It gets firstly into it, man, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.880 what made you both start making music? 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.920 What was your inspiration? 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.440 Who was some people I looked up too early on 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.440 to kind of molded Joe sound of how I wanted 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.000 to get to it. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.959 I guess I'll leave that, uh Man. Chris Cross is 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.880 who made me want to be a rapper, want, you know, 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.160 being a I don't know how much older they are 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.000 than I am. When I first seen them, you know, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.880 it was a fucking you know, it was a marvel 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:38.720 to see kids rapping. So of course I know I 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.600 gained the inspiration to become a rapper. I thought I 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.560 would become a rapper right then, which I'm glad I didn't, 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.600 because what I had to rap about then wasn't worth 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.640 Uh wasn't worth me rapping about in the first place. 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.240 But that's where it started, you know, the idea or 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.400 the passion. I think it grew from that to see 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.320 that kids could do it, and it ain't really started 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.240 working out for me too, you know, mid twenties. But 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.200 you know, I think, you know, it's like it happens 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.119 how it happens, you know, the you know, things had 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.880 to take place in order for me to be in 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.720 the right space and I think not to be arrogant 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.560 and amount of but I they had to grow to 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.320 become an artist, and you know, but that's where it started. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.279 Once I seen them, it was a light bulb. I 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:25.919 couldn't them for sure. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.240 Yeah, it was probably ice Cube Snoop Dogg earlier like 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:34.479 West Coast, West Coast, but oh, lifestyle aesthetic O like 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.640 just you know, being a little kid and seeing that 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.880 this thing that was cool and imagery from the movies 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.479 and all that a little lighter probably the hot Boys 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.560 for show the next thing or like that was the 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.520 time period when I probably started rapping. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.120 Before then, I just thought, you know, rappers were cool 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:51.680 or whatever. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.520 Yeah, by the times in high schools like wanting to 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.599 want some money, you know, I want to look like 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.159 it and et cetera. And the when I actually started rapping, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.040 it was like more lyrical rappers that kind of got 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.799 my attention to Jay the Kids, Fab East Coast, DJ 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.400 Clue mixtapes. But it was still you know, the hog 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.600 Boys and Wayne the squad Up e was probably like 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.480 the biggest influence at the time that I started rapping. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:23.320 Damn. Yeah, when Wayne turned into a whole different kind of. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.040 Rapper, that's crazy. You said squad up taps. People forget 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.200 how fired and squad up types. That was before the 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:34.839 dedications do your research for show. Yeah, man, first of all, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.039 we we're gonna get to the music. But guying that, man, 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.840 we put up to the game. I know y'all both 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.440 love basketball. What's your first thought process when you see 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:47.279 Luca and Lebron on the same damn team, Because that's. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.200 It's still surreal to this point. I just watched the game, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:49.839 still crazy. 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.640 When I walked in, I was like, them tickets so damn. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.560 But it was I mean, I'm like, you know, to 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.120 legendary players, like really almost a generational part. Yeah, seeing 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.200 him on the same team like that, it's like, damn, 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.360 I still don't know how they pulled that out. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.159 Yeah, that's where I think when I see that, I really, 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.000 you know, what's really going on? Highway ropper something. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.960 It's also interesting to see Lebron the fight to somebody 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.279 like I ain't you know, Lebron never been I ain't 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.320 don't necessarily say, the second best player on the team, 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.719 but that's kind of a rolly player, and that's that's different. 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.360 I never thought about that because he was chilling the 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.080 whole game, chilling two points vacation. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:33.559 He was killing. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.560 At first, he was crazy, but it was a few 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.440 times he really like motioning for Luca, like come get 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.799 the ball, like you got it. H I say, Lebron 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.719 play off here like three or four times. I ain't 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:45.320 never looked like that. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.240 She did that when I was playing. They got the 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.080 ball every time. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.520 Wasn't the fill see them winning the chip? I was 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:01.120 thinking that too, like the roll player stuff like man, 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.600 boy Hayes, look and uh, what's doing. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.200 They getting shots like that? 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:14.760 Time got some bodies, they got a chance out to do, 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:15.400 got a chance. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.120 It was definitely you know your basketball man, your man 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.880 coaching head coach T s U.

I'm 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.600 just saying, you know, he was on the side question 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:52.080 not quite you know, and got it, had ship going on, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.840 he had business to tend to. I ain't want to 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.360 be the nigga shitting watching him do what he got 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.600 to do. I want to be along for the part 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.560 of this that involves me. But certain shit didn't involve me. So, like, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.720 you know, God is going to go do a verse 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.080 for so and so they might be in the fucking 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.520 studio five hours. I'm just gonna be a nigga sitting 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.440 in the studio. I don't smoke on drink, so I'm 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.240 gonna be a nigga sitting in the studio like this. 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.760 So when you know, whatever he was going to do, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.440 you know, it was in that kind of you know, 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.720 he wasn't doing nothing that I needed to learn from 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:32.640 or watch. So while it was doing that, I think 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.280 Stenham had lined up a verse for another one of 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.760 got his artists. So I was like, all right, I know, 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.080 I'll rather with y'all then. So I had no idea 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.680 what he was going to lead those studios. When we 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.400 got to lead those studio, he set them up to 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.280 do the feature fast forward, said he. I don't know 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.440 how he did it, but that was our first time 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.760 meeting each other. And at some point his people came 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.640 down and told me, you know, a guy wanted to 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.720 buy a verse for me. I'm like, man, I don't 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.760 you know, I don't I don't know anybody in here. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.920 I just met him. So when I you know, later 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.080 on that night I found out that Star pretty much 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.680 was the person that convinced you to to get that. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.240 I don't remember who the hell it was. It got 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.320 the worse, but we was on the road and what 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:21.920 I was doing for you know, my my profession at 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.160 the moment, well at that moment, I couldn't do that traveling, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.280 so you know, my pockets was a little light. He 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.520 couldn't have knew, you know that that that that me 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.960 getting some bread right then was you know, that ship 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.040 was like oxygen. So him lining that up, they kind 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.640 of on, They kind of changed my perspective of who 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.600 he was. You know, again, it was my first time 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.520 meeting him that day and all the way up until then, 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.160 me being only familiar with his music, but being familiar 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.920 with rappers, I had to was preconceived, preconceived notion that 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.080 he'd be more like rappers when you meet you know, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.320 I can't speak for everybody, but when you meet rappers, 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.040 some rappers don't turn the rappers shit off, like you know, 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.240 you can tell that you know you're acting, I don't. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.480 You know, I don't need to the camera version of you. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.639 I need the real version of you. And for me, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.200 so many and it still happens even to this day. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.199 But that's how that's how I assume star would be. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.040 So when I met him, you know, I you know, 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.600 I met him, I was doing so, you know, I 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.239 and I went back downstairs. So later on, after you know, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.840 finding out, he lined their vers so for me and 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.320 we said we rapped for a second, not we said 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.159 and we talked for a second. And you know, I 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.720 think that was the the thing that made me have 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.199 to be a little more open minded because I'm like, 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.800 you know, I assumed he was this kind of guy 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.600 and he's the total opposite. So he's made me some bread. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.280 He made nothing off of it, and he had no 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.000 there was nothing invested in it for him. He had 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.720 to have just you know, fuck with me for you know, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.200 he had to have done that just because he fucked 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:56.600 with me as an artist, because he don't know me 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.240 as a person. So from that, you know, I think, 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.440 you know, they gave me the I don't know, like 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.040 I said, I don't work well with others. So that 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.159 was I guess that was like the olive branch, so 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.280 to speak. And he couldn't have known that, but that 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.280 was the you know, the gestion that made me say, 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.800 you know, he's a cool dude. You know, I get 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.320 you know, get to nor him and see see where 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:18.720 this goes for sure? 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.159 For sure? All right, man, before we go to be 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.040 here sometime, get some drinks up in here. 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.600 I don't know what my guy. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.119 That's freaking out. You gotta you gotta figure out what 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.760 that means. Sometimes big a couple of things.

Like I played my little brother one 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.679 on one all the time competitive We family though, at 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.280 the end of the dying each other to get better. 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.160 Yeah, Like was it like that for your Nah? 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:47.400 I don't. 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:48.280 I don't think so. 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.119 Like that's and I think that's probably why we're still 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:52.520 rocking fifteen years later. 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:54.359 Rap groups don't last. 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:55.240 You know what I'm saying. 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.000 You can kind of run down the list, like I 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:02.560 think what happens is we we might have like favorite verses, 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.080 like you know, I would say for every song, I 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:09.800 probably got a favorite verse, But all those favorite verses 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.320 ain't mine. If they're making any sense. You know, I could, 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.480 it could be a particular record, and I really fucked 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:20.439 with his verse, and like you said, you know I should. 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:25.560 It's I don't know, because it's not a competition any 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.560 shape form of fashion, like if you ever sat in 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.680 a session, or any person that's ever sat in a 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:35.479 session like wet even on that kind of time, like 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.359 when we started working, we're working in unison, and we 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.120 might speak to each other about where we're going, depending 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.760 on you know, what kind of record it is. But 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.159 for the most part, our verses all wrote at the 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.720 same time. So when he going to the booth to 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.560 do his, I'm going to do mine or vice versus 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.439 whoever's first or whatever order. Most of the time, I, 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.320 you know, our verses of that pretty much at the 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.600 same time. Or I might be well, one of us 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.080 might be closing the verse and the other one just 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:09.919 finished and go in and record it. And we like 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:13.679 to at least when it happens, I believe, and just 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.200 let it shit flow naturally. So if I'm writing my 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.520 verse and he says something in in his verse while 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.720 he recorded nine times out of ten, I you know, 0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:23.920 I'm probably at the end of the verse. But either way, 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.040 if he said something that inspired me to say something, 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.320 or if I like the line he said, you know, 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.800 we will repeat the line you know where it came from, 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.400 or sometimes you don't. We don't much care because what 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.159 we're doing, you know, we both fully aware of what 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.359 we're trying to build. I want you to like the song. 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.800 I don't want you to like a verse from the song, 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.919 so you know, when we're doing the shit, we ain't really. 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:48.120 I think it's competitive in a sense, but not so much. 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.280 You know, we don't see it and say, oh man, 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:55.320 I gotta get well sometimes but that happened, But that 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.800 happens on features. Sometimes people will get a verse from 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:02.360 both of us. Just seldom, but they get a verse 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:06.160 from both of us. And it's only a select few 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:09.480 people will allow to get both of us on the 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.600 song because we feel like, you know, that's lending our brand. 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:17.320 But when it happens, most times, I don't know the 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:21.080 stars on the song. So when it happened, you know, 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:25.320 I'm gonna just do what I do and then create. 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:28.680 It's having a few times great com like they didn't 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:31.440 tell me you was the verse on it, du. 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.040 Like I know you was on it for the bars 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:34.320 on the. 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.120 Sometimes take over. 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:42.360 But you know, but other than that, we know when 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:46.840 we creating, especially like step Brothers music, whenever we create 0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:51.119 music that's step Brothers, we do it in person, so 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.320 you know, I'm fully aware they you know that he 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:55.000 on the record. 0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.400 It's like it's like still sharp and still it's more 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.600 more than yeah, you know, like you said, y'all play 0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.800 one on one. It's like sparring in that sense, but 0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:08.639 when we working, it ain't. 0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:12.400 The end game is for you to feel to finish product. 0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.600 So it's like, I mean, for sure, there's been times 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.480 I'm like, damn, you kill me, but that's like a 0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:24.040 good thing that the song was better, and I'm supreme 0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.320 to confident that when I go in and work with him, 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.960 I know what you're gonna do, so I can't step 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:31.320 or you know, I know I'm gonna get smashed on 0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:35.359 the song.

