  Speaker 1: what you're about. I'm the name of his company is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: called good Come Penny as in coints, which I was like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: ooh ooh, that's different, I said, Man, Larussell's hitting us
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with so much intech. Do you remind me of a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: cross between jay Z and Drake and anyone that has
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: not heard your music or kind of even try to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: cyberspy on you. It was like really missing out, like
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on some good stuff. But since I have you in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: my kitchen, the eating while broke kitchen, I have to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: know what were you eating when you.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Were broke man. Today I'm going to be making an
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: egg sandwich. This was a classic. My mama taught me
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: how to make eggs when I was like five, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I used to wake up every morning and make eggs,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and that was the only thing I knew how to make.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: So we taking it back to the basics. We got
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: some eggs, we got some salt and pepper. Today we're
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be doing it on garlic bread. Yeah, because I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: usually use regular bread, we just throw it in a toaster.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But my boy Austin was like, you gotta do garlic bread,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: so I figured we just spice it up today.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a whole discussion about the whole garlic bread,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you and I because I've actually never even thought of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: garlic bread. Actually, the first time I ever had garlic
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: bread for real, for real was the Texas toast in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the box. And now if you go into a store,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it is sold out, like you can't get it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: It's a miracle if you find.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: One, maybe on eBay, but I don't know the pandemic.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Just like said, take away the best bread on earth.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited to eat with you, so let's get
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it cracking. Oh my gosh, an egg fun.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Let's get it cracked all right?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Oh. I listened to rap music so much that my
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: girlfriend and I shout out to a lap behind the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: mirror over there. I listened to rap soap music so
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: much that I actually speak in metaphors, and sometimes people
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: have to stop me and say, coly, we get it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to, you don't have to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: rebreak it down in puzzle terms.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm a metaphor speakers. Can I move this
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: so I can crack some eggs?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Here? Slide over to my side the greatest?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Are you eating one too? So I should make all.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, you have to cook for both of us, because
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: if it's trash, we can both discover that garlic bread
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: egg sandwiches is.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Just not I'm finna drop some butter up in here
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: because my mama would be like, use some pam so
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: you don't leave eggs stained all over there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Now, are you one of those people that are really
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: gonna use metal on a.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, I do. We're not supposed to do that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Even every listener is hearing that scratching is like, what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is he doing?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's crazy?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: What is he doing? His mama couldn't have ever let
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: him do that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Man, she did.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't believe how much stuff my mom let me do.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Let I don't mean we had taflon back then. Maybe
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You're right, it was like a luxury. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: back then I think it was.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You just had to butter everything down otherwise it's stuck.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Or you get that good old pam spray and you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: in it. Oh, I'm getting it all over there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not a I'm not a you know, So
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: tell me a little bit about what was going on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I know this is like the first dish that you
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: ever cooked, But tell me what was going on during
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Of Also, I usually add bacon, beet bacon bits, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: chaddar cheese.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: But I heard y'all broke, so it wasn't a here.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna go pepper. I don't see salt over here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: There's lorryes, y'all struggling.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Hey, Yo, so much fun of us over here. Yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you're not even gonna use Lorries because you don't.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm not gonna use Larry I've never done that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to keep it authentic.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, okay, I respect it to be honest. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: don't use Lowry's. Well, I just started to recently, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's only because I married a black man from Detroit
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: who believes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Lowry's is everything seasoning. Yeah, yes, yes, beautiful.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So what was going on growing up? Like around when
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you were making egg sandwiches? I know you started at five,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, making these, but like kind of tell me
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of your background growing up, Like were
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you middle class?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I thought I was middle class until I got older
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and realized we're definitely lower middle class. But my pops
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: was a hustler, so we were like we had enough
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: money to be like the richest niggas in a broke
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: neighborhood type shit you feel me, but definitely, uh, lower class,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: just regular neighborhood. Hard to describe when people ask that
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: question because you got to kind of grow up in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it to be familiar.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Did you grow up in a two parent household?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Wow Okay, okay, a lot of people on the show,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they haven't.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going in.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: That's good. So when did you transition to music.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I've been writing since I was like seven, whether through
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: like writing poems or just journaling, drawing, just I've just
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: always used kind of writing an art as like an
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: artistic expression and form. So yeah, since I was seven,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of just cultivated. Me and my sister
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: had this boombox and we used to download instrumentals from
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: LimeWire and burn them on the CD, the instrumentals on
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the boom box and wrap over it. And I remember
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: we had a wrapped over knock if you Buck and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I was going crazy, but my sister was better than
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: me at the time, so I just had to keep working.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Your sister was rapping too.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my sister was rapping too.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So does she still rap?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: No, she doesn't.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So you surpassed her in the rap skills. And then
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: she was like, I'm good. Is that what happened? I don't.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think she ever had a passion for it. It
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: was just something we like to play around and do,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and I just kind of stuck with it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, that's pretty cool. So you is it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that you like Drake because it like from what I've
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: researched on you, is that you from other articles and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you could correct me if I'm wrong, But your goal
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was to be on the level I want to say,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and on the I don't know, like numbers level, because
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: obviously talent wise, you're on the same level as Drake,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying numbers wise, you want to be on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the same level. But independently, Yeah, is that correct?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily numbers wise, but impacting notoriety wise. You know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I want people to respect me as such, and partially
