  Speaker 5: like the product sun or left away from it, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: I went out and I started venturing into like more genres.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I tapped in the pop attacked in the R and B.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I wrapped a little bit and then I found something
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: so really southern. So found me, man, been doing about
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: a year and a half now, man, and it actually
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: saved my life.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: So explain to the people what sufering soul in.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: So the soul is a mixture. It has a like
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: a fine undertone mixture of gospel, blues, soul, all like
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: mixed together. Mianda together man, and uh, It's it's only
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: based in its auth but when you hear it, it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: like feel good music. When you hear it's like that
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: music that touch your bones and they you know, it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: it's a beautiful thing. You just got to be in
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: one of that, like one of the events to actually
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: feel it. It changed the environment totally. You'm saying, we
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: advocate for a good time, we advocate for unity in that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: And so that's why I I chose to piggyback on
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: that genre the most.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, yeah, saved your life. What were you into before?
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: You know, with being in the rap culture, you said
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: you have to you know, adapt to that, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: that raping environment. When I came to Southern soul, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I was battling some stuff. You know what I'm saying,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: and it pulled me out of that because of the
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: good feeling that it had. You're saying, make for me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Then my mama was she was able to be proud
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: of it. You know, when I'm rapping, she don't want
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: it that she couldn't have to understand some of the stuff.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: So when she first when she heard my very first
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: soul song that I dropped the car all night long, man,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: and I got that first confirmation from him, I already
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: knew damn that this was a genre for me. You
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: know what I mean.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Do you remember the first record that that made you say, oh,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: like the one that touched your soul? What's something the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: soul record touched your soul as.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Far as mine?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: No, just in general.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Shuts out to King George. Man, he's from down my
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: way as well. Man. He definitely kicked the door down
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: for us. Man, Keep on Rolling is like one of
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: those that you know, really really really punched me, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: and it gave me even like some inspiration.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: You know one of those brothers I mean from South Carolina.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, he keeped the doll with like wide open
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: for us. And when I heard that song, I'm saying,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: I automatically knew that this was the type of jum
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: that I wanted to be in. Were you were you
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: surprised how fast this record card on? Of course, I
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: mean cause.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's it's everywhere and you know, and people are learning
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to dance quickly.

  Speaker 5: an event, you know what I mean? And that's why
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I feel like, uh, Southern soul and line answer is
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: a perfect mixture, you know what I mean. It's a
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: great marriage. You know. It piggybacks off of one, piggybacks
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: off of the other. And if you ever come to
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: the trail right down there, man, I promise you can
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: have a good time. You might get a little dusty,
• 12:11

