I don't.
- 7:21Speaker 3: There's too many creeps. I don't ever hear it ever
- 7:23Speaker 3: look back and be like, I actually didn't consent to
- 7:25Speaker 3: any of this. I didn't give any permission. We already
- 7:28Speaker 3: get embarrassed when our parents play home videos for our
- 7:30Speaker 3: friends when they come over, Like if I'm just subjecting
- 7:33Speaker 3: my child to her home video, her freaking growing up
- 7:36Speaker 3: home videos being widely known all over the internet, and
- 7:39Speaker 3: she grows up one day and it's like, I didn't
- 7:40Speaker 3: get to tell you if I wanted that or not.
- 7:42Speaker 3: You know, that's not me as a parent, So.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Yeah, any more babies. I would love to.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Have more babies. Whatever God wants to bless me with
- 7:48Speaker 3: I receive.
- 7:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Can we talk about the record? What I want?
- 7:51Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 7:52Speaker 1: I want a bitch that look better than me? Pussy get.
- 7:57Speaker 4: You reading it so serious?
- 7:59Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 8:01Speaker 3: What I want?
- 8:07Speaker 1: So excited to read on that record, it seems like
- 8:09Speaker 1: you're torn between wanting to be spoiled but also feeling
- 8:11Speaker 1: comfortable being the one who spoils.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm definitely like I fluctuate. Absolutely. I think
- 8:18Speaker 3: I'm more of a giver than a receiver of like spoiling.
- 8:21Speaker 3: I think that's just my nature. But I it's just
- 8:24Speaker 3: a classic song about naming all the things that I want.
- 8:27Speaker 3: I don't think any of them are even cohesive. I
- 8:29Speaker 3: think they're just like, here's a list of all the
- 8:31Speaker 3: all my dream things that I want.
- 8:32Speaker 1: If you having a while weekend in Vegas, why would
- 8:34Speaker 1: you lie to a woman like that? Why would you
- 8:36Speaker 1: make her feel?
- 8:39Speaker 3: Isn't that what you do in Vegas? Doesn't Vegas make you? No?
- 8:42Speaker 3: Not like that? But I'm saying, does it? It's Vegas,
- 8:44Speaker 3: not like some adult Disneyland, like all your vices and
- 8:49Speaker 3: you don't talk about it. Actually, actually I have a
- 8:53Speaker 3: tiny residency in Vegas. Thank you. I have a show,
- 8:55Speaker 3: thank you. I have a show at the end of
- 8:57Speaker 3: next month and in August. That's what I do in Vegas.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Yeah, because even on the song Vegas maybe I'm tripping,
- 9:02Speaker 1: it didn't sound like you was actually in Vegas. You
- 9:04Speaker 1: just said what we do is like Vegas exactly.
- 9:07Speaker 3: The only I made a couple of songs. Actually I
- 9:10Speaker 3: made part of what I Want in Vegas. I made
- 9:12Speaker 3: part of SUSI on Vegas. I mean actually I made
- 9:15Speaker 3: most of SUSI on Vegas and a part of Groove
- 9:17Speaker 3: Theory in Vegas. But the song Vegas I made in
- 9:19Speaker 3: Los Angeles, Okay, And then on my go to.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Vegas the full in love like they go to create
- 9:25Speaker 4: had fun, you know.
- 9:27Speaker 3: To the person who said, I'm lying what going on?
- 9:31Speaker 4: We don't know?
- 9:32Speaker 1: Hell, the record Sushi a Sushi doesn't mean, isn't that's fantasy.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Sushia sushi.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And that's dirty yeah, dirty girl.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go, biling Is that what the record? Yeah?
- 9:54Speaker 3: Basically I mean Young Miko's versus Crazy if it's translated,
- 9:58Speaker 3: and Jill Scott is free, Auntie Max Extreme is the
- 10:04Speaker 3: freak Lord honestly the original freak. So I had to
- 10:08Speaker 3: tap her in. Yeah, yeah, she that was an honor.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I noticed that she don't have a lot of features. Yeah,
- 10:13Speaker 3: was that intentional? No, I tried to get more features.
- 10:16Speaker 3: There was a couple of things that were going on,
- 10:17Speaker 3: different time things and not necessarily being aligned at the time,
- 10:22Speaker 3: different people not aligning with me, and just things not
- 10:24Speaker 3: making sense. But the ones that did stick around for
- 10:27Speaker 3: me and really, you know, held me down. I'm super
- 10:29Speaker 3: appreciative and they killed it.
- 10:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Now After Hours, were you surprised of how fast I
- 10:33Speaker 2: took off, especially on social media?
- 10:35Speaker 4: Crazy?
- 10:36Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a huge dance.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I honestly you have to give a lot of
- 10:40Speaker 3: credit to Darius Hickman, who's an incredible dancer, and he
- 10:43Speaker 3: was in the After Hours video and he left rehearsal
- 10:46Speaker 3: for one of the for the After Hours video. I
- 10:48Speaker 3: went home and just like made this little dance on
- 10:50Speaker 3: TikTok and it just like it took it on one.