Then it was a little bit 0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:19.120 of everybody trying to rock with him. I was even 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.520 in a position where people was like, man, you should 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.560 get in. I'm like, no, I think, well, you know, 0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:28.400 his trajectory is bigger than the help I could directly offer. 0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:30.440 But that's Trually, I'd just rather be like in. 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:32.480 There's a lot of artists where like I met him 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:35.600 early on, I was around and whatever small part I 0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:38.080 might have played, and they story, I'm like, I just 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.000 counted as like that's that's what's up. 0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:42.640 I mean, it's a part of my legacy too. 0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.240 I was there, I reach out to everybody too. 0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:50.120 I don't have to know you. I think you know. 0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:54.280 Many people don't respond. I just used That's really why 0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:58.160 I used social media for so I've been feeling like 0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:02.959 if if I know you, you you know about to 0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:05.800 make a mistake, and I don't do nothing to prevent it, 0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.800 then I feel like I'm at fault. I feel like 0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:12.280 it's my fault you made that mistake. I don't know 0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:14.760 how much since that that really makes, but. 0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:16.560 I don't know. 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:18.280 It almost seemed like a dude it, like I have 0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:19.959 to say it. I got a du and you and say, 0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:22.480 hey man, you know you got this in this movie 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:25.600 and you should maybe you know, do x Y and 0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:28.560 Z or not do x Y and Z. And you know, 0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.560 I try not to give people advice because you know, 0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.440 my ship, my path wasn't perfect either, So I can't 0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.280 tell you what wouldn't work or what won't work. But 0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.000 I can tell you what I did and how it 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.920 went wrong. And you know you take from that what 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:43.840 you will, and you know you can make it make 0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:45.960 sense for you. Then that's great. You know we can't 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.440 all dunk, so you know, not for sure. 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.320 Little I wanted to ask you, like, what's the benefits 0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:55.160 of signing to a major though. 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:59.880 Spending somebody else money number one. Yeah, but on it back. 0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:05.000 I mean, but that's if you don't I mean, if 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:08.960 you ain't got it like ship. Yeah, but uh, I 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.560 mean it's it's a lot of benefits to it, truthfully, 0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:17.040 Like they moved a needle on stuff. Okay, So it's 0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:23.120 a lot of relationships these companies and partnerships. 0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:26.040 With each other, like back door type of type of situation. 0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:29.240 So it's better to be on that side of the 0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.960 things is moving, I guess tricks of the trade. But 0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.400 like Trip said, like you know, whatever you're taking the 0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.520 front end, you're gonna cop them something back the yeah. 0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:41.960 Shout out to the shout out to the game. 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:45.800 I mean the thing now is just to be independent 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:47.600 in the rap game, and a lot of people go 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.800 into it with no education behind it. 0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:53.920 And yeah not even at least bit. 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:59.080 But see, I think it's pros and cons to both sides, 0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:04.000 and music just happens to be at least rap music. 0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:06.440 I can't say music as a wholes, I don't have 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:11.680 experiencing other genres of it, but rap music don't get 0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:14.400 no free requences. You know, you want to play ball, 0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.680 you know, you gotta start ship, damn For elementary school, 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.080 you gotta do aau shits and you know you gotta 0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:23.080 do all them camps and shit. But it's things in 0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:26.720 place to teach you how to become you know, how 0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:30.040 to play team ball, or how to adapt to it. 0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.560 Even you know, as you progress to different levels of it. 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:35.040 You know, when you get to high school, you know 0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:37.880 you play a little different than you play in elementary 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:41.080 or middle school. Then you know, same for college, same 0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:43.280 for if you go into like summer league, same for 0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:46.920 when you go to the actual league. It's a learning process, 0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:49.800 but it's it's things and people in place to teach 0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.920 you how to move along with that. In the rap 0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:58.880 business man, it's it's more filled with people that that 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:02.440 gatekeeper anything. But I ain't no, ain't no, ain't no. 0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:05.320 There's no way to learn this ship before you jump 0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:07.760 in this ship. You almost got to make the mistakes 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.280 to figure it out. And a lot of the people, 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.240 like you know, we feel the opposite about it. There's 0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:15.440 a lot of people that feel like, shit, nobody helped me, 0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:19.200 so shit, I ain't helping you. And but that's the 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:22.240 trigger thing about the music business. So right now, the 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:24.920 you know the fact, the trend that is to be 0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:29.600 independent because the word independent sound you know, it makes 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:33.440 you sound self sufficient. You sound like a self made 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:37.920 artist or self made boss. But in real life, you 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:43.640 really want to do whatever benefits you. So I wouldn't 0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:46.480 say don't be independent. I wouldn't say go be independent. 0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:48.760 You gotta go with what work. So if you step 0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:52.040 in it and you spent, how much you spent and 0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:55.080 you can't sustain doing this ship because in real life 0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.200 you got real life to deal with. You know. That's 0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.760 why they say it's a young I don't agree, but 0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:02.320 I'm understand why. But they say it's a young man's game. 0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:05.320 It's a young man's game because you got the time 0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:10.160 to be able to to go through the shit you 0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.960 got to go through at nineteen signing to a label 0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:16.880 then oh and m fucking five hundred thousand dollars, Having 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.080 to deal with that at nineteen is a whole lot 0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.359 smoother than dealing with that at thirty six. You got 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:25.759 four or five kids. You know, you got more responsibility. 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:27.920 You don't got the room to have to deal you know, well, 0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:31.000 you don't have the room to be able to work 0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:34.520 through that to learn from that. But in the music business, 0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:37.520 people think, you know, if they like right now, they 0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:39.920 think sign into a major is the worst thing in 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:43.160 the world. Real time is not. I think you just 0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:45.879 got to know what you're getting yourself into. And you know, 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.480 it's more about your plan, right, you know, and if 0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:49.840 you don't, got to plan out and. 0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:52.920 We sign without a plan and get lost on the sauce. 0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:56.680 So exactly, you know, you can be independent without a plan. 0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:59.439 You're just saying you're independent kind of thing. I think 0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:03.680 signing up or whatever, it's just kind of like being 0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:07.239 able to work. You're playing because even that that's the thing. 0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:11.080 Like the time that I was signed, it was like going. 0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:12.839 To school, I use it. 0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:17.600 I ended up using education, okay, like because it was 0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:20.880 a lot that I saw things working for other people. 0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:23.120 I wasn't in the same position they was when I 0:35:23.160 --> 0:35:26.839 had a leverage otherwise, but I saw like they working, yeah, 0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:30.799 outside of just the machine and all like that. I'm like, man, 0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:33.680 these dudes never stopped working, and so I'm like, I'm 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:35.480 gonna apply it. I might not be able to scale 0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.960 it the same way. I'm gonna take what I've got 0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:40.920 and just double down on what works for me. 0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:44.600 Okay, Yeah, and that's what's super dope about yalls that 0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:47.759 obviously you put your head down in the music sales itself. 0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:48.920 And y'all both have co followings. 0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:52.719 We talk about the independency like opportunities and stuff. Now 0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:54.120 you think it's a little bit easier for artists to 0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:56.160 jump into the game now because of social media and 0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:58.520 stuff like that, because you got people like jell O 0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.120 come in. We know you know him as a rapper, 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:02.440 yell smack. 