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the way to do that is to put up the numbers.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: If you're not scoring as well as Jordan, people don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: expect you respect you like a Jordan, right, And yeah,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to do that independently and just show people that it's
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: possible to be the greatest at something without having to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: utilize someone else's infrastructure that they tell you you got
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to go through and you got to use these methods
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and you got to sell away your ownership, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: like everyone knows early on Drake didn't have his masters
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and had a horrible deal. I want to show people
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: that you can get to that level without having to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: go through that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Right when you say, just want to rewind, you said
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it was important for you to have impact and notoriety,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Like why what does that even mean to me?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It just it enables you to to It enables you
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to make change, Like right now, feed the whole hood
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: where I'm from. You know, from now to the end
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: of the year, I've been feeding the hood out of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: my own pocket. And I've only been able to do
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that because of my impact and my notoriety. I've become
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: so great that I make enough money to where I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: could take care of the place that birth me right,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people don't get to do that
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: because they don't have either the talent level or the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: resource to do it. I've been able to do it independently.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I'm finna drop this garlic bread on this joint.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: It's already it's already done, already toasted it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And oh that's crazy.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I try to cheat it because I wanted to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: get all up in your kool aid. Wow, so I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: put the temple because you can't find.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: That anywhere intriguing.
• 9:42

• 9:47

• 9:53
  Speaker 3: This is great, this is great. I'm a multitasker.

  Speaker 3: On this one, way too much bread. It's like a
• 11:26

  Speaker 1: So let's go into Momos cafe for a second. What
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: inspired all of that? Mm hmmm, or at least a partner.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Just seeing the need.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of homeless in Valoe and just people
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: who don't get to eat. And I'm always outside so
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I always see it. I'm always giving someone money or
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: taking care of someone, whether my mom would drop off
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: boxes of merch to the homeless community out there, to
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: different encampments, and I'm just always trying to help, right,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And this is the way that we can help now
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that I'm in a grander position.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I've done a.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Few of these prior this year, but just for a day.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: And when you do it today, it's like, everybody don't
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: get a chance to eat. So this time it was like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: let's make sure everybody gets a chance to eat.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think what you're doing is great. I'm
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: gonna circle back to your music again. So you're a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: talented artist. Again, for anyone that hasn't heard your music,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I definitely would say you're in the same lay as
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: jay Z and Drake, which, by the way, I'm a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hardcore jay Z fan. Everyone that listens to this show
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: knows this. I have a huge five foot painting that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: literally the only one in the world that was custom
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: made of jay Z like hanging out in projects. I'm
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: from Brooklyn.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: There it goes.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But I will say this in all truest form. Currently,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, I listen to Drake
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: more and I feel guilty.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm cheating.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Like for real, Like I don't let nobody know that,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Like nobody knows that. This is the first time I've
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: said it out loud, but in my heart, I'm like, yo, just.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Listen to jay Z today. Don't and you don't have
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: to always pick Drake, but.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I listened to your lyrics. I'm just wondering, like, what did?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been signed?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Not in the capacity that artists get signed, like I've
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: never been signed to a major deal.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: All of my deals have been partnerships, like distribution deals.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: No, I've done like record deals, but in partnership for them,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: like fifty to fifty profit shares, like I don't belong
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to anyone. I'm my own entity and we just split
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: profit versus when a record label usually signs to you,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you're in like a royalty deal and they own your shit.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: And if they don't own your shit, they license it
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: for twenty years and they have power and rule over
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: when you release and how you release any of that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: So I've never been in a major deal. All of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: my deals have been partnerships.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Currently, are you in a partnership deal or are you independent?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I've been independent the entire time, So all of these
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: partnerships are completely like me and my team do everything.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You see, you're controlling all the marketing everything. So and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they're controlling because nowadays it's a little confusing a record
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: label is really bringing to the table at this point.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It depends now I mean with I mean if oh
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: my gosh, why am I spacing when it comes to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: who is Draked in Lil Wayne? And what's their name
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of their young Money is it? No, it's not young Money,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's race but no, no, no, he was signed to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Lil Wayne, who was the cash So they're so from
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: what I know of the history of uh, the music industry,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Birdman had the best deal in the industry. So young Money,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: cash Money has literally the best deals on the table.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Cash money, cash money.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: So if cash Money calls you up right now, I'm
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: just playing it. It was advocate with.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: No to see there's a cash Money had the best
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: deal in terms of their deal with Republic, not in
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: terms of the deals that they gave artists.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Really, you don't think they gave artists really.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Good deals, No, because they Drake didn't have his masters.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: He just got him.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: He was in the royalty deal. Lil Wayne had to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: take him to court to get his money. How could
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they be in a great deal? O tig has been
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: complaining for years, How could they be in a great
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: deal that doesn't make any sense?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't know that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah cash Money had a substantial deal, you know.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Wen dy Day was a part of helping put that
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: together with Republic. They really broke the bank.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: When did you So you're a music artist. What is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: intriguing about you is, for instance, today we gave you
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a release, Clarence, and you sat there quietly.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: And read it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You're a businessman all the way through. So were do
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you think you're an entrepreneur before you were an artist?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Definitely? Definitely.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Before I was releasing art, I was selling beats, I
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: was making album covers for people and selling I've been
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I used to sell swishers one of your parents basketball team. Yeah,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: my pops was a hustler. He sold everything under the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: sun except drugs, like everything.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It was going to be my next question because when
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I hear hustler, I'm like, what was he saying? There?