- 10:53Speaker 3: I think it's such a testament to how powerful like
- 10:55Speaker 3: dance is and how like dancers are, like DJ's like
- 10:58Speaker 3: they could really break songs like it's I give him
- 11:01Speaker 3: all the credit for that because it's crazy.
- 11:02Speaker 4: Do you know who Loomi d was beforehand?
- 11:04Speaker 5: Yeah, of course you disrespect her like that, like of
- 11:11Speaker 5: course the one song you know, maybe people she have one?
- 11:16Speaker 3: I think she had one.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Now. You also mentioned that this album isn't rooted in
- 11:20Speaker 1: your personal experiences are relationships like your previous albums? Are
- 11:24Speaker 1: you saying that just so you don't get in trouble
- 11:26Speaker 1: and people be like, damn, Colode's so toxic?
- 11:28Speaker 3: No, I think I think anytime a running I want
- 11:32Speaker 3: you to so bad, so bad. You know what's so
- 11:36Speaker 3: funny is I think people would be surprised if they
- 11:39Speaker 3: sat down with me to to actually ask and inquire
- 11:41Speaker 3: about my experiences, because they might look one way, but
- 11:44Speaker 3: it's so many different scenarios that lead to while my
- 11:47Speaker 3: love life looks the way it does, and so many
- 11:50Speaker 3: that you'd be surprised. Who what's happened with this? And
- 11:52Speaker 3: what's happened with this? And it's just it's my business
- 11:55Speaker 3: and it's my world, and I'm pretty much in good
- 11:57Speaker 3: standing with anybody ever, So like running through these chicks
- 12:01Speaker 3: is extreme? You do really want me to be a pampan?
- 12:03Speaker 4: You know?
- 12:03Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I'll just start embodying it. Maybe maybe I
- 12:08Speaker 3: just accept it.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Does that bother people in your in your in your
- 12:13Speaker 2: regular business, not just your music business all the time?
- 12:16Speaker 3: No, I think it came. It comes with the territory.
- 12:18Speaker 3: I think I got. I hated it so bad, But
- 12:22Speaker 3: I also I have been again, your mental health journey
- 12:26Speaker 3: and your journey in being a public facing person, those
- 12:30Speaker 3: have to be in lockstep like those if you are
- 12:32Speaker 3: ever having poor mental health. There are so many times
- 12:35Speaker 3: I could say I've been at a table with y'all
- 12:37Speaker 3: and been in the worst states of my life and
- 12:39Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, that interview is going to be whatever.
- 12:41Speaker 3: And times I've been like, I'm actually not doing interviews
- 12:43Speaker 3: this year because all of this shit. And absolutely, but
- 12:48Speaker 3: I've also was not in a positive space to even
- 12:52Speaker 3: be able to walk in a room and like hold that. Granted,
- 12:55Speaker 3: I think the interview at the time that caused things
- 12:58Speaker 3: like that, was it my favorite experience with someone. No,
- 13:01Speaker 3: but I also at multiple times in my career just
- 13:04Speaker 3: have not been just aligned with where I needed to
- 13:07Speaker 3: be to be able to show up in that way.
- 13:08Speaker 3: So now I can hold that you could probably say
- 13:11Speaker 3: anything to me and I'd be like, all right, cool.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I've record label's gotten to the point where they actually
- 13:15Speaker 1: respect our artists mental health, meaning like if you wake
- 13:17Speaker 1: up a morning and you say, look, I'm not doing
- 13:18Speaker 1: no interviews today, I'm not doing no interviews for the
- 13:20Speaker 1: next six months, but they're like, no, you have to,
- 13:23Speaker 1: like they'll push you to do it anyway.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Well, I've been signed to the same label since I
- 13:25Speaker 3: was nineteen years old and I'm twenty nine, and they
- 13:29Speaker 3: have seen me through everything, So I think they're at
- 13:32Speaker 3: the point with me where they're like, we get it,
- 13:35Speaker 3: and we also know what you are going to show
- 13:37Speaker 3: up and show out for, and that's you know, your fans.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Like I never I never play about my fans. I
- 13:42Speaker 3: never played for showing, you know, showing up for them.
- 13:45Speaker 3: And we've always been super transparent, developed a really good
- 13:47Speaker 3: relationship with people in media to where like I've been
- 13:50Speaker 3: able to call people personally and been like, it's not you,
- 13:53Speaker 3: I promise, like I'm not doing well, or I've been
- 13:55Speaker 3: on a run and going and going and going for
- 13:57Speaker 3: six days and I just need to come in a
- 13:59Speaker 3: little later, I need to reschedule this, and people have
- 14:01Speaker 3: been super gracious with me.
- 14:02Speaker 1: So I'm a huge mental health advocate. So what got
- 14:05Speaker 1: you to that place where you are? Now? You know?
- 14:08Speaker 1: And I mean, and I know it's a journey. I
- 14:10Speaker 1: know it's up, so I know it's down. But what
- 14:11Speaker 1: got you to this?