0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:10.600 The word Look, I understand the man named wrong fever. 0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:12.200 I was like. 0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:18.440 Yellow or something. He said, Yello, I'm thinking jellale Yello. 0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:23.000 I don't know if you want to. I was like, damn, 0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:29.160 was baffled. It's a rapper name. Access. 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.239 Access is plentiful, man, Like, yeah, you know you can 0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:35.839 you can blow up faster, you you know what I mean. 0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:39.200 You can reach you can go farther faster because at 0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:42.080 the resource of the internet, like the world like very smile, 0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:45.279 So people can get like hip to the same thing. 0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.520 Like even for y'all to say, I was on Greg Goose, 0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.839 like what it took to get the record high. It 0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:52.719 was a lot of footwork, It was a lot of 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.759 like Vinyl records and delivering them, put them in a 0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.600 mailbox and them and the DJ is like going a 0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:02.440 little for Kentucky diarbies. Like there's probably the trickle down 0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:08.120 of it reaching Indianapolis going to all the HBCU Football 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:11.279 Classic weekends. Like we're jumping out in traffic with like 0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:15.440 gorilla marketing versus now it's like a streamer plays your 0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:19.560 song and it goes everywhere the next day, Like I mean, 0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.920 that's that's beautiful for you know, yeah, I guess for 0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:25.520 people that can advantage themselves off of it. But it's 0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:28.120 also like you know, it's like microwaves stuff, like the 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:29.239 food is good. 0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:33.520 Yeah, and not only that, but like I said, the 0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:36.960 no courses for this shit. So you know, you take 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:41.920 a nineteen year old that didn't have any aspirations of 0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:46.160 being a musician or being in the business and you know, 0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.640 they did a song getting popped and now they in 0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:53.279 the mix. Imagine how easy it is to manipulate well, 0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:57.320 you know, for the industry. That person he learned nothing 0:37:57.360 --> 0:37:59.160 from it. You know, you don't know how this works. 0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:02.759 All of it is new. And this ship moved fast, 0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:06.399 and ship when you important and you know, and that's 0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:08.960 the trigger thing about it. A lot of times when 0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:12.640 you know a lot of shit. I'm sure we've all 0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:18.439 experienced it, you know, especially you whoever recruited you disappeared later. 0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:21.600 You know, they did all of the fantastic ship to 0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:23.560 get you where you was going. Yeah, and then once 0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:27.160 you got there, you won't Prome Queen no more, they nigga. 0:38:27.520 --> 0:38:29.640 They moved on to the next one, you know, to 0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:32.319 do the same process. And a lot of times what 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:35.240 happens when you're not you know, when you're not familiar 0:38:35.360 --> 0:38:38.480 with the process, you'll think you're on top of the 0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:44.160 world and you never start adjusting or you never start. 0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:46.399 Like you said, you got to learn from what's going on. 0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.399 So if you're on top of the world, you never 0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.279 start learning what happens when because there's no way to 0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:54.319 be there forever. So what happens when when that ship 0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:56.680 slowed down? What's you know, what's your next step now? 0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:59.120 And in a lot of cases, that's what create you know, 0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.680 we said all it happens. Almost every day you'll see 0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:05.719 a person that was some kind of social media sensation 0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.120 and now they got all kinds of weird legal troubles 0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:12.480 and ship. But because they was at you know they 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.120 was on top of the world at one point, and 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:17.640 they never fully adjusted to know to be able to 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:20.960 manage not being on top of the world. It's almost 0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:24.400 like a like an instant high, and now you're chasing 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:27.760 it high and in some cases you'll never get it again. 0:39:28.719 --> 0:39:31.080 But that's because you know, Shi, it's a whole lot, 0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:34.040 it's a whole lot easier to get it popping. But 0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:36.520 they don't necessarily make it easier. 0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:39.200 It ain't no such thing as a street team no more. 0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:47.080 You guys keep media team called game members. I had 0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:50.879 a question. So we was listening to music earlier, and yeah, 0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:53.319 five times one of my favorite songs. But when y'all 0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:58.880 heard Seeing Green by like Nikki Wayne Draking, Now, what's that? 0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:07.080 It's just a song, but well you know what I'm 0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:11.360 talking about. I know exactly what make you look looking. 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:16.000 Man, it's a song. 0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:17.759 He was a sign simple, I. 0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:22.759 Know the name. I never heard that what you was 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:23.279 asking about? 0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:26.920 It was like, do y'all be like, damn, Like I mean, 0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:29.080 I know it's a simple, but it's like because we 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.879 knew when I first heard him, Like, damn, I heard 0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:35.880 this before. Man, I want to shout out Shannon Sanders. 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:40.000 It's a producer songwriter from Nashville that that actually I 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:42.880 think produced the hell the helly song that that was 0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:46.719 simple somebody I know for like twenty plus years. I 0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:48.799 thought it was cool that they was sampling his work, 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:50.439 you know what I'm saying, way we did. 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:53.759 It's one of them situations, man, because it happened to 0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:55.239 me like a. 0:40:55.200 --> 0:41:00.560 Lot of times, like where things getting recycled, re rot 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:05.480 repurposed and very rarely like I ain't looking for acknowledgement 0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:06.759 because that's her song. 0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:07.439 It's that song. 0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:10.400 It's very. 0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.040 And I mean that's hip hop, you know what I'm saying, 0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:18.520 Like people are making the same song down their word 0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:23.719 for word, no for no over. But when I heard it, 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:26.400 I was just like, I thought it was interesting because 0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:28.200 that's one of our biggest songs. 0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:32.360 Man, well that's that ship was like, I'm like, nah, 0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:43.680 I never heard so yeah here, But I don't know. 0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:47.520 I don't really believe in coincidence, so a lot of 0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:48.799 times I didn't either. 0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:57.600 It's too close. I remember the producer dude doing of course, 0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:00.440 not the one that made the hours, but that went 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:06.520 viral making it in his car, right, So you know, 0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:11.759 I guess I was already conditioned for I understand the 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.080 I guess the process now for how they make beats. 0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.640 It ain't is not to say I don't know, he 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:20.440 know who made it? 0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:21.680 Street S made it? 0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:29.080 Okay, my bad greeted. You know, shit happens either way. 0:42:29.480 --> 0:42:32.520 Like the sampling process ain't the same no more it 0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:34.880 used to be. You know, they take the vinyl and 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:38.000 you have to like you had, you had to put 0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:41.080 some work in to to create the sample you was 0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:44.040 creating to make the beat, and now now it's a 0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.640 whole lot different, like it's websites. They already got the 0:42:46.760 --> 0:42:51.080 samples already cut up, so take it right, you take 0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:56.800 it and starting drums. So I never heard Nicki Minaj 0:42:56.960 --> 0:43:00.200 song on the beat, but you know I was where 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:04.319 did they use the same beat? I'm just not just 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:05.839 when nothing that was interested in show. 0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:11.560 I mean it just when it happens over and over 0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:12.280 and over again. 0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:19.280 He's a big you know, he got he got prior 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:20.800 experience and such. 0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:23.960 But they are different too though, because I can't charge it, 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:25.799 I don't know where where it comes from. 0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:29.839 Right, I'm saying it's happened to you more than it. 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.239 Just happened like that.

