• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I'll want you about the music. So for people that
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: might not have been familiar with your rap, what kind
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: of what would you classify your music as?
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Is it economic base? Are you talking about money? Is
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: it socially conscious? Is it street rap?
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: What are you rapping about? Yeah?
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: Great question. It is god honest truth. Shout out to
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: my dog Dante. I had a meeting with Warner, like
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: the big you know label Warner and were in a
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: label and you know, we playing songs and shit, he rocking.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: He like, bro, you would I would sound like if
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Gucci was educated, right, not saying Gucci ain't educated. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: don't like the way that came off, but it sounded
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: he was like, Yo, this is an educated Gucci. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: so I look at it as you know, rap is
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: the most braggadocious genre of music. Right, we talk about
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: how many girls we got, how many forms we drive,
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: how much money we got, et cetera, And so my
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: music I am using that as another.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Average new to continue to educate. Right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: It's like if I'm talking about you know, million dollar deal,
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: just ready perspect this put my niggas on. You gonna
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: have to respect this. Looking at commercial units out in Texas,
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: like if I'm talking about ship and.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: They nigga, what the fuck is the perspectives game? Like
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And so the idea is
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: talk about the ship.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: We're doing we ain't no capping it, but more importantly
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: opening it up to saying like, yo, I get what
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: he's talking about, right, Like, so from the beginning of time,
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: that's why I went by the Wall Street rap I'm
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: talking about on the DIW band call Spreaders for some
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: tall bread on the prow for.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: A tall chick with some good you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: it was bleeped that out that I brought his head
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: out of it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: But the idea is like, it's like, we're making this
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Wall Street stuff more relatable, right, and so you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: the music is something that I love doing.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I've been making it for a while. And uh, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: it's like what you're.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Talking about, like what what what's gonna separate you? And
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: it's based on financial yeah yeah yeah, but like but
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: it's fun though, Like but so what I say about
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: the music game is like I'll never be a starving artist, right,
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: I'm working on Wall Street while I'm making music, right,
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: I'm never you know what I mean? And so, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: the greatest thing was like learning how to make money
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: for music. I learned how to make money for music
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: off sinks and licensing. So what that is is getting
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: your songs placed in TV shows, movies, video games. To date,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: my greatest placement was I got a song called a dub.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: When I'm talking some Wall Street shit, it's on NBA
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: two K, so that shit's spinning. I'm talking about people
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: all over.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: The world hitting me yo.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: NBA two K bought me here. NBA two K bought
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: me here. But the spins on it crazy. So I'm
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: getting to check off that. But then I'm on Showtime,
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: I'm on the SHA, I'm on HBO, I'm on South Side,
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: I'm on Netflix, I'm on Outer Banks, I'm on BT,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: several shows on BT. Shout out. I didn't hit BT
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: over the head, right, I'm on I was on a
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: gang of stuff on BT.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: On it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I used to have it written down.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: But the idea is, like, bro, when you make an
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: upbeat rhythm, you're finding the correct frequency, right like music
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: is science g and if you know how to hit
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: that frequency upbeat, like most scenes break anytime you listen to,
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: anytime you watch a movie or here commercial, when you
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: hear music, they paid that artist to use their songs.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And generally they.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Not gonna pay Kanye because he gonna have a stupid baggy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I need a million to use this.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: They pay smaller artists right in order to license their music.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: And so that's a niche that I that I love.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: I literally just got to email probably three four weeks ago.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Like yo, in the.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Best part, bro, it's like you build a library of
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: music and sometimes you don't even got to put it out,
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: it's throwaways. But what you do is you have, like
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: the way the name of the game there is, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: I've done this before, you get on LinkedIn and you
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: just google, not Google, You go on LinkedIn everything and
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: when you think of search, like that's good, you go
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: on linked In and you search. Music supervisor. And music
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: supervisors are the people that take a scene of a
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: movie or a video game or commercial and they say, Okay,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: what's the mood of this scene? This is the type
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: of music I want. So then they reach out to
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: what I would call music brokers, right, their music programmers,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: et cetera. Right, and they have like an inventory of cribs.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Right if you're a real estate broker.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: They got an inventory of songs and then they're reading
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: and they saying, okay, what's this. Okay, so we need
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: an upbeat song that's talking about women empowerment. We need
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: a dance record because they are in the club right boom,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: and so Shorty's able to shout out, Melissa, you to go.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: She's able to take my music and pitch it and say, yo,
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: this is that right where you?
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I remember? Man, she hit me with a Who's Melissa.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: She runs the company one of the companies that I
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: use that goes out and pitch my music. So like
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: literally she emailed me three four weeks ago like yo,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: it's like an agent effectively, right, And she's taking my
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: music and she's pitching it and saying, Yo, they want
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: this type of song.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Do you approve of it?
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Like I remember I Hi had a song and like,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: the thing is this song ain't of out?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Is not out?
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: I made it probably three four years ago. I don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: even remember it. Like when she asked, I'm like, yo,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: what's the song? And I'll talk to the producer like, bro,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: you cool with this? He's like, bro, send me the song.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I don't even know what it is. He like, oh,
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: that shit hard, bro. We might got to put it
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: out now.

  Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fine. Nearly
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day. Imprisoned and deported, you will
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump America's laws,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: border and families.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Will be protected. Sponsored by the United States Department of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Homeland Security.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Like in my mind, I'm gonna have to put it
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: out because you'll get organic plays from it, so you're
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: gonna get even more money. So you're gonna get the
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: money on the on the license in side. But then right,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: how many times have you been watching the TV show like, Yo,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: what's that Shazam? Well, yeah, that's the name Sazam?
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: What song is this? Right?
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: And then that's how you get even played, so you
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: getting on the front end and the back end.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: How profitable is it, like even for like a two k,
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: like when you get paid to do it first to
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: license it, but obviously people paid through inside the game
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: and then maybe people go find it on the streaming platform.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: How profitable is it? Is it like we're gonna give
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: you ten thousand for.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The How that work? Yeah?
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Every every show has a different budget, Every movie has
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: a different music budget. Where I think Showtime they can
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: offer you a little bigger bad, like saying commercials and
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: movies is the biggest.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I ain't got there yet.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: I took a little hiatus because I just got two babies,
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: two under two, so it's been super real in the crib.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: But I'm getting back down right. But I remember when
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Melissa hit me one time. She's like, Yo, I'm so sorry,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: I'm coming at you late, but I got a commercial.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: They paying a hundred racks. It was for Google bro.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Me and my dog finished out my brother Finny. We
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: went in and knocked out like two three songs and
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: forty minutes sent it to us.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: She's like, oh, this is great.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: And the idea is knowing the type of frequency, knowing
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: how not to cuss as much like I don't have
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: that much cursing on my music, right because you're gonna
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: need the clean version.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: They're gonna need the MP three.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sorry, they don't need the you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: the high wave foul the instrumental in the clean version, right.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: But when you're doing that, it's all about just knowing
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: the frequency, like having fun in the music. But some people,
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: you know, like that dark sad you know, slitch, your
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: wrist type music too, where that might get a good placement,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: but like the big placements is a feature film, Like
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I get one of them that's up.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That's interesting because I never thought about that before. But
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I definitely, you know, you hear songs that you never
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: heard of, like in these TV shows stuff like that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It's like background music. Yeah, for like a couple of seconds,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you know, we think about it. But like, definitely a
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: lot of songs. I mean, of course you hear like
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: some big name artists, but a lot of times you
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: hear it's been like a power and stuff like that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: You'll just hear random stuff, yeah, that you've never heard
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: before ever.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: So all those artists probably get paid I would say
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: anywhere from five to fifteen K. But the game is
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: getting multiple placements. There's a young I know this one
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: girl who'd just be knocking out c W placements. She
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: getting like five a month, and it's like, I doubt
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: she's gonna, you know, disclose her source because when you're
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: looking at it, if c W is looking for this song,
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: then they go to me and her and my stuff
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: might be better. She ain't. She ain't gonna disclose it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: But the idea is you start out music supervisor. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: want to slap myself right now because I found the
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: music supervisor for all of Activision Blizzard, so that's all
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: their stuff, right. I went to this thing called sync
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: Con with me and my producer shout Out Jay Mix.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: We went out there and we was just networking like crazy,
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: like NFL. Somebody was there from the like, because everybody
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: has music to take any scene of a movie to
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: the next level, right Like, anytime you turn on TV,
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: you're gonna hear music like that is what we are,
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: right whether it's that, whether it's just some normal classical
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: music hip hop, like hip hop the number one genre
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: right now, right EDM, club scene whatever, like those DJs
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: are getting paid and the reality is if you're signed,
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: it's harder to get the clearance and they're gonna charge
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: you more.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: So you know, the big pub deals.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Et cetera, and so certain people they rather go after
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: smaller artists. And so if you're a small artist, bro
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: find you LinkedIn music supervisor, Google music supervisor companies right
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Google sync and licensing companies, and that's how you really
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: take your music to the next level where you come
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: from being a starving artist, because right now I'll just
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: knock out a song and I'll just send it to it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: I won't even get a mixing master.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: If I'm like, yo, you rock this all right for show,
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: I'll make that investment to get it mixing mastered. Because
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: the same way the studio in the crib. Here, I'm
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: recording in the crib right like when I first started
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: making music. Bro, it's all about having like you say,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: no overhead right like, because the studio session might be
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: seventy five to one hundred and twenty five hours an hour.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Mob's going there by four four hour session. They bring
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: a lot of friends with him. They smoke and drink
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: and you look up, you only knocked out one song.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: I'm at the crib. I'm knocking out songs, quit and
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: the ideas. Right, had a great producers, and you're telling them,
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: I need this to be sample free. That's the only
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: way your music could go in if it's a sample
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: in it, if they sample in anything, any voice or anything,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: and it's not like, uh, what's it called a public domain,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: which is meaning you had it, it's been out for
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: over I think a hundred years or whatever it is,
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: then you can't use it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: So like my music supervisor. She called me. She say, Yo, is.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: This sample free? I'm like absolutely, you know I don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: send you none with it, So like, Ali, let's go.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I got somebody that want.