- 14:13Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, I'm going to use this moment to be
- 14:16Speaker 3: really transparent and to really advocate for people, you know,
- 14:19Speaker 3: getting psychiatric care. And I got a psychiatrist and I
- 14:22Speaker 3: got a proper diagnosis after what felt like years of
- 14:25Speaker 3: getting soft diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and I'm able to get
- 14:29Speaker 3: medicated help and it keeps my mood stable and I'm
- 14:32Speaker 3: here and it keeps me like I would absolutely recommend
- 14:35Speaker 3: it to anybody that feels like they need it, because
- 14:37Speaker 3: it's not something that anybody needs to shame or like
- 14:40Speaker 3: be nervous about. And it's probably the best thing I've
- 14:42Speaker 3: ever done for myself.
- 14:43Speaker 4: What got you there?
- 14:44Speaker 2: Because most people, like you said, they feel like they
- 14:46Speaker 2: can't talk about it, they can't discuss it, they can't
- 14:48Speaker 2: get the help because they don't want to be shamed,
- 14:49Speaker 2: especially a celebrity. You feel like somebody will see me
- 14:52Speaker 2: do this, that and the other. What got you to
- 14:53Speaker 2: the point was like, f this, I need to get help.
- 14:55Speaker 3: You know, I was medicated when I was a kid,
- 14:57Speaker 3: and I remember not having the most proper experience with it,
- 15:03Speaker 3: just because I was really young, and like you're in
- 15:05Speaker 3: school and like every kid has ADHD and like it's hyperactive,
- 15:09Speaker 3: and I had to be in like the third grade
- 15:16Speaker 3: on riddling and it really messed with my personality, and
- 15:19Speaker 3: my mom was like, yeah, no, like you can't be
- 15:21Speaker 3: a zombie. Like I'll take hyperactive, turn the you know
- 15:24Speaker 3: over like whatever this zombie, you know. And then on
- 15:29Speaker 3: top of that, still I just remained with the psychiatrist,
- 15:32Speaker 3: and then you know, went into a teenagehood and I
- 15:34Speaker 3: didn't have that anymore. And then I became an adult
- 15:36Speaker 3: and just like my experiences in the music industry and
- 15:40Speaker 3: the amount of like honestly PTSD that that causes, paired
- 15:45Speaker 3: with you know, all your childhood trauma and like all
- 15:48Speaker 3: these things, you kind of get to a point where
- 15:50Speaker 3: you're like, all right, I'm not an expert. Like I
- 15:52Speaker 3: can't keep being the one to dictate this or to
- 15:55Speaker 3: supplement or like to to try to fix it, ice
- 15:58Speaker 3: to smoke a lot of weed. Can't do it, won't
- 16:00Speaker 3: do it. I haven't been a smoker in five years.
- 16:05Speaker 3: People bring me wet all the time, and I'm like, dang, that's.
- 16:09Speaker 1: About Indigo kind of calms your anxiety. So Teva makes
- 16:12Speaker 1: you have panic.
- 16:13Speaker 3: You know. It was because I got pregnant and I
- 16:15Speaker 3: couldn't and then I got I went to a throat
- 16:17Speaker 3: doctor and he was like, Oh, you don't want to
- 16:19Speaker 3: sing for the rest of your life the way your
- 16:20Speaker 3: shit looks cause I was smoking backwards. I was smoking
- 16:22Speaker 3: blunts like I was what you can find pictures of
- 16:25Speaker 3: me with like backwoods like packs spread out like like
- 16:28Speaker 3: like a money spread psychotic and just nasty, just nasty.
- 16:35Speaker 3: And it just I couldn't do it anymore. And I'm
- 16:38Speaker 3: just I got to a point where I was like, Okay,
- 16:39Speaker 3: I'm doing all the things that I can possibly do.
- 16:42Speaker 3: I'm going to the gym, I'm developing good hobbies. I'm
- 16:46Speaker 3: not going out and I'm not doing this and I'm
- 16:48Speaker 3: still struggling. It's to the point where I need to call,
- 16:50Speaker 3: you know, I need to ask for help.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Did it affect your art when you're on whatever medication?
- 16:56Speaker 3: No, No, it doesn't. It honestly is the first time,
- 17:00Speaker 3: maybe ever in my life that I feel like I
- 17:03Speaker 3: have been.
- 17:04Speaker 4: I have.
- 17:04Speaker 3: I'm clear.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Yes, Oh congratulates. Like I told you when we first started,
- 17:08Speaker 1: you can really see it's a different level of confidence,
- 17:11Speaker 1: it's a different level sense of security.
- 17:12Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, absolutely, thank you.
- 17:14Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Now we're doing this album. You know, usually people see
- 17:17Speaker 2: Kalani as an R and B artist, but this album
- 17:20Speaker 2: is popped its country, there's house music, is reggae music.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Were you nervous at all and be like my fan fans,
- 17:26Speaker 2: my core won't get it.