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: No, man, everything exactly.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So you got your entrepreneur spirit from him, and then
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: your talent gross kind of came from you and your
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: sister like in this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Boombox kind of my pops as well.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: He's very creatively inclined, right, and he's a problem solver, right.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: And I feel like a part of my talent and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: just my skill, my business acumen is because I'm a
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: problem solver. My favorite thing to say is I'll figure
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: it out, and I will.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, spoken like a true entrepreneur. You know
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: how to pivot, right, Yeah, that's whenever I see a problem,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm always like, it's not a problem, it's a challenge, right,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: what to do?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I was I was walking to get my daughter the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: other day and I was talking with my brother and
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, are you looking for problems or
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: are you looking for You usually find whatever you're looking for.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I like that, you know what you say, how I think.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I think that's why I like you so much. I genuinely,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I genuinely fuck with you hard do I say fuck
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: on the show ever? Really, I genuinely mess with you.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I was just like, yo, is he as dope? So
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: what I've learned being a Christian and just living in
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the world is like, there's so many dope people that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: are doing great things externally. But now that I'm old, older,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I've grown enough. Wasn't the to ask myself, well, if
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: they're externally have all this integrity? I just wonder, like
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: if I was a fly on their wall at home,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you know, do they carry that same level of integrity.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: When I listen to some of your rap lyrics, I'm like, Okay,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: they're great. And then there's some that teeter into like
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: how you enjoy women in the past. I don't know
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: if it's current. I don't know. You know, it's hard
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: being a man. I'm not a man, So I just wondering, Like.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I think, if you are a fly on the wall
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: in my house, you'd see a human and supreme form
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: right in every aspect, on their roller coaster and on
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: their journey. I think there's everyone around me could speak
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to my heart and my greatness and my moral and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: my character. But I also have issues as a human
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: as well that I have to develop from and that
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I've had to grow from just through a journey. Right,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Like you, you learn self respect and you learn value,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: and you learn respecting other people throughout your journey, depending
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: on your experience and your surrounding and what you witness. Right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: most of us just replicate whatever we see if you
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: don't see anybody in like loving and nurturing situations and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: providing that, you don't often replicate it, right, because that's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: not something you're familiar with, So just through that process.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'm a human, but I think for the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: most part, what you see externally of me is what
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you see and when you meet me, I'm the exact
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: same person.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Right when I hear your lyrics, you're I feel like
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you're vulnerable, You're you're honest with yourself, and I think
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: for a lot of men, I don't want to say
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of men, for humans, I think we we
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: tend to either tell ourselves the truth or we tell
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: ourselves a lie, and it's the battle of you know,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: but the only way to grow is to tell yourself
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the truth. So there's a lot of vulnerability in your lyrics,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and I love it like I love it well the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: same reason why I love a lot of y'all. You know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you are my top three, you know. Come, so now
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I do do snooping. Obviously I had to cyberstalk the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: hell out of you, but I noticed you were, like,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: if you're a fan of mine, you come directly to me,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Like how how did you even conceive that concept of like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you want to come to my show, you buy the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: tickets from me, no ticket mass and no middle man,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Like where did that come from?
