We are celebrating you just because you have this project
coming out, and when I tell you, I'm such a
fan of four Bats, like listening to not just because
we got a little sneak peak of the new project
I did, but even flashing back to like I'm gonna
tell you one of my favorites is when I Sure
got on the remix.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Shout out us when I'm talking. When he got on
that thing, brouh, it made me want to just cloud
edit another verse. I wasn't even ad, but he just
went crazy. Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
And I love R and B.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
That's raw like that talks about stuff in a way
that is like dang, Like you know, when you can
sing some nasty shit, it just sounds so good.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, And we need to continuously bring that back. I
feel like we in a toxic world of just world.
We don't care about girls and stuff like that. We
need to bring the bedroom music back. We need to
bring the love music back, the whole line period.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And you're a lover guy, too, and I ain't afraid.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
To say it.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
When you first came out, I thought you were going
to be like very kind of like, you know, I
think it was the mask.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It felt like you didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It was a lot though, because like you got to understand, right,
I dropped the song, and once I dropped the song,
everybody in the world is telling me he can't be
from Dallas. On top of day, you can't be able
to hit that note. On top of that, you can't
be able to make that song you play that, So
it's like, okay, I don't even know what the do.
And then it was like, oh, yeah, he got a major,
(01:41):
we got what he said he got like a he
signed a deal that was independent the whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Right because they were then it was like a EP deal,
one project deal.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It was business, just creating rumors. And then the crazy
part about those roomors people. Of course that's and I
realized that's the limit.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's why they believe anything happen.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
But you know, it is the in though. You can't lie,
like the internet is like I feel like he's made
up in romans accusings and it'd be like twenty percent
sometimes real.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But you know what I think it was before it
back when your song came out, you know, it was
day to eight eight.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, that song was huge.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Really fast, and so it is kind of like where
did this come from?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That's why I don't blame people. Yeah, I just that's all.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Even though he was a guy at first, I'm gonna
be honest. When I first I'm just being honest. When
I first heard it, I was like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I thought it was like, like, there's loah. Yeah I did.
I did.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Definitely inspired by the way if y'all can hear, like yeah,
shout out days.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
But then when I started listening to more of your
music after that, I was like, this is a whole
entire you know, but for people, if they don't see
the grind of like Okay, he put out this song,
he had this, he had this. People don't see that
this see that and then drink jumped on it and afterwards,
but it was already happened, like a.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Lot of people don't know. I've been making music since
third grade. I've been making music in third grade. I
was the kid in school that was, you know, beating
on the on the table, trying to wrap and stuff. Actually,
how I got my first mic. I was in Elternal School.
I never forget. Uh my teacher was named mister Andre,
mister Andre, something like that. I forgot. Well, miss Andre,
(03:24):
I'm rapping and he's like, yo, if you keep wrapping,
we're gonna have to just kick you out. But but
but I'm we're gonna, were gonna, We're gonna do some
type of deal if you if you, if you pass
this test, you get like be minus, I'm gonna buy
(03:44):
your mic. Wow, what if I tell you that same
mic that he bought me?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I still got it?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
No, No, I mean they on.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
From third grade?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, no, no, no, no, no, this was no. I started
making music and third grade school, so it was probably like,
why were you.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
An alternati school? It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I had a conversation with a chance to her recently
about how kids can be very gifted but they learn
in such a different way. But also sometimes you can
be disruptive in the classroom and they don't know what
to do with you.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
What made you be in all?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I wasn't turning school for a lot of stuff. I
was in turning to school. They put me into some
like there was some gang stuff, and then they put
me in for fighting. I was fighting a lot in
high school, okay, and I was just mad at the world.
I was one of those kids. I just was just
mad just because yeah, yeah, you know when you when
you're when your house is not stable, you're not stable
(04:38):
as a kid. You know what I'm saying, You're not
stable mentally. And me going to school, I'm not trying
to do no work. You know, I'm not looking at
no paper. I'm not I'm skipping school. We're finel smoke,
We're not kids. Do not do that, by the way,
it's not the thing. But like that's what was on
and definitely I agree with that. That's why a lot
(04:58):
of people tell me that I act a lot older
than my age. But I've been through a lot of stuff.
So yeah, man, that that shout out. You know, mister Andre,
he definitely changed my life because that mic I played.
I made.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
What grade did you get? Because you have to get
above it?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I got like a I gotta beat plus.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That means you you were like, I'm getting this my
it's mine. I need that cheated guess what and guess what.
Sometimes it's about sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Noticed, but sometimes it's about did you get the job done?
Nobody cares about it, right, a lot of artists and
did you get the job?

How was growing up in Dallas for you? Like what?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It was good? You know, it was good for the culture,
it was good for you know, just heal. I wanted
to just because you know, somebody asked me this before,
And I think the best way to answer is like
it was, I don't think I would be me if
I was from somewhere else, you know, And I think,
like Dallas, you know, anybody know me. I'm a real country.
(09:30):
You know. Sometimes I'd be nervous to be around people
because I'll be saying things and they'd be like, what
did you say? How did you say that? What did
you say? I know, you just say like you know
what I'm saying. My girlfriend, she played me all the
time about that. But girl, like shot dealis Chexis. I
would not be myself without that sext.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
We had every time.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But the last time we had a valid time about together.
It was my birthday weekend. We had an amazing time
that in Dallas. That was two years ago. Yeah, we
was out there.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I was there for a few days, you were, and
my hotel suite was it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Was a it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
In my room in Dallas so crazy, I like three floor,
it was like it was crazy. Ye Now playing Dallas,
Dallas feels like so luxuriant, you know, country, but it's
so much money there at the same time, Yeah, you
got to know to know that that's yeah, but then
there's also a lot of like disparities between who has
(10:31):
money and who doesn't.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I felt like because I saw that too.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, growing up, you know, so crazy. This is the
funny point. Growing up. I saw it. To Dad, I
thought everybody was from Dallas. I did not know. I
thought I did not know. I'm thinking California's and Dallas.