- 17:27Speaker 3: I actually felt the opposite. I felt like my core fans,
- 17:30Speaker 3: my actual core fans, would get it because there's been
- 17:33Speaker 3: hints of all these things. When my mixhape was nominated
- 17:37Speaker 3: for a Grammy, it wasn't nominated for R and B.
- 17:38Speaker 3: It was nominated for like Contemporary, you know, R and B.
- 17:42Speaker 3: So there's been hints of things my whole life, and
- 17:45Speaker 3: I felt like they would really understand. I felt like
- 17:49Speaker 3: everybody else who really loved one really R and B
- 17:52Speaker 3: project of mine, or like R and B SoundCloud drops
- 17:55Speaker 3: or features would be like, what is this and so
- 17:58Speaker 3: far for the most part, that's kind of what I've seen.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Plus this little subgroup of people who are going like, Wow,
- 18:04Speaker 3: I didn't even know she had this in her. This
- 18:06Speaker 3: is what's gonna make me fuck with her. So it's honestly,
- 18:08Speaker 3: it's been cool. I'm kind of really liking the polarity
- 18:11Speaker 3: of the response at this point. If I make the
- 18:12Speaker 3: same album again, I'm not an artist If I make
- 18:15Speaker 3: the same project after seven projects. This is my chance
- 18:18Speaker 3: to pivot, and I took it, and I'm just I'm stoked.
- 18:21Speaker 4: To be here.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Is exactly exactly. Some people are like, this is the
- 18:28Speaker 3: best thing I've ever heard you do, and some people
- 18:30Speaker 3: are like this is chicken scratch and it sounds like
- 18:32Speaker 3: noise and I hate it. It's like, oh, I don't
- 18:35Speaker 3: listen to anyone. I made the album I wanted to make,
- 18:37Speaker 3: and I'm happy with it.
- 18:38Speaker 4: It's a bunch of different genres and it's so different.
- 18:41Speaker 3: It was so fun to make. I had it was
- 18:43Speaker 3: the funnest process. It was so many people involved that
- 18:46Speaker 3: were all feel the exact same way about it. It
- 18:48Speaker 3: felt like our album, not just mine. We got to
- 18:50Speaker 3: celebrate it, like I'm happy.
- 18:52Speaker 1: I keep hearing you talk about your fitness journey. Yeah,
- 18:55Speaker 1: but then they said recently you were body shamed on.
- 18:59Speaker 3: You know, it was interesting body shame because what it
- 19:01Speaker 3: was was the accusations that I got ab etching. But yeah,
- 19:10Speaker 3: it's it's really interesting. The thing is I have diascesis
- 19:13Speaker 3: right that and a hernia from being pregnant, so my
- 19:16Speaker 3: muscles are split down the middle. So I have I
- 19:19Speaker 3: have this space right here and this I have like
- 19:21Speaker 3: a lump because it's my intestine, it's a hernia and
- 19:24Speaker 3: it kind of looks like an extra ab randomly above
- 19:27Speaker 3: my belly button. Everybody was like, that's the proof, like
- 19:30Speaker 3: and then they were like, yes, proof because she's not
- 19:32Speaker 3: super muscly anywhere else but just her core and won
- 19:35Speaker 3: if you go back like genetically I have my dad
- 19:38Speaker 3: is super buff, like I'm damn here bill like my father,
- 19:41Speaker 3: and then I've always kind of had right you can
- 19:45Speaker 3: really see it, and I and I've always had abs.
- 19:48Speaker 3: And then upon like just really training my core to
- 19:51Speaker 3: like make up for the fact that my muscles aren't
- 19:53Speaker 3: connected and I have to get my core together to
- 19:56Speaker 3: be able to do any things. That's the center of everything.
- 19:58Speaker 3: I have to go a little hard on that. And
- 20:01Speaker 3: I honestly thought it was hilarious. And then people just
- 20:04Speaker 3: being like, is that a man, and I was like,
- 20:06Speaker 3: do you want me to be? Would you like me
- 20:09Speaker 3: to be?
- 20:09Speaker 6: But what I love is like you didn't get mad
- 20:11Speaker 6: and like go get online and start going crazy.
- 20:14Speaker 4: Man, it doesn't do anything.
- 20:16Speaker 3: I used to do that a lot, and then you
- 20:18Speaker 3: just realize, like there's crazy shit every day, like people
- 20:21Speaker 3: talk about some new shit the next day. I remember
- 20:23Speaker 3: when the internet used to destroy me, like it you
- 20:27Speaker 3: what I remember the other day, maybe last week, somebody
- 20:30Speaker 3: might have tweeted like, oh, like, y'all don't call Kiline
- 20:34Speaker 3: dirty and she has tattoos and someone said, oh, you
- 20:36Speaker 3: must be new here, and everybody was like yeah, because
- 20:39Speaker 3: twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen, that was it. Everybody was
- 20:44Speaker 3: calling me ugly, dirty, all everything. And I used to
- 20:48Speaker 3: be what I was fucked up about it like consistently,
- 20:52Speaker 3: and then I just got to a point where I
- 20:53Speaker 3: was like, well, life kind of goes on, and like
- 20:56Speaker 3: I know myself and like there are people that know
- 20:58Speaker 3: me and love me deeply and about me and like
- 21:01Speaker 3: how you wash right? Hello? Yes, if you guys would
- 21:04Speaker 3: like to come to my house for a week and
- 21:07Speaker 3: don'tle check in my shower twice a day and the
- 21:09Speaker 3: levels of aftercare, Like that's on you, guys, but you
- 21:12Speaker 3: know you don't. You can't prove those things to people.