• 14:06

  Speaker 5: dance as Yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing though the artist like, it's not
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: like you created the dance.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: No, see, that's that's the sweetest thing about it too.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: You said you didn't create the dance.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: The people didn't.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: They choose it. They choose it whether it's going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: be you said a lot dance to it or not.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. When they see that on TikTok,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: it was like four or five dances, different dances to it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, I reposted once shots out to trade little
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: when I po that, everybody took on you. I'm saying
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: to that one because it was real easy. It wasn't
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: to me a ish, you know, to me, it got
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: b I'm.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: That's a lot.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: That's it's like the cursive of blindness. Yet you got
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: your profile yeah, uh dely not intermediate anyway.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: You have to learn your own dance basically.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I can't that there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: So you just picked that one. It was like, this
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: is the one were rocking with. Because if twenty people
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: said different dances.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: That's why I said that everybody being sync that people
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: chose it. Man Boots on the Ground was not intended
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: to be a lot of that song. It was just
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: blessed to be that way.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Even with the fan bang bang, like you know, something
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that you do when you hate you.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: You know. And I didn't know that fans like the
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: fans were like a big part of the you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: the trail scene until I made the song with it,
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: and now here like you know, ten twenty different on
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: with fans now what I'm saying. So it definitely is
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: a part, like a big important part of the culture.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: So I think I just revived it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Why not the church fan.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: The church fan too. I think that the sales on
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: church fans is at an all time mab right now. Yeah,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: church fans, you know, Amazon. When when I first came
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: up with the with the song or whatever, they were
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: just clacking fans. If you go on Amazon right now,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: they Boots on the ground fans, hm hm, you got
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: the little biton got.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Fans was getting.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I was like out of here and got on the
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: ground fans. You know what I'm saying. So it definitely has
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: been impactful to the culture. Man. I'm just proud to
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: be a part of it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: They're gonna be waiting for for them t fans.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: I tell you that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, out there right now.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: But everybody's gonna be waiting for new music. Do you
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: got more after Boots.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: On the Ground take something. I got so much music,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, And I got music like before I got
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: you know, our previous catalog. I got five songs that
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: I dropped. Like I said, I've only been in a
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: year and a half, you know what I mean. But
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: as far as the catalog, man, I got a widespread
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: catalog that's getting ready to come. It was just the
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: timing was waiting on, you know what I mean. So
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's the perfect time for everybody to see me.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: And you know what I got the offer versatility is.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Coming what's the toughest challenge about being an artist from
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: South Caroline?
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: H The weight that's on my back, you're saying, because
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: not only do I stay, I mean, yeah, boost and
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: the ground is for me, but I stand with a
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: lot of weight that I'm carrying as far as like
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Southern sold as a whole, because see, this is what
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: my main part is, and I ain't gonna lie. This
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: is the reason why I came here. You saying, I
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: want to I want to make Southern soul that main genre.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: You know it's being you know, sublind like it's been
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: like undertone for so long, and you know that Chickland
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: circuit has been going on, like you got greats that
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: came through that Chitlan circuit, like Tyrone Dave, It's Marvel,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: See's Changed Brown, There's Muddy Waters. All these guys become
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: under that Chitlin circuit man, and it hasn't really had
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: a catalyst for it has been brought to the front.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: So I take myself to be a martyr and that
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: he was saying, I want to be able to display
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: that as being a main genre and showing that you know,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: we're coming with the United Front. I got Sean Mika,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: Joe Quail out there, I'm saying, grown ass woman, I
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: got Frank Johnson out there, you can hate on me.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I got a young guy right here. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: take here. These are all very impactful songs to the culture,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: and when I bring my boots on the ground, I
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: want to bring them as well. So that's probably like
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: the biggest thing as far as like, you know, I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: carrying that weight and I want to be a good
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: advocate for them.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, you got to get yourself all the
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: way through the door first, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: that's that's why I think a lot of people fall
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: through a little bit, because they want to represent for
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: the whole state and they want to bring everybody with them,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and usually all the people end up weighing them down
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: before you get to where you.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Need to be.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: I think that with me, how I present myself, how
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: I care myself. I care myself as you know A
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: you know, he's he's a strong front by himself. You know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: it's just I want to be a good representative for him.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: You know, It's not that I'm pulling them up. You're
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: saying the way that I walk, My character is what
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: you know, It puts it out there like, oh oh,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I like him. Let me see what they got going on.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I let my walk you
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: were saying speak for me.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: I mean it's I can line to have it in a
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: moment right now.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: You got trapped, Dicky, Yeah, the traplan.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: You know Black Zach, Yeah, Man, little balls rest in
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: peace speaking. Not because like it's a lot of people
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: doing it, but I really love what the Southern soul
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: is doing because that's a whole different genre. And we
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: call it the Chitlin circuit. Well really, what I call
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: it is the heart and soul of Black America definitely, bro, Like.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: That's what all the majority of black people in America
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: are in the South.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Don't advocate for violence, man, we advocate for unity like
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: good time. And you know what I'm saying, You just
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: got to pay attention to a lot of this music, man.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: And it's like real life relatable stuff, bro. And it
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: ain't you know, fabricated, you know what I'm saying, It's
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: real life relatable things. And I think that's why people
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: gravitate towards it a little bit more because I'm able
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: to you saying, oh yeah, I'm going through that right now,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So I think that's why
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: everybody has been gravitated towards it. But it's definitely a movement.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Man, If you had to pick one song that best
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: represents you that's not Boots on the Ground, what would
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: it be?
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: You know, that's a tough one, man. One you ain't
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: got out you Yeah, I don't know, you know, because
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: like all of them is like a representation to me.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: You said, I feel all of them, you know what
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: I mean? So y'all just stay tunned. Man, ain't like y'all.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Just I got I got so much that's coming behind me.
• 20:13