That's up the street, you know, chief keep. I seen
Nickel Drids walking down the street. Yeah, the last week.
So I'm thinking, like, Dallas is just everything in the world.
(10:58):
And so I grew up that ship broke my heart.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I was like, damn, that's true though, when you grow up.
I grew up in Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I never left Brooklyn except to go one place, like
my whole childhood Intel College.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Really like I really.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Was like very in my neighbor. What's the first trip
you ever took outside of Dallas?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Bro The first trip I ever took outside Dallas was
literally like a year ago. What I swear the girl

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, that's my that's so.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
That's so. Where did you So you went to Atlanta?
What was that like for you?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Like, because I can't even imagine you were literally an
adult like leaving Dallas.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yo, it just felt just like damn, right, what's up?
But at the same time, like I'm not even gonna
kids you, Like, we always want other places. I never
just wanted to State though, so now I'm just like, damn, like,
this is what another place? I feel like. I went
to Solanta. Then I went to California. You know, I
went to California. I seen the palm trees. I just
and mind you, this is before I want to say
(12:28):
before I kind of just really just was buzzing this
when I first dropped my first you know song, and
you know, I'm buzzing a little bit. I did my
f C P FCP and I'm buzzing a little bit.
I'm saying California. I'm like, Bro, I made it. Bro,
I don't care nobody saying I made it because my
definition of making is a lot different from the next person.
(12:49):
Because where I come from and what we've been through.
You know, niggas come we can cut from. Yeah, okay,
because I'm so sorry, I'm no way yeah yeah, Like
I come from a place where you know, you know,
a lot of my niggas we didn't make it past
high school, you know, long missing long with the guys.
(13:10):
You know what I'm saying, we didn't make it past
where we was coming from. So me being able to
get my eyes out of Davis bro made it. It
ain't nothing that nobody can say to me. I don't
care what nobody said you So I actually, actually it's
it's a guy I heard. He's name Elite. I gotta
give him all the credit, you know, like he he.
(13:34):
I had a post and the post the post it
was I think it was somebody else's post, and I
texted I replied under my comment, I was like, I
was like, go listen to full Best because somebody was like,
what music should I listened to and I said, go
listen to for best and I a reply under it,
go listen to four best and out of nowhere. You know,
(13:56):
Malik was just like who who the fuck is full Best?
So he just wanted to listen to it, and he
was like hold on, he kind of good like he
in mind you At the time, I had no pictures
of I had nothing like, I had nothing of it
because I was kind of like, I have music up,
but I was kind of like not scared, but like it's.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Hard to put yourself out there because you want.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Because I'm singing, you know what I'm saying. And I
didn't want to be looked at in a certain type
of way because I'm from front, I'm very well respected,
so I just didn't want to be I don't know
that guy that's like sninker singing look at this like.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
What you didn't know what pain looked like back in
the day, Remember that, Remember when.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I remember knowing that it was a time, you know,
in a way, just with that with D'Angelo. I used
to work for D'Angelo back in the day. Yeah, and
I remember who he's a singer.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
But which one? What's his sugar?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
He used to be married, y'all.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
And there's a lot of reasons I say that, But
one of the reasons is also because people looked at
him like he didn't look like a singer, Like he looked.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Like he's very thuggish.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He paid away, but I think.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's dope because it's like, what does a singer look like?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Look like? And that's why I was just like I
told people, I said, bro, if I got to put
baby oil on my chist and play the piano, I'm
not doing. And that's what it is. I don't care
what nobody says. If I got it, if I got
to come on this thing and split through a backflip
and all that, ship's gotta do.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Ship like.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
That.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
But like, but your sons are definitely it's like love
sons but also like nasty but also like very.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It's real, real, like you know, it's just reality to me.
And it's just you know, I just to learn how
to sing.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
How did you know you could sing?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
My mama can really sing? And I think I think
you know, we all kind of like half our time
when we're getting a shower, we hit letting notes and
stuff like that, and we just kind of go and
stuff and It just was the thing I used to
do every time I walk home because I was always
a little like anxious every time I walk home by myself.
(16:20):
I was always anxious. So I used to do I
used to harm a lot walking back from home because
I used to be not scared. But but I used
to anything can happen. You know what I'm saying about myself.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
You know who inspired?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I used to hum a lot of fetty walk I
used to home petty. I used to hume a lot
of old school so and so to see. You know
what I'm saying. We were talking about s WV my
clos But yeah, I understand that's why a lot but
shaid to that because I'm going yeah, like, because a
(16:55):
lot of people tell me all the time, I could
have sworn another word this. It was like four years old, right,
sweat many come on, I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Can't even imagine like a young you walking home.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'll be confused. I'll be I'll be confusing, and I'll
be a order because sometimes like I can't really like,
you know, people around my age, I can't really like.
That's why I never really mess with girls around my age.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We see how to do it.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
This is young. So it's like twenty eight, twenty eight,
you're twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
One, six years listen, hold on, let me say something
six years apart. Bro, if I heard one more person
trying to pull the like cooler playing with my.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Girl, she's so young.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
She had to come on, man, because I can say
a lot of people in this motherfucker that is really
over the limit, and they're going, you said, what over
the limit? I think it depends on I think it
depends on the age gap and where the age gap starts.
Because if you and your partner's fifty and it don't matter.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Right even sixty and forty, I feel like forty, yeah,
it don't really matter.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well if I'm twenty, Let's say, let's say I'm twenty
and the other person is forty, it's kind of like, well,
you can't.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Get even get in a that's still the same age twenty.
I think you're twenty one and she's still in her twenties.