- 21:14Speaker 3: People who already want to be like that are gonna
- 21:16Speaker 3: be like that.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Regarding anyway, Are you still on social media?
- 21:18Speaker 1: You got off because of that?
- 21:19Speaker 3: No, I had got off for a second. I actually
- 21:21Speaker 3: didn't have Twitter for two years. I just got back
- 21:23Speaker 3: on because it's just what I get back on good
- 21:26Speaker 3: mental Oh it's a terrible place. It's a terrible place.
- 21:29Speaker 3: But the people that I need to speak to, my fans.
- 21:34Speaker 3: I once I learned how to really put blinders on,
- 21:36Speaker 3: and not theoretical blinders, but like actual blinders to be
- 21:40Speaker 3: consistently like this is what matters. And these are the
- 21:44Speaker 3: people that love me. It's been the best thing in
- 21:46Speaker 3: the world. Sometimes I have my moments. Someone yesterday says
- 21:49Speaker 3: some shit to me, like I think Calin is confused
- 21:51Speaker 3: about her sexuality, and I was like, I've been exclusively
- 21:53Speaker 3: dating women for three years and like the music's really gay,
- 21:56Speaker 3: but sure, and it's somebody who like, how am I confused?
- 22:01Speaker 3: I think I'm the least confused I've ever been. But
- 22:04Speaker 3: like I left the tweet up for ten seconds and
- 22:07Speaker 3: deleted it. You have you know, you have your moments.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Yeah, how did your record label and I guess just
- 22:13Speaker 1: the industry period react to your advocacy for Palestine?
- 22:17Speaker 3: You know, I think I think we're in a kind
- 22:22Speaker 3: of a loop for so long of like what's safe
- 22:24Speaker 3: to speak about and what's not safe to speak about,
- 22:26Speaker 3: especially with the powers that be being so powerful and
- 22:29Speaker 3: that running so deep. Obviously, my music came out, and
- 22:32Speaker 3: obviously I'm super supportive, so absolutely no problem from my
- 22:35Speaker 3: record label. I have experienced a lot of pushback. I've
- 22:38Speaker 3: experienced a lot of loss. I've experienced a lot of
- 22:40Speaker 3: things that were promised and set up for this rollout
- 22:42Speaker 3: and album to happen, that were supposed to be a
- 22:44Speaker 3: lot of first really yeah, magazines and these things and
- 22:48Speaker 3: those brand deals and opportunities that were sad to lose
- 22:51Speaker 3: by at the end of the day, like, I don't
- 22:54Speaker 3: I don't regret doing something that I can go to
- 22:57Speaker 3: sleep at night. I can go to sleep knowing that,
- 22:59Speaker 3: like what I learned to be as an artist, I'm
- 23:02Speaker 3: aligned with because I grew up fully understanding, you know,
- 23:05Speaker 3: the role of art in liberation, and and that's not
- 23:08Speaker 3: to place myself in alignment with you know, those artists
- 23:12Speaker 3: and those revolutionary acts. But that's to say, like I
- 23:15Speaker 3: understood what it meant to not be silent, even if
- 23:17Speaker 3: I never you know, put it with the song in
- 23:21Speaker 3: the video, even if just me speaking out, I always
- 23:23Speaker 3: knew what it meant to have a platform and that
- 23:24Speaker 3: responsibility in that way, and like I can go to
- 23:27Speaker 3: sleep knowing that, like I don't, I can look myself
- 23:29Speaker 3: in the mirror, you know, and know that I did,
- 23:31Speaker 3: I did the right thing.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Do these magazines and stuff tell your people why they
- 23:34Speaker 1: say you always hear advocacy of palest.
- 23:36Speaker 3: Those are really big buildings with a lot of people involved,
- 23:39Speaker 3: so it always makes its way back.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Yeah, now you speak. You also mentioned that your advocacy
- 23:44Speaker 1: for Palestine caused a lot of artists to ignore your collaboration.
- 23:48Speaker 3: So I was talking very fast on a live very
- 23:51Speaker 3: caffeinated early in the morning, and I wasn't able to
- 23:54Speaker 3: like really elaborate on that. There are a lot of
- 23:56Speaker 3: more people involved on artists teams and just the artists.