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Life?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: That's always been the process, you know, Like I've watched
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: my dad hustle, and everyone who bought product from him
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: pulled up on him or he pulled up on them.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: If you want something from Larussell, you have to go
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: communicate with Larussell. When you start adding third parties, you
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: could either miss opportunity or something get misplaced. Like I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: used to do booking for a theater and I was
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: trying to book certain artists and I'd have to go
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: through their agents and It'll be like a caaw whatever.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they shut you down, get.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: To it, and then when I meet them later, I'm like, bro,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I was trying to get you for it would have
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: been dope because I was building this thing. And they're like, man,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know right, And that's because and they
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: ain't hollering at you. And then as the more middleman
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: you have, the more pie that's getting dipped into. And
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I'm a firm believer in if I'm splitting pie, it
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: needs to be with people who help me bake them pie,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: not someone who's just there. Because the end of this
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: is a standard. You need to have a business manager.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: You need to have this that like, we're not going
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: to do that. You got to actually provide something. If
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you didn't bring no ingredients or help bake this, you
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: shouldn't get a slice of it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Now, you do have a team, because to get to you,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I tried emailing, Okay, I was like, this is the email,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: this is how I gets hel But you do have
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: a team. Do you have a role amongst your team
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that they don't get to say no, that you have
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to at least they have to at least present the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: opportunity to you. Because that's a valid point that happens
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in the industry.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Just about everything comes to me. And I may have
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: seen this. I was telling Austin. No, I'm for sure.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I was telling Austin when it first came I had
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: seen the show similar and I was like, I don't
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: know because I seen the time the eating while broke thing,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: and I feel like a lot of people play on
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: like poor people and shit, and I didn't I didn't
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: like it. So I was just like, ah, I'm not
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: gonna deal with that right now, let me see as
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a cultivate. So I may have seen it. There's not
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: too much that come through the email that I don't see.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And if I don't see it, my two right hands
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: always see it and it still makes its way to me.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So with the eating when I broke, that was one
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: of the reasons.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I was like, ah, the title.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I don't like when people play on the on poverty.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And like, it's just like when I created Eating While Broke,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I I was like, I just I have so many
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: dope successful friends that are like millionaires, influence celebrities, entrepreneurs,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and they always have these crazy stories like they were
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: in jail, or they were male escorts or just crazy
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: ass stories, and I love them. I lived for them.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: We go on to hiking, like tell me more, what
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: else did you do? You're a hugger? Okay, let's here,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you know, And so I just love the journey. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: actually don't even I do enjoy the solutions, but I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: love the journey. I love the storytelling. I love the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: hero's journey. And so when I came up with Eating
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: While Broke, I was like, well, we got to start
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it at the route. You know that everyone can relate to, like,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you know, people that are aspiring rappers that are literally
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: only have two pennies to rub together. And I named
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it Eating while Broke, But then I realized, damn, every
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: time I pitched the show, I have to say, hey,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I have this great opportunity for you. It's it's ignore
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the name. Let me tell you what it is. And
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I always have to say, ignore the name, and then
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I tell them, you know, the show is about inspiring
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: people and just kind of leveling with them and inspiring
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: them that they can do exactly what you did, or
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: they should believe in themselves no matter what their environment
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: is in. But I always have to do this dang
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: explainer right on eating sometimes.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: That's why, like certain things would get to me through email,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: but since it doesn't have full context, it's like I
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: can't tend to it right because it doesn't resonate. But
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm always somebody. I'm so open. If you
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: see me anywhere, you can come to me and address me.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: And once I meet you and feel your energy, it's like, oh, okay,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: that makes sense, right, But emails have no context, like
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: that's just you got to take it for whatever you
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: want to.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I I'm uh. Pippole told me this once. He said,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: if they locked the door, you're climbing through the window.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he didn't respond. He Nicole better used.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: That heart email.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Dropping Charlottemgne you know it's running this show, and uh,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you know, get his attention. Love And not only did
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I do that, but I liked you so much. I
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: literally was like, ear your Leisure should have him, Charlemagne
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: should have him, all these people should have him, and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: she was like, I think they already did. Like I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: was like the last ones at the table, like these
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: are the shows he should be on. I don't even
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even never had an opportunity meet with you,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: but I was like, dam all your publicists over there,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: like this is who I want. Love it and and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that's you know why we named the show, you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, eating while broke. But
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I get it because I literally every time I sell
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: some on the idea, I'm like, just ignore the name,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: ignore the name. But I'm glad that you take time
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to come and sit with me and super excited. I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: love literally everything you're about. And sorry. One of the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: things that kind of surprised me is the entrepreneur in you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: And like.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Also, like, why did you name your company the good Copenny?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean good company just because there's a quote
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: that's say your mama say you just by the company
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you keep, right, So I feel like good company is
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: encompassing them. Just I like to have good people around me,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and we build great energy when we go into places.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: We're a good company to have, right, Just that name
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: is welcoming. And then I use pennies because I feel
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: like pennies are undervalued and overlooked. Right, If you see
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: a penny on the ground, you usually don't stop and
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: pick it up. But imagine if you stopped and picked
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: up every penny you walk past throughout your whole life,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: you probably have more money than a lot of the
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: people besides you. Even though it's a penny. There's a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: multitude of them, Like we passed them up all the
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: time everywhere, and no one really cares. Right, But it
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: exists for a reason.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I sometimes think pennies exist to go in my daughter's mouth.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: That's a terrible joke. I'm a new mom. I'm a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: brand new mom. I spend most of my days trying
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to convince my daughter not to try a new way
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to commit suicide. Right right now, you see why our
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: parents are like tired by eight o'clock because they spent
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the entire day like what do you have to do next?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: But what can people expect from you in the future?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Music wise?