Like she's a baby. She's a grady baby. She's a
little baby too.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You know what I say.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I'll better go listen to my grandmother from Albam Man.
You know what those streams grety baby man.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You finally convinced her to go out with you? Yes, right,
come on, you could because you were she was she
was massive, because you were young. I mean, you were
twenty one.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
And if you would say this too, it's not even
just about ages and maturity too, because you look at
guys like y'all be forty years old, still acting like hyans,
you know what I'm saying, and still not mature enough.
You know, women do mature faster than men, so that's
not easy. And then also like the level of thing
that you're having being twenty one years old, it's like,
(19:10):
I don't even know if I want to put myself
in that position where you know, he's like I want
to go out and experience things.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I don't want to play myself so I can understand it.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah, definitely, So that's why I said definitely a while.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It definitely was a while when I first met her,
and I was you know how you try to just reassure.
I was just trying to reassure and just let her know,
like you know what I'm saying, I'm not I'm not
on that, but sometimes you can't tell a girl. They
just got to my and my way of kind of
showing it was just like, look, this is what I'm
on and if you ain't with that, you won't have
(19:43):
to be over. You don't have to do this. And
I guess like she peeped that out it saying I
was just regular little nigga, like right here on the boss,
he takes care of himself. Let me just okay, I
fuck with it. So I think she respected it. And
after that, you know, we went to our little house.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But then one of the real locking happened, where it's
like we're not seeing nobody else.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
The real locking happened.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Was there a conversation of.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Like, would like me you know somebody?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
When you know it?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You know it?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
It ain't no conversation, okay, ain't.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
There was a transition of.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I personally feel like if you got to come come
up to somebody and be like, hey, all right now,
better just get away from everybody and stop sucking with everybody.
I don't want to do with you. I don't want
to do it because I feel like I should be
enough for you to be like, man, fuck this ship.
I'm good for everybody. This is what I want.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You feel it were you're dealing with other chicks at
the time.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yes, before her, yeah, yeah, before so you have to
cut everybody off.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I wasn't, actually I wasn't. I was going through like
some where that ship work. I think. I think girls
go through it too, And y'all can let me know
if you'll do. But like I was going through a
time where you know, how you mess with a girl
that you mess with another girl, you messed with another
girl and you just get over stimulated. You like, bro,
I'm just tired. I need some time alone.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Let me put my up. You were going through a
time you felt like you were just.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, I'm just, I'm just I'm just and then you
see her, Yeah, she's kind of cute. I can get
you know, but.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
It's nice to pursue like sometimes the pursuit for you know,
instead of somebody like being like I'm wanting it's one.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Thing about me, and I could tell you, let's just
how one thing about me. I love a challenge if.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's who doesn't oh my god.
Speaker 3 (21:37):

How many relationships have you been in, like serious ones

Speaker 3 (22:13):
When you're talking about last week from the last album,
we right, listen.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
But your past helps you become who you are today,
to be a better person.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Do everything right. I didn't. But I'm learning. I'm still young,
I'm still learning. I'm still learning. I'm still learning to
this day.
Speaker 1 (22:33):

And I remember she said that you guys hadn't done
any music together yet.
Speaker 3 (22:42):

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I feel like inevitable. I like a little love song.
Even enduring project is cute.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It is it is we got we won't see on
this album.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
It's amazing to you when you think about even people
that you've worked with. First of all, my song I
Love Me some Sexy Red, remember sexy Red up here
on Lift Service. So the way that song starts off,
who is that in the beginning of the song where
you when I.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Don't care what was just in the studio and my
engineer was like, oh, bro, it'd be hard for you.
If you know, I can get my I can call
my girl a quick to say it wasn't even okay, okay, yeah,
he just got his girl to say this ship real quick.
She was from New York. I think she said it
was hard, so we.

That's my joint there though, like that's hard. I should
like guys.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Also like that, you know, Like even he liked when

You like when your girl be like where are you at?
What the fuck you're doing? Who these bitches?

Man? I ain't gonna lie. A lot of niggas donna
say this, but you know I love that hood ship.
That's why I'm gonna live my girl. She do all
the song, bro, she she you know us. And then
we got our times where we like being cssed out.
It's just what that is. We like this ship at
I think every nigga is in a formulation in a
(24:09):
little way, like in a little way because like think
about it kind of like Okay, let me ask you
a question.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Okay, ask us, how was that what being cursed out
because not in.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
A real like but in like a it's the energy.
It's the energy.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yeah, I think it is like, yeah, you know, sometimes
showing that you care by questioning and being a little
bit jealous, but it's also how.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You do it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yes, it's always a work in progress. And look, you
have a song with Kanye.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Kanye that's my brother from another mother.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yes, Kanye is a wild boy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Think about that.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
You're You're like, you grew up listening to Kanye and
now you've got a fucking song.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Happening like that? Like you how big of a deal
that you think about that?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
No, No, I don't think people think about that. I
don't think people understand how much like pressure was on me.
Just I'm like, Kanye, just hit my phone. Yeah, Like,
can you want you to fly a Kanye West? Now
you gotta be lying. Yeah, He's called you on face song.
Right now, I'm going face song with Kanye, freezing up.
I'm like, bro, I can't even say nothing right now.
(25:33):
He's like, yeah, you so just come to.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
L A just for you to come out. He does that.
I'm saying think about this.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
So we have Drake, Kanye West, we have Sure. I mean,
these are legendary people names. And then yeah, I feel
like you got to put that all together, like like
that's insane to think of about it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And you literally you've been doing in you.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Know, I got my first award. You know, I have radio.
I heard radio. You know I got my first award
Best New r the Artists. I'm gonna take that, you
know what I'm saying, More more to come, And I'm blessed.