- 23:58Speaker 3: And it also wasn't everything feature. There were certain people
- 24:01Speaker 3: who didn't get it back in time, or it wasn't
- 24:03Speaker 3: aligned with like the timing of their album. I didn't
- 24:05Speaker 3: mean every single artist, but there were artists that I
- 24:08Speaker 3: did reach to when someone on the team was like,
- 24:10Speaker 3: we don't fuck with her, or they said this, and
- 24:13Speaker 3: then another thing made its way to me, or like
- 24:16Speaker 3: another like things we know, we know, things travel, we know,
- 24:21Speaker 3: people have conversations, and those people have conversations, and people
- 24:25Speaker 3: were respectful enough to not, you know, text me back
- 24:28Speaker 3: and say, girl, fuck you, I'm Zionists. You know, things
- 24:30Speaker 3: like that. But I wasn't able to really elaborate that
- 24:33Speaker 3: when I and I would never I would never sit
- 24:36Speaker 3: here and name names because it's not about that. It's
- 24:39Speaker 3: more about how insidious these the industries are and that
- 24:43Speaker 3: we can be so afraid to lose what we've built
- 24:46Speaker 3: because so many of us have come from nothing to
- 24:48Speaker 3: where we have this scarcity mindset of like I have
- 24:51Speaker 3: to protect what I have going on so hard that
- 24:53Speaker 3: I will do anything to stay in that world to
- 24:55Speaker 3: protect it because I have to keep feeding my family.
- 24:57Speaker 3: I have to keep you know, building my legacy. I
- 24:59Speaker 3: have to do that. I don't want to chance that.
- 25:01Speaker 3: And it's sad because that thing that does get dangled
- 25:03Speaker 3: in front of our faces when it comes to really
- 25:05Speaker 3: important political matters that people don't align with. It's sad,
- 25:08Speaker 3: it's unfortunate, and I don't I'm not mad at anyone.
- 25:10Speaker 3: I'm not holding anything against anyone. I was definitely on
- 25:13Speaker 3: that live like yeah, and by the way, let me
- 25:14Speaker 3: tell y'all about that. But I definitely have those moments
- 25:17Speaker 3: where I'm like, this shit is fucked up. But typically
- 25:20Speaker 3: I'm I'm a longer thinker and I have more to
- 25:23Speaker 3: the thought and it was just unfortunately.
- 25:25Speaker 1: So you understand when artists don't want to speak god
- 25:27Speaker 1: about political or social issue. How do you feel about it?
- 25:31Speaker 3: Right particular background, I am the type of person that
- 25:36Speaker 3: is very nuanced, like I understand how people got to
- 25:40Speaker 3: most things. It's unfortunate. I feel like it's unfortunate. I
- 25:45Speaker 3: am saddened by It does make me sad because I
- 25:48Speaker 3: really do believe in our power as people with influence.
- 25:53Speaker 3: This is why the presidents involve music artists.
- 25:56Speaker 4: What they've got.
- 25:57Speaker 3: They've got all type of music artists campaigning for for
- 26:00Speaker 3: for the president. Say God, they bring it. They bring
- 26:02Speaker 3: us out to sing out all the campaigns, all the events,
- 26:05Speaker 3: whenever there's anything going on. They want us to all
- 26:07Speaker 3: get together and drop a song for it, like they
- 26:10Speaker 3: keep showing us how powerful we are. There's people there's
- 26:14Speaker 3: a younger generation who don't know what a policy is,
- 26:17Speaker 3: but they would. They know their rappers' favorite songs, they
- 26:19Speaker 3: know their R and B singer's favorite songs, and they
- 26:21Speaker 3: will learn about anything going on in the world if
- 26:24Speaker 3: their favorite person tells them. And I may have expressed
- 26:28Speaker 3: it super like angrily every single time I've talked about
- 26:32Speaker 3: it online, but that's because I understand that also sometimes
- 26:34Speaker 3: shame works as a teacher. So if I got to
- 26:36Speaker 3: come on there and say fuck all of y'all, because
- 26:38Speaker 3: wake your ass up. If you want to sit and
- 26:40Speaker 3: have a longer conversation with me, we can get to
- 26:42Speaker 3: this point. But it has made me viscerally angry so
- 26:47Speaker 3: many times to feel like, look what we could do.
- 26:49Speaker 3: And they also wouldn't be able to hold us back anymore.
- 26:52Speaker 3: If we all bended together. They can't cancel all of us.
- 26:55Speaker 3: They could cancel me, and they'd be like, Okay, we
- 26:57Speaker 3: got somebody out of here. That's cool. They get canceled
- 26:59Speaker 3: a couple people that speak up, but if everybody spoke up,
- 27:02Speaker 3: that power imbalance wouldn't exist anymore. We're just the people united,
- 27:06Speaker 3: that's the quote. So we have to like stand on that.
- 27:09Speaker 1: And you raised over a half a million dollars for
- 27:11Speaker 1: Gaza Sudan and the Yeah, do you think money is
- 27:15Speaker 1: the only way people can help?