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: A ton of it, A whole lot of it. You know.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I'm someone I live by this theory of like leaving empty.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I don't want to leave with nothing on my plate
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: and all the music I have I intend to release
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and get out. I want to sit on things for years.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I'm currently building crazy infrastructure at home. I keep saying
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I'm building Disneyland because we're building something like that completely laterally.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: But really, I don't know. I don't have any expectation
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: of myself. So I think people shouldn't. They should just
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: enjoy the journey. Like how you say you've been spying,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Like I hope when you spy you're smiling because it's
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: just it's a hell of a show to watch, you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: it's a beautiful shavn't got to see too many artists
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: actually make it in front of us, right, Like we
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: see the resulting that the label post and share, but
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: we don't see like them going city to city. Hey, yo,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a pop up, you know, like we
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: don't get to see that part of the journey, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I'm showing all of it. I'm showing us running merch
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: for filming out.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Of my house.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: My mom is dropping them, dropping them off, like I'm
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: showing the entire process, and we're sharing the gyms along.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: So I think people should just stay tuned and this.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: We got enough sequels to beat the Fast and Furious series,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: you know, like coming.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Like that when you do your pop YouTube pop up shows.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Right, we're doing one tonight.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I just I just got off a plane and I
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: was like, man, I want to do a show. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: we announced it and now the show tickets have been
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: selling tonight.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: It's going to be at going to be.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: This is This one's gonna be special because it's an
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: unplugged version and it's like live Q and A.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Like people, I'm not gonna lie, like I would love
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: to go. Please is hearing this?
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: What's dope about our shows is like this one is
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: a bit different. But generally with our shows, like I
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: use the second half of my set to just let
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the fans choose the songs they want to hear and
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I rap whatever they say they want to hear, right,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: So it's like a really interactive show. We did one
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: in New York and Brooklyn. When we went out there,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: it sold out in six hours, five hundred tickets.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: So now I'm just kind of of been in.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: This wave where it's like I just be like, I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: feel like doing it, and we do it and it
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: usually goes well.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And then who kind of does the logistics?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So myself for Nadi, he's a member of my team.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: He helps with booking, Tiata helps with logistics. Millie is
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: on my team so anytime we go to a tour
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: route and she kind of plans and.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Give a Guyan girl team, you've bounce.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I like that because sometimes you work with people and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: they like Slayholder, Like Charlemagne's company is pretty much ran
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: by women, Black women, which is amazing by the way
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: he treats man.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be where I am without women. I have
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: a team of like the most incredible creative intuit in
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: women when it comes to just business and everything.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Now, one of the things I did see, and I
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: could be wrong, maybe lack of research, but I feel
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: like on one of the things you have posted was like,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: if people buy your records, they have like some kind
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: of ownership in it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so not necessarily if you buy it some people.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: So on.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Usually on projects, I'll sell my album before it comes
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: to streaming, and anyone who buys that project is up
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: for selection to receive a royalty. So I usually go
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: through the list of buyers and I'll pick like fifty
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: to one hundred people, sometimes one hundred and fifty if
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling good, sometimes two hundred, and I'll give them
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: a percentage of royalty in different songs from that album.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: You can also buy royalties, like you could make an
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: offer to purchase a share.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: So if you have a favorite.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Song you like I love this song, I know it's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be big, or just I love this song, I
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: just want to have a stake in it, you can
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: make an offer to me and say I want five
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: percent of the revenue from this song.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I'm willing to.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Give you a thousand dollars five hundred dollars, and I'll
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: hit you and negotiate and say I'm willing to take
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: this or I'm not, and then I send you a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: percentage to the distro you collect every month into perpetuity
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: for the rest of your life.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never heard of someone do that, bro, never
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I've never heard a song.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I was like, did he do what I.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Think he did?