God's been working in mysterious ways, just continuously blessing. And
you know, I don't. I don't. I'm not gonna overthink it.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I just got it.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I can't. I can't think about that too much. Though,
I can't think check is halting my song?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What is too much to do?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
What is your process like when you're doing music, like
when you go in the studio. You know, I know
in your music you a lot pussy too, which is
amazing for you who love that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, sure, what is the fact?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
You know it's definitely, But what is the like what
do you do you write in the studio? Do you
write at home?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You come in you just live it? Sometimes certain things
just come to you and you just you just live it.
You imagine they you be in the time, the whatever
the situation is happening, and then the process the song
was getting written and you don't even know it, and
then when that beat come on, it just all comes out.
It's really those songs that should just make quick you
(27:24):
know what I'm saying, Like, for example, that I made
them fifteen.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That makes people so mad.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
It makes peopel so mad, like, how did you write
a hit song in fifteen minutes?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Right? How abut it? How about that shallow shout out beyond?
We we can't be like her, right, we should strive
to be greater.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Feel like also, as you're doing music, you gotta like,
do you have a song with Beyonce?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Checking yet, can we make this happens?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Let's not drink that, Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Now I'm going to talk about some other songs too.
I hate to be alone? Yes, right, so let's talk
about that, Like, what is it.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
You did that? So sad too? The way you just
did that right now?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I just have to think about that. That was I
was in a tough time in my life when I
made that.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Song okay and I felt it.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yeah, yeah, with that song. It was one of those
songs that just like, you know, I remember the day
I made it. It's one of those songs that you
just never forget, you know what I'm saying. And it's
very vulnerable, and as a man, it's hard to as
a man, it's hard to tell somebody that you need
them without saying you need them. You know what I'm saying.
(28:47):
And it was, it was, It was a very I
think it's one of my most vulnerable songs.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm just telling because the guys when I admit that, yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Niggas ain't saying what is not saying I need you.
I hate being alone. You know what I'm saying. You
are bad. You're a bad person for me. So I
have to separate myself from you. But I'm going through
a lot separating myself.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
That's I don't care how old you were, that is
something that every you could be eighty years old and
feeling like that.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm so used to you. I hate being alone. This
isn't working.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
But yeah, you know how many people stay in relationships
forever that they shouldn't be in because they're used to it,
or I will say this, like some generations feel like
divorce is such a bad thing or they're so accustomed to.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Like sometimes missus from you know, aunt jeezus going around
people just noticing, you know, just getting gained from them.
You know, they turn me out of Sometimes the voices
for the better yeactually helps you. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I always say, like, sometimes.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
People be holding grudges. You can't you can't care. We
can't care.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
You see yourself getting married. I'm twenty one.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't leave marriages forever.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
GJ used to never want to get married. There was
a time there was a time when she was like,
I don't care about it, I don't want it.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
It was in the relationship for over a decade, and
I just did not see us getting married.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So I felt like it wasn't for me. It's that
it's his chair. Yeah, you hear that noise. We were
trying to figure it out. You're trying to figure it out.
He's squeaking, and he's squeaking in sweet.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
But yeah, there was a time where I felt like,
but in hindsight, I know that it was that particular
relationship that I knew wasn't my hap person.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
After yeah, you feel absolutely.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
And then the relationship that I'm in now, even after
a sixty five days engagement, she.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Almost got married before too.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, after the twelve years, I met someone and he
proposed in three days, and I came here like.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Oh my god, before you how you feel.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
In the moment, I was being in love, but in
the moment I was here for because I am a spontaneous,
sporadic type of tomorrow I might die type of person.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I also thought that that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Was a rebound situation too us, because I think you
were so used to being in a relationship that you started.
You met somebody knew and he was like, let's get married,
and you were like, okay, yeah, but that's what happens, right,
get overhead by getting under me.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
It was a whole thing.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
But now in my current relationship, we speak about marriage
and children and you know, life together, and I believe that.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
One day it will happen. You will, So you want
to get married?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
What do you think? John? And you want to get
married one day?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Maybe I don't know. I'd have to really meet the
right person, and I think there's just I don't know,
the relationship between men and women are just really tough.
Right now, I feel like yeah, yeah, and nobody wants
to be vulnerable, and no one wants to be on
this Nobody wants to show their feelings. So it's like
(32:04):
who makes the first move? I don't know, well yeah,
but you know not a lot of people do.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
But you know, the right person in your corner can
be such an asset to you. Like if you think
about in your relationship with Anicia, what is it about
her that she's brought different things out of you that
you've never experienced before.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Being able to communicate mm hmm my feelings, being able
to not just shut down and just walk out of
the room.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
See, people would think from your music that you are
good at communicating yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I won't. I would get into it, you know, with
a female, and I would not say nothing that went wrong.
I would just say I A'm gonna say no. And
you hear all of the song.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I talk to you, but I'm write in my.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You did a whole tour, Thank you, Jada.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Y'all show, yes you did. But I mean that was
that was that was something that I wasn't one thing
like I said what I said when I first guys, Yeah,
I said, if I say I'm gonna do something to
do it with the jaded girl. She played with me,
and what did she do?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Like, what do you mean he played with so?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
So she cheated on me. She cheated on me, and
I always went a book of flight to see her,
and well I always been the book to see her.
She called my phone. She was like, I'm just not
happy no more. I don't know what. I'm just not
happy no more.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And just before day to day, this.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Is before okay, this is before I knew it. And
mind you cheated on me. She did this whole thing,
and I was just like, you just want to break
over me. And you know when a girl, yeah, y'all girl,
So y'all know when y'all kind of mentally over check. Yes, y'all,
don't do too much of like reassurances, the reassuring part
(33:54):
of that. She is over. You're like, bro, I'm I'm
trying to talk to you, but if you ain't getting
what I'm say, you can get the fuck out. Damn.