He 0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:19.120 was talking about all kinds of ship, A lot of 0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:23.200 ship made very little sense of ship made no sense. 0:55:24.520 --> 0:55:28.680 A lot of ship made since fucking six years later. 0:55:29.719 --> 0:55:32.239 Either way, he was just talking and he was like 0:55:32.640 --> 0:55:35.280 one of the things that it tripped me out because 0:55:35.320 --> 0:55:40.480 it was random, but me, you no, I guess following 0:55:41.120 --> 0:55:44.160 and paying attention to paying more attention to him. Afterwards, 0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:47.000 I understood it for the most part, he just speak 0:55:47.080 --> 0:55:50.239 his mind. But out of the blue, Nigga was like, 0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:54.759 you know, gates goats eat eat cans. They looked at it. 0:55:54.840 --> 0:56:02.279 He's off the cans. I'm like, why it came out 0:56:02.320 --> 0:56:06.560 of nowhere. But then starts where they started playing the music. 0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:08.960 And when they started playing the music like okay, okay, 0:56:09.000 --> 0:56:10.760 I can fuck with it. I fucked with I fucked 0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:14.520 with the passion in it, and all the way up 0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:16.000 into the end, I didn't really I didn't know who 0:56:16.000 --> 0:56:17.320 he was. Ain't know who he was and what he 0:56:17.400 --> 0:56:20.400 do ain't no ship. So when we stopped playing the music, 0:56:20.400 --> 0:56:24.000 I'm okay, No, he got something and start, you know, 0:56:24.600 --> 0:56:28.560 they started discussing making music, and some of the ship 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:31.880 that he was saying, some of the ship he was 0:56:31.920 --> 0:56:35.359 saying about music kind of changed how I looked at 0:56:35.480 --> 0:56:39.760 certain ship. Because he I can't remember what record, started 0:56:39.800 --> 0:56:43.719 playing him on record, and the record was either too 0:56:43.760 --> 0:56:46.319 long or too short, I can't really remember. But Star 0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:48.480 was like, nah, it was he was scared he was 0:56:48.520 --> 0:56:51.200 gonna make it too long. He was like, well, you know, 0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:53.360 I don't want to do or add another verse to 0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:55.239 it or something, because then the song gonna be too long. 0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:59.120 Gays like, man, how long the song is? Just forty seconds? 0:56:59.640 --> 0:57:01.160 That's all you got, That's all you got to put 0:57:01.160 --> 0:57:03.239 this ship out, eat this ship up. And when he 0:57:03.280 --> 0:57:06.000 said that, I'm like, that's crazy. Listening for the second 0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:10.279 song and then sucking two three years later, everybody's got 0:57:11.280 --> 0:57:15.160 fifty second songs. Nigga was onto something and you know 0:57:15.640 --> 0:57:19.440 the delivery, which was, you know, a bit of odd 0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:21.640 to me, but it made why I said, you know, 0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:24.760 some of the ship makes sense later. But me and 0:57:24.880 --> 0:57:27.080 him then, I could have sworn them niggas had already 0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:30.360 knew each other. But you know, Gates was having like 0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:37.640 personal conversations. I knew the niggas each other, Well, what. 0:57:40.120 --> 0:57:42.000 Haven't met his music prior to then? 0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:45.480 And I think the relationship we had with my music, 0:57:45.600 --> 0:57:48.760 and he like wasn't shy about it. Yeah, a lot 0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:51.040 of it at that point to me, was just kind 0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:53.520 of listening or you know, hearing them ound because he 0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:55.720 was explaining like how you got how and when he 0:57:55.800 --> 0:57:57.880 got introduced to my music, which made a lot of. 0:57:57.880 --> 0:57:58.320 Sense to me. 0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:02.000 And I spent a lot of time in Louisiana, so 0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:05.600 like it was, I think I could. 0:58:07.320 --> 0:58:07.880 I think I. 0:58:07.840 --> 0:58:13.640 Understood what's peculiar, and I just say that, yeah, he 0:58:13.720 --> 0:58:15.120 knew exactly what the nigga. 0:58:14.880 --> 0:58:17.640 Saying, and we bonded right away. And it really wasn't 0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:20.080 much different than than me and Truck working together, like 0:58:20.160 --> 0:58:25.760 the work pay. So the work just kind of just 0:58:25.840 --> 0:58:31.560 natural exactly like effort six seven songs in one session. 0:58:32.040 --> 0:58:33.920 It was all like out of here, you know, that 0:58:34.080 --> 0:58:35.920 was all smashes. I think he was on my call 0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:39.680 talk like four times something like that. As much as 0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:41.840 like you know, some people I get there, like the 0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:43.920 first time I heard and was here for sure. I'm 0:58:43.960 --> 0:58:45.760 sure a lot of people may be heard me for 0:58:45.800 --> 0:58:48.160 the first time on this project, and that was the 0:58:48.160 --> 0:58:48.960 same thing I'm saying. 0:58:49.000 --> 0:58:50.200 That's how I feel like it should go. 0:58:51.040 --> 0:58:56.200 Trying because there's a lot of artists trip early on 0:58:56.240 --> 0:58:59.880 with Yo Gotti working working with dogs, and it's like, 0:59:01.400 --> 0:59:05.560 for sure, we try the audience somewhere and it's some overlap. 0:59:05.680 --> 0:59:10.040 And however, whoever you heard first, how have you heard us? 0:59:10.080 --> 0:59:12.480 Like that's what it's all about, Like me working with 0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:14.240 the younger artists, working with a little baby and no 0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:17.680 cap and et cetera, Like I'm getting new fans, new 0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:20.680 audience even tho I'm ten years older than these as artists, 0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:23.520 and it's just I mean, it's just really just a 0:59:23.600 --> 0:59:27.560 solid But I feel like when it's easy and fun 0:59:27.920 --> 0:59:31.080 and and creative and make music with artists, you gotta 0:59:31.240 --> 0:59:34.520 just like you gotta ride that way. 0:59:36.080 --> 0:59:37.800 I want to ask you this question because you both 0:59:37.800 --> 0:59:39.920 are very vulnerable in your music. You get a lot 0:59:39.920 --> 0:59:41.880 of your fan base like feel like they know everything 0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:42.960 about y'all when they meet y'all. 0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:44.520 Like you said, you just make gates and y'all locked 0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:45.439 in because of the music. 0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:47.800 People hear y'all music, they feel like they know y'all 0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:49.000 instantly when they meet y'all. 0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:55.320 Yeah. Yeah, in most cases it get real awkward. Well, 0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:59.200 you know, I appreciate it, I value it. But I 0:59:59.240 --> 1:00:03.360 think sometimes as people get they get so invested in 1:00:03.440 --> 1:00:07.280 it that they forget that you don't know me. So 1:00:08.880 --> 1:00:10.760 even like, you know, if you're listening to my music 1:00:10.800 --> 1:00:13.720 and you listen enough for you to feel like you 1:00:13.840 --> 1:00:17.760 know me, then one of the first things that should 1:00:17.760 --> 1:00:24.000 stick out is that I not I'm not welcoming. I 1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:27.840 guess if that's the word, you know, So what happens, 1:00:28.360 --> 1:00:30.720 you know, we may be moving around people called I 1:00:30.800 --> 1:00:35.480 was in the airport yesterday and women walk past said, hey, Chris, 1:00:39.040 --> 1:00:42.520 I don't even know you, like I love your music, 1:00:42.760 --> 1:00:45.880 like you love enough to think you could call me Chris. 1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:49.320 But that's how you know some people, some people be 1:00:49.400 --> 1:00:53.800 so into it that the line between you know, entertainment 1:00:53.840 --> 1:00:57.800 and reality is is almost invisible. And again, you know, 1:00:57.880 --> 1:01:06.520 I appreciate it, uh respected, But I think I think 1:01:06.560 --> 1:01:12.200 you know, we're aware of it enough and background is 1:01:12.520 --> 1:01:16.720 pretty much the same, so we make sure to keep 1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:22.480 the boundaries, uh present, if that makes sense. So you know, 1:01:22.600 --> 1:01:24.560 you walk up to me and I'm with my kids, 1:01:24.560 --> 1:01:26.880 I get it. You might not know. You know, I 1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:30.600 ain't done trip with my kids, So you know, I'll 1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:34.320 politely tell you. You know, you know this, I ain't ain't 1:01:34.360 --> 1:01:36.960 doing no pictures or none of that. I got my kids, 1:01:37.200 --> 1:01:39.640 and you know, some people get it, more people get 1:01:39.640 --> 1:01:43.040 it now than you previously. But you know, if you 1:01:43.040 --> 1:01:45.520 don't get it, and so you know, I know that 1:01:45.680 --> 1:01:49.680 if this go sideways, I ain't really gonna get I 1:01:49.720 --> 1:01:52.120 ain't gonna interact with it. You know a lot of 1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:54.800 what's the word, I'm trying my best of diffuse even 1:01:54.840 --> 1:01:56.920 if all I'm gonna do is walk away. I was 1:01:56.960 --> 1:02:00.640 in the fucking put putt one time with my whole 1:02:00.680 --> 1:02:05.480 family and uh, a couple asked for a picture and 1:02:05.520 --> 1:02:07.880 I was like, you know, you know this, ain't you know? 1:02:07.920 --> 1:02:09.760 I can't really do that right now with my family. 1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.800 And guy just starts snapping. He was like, man, you 1:02:12.840 --> 1:02:15.400 Hollywood ask niggas a nigga think he this? He think 1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:23.320 you that? And I was like, damn no, see, but 1:02:23.440 --> 1:02:26.959 that's the thing. See earlier I told you I don't 1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.480 play well with us, and. 1:02:30.400 --> 1:02:32.680 You sound like him when he the. 1:02:32.640 --> 1:02:36.240 Way my family, the way we was raised is come one, 1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:40.000 come off, So you don't mind if you four feet 1:02:40.080 --> 1:02:43.000 or nine feet, you're gonna get everybody's feet on your ass. 1:02:43.680 --> 1:02:45.440 So you know, but I got my kids, so I 1:02:45.440 --> 1:02:47.920 got to be a father right now, a role model 1:02:48.040 --> 1:02:50.240 so to speak. She can hit the fan. When it 1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:53.560 hit the fan, you vastly out my entire It was 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:56.720 thirty of us in there, and that's just how we rock. 1:02:56.840 --> 1:03:00.280 So if I, if if any physical altercation would have 1:03:00.320 --> 1:03:03.320 broke out, it would have been the worst case scenario. 1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:07.360 This ship wasn't gonna end lightly. And no, I gotta 1:03:07.400 --> 1:03:10.080 think thirty you know, thirty people stumping you out might 1:03:10.160 --> 1:03:13.680 kill you in him. On top of that, you know, 1:03:13.760 --> 1:03:15.960 what's the effect that have on our kids? He's a 1:03:15.960 --> 1:03:18.560 small you know at that time they were small, but 1:03:18.600 --> 1:03:21.360 he's a small children and you know, there's gonna be 1:03:21.400 --> 1:03:24.280 complete chaos. They the ship they came to putt put 1:03:24.440 --> 1:03:26.480 it be at a fucking I don't know what you 1:03:26.560 --> 1:03:29.120 call it. Was that is that considered an amusement park? 1:03:29.480 --> 1:03:35.800 What it is they can't have They ain't come, you know, 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:39.320 they ain't come to see a brawl. So you know, 1:03:39.360 --> 1:03:42.400 I gotta you know, I gotta be you know, I 1:03:42.520 --> 1:03:45.600 have to, I gotta think think about the you know, 1:03:45.640 --> 1:03:48.400 the consequences of how far it can go. And I 1:03:48.480 --> 1:03:51.480 get it. You love my music so much that you 1:03:51.560 --> 1:03:53.959 blurred the line. You don't get it, So I'm gonna 1:03:54.120 --> 1:03:56.440 excuse you, even though you know, and they're getting louder 1:03:56.480 --> 1:03:59.920 and louder. I'm like, man, And at this point time, 1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:04.760 my brother was alive, and my brother is what was was. 1:04:06.520 --> 1:04:10.640 He was extremely welcome, but it was a facade. He 1:04:10.760 --> 1:04:13.880 was fake welcome. Like you know, yeah, man, were cool. 1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:17.560 They plotting to rob you, like twenty minutes as soon 1:04:17.600 --> 1:04:20.480 as y'all go to whatever the they for the know 1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:23.760 they're on your ass. So even then, I you know, 1:04:24.400 --> 1:04:27.200 I got to diffuse him because again the way my 1:04:27.280 --> 1:04:30.080 family rocked, if he would have set it off, it 1:04:30.080 --> 1:04:31.800 would have been you know, I wouldn't have been able 1:04:31.840 --> 1:04:34.720 to diffuse it after that. Ain't no a man, it's 1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:36.800 a one on one. We don't we don't know what 1:04:36.920 --> 1:04:39.680 those are.