- 27:17Speaker 3: Absolutely not. I think in every single issue, the idea
- 27:21Speaker 3: is that you're supposed to listen to the requests of
- 27:24Speaker 3: the people at the core of the issue. You're supposed
- 27:26Speaker 3: to abide by the request of the most suppressed. And
- 27:28Speaker 3: they have asked us to literally speak, like that's the
- 27:32Speaker 3: thing about this whole, Like social media doesn't do anything.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Speaking doesn't do anything. Awareness doesn't do anything. But those
- 27:38Speaker 3: there are people in Congo who are just saying, make
- 27:41Speaker 3: our stories heard. There are people in Sudan who go
- 27:44Speaker 3: just speak about us. They're not talking about us on
- 27:47Speaker 3: the news, they're not talking about us in these magazines,
- 27:49Speaker 3: they're not talking about us anywhere. But you guys are
- 27:52Speaker 3: Gaza opened the door for people to even be aware
- 27:56Speaker 3: of Congo and Sudan on a global scale because those
- 27:58Speaker 3: issues have preceded this genocide. Those genocides have been have
- 28:02Speaker 3: been happening, Those famines that extremely like displacement, those have
- 28:07Speaker 3: already been existing, and Gaza has opened up the world
- 28:10Speaker 3: to to Haiti, to Yemen, to all of these places
- 28:14Speaker 3: that all this is going on. So the least we
- 28:16Speaker 3: can do is share things here and there. And you
- 28:19Speaker 3: don't have to have money, but if you do, you
- 28:20Speaker 3: should put it where your mouth is.
- 28:22Speaker 4: For sure.
- 28:23Speaker 2: I was gonna ask what Kamala Harris, being from from
- 28:25Speaker 2: your side of town, did y'all ever have a conversation
- 28:28Speaker 2: did you ever reach out to her everything that's going
- 28:29Speaker 2: on at all?
- 28:30Speaker 3: I'm not really a big on presidents or they're they're folks.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Not a governmental girl, really.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Like they're not really. I mean there's powering government, but
- 28:40Speaker 1: the real power with the people people.
- 28:41Speaker 6: Absolutely, Yeah, you are a West Coast girl, and girl,
- 28:46Speaker 6: what do you think about going?
- 28:52Speaker 4: Who was going for what?
- 28:56Speaker 3: I haven't publicly rooted for anyone, but have you not
- 28:58Speaker 3: seen me at the club? Oh? You could hear me
- 29:02Speaker 3: through the soundproof story. I very much respect both artists.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Drake actually named my album it was good until it
- 29:13Speaker 3: was and he showed me a lot of love over time,
- 29:15Speaker 3: like publicly privately, so has Kendrick like he did. You
- 29:19Speaker 3: were having a conversation and I told him what I
- 29:20Speaker 3: wanted to name it, and then he was like, no,
- 29:22Speaker 3: what's going on in life? And I told him and
- 29:23Speaker 3: he was like, and I was like, yeah, I was. Honestly,
- 29:25Speaker 3: it was good until it wasn't. He was like, if
- 29:27Speaker 3: you don't use it as your album title, I am,
- 29:29Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, right, you're right. It is
- 29:32Speaker 3: a very Drake album title. I think it's it came
- 29:36Speaker 3: down to if I'm on some West Coast shit, I'm
- 29:39Speaker 3: from the West, Like, I know, I know how important
- 29:41Speaker 3: this unity is of all of us, and I know
- 29:43Speaker 3: how imperative this representation of us is. Like I love Kendrick.
- 29:47Speaker 3: That's the only artist I've ever stood in the line
- 29:50Speaker 3: and like waited to get something signed for when I
- 29:52Speaker 3: was in high school, Like it's soundtrack to my life.
- 29:54Speaker 3: So I have no like personal entrances in anything. I
- 30:00Speaker 3: I'm just as a fan of the music, just musically,
- 30:08Speaker 3: just music. I mean, we have to respect what we
- 30:10Speaker 3: what we saw.
- 30:11Speaker 2: We saw as base people.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Ever since though, oh my god, hilarious listen when you sing,
- 30:16Speaker 1: not like because it's so catchy.
- 30:18Speaker 3: I have had moments where I was like in the
- 30:20Speaker 3: club and I've seen that it's a club thing and
- 30:22Speaker 3: I was like, damn, this is crazy. But I also
- 30:25Speaker 3: remember every single big diss track in history being able
- 30:28Speaker 3: to be played for massive groups of people gathering and
- 30:31Speaker 3: it being a thing that everybody is like I was
- 30:34Speaker 3: too young for like the Ether era, but like everybody
- 30:38Speaker 3: talks about it and they're like this was crazy, like.
- 30:41Speaker 2: This this is in the club every night though, wasn't
- 30:43Speaker 2: the club?
- 30:43Speaker 3: I mean Back to Back was in the club the club. Yeah,
- 30:46Speaker 3: So it's eras it's moments. Honestly, I'm not in hip hop,
- 30:50Speaker 3: so I can't speak to the sport of it, but
- 30:52Speaker 3: like it's a sport.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I guess you have a text drink like, yo, man,
- 30:55Speaker 1: you did your think let me be ashamed about it?
- 30:57Speaker 1: Was all good. No.