You told me you was this, this was what you
was on. So she didn't do too much back and forth.
She just hung on the phone on my face.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Wow, do you think that she felt like you weren't
gonna make.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
It, no, so I caught it right. I called it
back because I was just in shock, Like, bro, you
just like, what the fuck is you want? She's like whatever, nigga.
Then I started. I started instantly, you know, because I
always want to make music. I'm still, you know, the
same kid that's been making music for so long. And
in the back of my head, nobody's not telling me.
(34:33):
I'm not gonna get on nobody. I don't care who
they is. So I'm like, you know what, just for this,
I'm gonna blow the fuck up.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm gonna get motivation period.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I'm gonna blow the fun I'm gonna get you all
these blocks up on you. When I say five months,
I want to say like five months later. I made
my first well, not made, but I dropped my first song.
It was called Stickers, and I called the stickers because
it's when you're stuck to somebody that you can't you
(35:08):
know easy. Sometimes stickers you can just take it off
your skin and put it back on, and take it
off and put it back on. But the more you
take it off and put it back on, yeah, So
that's why I that, like, man, and I was just
seeing what the music was and R and B. This
is before I was even like even thought of I'm like, bro,
(35:28):
why is everybody making toxic songs? What the fun is
going on? Can we talk about getting a girl? Now
done and hir done the whole Let's move on. I'm
just I'm just I was just baffled. So I'm like,
what if I made one, you know, and just try
to shoot at it?
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And it was sometimes I break up will give you
the courage to do some ship you wasn't.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
About to do. Yeah, that's I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
That's how I started doing radio. It was over a breakup.
I literally climb out my ex boyfriend's window, called him
in bed with another woman.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Oh yeah, it was over. Yeah, he was not playing
by that ship.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
And after that, I was like, fuck everything, I'm gonna
do radio and I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
You gotta turn like bad situations like that into some
bay situation. That is an amazing situation. And I'm not
gonna say too much, but to this day, if I
would ever have given him a moment, he would take it,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And I'm sure Jada would to.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, to just make this ship that I
ain't you know me, I don't get no fun.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Can I talk about a song on this album that
I love, Could We Last Forever? It is the most amazing,
sweetest song talk to me about I'm here for ites?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Are we last forever? Now? I want I want you
to know this whole project is a love project.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
It's cool, that's forever. It's just me just being in
my conscious like man like, like I already just meant
you and I care so much about it, I would
jump in front of the cross. And this is one
of those things that, like I said.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
You said, okay, I will die for you.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
It's good like, but it's just it's it's so real
because I don't think you know us niggas. I don't
think we are vulnerable enough, you know, and like everybody
feel the exact same way. Yeah, I'm actually saying it
and I don't give a fuck. So it's kind of
one of those things. And I think that's why a
lot of you know niggas listen to my music and ship.
(37:48):
Shout out to all the guys who listen to my music,
you know, I think that's their outlet of just being
just getting a boost.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Just like you think you have more male fans or
female fans if you had to like.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
What you I think I got more female fans, but
I think it ain't that.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Like, yeah, I love it too because because they get
the popp it because you know what it is like
even with the day of day, they stuff like that
ship I'm saying, it makes it kind of like flap.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I feel like you're making it cool to Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
That's that's and that's that's all I wanted to do. Yeah,
that's all I want.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
You like your hand campaign.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
Campaign and like it's it's cool to being like love
on your woman, love like it's cool.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
You take kind of.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Yeah, yeah, yes, guess what because guess what it's yours,
that's yours, that's you. If you guys, guess it's not.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
But you don't have to, you know you real lover boy.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
I think my t Jones, you know what I'm saying.
I think my mom. I think it comes from my
mom because my mom she a love a girl. You know,
my grandma only had girls in my life. M hm,
you know my mama, my grandma just with them too
for and them being in my life. You know, they
natured me and brought me up the right way.

How did they feel about anc when they met her?
Speaker 3 (39:16):
They loved her, They loved her, They loved her like
she she she They was like, yeah, she she cared
about you, boy, she cared about you.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
We need a song to get weed all that with you.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Okay, So let's let's think about what this song would
be about if y'all did that song.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Do you remember do you remember you guys had sex? Well,
of course you remember because you're smiling so hard.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Hey, yeah, I ain't gonna care. I'm gonna be completely honest.
Where it was in Miami? Man? That ship man, Like
you know, sometimes you can you can do it with
certain people. We grown here so I can speak on it.
We can do it with certain people. And you just
don't like she'd be like, all right, yeah we did that,
(40:08):
cool man. Y'all have had them fire works, yeah you have,
and you know and you know when y'all both got it,
like you know, when y'all both get the future, you
feel it because you're like you this ain't just no
regular like playing type shit.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
This is we both feel us.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yes, that you felt like the first time, did you
have to like be like sorry, that happened so fast.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Yeah, well well like, well I can go again, you
know what I'm saying, Like we would go back, but
with her, she just bro I ain't gonna lie. Like
when we when we went to Miami I'm talking about,
(40:53):
we just stayed under each other every second other day.
We just stayed around each other. I had to do
it or than loud performance after my role and I performance,
and when we're going to like we.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Aren't going to go after party.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
That's when you're not sick of somebody, because you know
how you could be with somebody and you like, I
need a break, but love is like when I don't
need a break. I could be with you all day
every day. Everybody else like we're chilling you my best friend, my.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Best friend, you everything to me, my partner. They ain't
gonna play with you, They're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
So was it a conversation like where you be my girl?
Or how did that happen?