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: How do you? How do you? How did you come
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: up with that? Though?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Like how it was just a late night thought of
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Like I've always been split in revenue with my team.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Everyone who helped, producers, engineers, they all get a percent.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: So one day it was just like, we should give
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the fans some They listened to this shit every day.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Imagine if your favorite jay Z song, imagine you listen
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: to it every day, but you don't want to percent it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: My fans, like bagas Claim blew up. Some of my
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: fans had equity in that song when it first dropped,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a year before it even took off.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: So they for the rest.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Of their life, they're going to be getting money off
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: bagas Claim because they just made the right call.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: They enjoyed this song so and then but.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: They reached out to you, or how did you even
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: announce that?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I made this big announcement and Tieta on my team.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: She created this form for people to go fill out
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and you put all your information, you put your offer
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: amount how much you want. It comes to a database.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I look at all the offers. I'll email you and say,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I send your offer, I liked it, I accept you
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: email me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I go through every offered.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Personal badass even through email, Like when we do bookings
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: and shit like, people are always surprised that they're talking
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: It's like, it's my business. Of course you're talking to me.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: It makes sense, right. Most of my companies, for some
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: reason cannot get them past a certain threshold. I don't
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: know if it's like my whatever, but so most of
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: my companies are smaller. So I'll email, but I email
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: under an alias. It'll be like Samantha and it'll be
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: like Samantha.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: John was so crazy.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: When I used to send out emails to get booked,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: to go to venues and try to book them. I
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: used to act like I was my own manager, and
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: then eventually it's like, bro, it's me, I am the Russell.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to the venue. This is what I want
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: to do right. And I've gotten so much more rapport
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: and response because it's like, of course people want to
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: talk to you, like I'm doing it right.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: You didn't feel at some point it hinders, how much
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: more you can yet, because like I'll give it pretty
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: v uh. I emailed her and I'm like, okay, you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: she responded and then like it was her, and then
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: she got on the phone with me. She like just
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: called me, and then I hear the Jamaican accent. I'm like,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I said, and we ended up vibing
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: on the phone like for forty five minutes. And but
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: it was it was the first time that I cold
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: called emailed somebody and not only did they respond in
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: record speed, but I mean, first of all, that girl
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: is as humble as a yet right, But that was
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the first time that I've ever seen like someone on
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: that level just be like, what's.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Up, what's up?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Let's do it. She was like, what do you want
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: me to cook? I got beans and that I was like,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? You're dope. I was just like
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, and it was past, no team,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: no nothing, And you know, I didn't even know it
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: was her until she called me, and I was like, oh,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it's you. You know, that's like if jay Z calls
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: me after an email and be like.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Right, people usually get that same shock, but it just
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: builds a different relationship right big. You respect what someone
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: is building a lot more when you know they're working
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: it right. It's hard to fuck someone over when it's like,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: oh it's you, Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're right. There's a different rapport you have to.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Do.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: You have an internal rule about letting new people into
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: your camp because it seems like you have a very
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: large camp.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: It is kind kind of yeah, even my immediate group
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: is pretty large. There's not really a rule, just an energy, right,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: if I know who I like and who I don't like,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: and who fits and who doesn't. Sometimes we'll try people
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: out and it's like ah, that didn't really work, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: we kind of maneuver forward. But it's not really any rule,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: just your energy, how you feel, how everyone feels about you,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: how you feel about everyone, and we could usually get
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: a sense of that really fast. I also have like
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I like to work with people who work hard, like
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the best. You know, I don't want to It's like, bro,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I'm playing at a high level at all times. If
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: you can't keep up, you need to go on the
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: other court and play with the little kids for a
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: big to your game.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Get up.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Have you experienced failure or let me just rephrase that,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: have you experienced perceived failure?
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: I hate the word, of course, yeah, of course me.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: About like perceived failure and like what the experience was.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Man, I've had shows where there was five people in
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: the crowd and I had to pay for a venue.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I rented a sprinter van to get my team there.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: We brought the equipment, We brought a ton of merch
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: that we didn't sell because there wasn't no one to
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: sell it to.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: And that was a tough ride home. You know, I
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: was silent.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I'm usually the allowing and talking and talking, but I
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: was silent, right, And I've had several of those moments
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: of perceived failure even beyond that, just sometimes releasing merch
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: and putting all your money into it and it doesn't
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: go the people don't react. Early on, I had a
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: lot of albums. I dropped twenty two albums. I've had
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of albums early on where I was like,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be Yeah, we've been, we've been, We
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: didn't blow nothing. Howels is a lot Yeah, way more coming.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Twenty two owls, not even twenty two singles.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: No, And that's just my catalog.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I've written other EP single albums for a bunch of
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: other people. So, but just in my own album, it's
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: twenty two.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: When you experience perceived failure, can you walk me through
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: your thoughts?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Usually is negative first, right, It's all like I look
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: for all the problems, what I didn't do, how I
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: didn't do it while I could have done it better.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: And then eventually it just becomes like analytical solution based,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: like I always want to I always want to prove
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: me wrong or anybody wrong. I'm like, well, I'm I'm
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: finna next time. I'm gonna do it triple besides, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a success. But yeah, it's usually just
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: that emmer emotional turmoil that comes with it first, where
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: you know, you feel that dark cloud over you and
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: sometimes you got a crowd. You got to sit in
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: that and kind of be in that space until you
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: could work through it.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that you didn't just say, well, maybe this
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: is a question. But in that negative space, have you
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: questioned your worth? Like whether you know, like, oh, well
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: five people. I get the logistics because I as an entrepreneur,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I get like what did we do? What could we
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: have done differently? But in that negative space can you say,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: and you are prolific for sure, But have you questioned