You know, you can't 1:04:51.320 --> 1:04:58.480 speak or don't do the no and don't get up 1:04:58.480 --> 1:05:01.360 said with me because I ain't. You know, I'm standing 1:05:01.400 --> 1:05:03.480 on what I'm standing on and I'm father more them 1:05:03.480 --> 1:05:07.560 and fun because I think you know what happens when 1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:10.200 I turn I take all these fucking pictures with you. 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:12.440 And now I got to go to the front and 1:05:12.600 --> 1:05:15.000 had them call due to fucking all call because I 1:05:15.040 --> 1:05:17.720 can't find one of my goddamn kids. I was taking 1:05:17.720 --> 1:05:23.360 pictures with joy. Now I'm a bad parents. You know 1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:25.160 I had to. You know, I got a picture of 1:05:25.200 --> 1:05:27.760 time and a place for everything, and you know, if 1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:30.960 I'm in target solo I'm with it. You know, I 1:05:31.080 --> 1:05:32.800 take as many pictures as you want. She was just 1:05:32.880 --> 1:05:35.000 at the game. I ain't turn a single picture down 1:05:35.280 --> 1:05:37.840 when we performed, we know, shit, we will to take 1:05:37.840 --> 1:05:40.560 a picture with every person that's in there. If I 1:05:40.600 --> 1:05:43.120 got my kids, we ain't taking not a single picture. 1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:47.320 And I don't I don't agree with the idea of 1:05:47.400 --> 1:05:50.360 my kids being famous until that's you know, until they 1:05:50.400 --> 1:05:53.000 old enough to make the decision for themselves. So I 1:05:53.000 --> 1:05:54.840 ain't for to sit here and let you take pictures 1:05:54.840 --> 1:05:57.160 of me and my family or you know, you got 1:05:57.240 --> 1:05:59.720 videos of me.

And I feel like, 1:06:06.880 --> 1:06:09.280 I think it's a very thin line between that ship 1:06:09.360 --> 1:06:12.280 being cute and that ship being exploited. And I ain't 1:06:12.280 --> 1:06:14.760 trying to get no points off my cute kids. And 1:06:14.800 --> 1:06:18.040 it ain't fucking adorable to me, But dang, what I'm 1:06:18.040 --> 1:06:20.960 in this for? And I feel like I feel like 1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:24.560 in some cases, you know, the more you let people 1:06:24.560 --> 1:06:27.720 blurt the line, no more bleard is gonna get and 1:06:27.840 --> 1:06:30.800 you know, and that shit make my kids extremely uncomfortable, 1:06:30.840 --> 1:06:33.280 and people don't get it I was in came my 1:06:33.400 --> 1:06:36.520 target one day. I have my two oldest kids, and 1:06:37.920 --> 1:06:40.000 you know, I'm naturally with paranoid because we know we're 1:06:40.000 --> 1:06:42.160 come from where we come from. So you know, when 1:06:42.160 --> 1:06:44.040 I come out, I picked this guy standing by this 1:06:44.080 --> 1:06:46.040 truck and keep staring at me. I'm like, man, you 1:06:46.040 --> 1:06:52.040 know I had again paranoid. I've already talked my kids. 1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:54.520 I won't say talking, never been in the scenario. So 1:06:54.520 --> 1:06:57.560 I've already talked talked to them about what to do 1:06:57.600 --> 1:07:00.480 with ship. You know, shit go sideways when we out about, 1:07:00.520 --> 1:07:03.520 and I've explained to them I got enemies I've never 1:07:03.640 --> 1:07:08.520 met because because I'm successful, that's what success brings. So 1:07:09.040 --> 1:07:11.280 you know, when I peeped the dude, I keep walking 1:07:11.480 --> 1:07:13.800 and you know, I'm walking on one side of the 1:07:13.800 --> 1:07:16.320 parking like he on the other side. So I peep 1:07:16.360 --> 1:07:19.760 them crossing, So what's up? And I tell my kids 1:07:19.760 --> 1:07:22.520 to keep going, you know, because if something happened, I 1:07:22.560 --> 1:07:25.520 preferred them to be away from right here. He was like, man, 1:07:26.040 --> 1:07:28.120 I've been circling the park I saw you go in. 1:07:28.200 --> 1:07:31.080 I've been circling the parking lot until you came out. Man, 1:07:31.160 --> 1:07:33.200 fuck with your music so much he was a fan. 1:07:34.080 --> 1:07:35.959 I was like, man, you know how weird that sound? 1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:38.120 You circled the parkam lit. I'm like, in real time, 1:07:38.640 --> 1:07:41.120 I don't know who you are. Like, I appreciate the love, 1:07:41.160 --> 1:07:44.240 I really do. I'm like, man, you know, while I 1:07:44.280 --> 1:07:46.320 was saying that, he looked at my kids, and my 1:07:46.400 --> 1:07:48.880 kids was like this. He was like, damn, man, I 1:07:48.920 --> 1:07:51.880 ain't think about that. You know, I fanned out, and 1:07:52.160 --> 1:07:54.120 you know I ain't peep. I just made your whole 1:07:54.680 --> 1:07:56.240 whole family. But you know, I mean you and your 1:07:56.240 --> 1:08:00.040 family uncomfortable. He was apologizing to them and shit, and 1:08:00.040 --> 1:08:02.920 and when I got in the truck, I asked my kids, 1:08:03.800 --> 1:08:07.360 y'all good. And it was crazy because they, like I said, 1:08:07.360 --> 1:08:10.640 I'm paranoid naturally, and I ain't know that that rubbed 1:08:10.680 --> 1:08:12.760 off on them too. They was like, yeah, Dad, we 1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:15.080 seen him as soon as we walked out. We seen 1:08:15.160 --> 1:08:18.200 him staring at you. So they never stopped paying attention 1:08:18.280 --> 1:08:20.519 to him. And I told them to go to the truck. 1:08:20.560 --> 1:08:25.320 When he stepped over, and when he pointed to my left, 1:08:25.320 --> 1:08:27.360 that's when I realized they only moved like two or 1:08:27.360 --> 1:08:29.240 three cars down. They didn't go all the way to 1:08:29.320 --> 1:08:31.000 the truck. But that's because they trying to make sure 1:08:31.000 --> 1:08:33.439 they see what's going on. But I saw all that. 1:08:33.479 --> 1:08:36.960 You say, you know, if you running to me and 1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:57.320 with my kids, you know, tone it down, you look good. 1:08:57.640 --> 1:09:06.559 You know, sometimes it should just go too. 1:09:06.439 --> 1:09:07.000 Far, man. 1:09:07.520 --> 1:09:08.720 And what's that feeling like? 1:09:08.800 --> 1:09:12.000 Man? When people wrap y'all, y'all, y'all, perform y'all something. 1:09:12.040 --> 1:09:14.719 But you can see the crowd wrapping every word for word, 1:09:15.240 --> 1:09:17.800 Like I play basketball, so you know, you see people 1:09:17.840 --> 1:09:20.640 fan out, they cheerful, you like your stuff, they have 1:09:20.720 --> 1:09:23.760 your jersey on or whatever. But somebody wrapping something you 1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:26.840 wrote word for word, bar for bory. What's that like? 1:09:32.040 --> 1:09:35.280 It's it's a real and it's it's still as surreal 1:09:35.320 --> 1:09:36.599 as the first time. 1:09:38.200 --> 1:09:41.320 It would probably why I could imagine it would be 1:09:42.280 --> 1:09:47.120 it would feel the same way it would feel when 1:09:47.160 --> 1:09:50.240 you when you leaving the game or any time in 1:09:50.280 --> 1:09:54.920 life when somebody got like a basketball called to you. 1:09:55.040 --> 1:09:59.640 Nah, that's different though, because people buy basketball cars or 1:09:59.640 --> 1:10:00.599 sell them. Yeah. 1:10:00.680 --> 1:10:03.000 I don't about that part. 1:10:03.600 --> 1:10:04.800 I can't. I can't see me. 1:10:07.760 --> 1:10:11.240 I think that ship is you for it, you know, 1:10:12.720 --> 1:10:15.080 I don't know, it's I don't know a better way 1:10:15.160 --> 1:10:19.600 to explain it. I think I think that ship, you know, 1:10:19.960 --> 1:10:22.519 it's a special feeling. Yeah, I ain't. 1:10:23.320 --> 1:10:27.240 I ain't never like imagine like none of this for myself. 1:10:27.439 --> 1:10:30.200 Like you said he was listening to the street Ball 1:10:30.360 --> 1:10:34.639 song like I was. I woner who said that should 1:10:34.640 --> 1:10:38.080 have sided want to wrap just on some cool ship 1:10:38.280 --> 1:10:41.160 or or you know, trying to make some money, trying 1:10:41.160 --> 1:10:41.599 to get the. 1:10:41.560 --> 1:10:43.360 Girls, whatever it was at that time. 1:10:43.560 --> 1:10:48.559 Like, I ain't never like expect or you know, look 1:10:48.640 --> 1:10:52.240 at it as being like embraced, well received. Like I 1:10:52.320 --> 1:10:55.680 remember the first time somebody I didn't know telling me 1:10:55.760 --> 1:10:58.080 I was cold, you know what I'm saying, and that 1:10:58.080 --> 1:11:00.479 that meant so much more just truthfully, and like my 1:11:00.720 --> 1:11:02.840 friends and peers people that I was only they could 1:11:02.920 --> 1:11:05.840 just say that it because I'm like, I'm on the 1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:09.280 other side of town and these these dudes don't know me, 1:11:09.479 --> 1:11:11.400 or I'm you know, I'm up at TSU in a 1:11:11.560 --> 1:11:14.960 parking lot like and a cipher just wrapping a cappella, 1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.640 and people like or the next day, people. 