Speaker 3 (41:38):
It never happened.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
It just it just it just you know what I'm saying,
it because it.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Was supposed to it was supposed to happen. But at
least it leads me to my project. The reason why
I named it Still Shining is because you know, I
was going through the darkest talments of my life. Now
y'all just was speaking about you know, dated Aid. You
know what I'm saying, my song going number seven on Billboard. Crazy,
(42:05):
you know what I'm saying, Drake, you know yay Usher,
you name it like in mind you I was twenty
nineteen going twenty this time, yeah, and me facing artists,
it was so many pros, but at the same time,
it was so many guns and I'm facing the head on.
You know what I'm saying, I'm going through I feel
like I don'et went through a lot of shit in
(42:26):
my life, but you know, feeling like the world is
against me, feeling like I'm like, damn, I'm like, what
the fuck? I liked the fucking music, Like, what the
fuck's going on? So I'm kind of I was going
through one of the toughest songs in my life.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
You see them a lot happier now than the last
time I saw you, like, And I also feel like
wearing that mask was kind of like I don't even want.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
To Yeah, bro, that mask was just I don't want
your faces. I don't want to face the world.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yeah, it was one of those things. And we was
already wearing a mask, you know what I'm saying. It
was just one of It was just our thing. But
it kind of like I kept wearing them more because
it was just like man like.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
It's trying to be thrust into people's talking shit. Yeah
you know what I'm saying, Like you're just trying to
do what you do. Shit is successful, but then people
are talking shit is weird.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
It's what is fuck? It's what is fuck?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
And I'm not gonna care. I have to just soon
after the media. But like I said, a niecea she
came in my life and she's she was the one
I got to give her auto credit and I dedicate
everything to it because she came in my life and
she was just like, hey, oh nigga, I'm gonna be
completely honest with you, but like you looking at these tweets,
I ain't gonna help you with nothing. You know what
I'm saying, You're doing it to yourself and you the
(43:34):
reason why you're going in this doork path. She kind
of like made me look myself in the mirror and
tell myself like I'm still standing, I'm still shining. That's
the reason why I came up with this project. That's
why you hear all these love songs, because it brought
me out of that to be able to say, Bro,
I'm gonna make a love album. Brother, fucking shit.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
And I will say that even when you went on
tour before, you got a lot of great reviews about
your life, which is a big yeah. Sometimes we don't
focus on the love. It's message to be focused on
the criticism. Yes, and a lot of that criticism comes
from like people just trying.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
To be funny, and we're going back onto it. Oh
tell me about that.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
We're going back onto go crazy and we're finish. It's
gonna be like a live band. It's your whole. It's
going to be real. It's going to be really Angelo.
You gotta prop up. Yeah, I can't just say that.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Listen, when we reached out be don't put us, don't
put us in those things.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Okaylip servers in the building.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
You know what for a bas thank you so much
for joining us today. What is the tour starting?
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Do we know in October? Be there be squore, can't
pull up, come fun with your boy.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah, what what's the name of the tour?
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Still we don't.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Know if it's the name of the album. Can we
talk about the artwork too? Is that like a young
for bats?
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Now that's money of kids. But it's just so like
Gootter so good. Know, it's so real and it just
feels organic, and I just feel like that's how I'm
feeling right now. I'm still shining. Fuck y'all. You know
what I'm saying. Like I had to, you know, revamp myself.
You know what I'm saying. I feel like I was dark.
I feel like I was down. I feel like I
was sad as fucked and I had to just turn
(45:16):
myself up.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Just you know.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
I'm that because some people, some people would never believe
that you had the success that you had and was
feeling down about it. And that's a hard thing for
people to fall And they're like, oh, but you had
this big song, you were in top ten, you were
this that you had, you know, songs with like huge
stars and went on this tour and killed it. People
don't understand that when you're not prepared for the hate
(45:40):
sometimes that comes with that.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
It's a little period, you know, we got a proper.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
Did you have to like I know and see it
helped you a lot during that time, But did you
have to like get any type of like And I
know this is a great but like did you have
to get outside help like therapy? Have you have to
do other things to kind of try to help you cope?
Because it is sometimes not easy to go from being
like a care from Dallas.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
And then now everybody right, I was going to I
was going to do it. I was really going to
do it, And I think sometimes I still might do it,
you know, like just you know, it's not like I'm
just down bad and I needed oh. But sometimes it's
good to like know the answer, you know what I'm saying.
(46:32):
When you're when you're overthinking, you know, when you feel
a certain type of way, when you feel like, ah, bro,
like I just I can't take this right now, I'm
over stimulating, I'm over this. A lot of times we
do negative things and then the negative thing adds up
to another negative thing and now we just over everything
and now life were just feeling depressed. We just do
it to ourselves. So sometimes talking to someone that will
(46:56):
have to be a therapist, but talking to someone.
Speaker 4 (46:58):
And also learning how to deal with things. Like I
told you earlier, your response is all you can really control.
I can't control what you do, but what I can
control is my And so sometimes it's just those skills
to be able to be like, Okay, how can I
make sure that I react in a way where I'm
not disturbing my own peace?
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yes, you know, and my own happiness? Are you happy?
Speaker 3 (47:20):
I'm happy?
Speaker 1 (47:21):
But are you in love?
Speaker 3 (47:23):
You can't tell you.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I can tell, yeah, I just wanted you to say.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I guess what. I'm probably I ain't scared, scared to
play around, scared, of course it I'm probably in love.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
The whole album you still shining. This whole album is
about being in love.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
Yeah, I'm in love, and I feel like you know one,
folks ain't making.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
No love albums and they share out sure not.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
And you know I'm the youngest, youngest. Most Chinese letters come.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
By.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
Hate'll already it's cool, I don't you know? For we're
gonna drop this real quick, y'all. Please for you'll you.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
At your bag? Easy task. You know what I'm saying.