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: your own.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Not in music?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Like anytime I failed in music, it wasn't a question
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: of my own worth. It was just like they don't
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: see it, right, I knew, I knew I was it.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just like they don't see it. I haven't done
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: enough work for them to see it. They don't see it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: So I've never questioned my worth in that aspect. If
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I'm questioning my worth, it's usually through some life shit,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: like me doing something against my own morals or against
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: my own code, or just I let somebody down that's
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: dear to me. Those are moments I question my worth
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: when I can't show up for my daughter in a
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: way that I felt like I should.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Things like that, but not music. And I put my.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Hours career wise.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, no, not career wise at all. I know
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: what I'm worth in my career. I know what I deliver,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I know what I bring forth, and even even through life,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: like I'm getting to a point where I know my
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: impact and how significant I am to you know, the
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: life around me and the world.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I'm feeding a community community.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: So there's a book I just recently checked out. I
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: don't know if you ever heard of it. It's I'm
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: called male versus Man, dere Whitfield shout outs to him.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I picked up the book. I thought it was for men,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: but so I got it for my my friend, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: but I ended up reading it because I like to read.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I got to get to a book.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I'm literally in a book head. I am obsessed with books.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: But I read the book and one of the things
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: he pointed out in the book, which I will gift
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: you the book now that I have, I think I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: have your address on it.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I'll get to information.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, But anyways, one of the things he talked about
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: was like the male versus man. You know, the male
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: is self seeking and the man is of service, which
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: is different problem. I never thought of that, Like, so
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: when a guy takes me on a date, I'm like,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: are you trying to give me? Are you trying to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: serve me? Now, at first I was like, oh, that's
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: messed up to like seek service, But as a female,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: it's actually not, because you know, we seek protection and
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: we seek Some of us do need help providing, and
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: some of us need of course, everyone wants to be professed.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Marry me. The announce the world. I'm the one. I
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: also am a hip hop head. And after reading that
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: book lately, it's like every song on the radio is
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: like shout out to my sneaky link or or yeah,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I'm having sex with my side chick raw. But I'm
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: never gonna leave you. I'm never gonna leave my family
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: for you. And and I'm like, yo, did he really
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: just say he's having sex with his side chick raw
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: and that's why she's attached? And some of these lyrics
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: are so terrible to women. I'm like, at what point?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: And who is responsible? And this is just an honest
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: like friend or you know you you you have responsibilities
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: as a philosopher and entrepreneur and a leader and being
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: a vulnerable man yourself. Like who do you think is responsible?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Is it the art form? Is it the male energy
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: or is it us women? Uh?
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's responsible, but I think everyone is accountable.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I hear the same music coming from females as well.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I went into an ail salon I saw nothing but
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: strippers right all the.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's a responsibility, but there's an accountability.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: And I think that's one of those things that it's
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: hard to ever be what you never see, right. A
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: lot of these men that make it in hip hop
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: and music, they haven't had great examples of leadership or
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: of men that have that in them to not fall
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: to desire, or that are disciplined or impeccable in their
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: soul or fulfilled to where they don't need to seek
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: or go get extra and the same with women. So
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's just we often act these artists to
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: build things that they don't have the tools to build, right. Yeah,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Like if you go look in their toolbox, it's it's
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: like you want to.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Build a house with us.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like jay Z kind of touched on that
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: in I want to say four for four or one
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: of the altists like where he was the first one
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Where we've seen that, Oh wow, you've upgraded your toolbox, right,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: But a lot of artists don't have that. We're coming
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: out of environments that don't nurture that type of behavior
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: or system. Like when I was coming up, the older
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: men around me was like players too, Like, bro, what
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you feel me? So you grow up embracing that and
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: wanting to.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Be like that. That's what you replicate.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: That's what you know, you don't see anyone I've I
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: don't think I've ever seen a man that was just
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: so in love and revered their family so much and
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: treated they women so well, like they meant the world
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: to me. For me to be like man, that's what
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I want, right, Very seldom do you witness that and
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: experience that. But yet you expect someone to conduct themselves
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: in that manner. That's what's not gonna happen.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. So when it comes to accountability in your
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: personal life, who holds you accountable? Is it? I don't
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: want to answer the question.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Everyone around me in a sense holds me accountable in
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: some way, but ultimately me like I have to be.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I have to be the one that wants to get
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: up every day and put in work and be better
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: and want to drop my daughter off and pick her
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: up and do work and things like that. But everyone
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: around me, from myself, my mom, my dad, my daughter,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: her mother, tiera Millie testing everyone are Fannie. Just all
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: of my friends hold me accountable in some aspect. They're
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: always in my You know, I can only stoop so
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: low sometimes before someone's like, hey, bro, what we doing?
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Oh? I like that? I like that, Okay, is there
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: anything that your fans are me don't know about you?
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I mean everything. I mean I guess you only know
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: the music.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Well because you kind of signed a camera on your entrepreneurship.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: You also do all these little I don't want to
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: say little, but these gems on social media. So when
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I say is there anything we don't know about you?
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're it's like you learn a lesson.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: You're like, let's put it out there, learn that put
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: social battle that I be, like, I don't know if
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I want to get personal, man, real.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: No such thing. I've had the really reals and I
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: shared there's no such thing. Because there's a billion people
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: in the world and someone's been through exactly what you've
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: been through, and they may need your help, right, but
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: you're refusing to hell, you have all the tools and
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: all the means to help them, but you're refusing to
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: do it because of your own fear, right, And like,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want to deny nobody of that tool.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Like I want people to be able to grow.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: If that's going to be through me just sharing what
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I felt or experienced, that's an easy call, right.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Do you do? And the the world is always a
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: sensitive around this top, but I'm gonna go ahead and
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: throw it out there. But like, do you believe in therapy?