1:11:17.479 --> 1:11:18.720 Like, man wrap some of us. 1:11:18.880 --> 1:11:21.760 I'm telling my homeboy about you, and it's like, you know, 1:11:21.920 --> 1:11:23.960 so the level up from there to like you said 1:11:24.040 --> 1:11:26.880 something that I wrote down something I put together composed, 1:11:26.960 --> 1:11:31.360 and I'm four or five hours working home, or I'm 1:11:31.520 --> 1:11:33.760 ten hours work from home, or we're on the tour 1:11:33.840 --> 1:11:36.400 and it's like night or night or just just period 1:11:36.439 --> 1:11:39.760 even like the new music just being received, but like 1:11:39.840 --> 1:11:43.120 you said, seeing people really rocking out to it and 1:11:43.160 --> 1:11:44.599 it's like like it's day song. 1:11:45.120 --> 1:11:48.439 Yeah, like damn like cause, I mean, it's a special feeling. 1:11:49.479 --> 1:11:53.679 I always wanted to ask this question, especially for y'all, where. 1:11:53.479 --> 1:11:55.040 Do you get more joy in making the music or 1:11:55.040 --> 1:11:56.760 actually getting able to perform and to share with. 1:11:56.720 --> 1:12:01.000 People, Like it's like even for me is like fifty 1:12:01.040 --> 1:12:04.880 to fifty. I think making the music sometimes I was 1:12:04.960 --> 1:12:09.080 like therapy. And then to the last question, when it's 1:12:09.400 --> 1:12:12.439 received well and it's appreciated, like it's a whole another 1:12:12.520 --> 1:12:15.760 high to share it or like yeah, we might have 1:12:15.840 --> 1:12:18.840 made music a month or two prior or over the 1:12:18.880 --> 1:12:21.160 course of time, but like at the time I'm putting 1:12:21.200 --> 1:12:23.840 it out, I'm almost like enjoying it all over again 1:12:24.120 --> 1:12:26.719 the other people listening to it in real time. 1:12:26.840 --> 1:12:30.400 But that that feedback, that reception, Like. 1:12:32.400 --> 1:12:35.960 The last question that kind of skipped over of how 1:12:35.960 --> 1:12:39.360 do you balance like giving so much personally to people 1:12:39.360 --> 1:12:42.400 feel like they know you. That's the give and type 1:12:42.439 --> 1:12:45.559 of that. It was like for me, my music is 1:12:46.760 --> 1:12:50.200 my personality. My music is like I'm this is all 1:12:50.280 --> 1:12:52.920 I know how to be. You know, once I tapped 1:12:52.920 --> 1:12:54.640 into that, once I got out of like trying to 1:12:54.640 --> 1:12:57.840 work within the system, like I just went with I 1:12:57.920 --> 1:13:00.839 don't be the best me and be the best for myself. 1:13:00.880 --> 1:13:03.920 So people taking it that, it's like I don't really 1:13:03.960 --> 1:13:04.720 get no better than that. 1:13:04.760 --> 1:13:07.240 I don't have to put none on that the good, bad, happy, 1:13:07.280 --> 1:13:11.240 say in between. Because the crazy part is people tend 1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:14.320 to like gravitate toward the darkest. 1:13:14.080 --> 1:13:15.000 The most extreme. 1:13:15.160 --> 1:13:18.320 So you know what I'm saying, I made music that 1:13:18.720 --> 1:13:20.799 for me, I might have been crying on it inside 1:13:21.000 --> 1:13:24.719 making it, but somebody else like, man, this changed my life, 1:13:24.760 --> 1:13:27.120 this got me through this, or like it was right 1:13:27.200 --> 1:13:28.080 with my life right there. 1:13:28.439 --> 1:13:31.000 Damn I was right in my life. But the fact 1:13:31.040 --> 1:13:33.679 that they had that effect on you, like it keep 1:13:33.720 --> 1:13:35.120 me doing it. You know what I'm saying. Let me 1:13:35.160 --> 1:13:36.519 know I ain't doing it for nothing. 1:13:37.280 --> 1:13:40.439 I said, it's saying I think I think the joy 1:13:40.520 --> 1:13:45.160 come from I don't get joy out of creating the music. 1:13:45.280 --> 1:13:48.640 But like you said, creating it is the therapy for me. 1:13:50.960 --> 1:13:57.040 Creating the songs keep me from from the creating the song, 1:13:57.160 --> 1:13:59.280 keep me from doing other ship. I just say that. 1:14:00.760 --> 1:14:03.479 I think the you know, the creating process is more 1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:08.000 like the release. And then you know, the joy comes 1:14:08.000 --> 1:14:12.000 from another person being able to relate to something they 1:14:12.120 --> 1:14:14.960 wasn't president for if that makes sense, you know, to 1:14:15.200 --> 1:14:17.040 meet me and say you went through so and so, 1:14:17.040 --> 1:14:19.640 so and so, because when I'm making the record, I 1:14:19.640 --> 1:14:21.439 ain't thinking about what you're going through, Like you said, 1:14:21.439 --> 1:14:24.320 I'm thinking about what I'm going through, and I think 1:14:24.360 --> 1:14:26.400 that's refreshing for all people to know you ain't the 1:14:26.400 --> 1:14:30.559 only one in that certain battle, whatever that battle is. 1:14:31.400 --> 1:14:34.080 So you know, I think for the most part, the 1:14:34.200 --> 1:14:38.639 joy come from, you know, receipting from from meeting people 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:39.920 that received the music. 1:14:40.760 --> 1:14:43.160 Even when you said, like the wrestling stuff or like 1:14:43.240 --> 1:14:46.879 generational stuff, like a lot of music is a time capsule. 1:14:47.240 --> 1:14:50.800 So it's just speaking from this the era. This is 1:14:50.800 --> 1:14:53.559 a generation we grew up in. Like it's music that's 1:14:53.560 --> 1:14:55.920 made today that I just don't get. I don't understand 1:14:55.960 --> 1:14:56.280 because I. 1:14:58.600 --> 1:15:00.960 Grow up like you know, saying you'll not be trying 1:15:01.000 --> 1:15:02.840 to put us off you're trying to put us on 1:15:02.920 --> 1:15:03.320 every day. 1:15:03.360 --> 1:15:04.720 I just can't get with it about them. 1:15:05.120 --> 1:15:08.879 But like it's still to say, it's still somebody speaking 1:15:08.960 --> 1:15:12.160 for us or speaking the language that we understand, because 1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:14.880 a lot of my favorite artists that I came up 1:15:14.920 --> 1:15:17.400 on don't do it for me anymore.

And even with music, like if 1:18:15.920 --> 1:18:18.280 I'm sure somebody's going to go and do it, if 1:18:18.280 --> 1:18:21.640 you said and counted all the records we've done in between. 1:18:21.640 --> 1:18:27.120 Don't worry about He just asks this this morning. He 1:18:27.320 --> 1:18:29.559 was like, besides, step brother, know how many songs you 1:18:29.560 --> 1:18:31.760 think they actually on each other's album all the time. 1:18:34.520 --> 1:18:36.920 You couldn't count. Okay, but you get what I'm saying 1:18:37.280 --> 1:18:42.800 that our relationship was never contingent on us being the group. 1:18:43.000 --> 1:18:45.519 When we met, we was two solo artists. So we 1:18:45.680 --> 1:18:49.360 just worked so well with each other that we never 1:18:49.439 --> 1:18:53.880 really it don't feel like work. So at some point 1:18:54.720 --> 1:18:57.120 he good with timeline. I don't know how long it's been. 1:18:57.840 --> 1:19:01.599 So at some point, you know, people keep asking about 1:19:01.600 --> 1:19:05.080 step brother's foe, step brother's foe, and I was like, 1:19:05.200 --> 1:19:07.479 you know, ship, we'll get to it when we get 1:19:07.520 --> 1:19:09.840 to it. And somebody, so I think it might have 1:19:09.880 --> 1:19:11.519 been him. How long it's been. 1:19:11.880 --> 1:19:17.439 For years and years and eleven. 1:19:17.280 --> 1:19:20.479 When he did that ship, I was like, oh, that 1:19:20.560 --> 1:19:26.240 makes sense. Then people assume no step brothers folks. Yeah, 1:19:26.280 --> 1:19:27.559 but it's just been life. 1:19:27.840 --> 1:19:30.840 Yeah, and that's I mean, the iron all the album 1:19:30.840 --> 1:19:34.960 being called step Brothers for Life, is we really you know, 1:19:35.160 --> 1:19:38.280 really thugging it out, We really living this and it's 1:19:38.520 --> 1:19:42.640 our music is transparent. Our music is full disclosure if 1:19:42.640 --> 1:19:45.280 you will. But like you just said, every step of 1:19:45.320 --> 1:19:48.920 the way we've been and when we've been at birthday parties, 1:19:49.320 --> 1:19:53.479 funerals for his work, like like every highs and lows, 1:19:54.120 --> 1:19:57.960 and we actually truthfully like on the ground that much 1:19:58.000 --> 1:20:00.679 closer in the time between Step Brothers three and now. 1:20:01.120 --> 1:20:03.559 So I don't I don't think it's felt like eight 1:20:03.640 --> 1:20:06.280 years for us because it was going through everything every 1:20:06.320 --> 1:20:08.920 step of the way to get here. But I also 1:20:09.040 --> 1:20:12.240 think it's like perfect time in divine time. And the 1:20:12.320 --> 1:20:15.360 original plan we dropped three was to drop again that. 1:20:15.479 --> 1:20:17.599 Year, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, he said it, 1:20:17.680 --> 1:20:21.040 and people never let us forget it. 1:20:22.640 --> 1:20:26.320 Like life happened. Yeah, you know, just I mean we 1:20:26.439 --> 1:20:27.519 got to r. 1:20:29.360 --> 1:20:30.960 Real tricky a way. 1:20:31.240 --> 1:20:31.439 You know. 1:20:31.640 --> 1:20:36.679 I think I think right now we're in the space 1:20:37.120 --> 1:20:42.840 or in a in a accessible enough space for us 1:20:42.840 --> 1:20:45.240 to sit down and like I said earlier, we do 1:20:45.360 --> 1:20:49.439 all the Step Brothers records in person, email and that ship. 1:20:49.760 --> 1:20:53.160 Yeah, we never sent a song over for nothing. 