I don't know what you did. Lead in love and
lead by example, and they're gonna follow. I believe in you.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
If you have to break it down, like as far
as the physical aspect of a relationship where you're pleasing
your women, how important is like the physical aspect.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
Very important, super dup important. I think sometimes that is
a way to reassure that you are you know, for them,
you know, And a woman can tell when it's not real,
like when it's kind of like you're doing it just
to like make me feel Okay, come on, I can tell.
I know what you're doing. This is part of your
game and ship. But also a woman can really tell
(48:40):
because you're always on us.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
That's a fact. I'm glad you know that.
Speaker 5 (48:45):
Come on, Like I said, I grew up with always
you know.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
Yeah, So like you know y'all, y'all, y'all know and
you can. We can't fake it, you know. That's why
like a lot of times we look a lot, you know,
we drag mem a lot because we do a lot
of dumb shit because we think, y'all don't know what
y'all know?
Speaker 4 (49:06):
What is your future? When you think about your future,
what does that look like for you?
Speaker 3 (49:10):
I see me, I see me big. You know what
I'm saying. I'm gonna look back at this clip right here, man,
I see me just you know, I see me growing
my My only focus right now. I didn't do a
lot of things my first year, and my only focus
right now is consistently growing my fan base, my people,
(49:31):
you know, the people that likes my music. I'm not
I don't give a fuck about just having the world
right now, but just the people that like my music.
Consistently growing up, you know, and learning and getting a
listener every single day. That's all I care about. That's it.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
And aside from music and learning more. Yeah, aside from music,
where do you see yourself life goals?
Speaker 3 (49:49):
M as in? What what's a little more, a little
more like?
Speaker 4 (49:53):
Just aside from music, what are some other goals at
for Bataz on his bucket list?
Speaker 3 (50:00):
I want to I got a lot of a lot
of niggas in jail. I got a lot of niggas
just fucked up right now. I just want everybody to
do okay, you know, And I'm at a place where
I can't help everybody. You know what I'm saying, Like,
you know, my mama, you know, my mom is sick
right now. So I gotta take care of my mom,
(50:20):
make sure my mom is okay, So I like, damn,
like my niggas just went to jail. He got going
right here. You know what I'm saying, I want to
get him out. It's like do I do that or
do I.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Take care I take It's a lot of decisions, a
lot of decisions.
Speaker 3 (50:33):
So I want to be able to, like my one
of my goals is just make sure everybody's around me
that I love, that care for me. I want to
make sure that they they are good. I want to
put them in a position for them to be good,
so I won't be just giving them money so they
can have their own situation. That's legal, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
Yeah, that's how because it's never anything though, when you
start giving people money, it's a never a nigga dollar.
Speaker 3 (50:55):
You gonna end up minus fifty by the end of
the day.
Speaker 4 (50:58):
And you also could do that for like three years, honestly,
get people money, and then the one time you're like
right now is not good all that you're the worst
person on the planet.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
So you know, just that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Just know that, like whatever you got to do that
is immediate, being open and honest and also setting boundaries
is one of the most important things, and sometimes those
boundaries come from having people who are experts in that
field who can also be the ones that communicate like,
right now is not the time for this to happen.
But what we can do is this. But what we
can't do is that, Yeah, you know, you got to
(51:31):
take care of you first, because like you said, you
were in a bad space before. You don't want to
get back into that space. And when you were in
a bad space, it was you, like you know what
I'm saying, And so I think it's like you, your family,
your girl, your baby, you know what I'm saying, and
you'll have some kids.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Shout Alicia, I know you're looking at this. Bobby, I
love you. I'm coming home after this. I know they
got me up and this shit real quick. You know
what I'm saying, I'm coming home. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Gg maguire, I'm Geordie George, and I'm Batman.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What's Heavy.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
We are celebrating you just because you have this project
coming out, and when I tell you, I'm such a
fan of four Bats, like listening to not just because
we got a little sneak peak of the new project
I did, but even flashing back to like I'm gonna
tell you one of my favorites is when I Sure
got on the remix.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Shout out us when I'm talking. When he got on
that thing, brouh, it made me want to just cloud
edit another verse. I wasn't even ad, but he just
went crazy. Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
And I love R and B.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
That's raw like that talks about stuff in a way
that is like dang, Like you know, when you can
sing some nasty shit, it just sounds so good.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, And we need to continuously bring that back. I
feel like we in a toxic world of just world.
We don't care about girls and stuff like that. We
need to bring the bedroom music back. We need to
bring the love music back, the whole line period.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And you're a lover guy, too, and I ain't afraid.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
To say it.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
When you first came out, I thought you were going
to be like very kind of like, you know, I
think it was the mask.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It felt like you didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It was a lot though, because like you got to understand, right,
I dropped the song, and once I dropped the song,
everybody in the world is telling me he can't be
from Dallas. On top of day, you can't be able
to hit that note. On top of that, you can't
be able to make that song you play that, So
it's like, okay, I don't even know what the do.
And then it was like, oh, yeah, he got a major,
(01:41):
we got what he said he got like a he
signed a deal that was independent the whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Right because they were then it was like a EP deal,
one project deal.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It was business, just creating rumors. And then the crazy
part about those roomors people. Of course that's and I
realized that's the limit.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's why they believe anything happen.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
But you know, it is the in though. You can't lie,
like the internet is like I feel like he's made
up in romans accusings and it'd be like twenty percent
sometimes real.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But you know what I think it was before it
back when your song came out, you know, it was
day to eight eight.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, that song was huge.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Really fast, and so it is kind of like where
did this come from?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That's why I don't blame people. Yeah, I just that's all.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Even though he was a guy at first, I'm gonna
be honest. When I first I'm just being honest. When
I first heard it, I was like, Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I thought it was like, like, there's loah. Yeah I did.