- 30:58Speaker 3: I feel like he has real people around him will
- 31:00Speaker 3: hold them down, and I feel like it's taken that
- 31:02Speaker 3: moment to be like, hey, by the way, let me
- 31:07Speaker 3: make sure you know I support you. Yeah, he's got
- 31:09Speaker 3: his folks.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Man.
- 31:12Speaker 6: You mentioned a tour, are absolutely I made this album
- 31:17Speaker 6: to tours specifically, Like.
- 31:19Speaker 3: There was so many sounds where I was like, this
- 31:21Speaker 3: is gonna be so fun to saying it's gonna be
- 31:23Speaker 3: so fun to dance too. It's gonna be so fun
- 31:25Speaker 3: to play with a band. So absolutely. I think for me,
- 31:29Speaker 3: touring is the epicenter of my like my career, to
- 31:32Speaker 3: the point where sometimes you don't even see you can't
- 31:35Speaker 3: even really tell what's going on with the music streaming
- 31:38Speaker 3: and charting wise, people are like, what, And then you
- 31:39Speaker 3: come to the tour and it's these huge venues and
- 31:41Speaker 3: people are like, I actually had no idea because when
- 31:44Speaker 3: I look at how it's doing over there, and it's
- 31:47Speaker 3: just a classic example for me of like impact versus
- 31:50Speaker 3: you know, numbers, and my shows are huge. My shows
- 31:54Speaker 3: are a blast. Everybody has a great time, everybody feels safe,
- 31:57Speaker 3: everybody has fun. Like that, that is what's important to me.
- 32:00Speaker 3: So we're gonna do it again, for sure.
- 32:02Speaker 6: That's what's up, because by then I would have had
- 32:04Speaker 6: my baby and I can get high. You miss it
- 32:09Speaker 6: very much, Okay, Oh yeah, I'm not like you, girl.
- 32:11Speaker 6: I'm going to smoke okay, but not backwards though.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's good. I'm trying to. I'm starting to
- 32:19Speaker 3: get off the backwoods movement with all the friends will
- 32:22Speaker 3: take care of yoursel based medicines. I like CBD a lot.
- 32:26Speaker 3: I like mushrooms and a lot of mushrooms making this album.
- 32:29Speaker 3: You might could tell there's some trips on here.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Yeah, that one that you played me, Oh my god?
- 32:34Speaker 4: Which one it was? When, oh my god, it sounds
- 32:36Speaker 4: like a oh my god, it's like.
- 32:39Speaker 1: If we very next to you.
- 32:41Speaker 4: I don't know, but he.
- 32:42Speaker 6: Had played it, and I was like, damn, if I sure,
- 32:44Speaker 6: I'll probably be like after hours going crazy. No, no,
- 32:47Speaker 6: I was, I can dance to that one, but this
- 32:49Speaker 6: one just seemed like I have no idea. I forgot
- 32:52Speaker 6: but he was playing it, playing the whole album earlier,
- 32:55Speaker 6: but it was one particular song.
- 32:57Speaker 4: I was like, oh yeah, I'm can't wait to get
- 32:59Speaker 4: it that.
- 33:00Speaker 3: I was probably on mushrooms when I made it.
- 33:02Speaker 4: For you?
- 33:02Speaker 1: Are you are you aware of like the journey in
- 33:05Speaker 1: life that you're going through, and if so, what era
- 33:08Speaker 1: would you define?
- 33:09Speaker 4: This era?
- 33:12Speaker 3: So comparatively to where I was at with my last album,
- 33:17Speaker 3: I feel like my last album, I had reached the
- 33:21Speaker 3: ending of what was like toxic positivity and like toxic spirituality,
- 33:29Speaker 3: like almost psychossy, being like really in my like and
- 33:34Speaker 3: not accepting that. Also what comes with that is like
- 33:37Speaker 3: they're really getting into your shadow and really getting into
- 33:40Speaker 3: also like every single part of myself and now I'm
- 33:43Speaker 3: in this I feel like this era is just really
- 33:45Speaker 3: standing in it. I feel like I'm down to be
- 33:48Speaker 3: whatever everybody thinks I am. For the first time in
- 33:50Speaker 3: my life, I'm not over here trying to prove anything different.
- 33:52Speaker 3: I'm not over here like I don't care to clear
- 33:55Speaker 3: up anything. I don't care to address anything. I have
- 33:57Speaker 3: nothing to say about any of that. If you think
- 34:00Speaker 3: I suck, let's do it. If you think I'm a
- 34:02Speaker 3: terrible person, let's do it. If you think I'm the
- 34:03Speaker 3: best person in the world. Thank you. I appreciate you,
- 34:06Speaker 3: and I think that that truly speaks to what you
- 34:09Speaker 3: were saying about how different I feel is that I'm
- 34:11Speaker 3: settled in a way where I'm so at peace with
- 34:13Speaker 3: who I know I am and my court foundation that
- 34:16Speaker 3: it's not going to be rocked by anything else going on.
- 34:21Speaker 4: Great, Thank you.
- 34:23Speaker 2: The album Crash is out now. What you want to hear,
- 34:26Speaker 2: don't say after hours. We played that already.