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Do you do therapy?
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: So I recently started therapy, probably a few months back,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: and I had a few sessions and it's cool. I'm
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: not consistent with it because I don't feel like I'm
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: gaining much from it. But I also had like an
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: expectation of what I was supposed to get from it,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: like I'm supposed to be here, like I have a
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: new sessions. It's like, man, I'm an old new man, right,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: And that's not how it happens. And for me, I
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: just realized that it was worth that I need to
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: do right. I don't need anyone's help to be a
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: better human. I just need to choose to be a
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: better human and commit to that. That's not something I
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: need to talk to someone about. If you want to, yes,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: But for me personally, it's like I built an entire empire.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: I could definitely build myself.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: As a man, right. I don't need anyone's assistant to
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: do that. But I chose.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I've chosen not to, right, I've chosen not to allocate
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: my energy towards that which is the only reason I
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: haven't grown in any way that I wish to.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: It's funny you say that because I recently full vulnerability here.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I recently did try therapy and I kind of felt like,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: oh man, this is gonna sound really shitty for all
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: those people that give it to them. But I felt like, yeah,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I wasn't getting the response in that I needed, in
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: the record speed that I needed, And it was like
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I knew the answers, but I just wasn't choosing to
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: make the choice that I needed to make. And in therapy,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: it takes so much uprooting of your childhood to get
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: to the route that I was, like, yo, I'm not
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: trying to relive the thing that I ran from, like
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: trying to give me PTSD. Like no, I'm good, But
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I do agree with you, and I'm glad you were
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: honest about that because people say therapy therapy, therapy, and
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I actually thought you weren't gonna say that you do
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: therapy because I low key feel like your vulnerability and
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: your lyrics is a form of therapy.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Definitely, Definitely, that's where I get to get all of
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: that from.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: And someone gets you, man, and like, because I feel
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: like Drake, every time.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: Writing and talking really helps.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing about the past, like you're saying,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: and that shows you how much you're how deep your
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: trauma is because you think like speaking about it is
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: reliving it. You can't relive the past, right, It's already
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: been lived, it's gone. It only exists in your memory.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: You can't relive it. But we when trauma hits in
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: a certain way, it makes you feel like you're going
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: through that experience again, but it's not. And you really
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: have to work through that to get You got to
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: go through it to get through it, right.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or you can try. I don't. I tried my
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: hardest to I believe. I tell myself this. Every storm.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: At the end of every storm is a rainbow. So
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the faster I don't cope through it, or the more
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I do not cope and numb, the faster I get
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: through the storm. So like if I were to numb
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: some and drink, get high, have sex, or do whatever
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: it is, go go to the mall, look pretty, whatever
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I gotta do, go to the clubs. If I cope
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: through it, then it's gonna take me longer to heal.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: So if I go through it and like blow up
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: my girlfriends then to strangers and seven elevens. You know whatever,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get through it faster even though it's gonna hurt,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, right.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: So definitely, you definitely prolong the healing process as you
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: as you act right. Every every twinkie you eat just
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: makes you closer to the opposite end of where you
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: want to be, right, like exactly, And that's how it
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: is with everything. Every time you do another act that
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: goes against what you want to be, you're just adding it.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Because the thing with with how the human system work
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: is the more you do something, the better you get
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: at it. Right, So the more you live fout, the
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: better you get at it. Some people are phenomenal cheaters,
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: and it's because they do it a whole lot. Yeah, right,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: So every time you do it, you're getting better at it,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: which needs it's going to take a lot longer to
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: get better in the other direction because you're so exceptional
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: at what you do. If you lie a lot, you're exceptional,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: it's going to take you a lot to become someone
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: who tells the truth exceptionally.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's deep. That's deep, but I think at
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I mean, I personally give
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: people a lot of grace. I'm one of those people
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: that you could literally push me off my seat and
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: be like I was just angry. My bag clams, so
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh no, it's okay. But now I'm
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: at the place where it's like, I get it, you're angry.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to sit next to you anymore.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Like take your anger out on the flowers over there,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: you know, But it's a pleasure to have you. I know,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: we kind of we're all over this space. I really
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: would like to go to your show tonight. I know, yes,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I do have some plans, but I'm a pivot and
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I'm a mother now, so trust me, everything is like
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: a babysitter, babysitter, nanny, babysitter is like any amount of
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: freedom cost you have to come.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: This is going to be special.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna come. I am a true fan. I
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: have so much admiration for the way you run your businesses,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: how everyone gets a buy and how everyone gets an
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: option to invest in, how you partner and do this
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: restaurant where it's like pay what you what you want
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: which is brilliant and it's just something that a lot
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: of artists aren't doing right, you know. And I love
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: the vulnerability and your lyrics. So I'm truly thankful that