1:20:53.160 --> 1:20:57.559 That's every step Brother's tape was recorded in person. And 1:20:58.600 --> 1:20:59.439 how long those take? 1:21:00.080 --> 1:21:03.000 How long does it take? Yeah, like the process if 1:21:03.000 --> 1:21:05.840 you had the first one we did in three sessions. 1:21:06.360 --> 1:21:11.040 Damn. The second one, I don't know, it wasn't that. 1:21:11.479 --> 1:21:11.959 Yeah. 1:21:11.760 --> 1:21:14.800 The second one we started around the time of that 1:21:15.000 --> 1:21:19.320 session with Kevin Gates, which was like early twenty thirteen, 1:21:19.640 --> 1:21:24.280 and we finished it like early summer by the time. 1:21:25.160 --> 1:21:27.559 Is that the one we did the mixtape for two. 1:21:27.520 --> 1:21:31.639 Nah, that was three, but it was it wasn't three sessions. 1:21:31.680 --> 1:21:34.599 It wasn't quite as fast as the first one, but 1:21:35.320 --> 1:21:37.600 we just would link out of town and it was 1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:40.080 going to Atlanta a lot and just getting in the 1:21:40.200 --> 1:21:41.519 last it wasn't many sessions. 1:21:42.200 --> 1:21:45.719 And the last one same thing. We just get together. 1:21:45.720 --> 1:21:49.080 We did like an ep a short mix tape and 1:21:49.200 --> 1:21:51.280 the album at the same time. And that was over 1:21:51.320 --> 1:21:53.560 the course of like really the majority of it in 1:21:53.560 --> 1:21:57.519 about two months two months time, maybe five or six sessions. 1:21:57.600 --> 1:22:02.040 And with this one, we we've gotten with maybe four 1:22:02.120 --> 1:22:06.200 or five sessions and got the majority of it together 1:22:06.760 --> 1:22:09.479 just I mean, even our last session we did four 1:22:09.560 --> 1:22:14.160 songs in one session, just not even. 1:22:14.000 --> 1:22:16.040 Really thinking about it. But in that time between, like 1:22:16.080 --> 1:22:18.880 we had sessions where we ain't even probably play no beats. 1:22:18.880 --> 1:22:21.360 We just sat in there chopping it like this, look 1:22:21.439 --> 1:22:24.040 up and everybody tired, and we're just going our way 1:22:24.080 --> 1:22:28.960 because it just might be necessary as homeboys just to talk, 1:22:29.320 --> 1:22:31.160 you know what I'm saying, and them conversations that won't 1:22:31.160 --> 1:22:32.439 make the best records anyway. 1:22:33.040 --> 1:22:36.559 Yeah, it turns it into the art, But we don't 1:22:36.640 --> 1:22:40.360 really like you know, like I said, you know, that's 1:22:40.400 --> 1:22:44.960 my brother. So we on no schedule, so to speak. 1:22:45.520 --> 1:22:47.439 So when we when we do go win of course, 1:22:47.439 --> 1:22:50.479 you know, when we booking time, we keep that in 1:22:50.560 --> 1:22:54.280 mind that you know, we got paid into whatever, but 1:22:54.360 --> 1:22:55.960 we don't really you know, I don't know. It don't 1:22:55.960 --> 1:22:58.479 feel like work, so I don't much keep up with. 1:22:58.520 --> 1:23:01.720 It just happens how we have and we don't do 1:23:01.840 --> 1:23:05.000 the you know, like when you're sitting saying, man, we 1:23:05.080 --> 1:23:07.760 got to come up with a fucking single or catch 1:23:07.800 --> 1:23:09.600 it this or whatever. The fuck. We ain't in no 1:23:09.640 --> 1:23:12.080 none of that. We go and whatever happens when we 1:23:12.080 --> 1:23:14.240 were in there, and it happens, and that's what we 1:23:14.320 --> 1:23:17.720 go with, and so far, that's what our careers have 1:23:17.840 --> 1:23:20.919 been based off you know, us individually and as a tandem. 1:23:20.920 --> 1:23:23.920 It's this has worked because we've been who we really are. 1:23:24.400 --> 1:23:26.519 And you know, it don't make no sense to try 1:23:26.600 --> 1:23:27.360 reading at the wheel. 1:23:27.400 --> 1:23:30.800 Now. I'm just trying to think, like y'all don't I 1:23:30.960 --> 1:23:34.320 never hear y'all recycle shit, But y'all dropped so much music, 1:23:35.080 --> 1:23:37.960 Like I ain't gonna lie probably to recycled so much 1:23:37.960 --> 1:23:38.840 shit and I. 1:23:38.760 --> 1:23:43.280 Can't remember all this shit. Yeah, you drop thirty six. 1:23:43.120 --> 1:23:47.479 Albums, Yeah, that's why you do that. Like what what 1:23:47.520 --> 1:23:49.519 made you just get in the studio? Like, man, I'm 1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:52.080 dropping twenty five albums in two years. 1:23:52.360 --> 1:23:58.040 Man, we let people believe that me and him made 1:23:58.080 --> 1:24:01.679 some kind of bet, but real time because he dropped 1:24:02.360 --> 1:24:08.920 two times. I said, just dropped. I sat in it 1:24:09.080 --> 1:24:13.200 and I was in the studio where one of my 1:24:14.120 --> 1:24:18.000 rap friends he paid passed away U long lived Casino Jiggle. 1:24:18.560 --> 1:24:20.599 But while I was in the studio, I was working 1:24:20.680 --> 1:24:22.800 on the record. I was working on the record. Well, 1:24:22.960 --> 1:24:25.639 I was doing a verse for him, and he was like, man, 1:24:25.640 --> 1:24:29.600 when you're gonna drop something else? I was like, you know, 1:24:29.640 --> 1:24:31.200 I just dropped him. He was like, it's been about 1:24:31.240 --> 1:24:33.599 two years and said what and you know, we said, 1:24:33.640 --> 1:24:37.040 we do the go through my timeline, and this was 1:24:37.120 --> 1:24:43.400 like maybe twenty twenty one, and maybe either way, you know, 1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:46.320 I looked at my last release and him like, damn, 1:24:46.320 --> 1:24:48.880 you know it has been a minute, and I had 1:24:48.920 --> 1:24:52.840 no excuse for why I hadn't released. So actually that 1:24:52.840 --> 1:24:54.800 that kind of spawned the idea of mind, I'm gonna 1:24:54.800 --> 1:24:56.439 put a tape out, And every time I said I'm 1:24:56.439 --> 1:24:58.600 put the tape out, I didn't put a tape out. 1:24:58.920 --> 1:25:01.519 And are you to overthink it? You know, I sit 1:25:01.640 --> 1:25:05.000 and do fucking forty songs and then pick fifteen songs 1:25:05.400 --> 1:25:07.800 and then everything else just sit on the hard drive. 1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:11.439 So at some point I don't really know what it was, 1:25:11.560 --> 1:25:13.880 but I sat and I'm looking at all these fucking 1:25:13.920 --> 1:25:16.960 songs on this hard drive. It's just there. Nobody's ever 1:25:17.040 --> 1:25:19.479 heard any of it, and I said, man, fuck it, 1:25:19.520 --> 1:25:21.920 I'm gonna put this shit out. Then I thought about 1:25:21.960 --> 1:25:24.759 it again. I said, no, fuck it, I'm just gonna 1:25:24.920 --> 1:25:27.840 put everything. Y'all that shit's still on the hard drive. 1:25:28.160 --> 1:25:30.559 I'm like, you know, fuck this, I'm gonna put every 1:25:30.640 --> 1:25:33.960 From from that moment forward, I said, every record I 1:25:34.080 --> 1:25:37.040 record I'm gonna release. They don't much make sense to 1:25:37.040 --> 1:25:40.120 hold on to it. I ain't I don't have to 1:25:40.200 --> 1:25:43.000 answer to nobody, so don't much make any sense. And 1:25:43.080 --> 1:25:46.320 then I'm in my own studio, so I ain't even 1:25:46.400 --> 1:25:48.920 on no clock. So I said, fuck it, I'm gonna 1:25:48.920 --> 1:25:52.840 put out everything, and uh, well, the first one, the 1:25:52.840 --> 1:25:56.320 first tape is eight records. So I told myself I 1:25:56.360 --> 1:25:58.960 wouldn't ever put something out that's less than eight records. 1:25:58.960 --> 1:26:01.320 I feel like people do it all the time, and 1:26:01.800 --> 1:26:05.920 each his own. I felt like that wouldn't be I 1:26:05.920 --> 1:26:09.439 felt like I'd be doing my audience at disservice to 1:26:09.520 --> 1:26:13.320 give you less than eight records. So I had no 1:26:13.439 --> 1:26:17.759 goal you. The end of that month, I called is Distributed. 1:26:17.800 --> 1:26:19.640 I'm like, you know, hey, I got eight records. I 1:26:19.680 --> 1:26:22.439 want to put this tape out, so let's do it. 1:26:22.560 --> 1:26:25.080 I did that. I said, you know, do the same 1:26:25.120 --> 1:26:29.080 thing and ship. After about four or five of them, 1:26:29.120 --> 1:26:30.880 I say, you know, I think I can do whole 1:26:30.920 --> 1:26:34.000 gear work for this ship. They said, yeah, sure, you know. 1:26:34.880 --> 1:26:38.320 They've heard it all from everybody, So even a distribution 1:26:38.479 --> 1:26:42.080 company didn't know why I was dead ass serious. So 1:26:42.200 --> 1:26:44.720 when I did them twelve really on the eleventh one. 1:26:44.840 --> 1:26:48.599 On the eleventh one, I don't pay attention to the numbers. 1:26:49.280 --> 1:26:51.400 So you know, they calling me and they telling me 1:26:51.479 --> 1:26:56.120 how successful the ship was. I said, oh, I can 1:26:56.240 --> 1:27:01.519 do this with twelve moments. Man. When I started, when 1:27:01.520 --> 1:27:05.160 I started on that second twelve Oh man, I was 1:27:05.160 --> 1:27:08.400 so exhausted. When I got to fucking twenty fourth tape, 1:27:08.920 --> 1:27:12.680 I said, it could the way I my process is 1:27:12.680 --> 1:27:14.879 different now. I used to be one of those artists 1:27:14.880 --> 1:27:17.559 always in the studio every day. I record a record 1:27:17.600 --> 1:27:21.760 every day. Now, throughout the whole twenty four tapes I 1:27:21.880 --> 1:27:25.360 probably recorded, I probably was in the studio for three 1:27:25.439 --> 1:27:28.639 days out of every one of those months now, And 1:27:29.000 --> 1:27:31.679 I mean, Craig can tell you we I don't remember 1:27:31.680 --> 1:27:34.120 what tape it was that I was in New York 1:27:34.200 --> 1:27:37.519 doing the press run and man, him was on the phone, 1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:39.360 was on the phone for a while. We was on 1:27:39.400 --> 1:27:42.280 the phone, and I want to say, called me about 1:27:42.280 --> 1:27:47.360 a particular song that he was working on. And throughout 1:27:47.360 --> 1:27:51.480 the conversation, you know, it really was this particular conversation, 1:27:51.560 --> 1:27:54.479 I was more an ear than a voice. I'm just 1:27:54.560 --> 1:27:58.760 listening to him, I'm hearing him out. So at the 1:27:58.880 --> 1:28:02.680 end of the conversation, I think I was like, you know, 1:28:02.720 --> 1:28:04.720 I got to call our engineer because I can't get 1:28:04.720 --> 1:28:06.200 this ship to work like it was to work, like 1:28:06.200 --> 1:28:09.120 you know, trying to record here in the hotel, and 1:28:09.160 --> 1:28:10.559 I can't get this ship to work. 1:28:10.640 --> 1:28:10.800 Right. 1:28:10.880 --> 1:28:15.080 He said, okay, you know, and he's fully aware of 1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:18.760 the time frame you have to release music. And it 1:28:18.840 --> 1:28:21.640 might have been like a Sunday or Monday. We on 1:28:21.680 --> 1:28:24.559 the phone and he was like, okay. When you dropping 1:28:24.600 --> 1:28:27.680 him like Friday, You're like, okay, okay, shit, hapn't you 1:28:27.800 --> 1:28:31.040 got not a single fucking song. I don't have anything. 1:28:31.360 --> 1:28:33.479 And she's got to be turned in like Tuesday or 1:28:33.520 --> 1:28:36.840 Wednesday for the shit to really be released. And Craig 1:28:37.000 --> 1:28:40.479 was like, man, how the fuck you got nothing? I 1:28:40.680 --> 1:28:45.360 got ship, And you know, by Wednesday I had leased 1:28:45.520 --> 1:28:47.479 fourteen or twelve songs at least. I don't know how 1:28:47.520 --> 1:28:49.840 many it went on that tape. I had the whole tape. 1:28:49.920 --> 1:28:53.760 I don't know, man, Just time's twenty four like he 1:28:53.800 --> 1:28:54.920 did this twenty four time. 1:28:55.160 --> 1:28:59.160 Yeah, like, hell, bro, I have no idea, man, I really, like, 1:28:59.200 --> 1:29:02.320 I said a second, just let whatever happens happens. If 1:29:02.360 --> 1:29:04.840 you go to each one of those. Every song is 1:29:04.880 --> 1:29:08.120 probably three hundred some songs.

That's 1:29:17.360 --> 1:29:19.360 what I say. That's what I'm saying. With it be 1:29:19.400 --> 1:29:21.719 in my real life. I don't have to worry about 1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:23.320 saying something I can't stand on. 1:29:23.680 --> 1:29:27.519 That's that's amazing to me, Like how y'all can think 1:29:27.560 --> 1:29:29.760 of this ship like I don't. 1:29:29.960 --> 1:29:31.559 I can shout out to y'all man. 1:29:33.520 --> 1:29:37.320 Everybody process is different. And when he was going through that, 1:29:37.680 --> 1:29:39.479 like at some point he said he was gonna do 1:29:39.520 --> 1:29:42.840 it for a year, maybe halfway through or through the 1:29:42.840 --> 1:29:46.280 first year. So I hadn't dropped in like three years. 1:29:46.320 --> 1:29:50.479 Just I was kind of like fuck and seeing him 1:29:50.520 --> 1:29:52.880 go through that and conversation was happening because I was, 1:29:52.960 --> 1:29:55.240 you know, I was on about half of those projects. 1:29:55.600 --> 1:29:57.680 I kind of worked my way out of out of 1:29:57.720 --> 1:30:00.360 that rug or that space, and I did I Love 1:30:00.439 --> 1:30:03.160 Drug album, And it was kind of like at that time, 1:30:03.200 --> 1:30:05.280 like all right, I'm gonna drop. In December, he had 1:30:05.320 --> 1:30:08.600 dropped eleven projects already I thought he was about to 1:30:08.600 --> 1:30:11.719 turn the corner and do step Brothers after that, because 1:30:11.720 --> 1:30:13.599 he's gonna do the twelve. 1:30:15.040 --> 1:30:17.160 Yeah, I'm trying to get right and kind of like 1:30:17.560 --> 1:30:20.640 I got when he did the twelve one and I'm like, 1:30:20.720 --> 1:30:22.320 all right, what's good? Bro? 1:30:22.400 --> 1:30:24.880 He was like, I'm about to drop this January. I'm like, 1:30:25.680 --> 1:30:26.639 you just did twelve. 1:30:26.640 --> 1:30:27.960 He's like, do it again. 1:30:29.200 --> 1:30:33.759 You know, look what happened when I did the twelve. 1:30:35.439 --> 1:30:37.960 People people would cut you know, some people are gonna 1:30:37.960 --> 1:30:40.200 give you credit, and a lot of people liked to 1:30:40.200 --> 1:30:43.960 give back hand compliments. So one person to say, man, 1:30:43.960 --> 1:30:46.800 it's amazing he did twelve records in the year. And 1:30:46.840 --> 1:30:50.880 then somebody pop up and say, Poos did it first. 1:30:51.120 --> 1:30:55.599 Then somebody said Currency did it first. I'm like, man, 1:30:55.680 --> 1:30:57.120 I don't know if they did it or not, but 1:30:57.439 --> 1:31:00.000 that ain't the point. That's like saying, man about it 1:31:00.080 --> 1:31:03.400 house and shit. Yeah, but my brother bought one before 1:31:03.439 --> 1:31:07.720 you that matter. And I never respond to it because 1:31:07.760 --> 1:31:09.760 I know how quick get and get twisted, and you know, 1:31:10.680 --> 1:31:15.519 my response could couldn't make Currency turn around and read it, 1:31:15.560 --> 1:31:18.559 and you know, because naturally you'd be like fuck him. 1:31:18.880 --> 1:31:20.519 It's I got nothing to do with him. But it's 1:31:20.520 --> 1:31:22.519 easy for that to be misconstrued. And that's the last 1:31:22.560 --> 1:31:25.280 thing I want is for somebody to be able to 1:31:25.280 --> 1:31:27.400 take something I said and turn it into something. I 1:31:27.479 --> 1:31:30.639 pride myself on what I say, so when I start 1:31:30.720 --> 1:31:33.400 seeing it, I said, all right, okay, edy time somebody 1:31:33.400 --> 1:31:37.519 mentioned fucking twelve, y'all got somebody else did it? Showed 1:31:37.520 --> 1:31:41.519 me somebody done twenty four. Now toil you show me 1:31:41.560 --> 1:31:44.040 somebody that done twenty four. I don't respect your coming 1:31:44.280 --> 1:31:47.519 by somebody else did it before I did it. I 1:31:47.560 --> 1:31:49.280 had to. It was I had I had a point 1:31:49.280 --> 1:31:54.000 to prove to you for a whole year. 1:31:54.080 --> 1:31:55.799 Yeah, it was so much music. 1:31:55.960 --> 1:31:57.000 Like me and Mike. 1:31:57.120 --> 1:31:59.080 Like I told you we'd be sharing the music. He'd 1:31:59.080 --> 1:32:01.639 be like, you heard a trip out. I'm like, damn, nigga, 1:32:01.640 --> 1:32:05.360 I just played it.

When I 1:32:11.840 --> 1:32:12.559 still call. 1:32:12.560 --> 1:32:16.800 Over, I was about to say, I think that's the 1:32:16.800 --> 1:32:19.360 beauty of it. I ain't put all the music out, 1:32:19.880 --> 1:32:22.120 but I mean it happened. There are people who like 1:32:22.280 --> 1:32:26.400 listen to every record when it dropped, and I appreciate 1:32:26.479 --> 1:32:31.080 that well. I also value the person who you know, 1:32:31.160 --> 1:32:34.040 out of twenty four tapes, they didn't make it past thirteen. 1:32:35.040 --> 1:32:38.479 That thirteen tape, they was living in that space, and 1:32:38.520 --> 1:32:40.799 that's that tape speak to him. I had. It happens 1:32:40.840 --> 1:32:44.600 all the time where people reach out and tell me 1:32:44.600 --> 1:32:47.960 about old records. They just not hearing this record, like, man, 1:32:48.080 --> 1:32:50.360 what you said on so and so so and so record? Man, 1:32:50.560 --> 1:32:53.400 it spoke to me.

Man, 1:32:57.760 --> 1:33:00.439 I fuck with it, and I kind of look at 1:33:00.479 --> 1:33:03.479 that ship like Netflix series and shiit like, you know, 1:33:03.960 --> 1:33:07.320 you might not be hip to the film or the show. 1:33:07.360 --> 1:33:11.400 They came out four years ago. Younounced enough of it 1:33:11.479 --> 1:33:14.280 for you to binge if you want to binge if 1:33:14.320 --> 1:33:16.640 you know some of us only like what we like, 1:33:16.800 --> 1:33:19.120 like if shit. I got a playlist right now. It's 1:33:19.160 --> 1:33:21.880 all R and B and it's probably field.