I did.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Definitely inspired by the way if y'all can hear, like yeah,
shout out days.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
But then when I started listening to more of your
music after that, I was like, this is a whole
entire you know, but for people, if they don't see
the grind of like Okay, he put out this song,
he had this, he had this. People don't see that
this see that and then drink jumped on it and afterwards,
but it was already happened, like a.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Lot of people don't know. I've been making music since
third grade. I've been making music in third grade. I
was the kid in school that was, you know, beating
on the on the table, trying to wrap and stuff. Actually,
how I got my first mic. I was in Elternal School.
I never forget. Uh my teacher was named mister Andre,
mister Andre, something like that. I forgot. Well, miss Andre,
(03:24):
I'm rapping and he's like, yo, if you keep wrapping,
we're gonna have to just kick you out. But but
but I'm we're gonna, were gonna, We're gonna do some
type of deal if you if you, if you pass
this test, you get like be minus, I'm gonna buy
(03:44):
your mic. Wow, what if I tell you that same
mic that he bought me?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I still got it?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
No, No, I mean they on.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
From third grade?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, no, no, no, no, no, this was no. I started
making music and third grade school, so it was probably like,
why were you.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
An alternati school? It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I had a conversation with a chance to her recently
about how kids can be very gifted but they learn
in such a different way. But also sometimes you can
be disruptive in the classroom and they don't know what
to do with you.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
What made you be in all?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I wasn't turning school for a lot of stuff. I
was in turning to school. They put me into some
like there was some gang stuff, and then they put
me in for fighting. I was fighting a lot in
high school, okay, and I was just mad at the world.
I was one of those kids. I just was just
mad just because yeah, yeah, you know when you when
you're when your house is not stable, you're not stable
(04:38):
as a kid. You know what I'm saying, You're not
stable mentally. And me going to school, I'm not trying
to do no work. You know, I'm not looking at
no paper. I'm not I'm skipping school. We're finel smoke,
We're not kids. Do not do that, by the way,
it's not the thing. But like that's what was on
and definitely I agree with that. That's why a lot
(04:58):
of people tell me that I act a lot older
than my age. But I've been through a lot of stuff.
So yeah, man, that that shout out. You know, mister Andre,
he definitely changed my life because that mic I played.
I made.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
What grade did you get? Because you have to get
above it?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I got like a I gotta beat plus.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That means you you were like, I'm getting this my
it's mine. I need that cheated guess what and guess what.
Sometimes it's about sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Noticed, but sometimes it's about did you get the job done?
Nobody cares about it, right, a lot of artists and
did you get the job?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Okay, don't think about that in your relationship. Okay, absolutely, I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
How was growing up in Dallas for you? Like what?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It was good? You know, it was good for the culture,
it was good for you know, just heal. I wanted
to just because you know, somebody asked me this before,
And I think the best way to answer is like
it was, I don't think I would be me if
I was from somewhere else, you know, And I think,
like Dallas, you know, anybody know me. I'm a real country.
(09:30):
You know. Sometimes I'd be nervous to be around people
because I'll be saying things and they'd be like, what
did you say? How did you say that? What did
you say? I know, you just say like you know
what I'm saying. My girlfriend, she played me all the
time about that. But girl, like shot dealis Chexis. I
would not be myself without that sext.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
We had every time.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But the last time we had a valid time about together.
It was my birthday weekend. We had an amazing time
that in Dallas. That was two years ago. Yeah, we
was out there.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I was there for a few days, you were, and
my hotel suite was it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Was a it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
In my room in Dallas so crazy, I like three floor,
it was like it was crazy. Ye Now playing Dallas,
Dallas feels like so luxuriant, you know, country, but it's
so much money there at the same time, Yeah, you
got to know to know that that's yeah, but then
there's also a lot of like disparities between who has
(10:31):
money and who doesn't.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I felt like because I saw that too.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, growing up, you know, so crazy. This is the
funny point. Growing up. I saw it. To Dad, I
thought everybody was from Dallas. I did not know. I
thought I did not know. I'm thinking California's and Dallas.
That's up the street, you know, chief keep. I seen
Nickel Drids walking down the street. Yeah, the last week.
So I'm thinking, like, Dallas is just everything in the world.
(10:58):
And so I grew up that ship broke my heart.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I was like, damn, that's true though, when you grow up.
I grew up in Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I never left Brooklyn except to go one place, like
my whole childhood Intel College.

(12:28):
before I kind of just really just was buzzing this
when I first dropped my first you know song, and
you know, I'm buzzing a little bit. I did my
f C P FCP and I'm buzzing a little bit.
I'm saying California. I'm like, Bro, I made it. Bro,
I don't care nobody saying I made it because my
definition of making is a lot different from the next person.
(12:49):
Because where I come from and what we've been through.
You know, niggas come we can cut from. Yeah, okay,
because I'm so sorry, I'm no way yeah yeah, Like
I come from a place where you know, you know,
a lot of my niggas we didn't make it past
high school, you know, long missing long with the guys.
(13:10):
You know what I'm saying, we didn't make it past
where we was coming from. So me being able to
get my eyes out of Davis bro made it. It
ain't nothing that nobody can say to me. I don't
care what nobody said you So I actually, actually it's
it's a guy I heard. He's name Elite. I gotta
give him all the credit, you know, like he he.
(13:34):
I had a post and the post the post it
was I think it was somebody else's post, and I
texted I replied under my comment, I was like, I
was like, go listen to full Best because somebody was like,
what music should I listened to and I said, go
listen to for best and I a reply under it,
go listen to four best and out of nowhere. You know,
(13:56):
Malik was just like who who the fuck is full Best?
So he just wanted to listen to it, and he
was like hold on, he kind of good like he
in mind you At the time, I had no pictures
of I had nothing like, I had nothing of it
because I was kind of like, I have music up,
but I was kind of like not scared, but like it's.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Hard to put yourself out there because you want.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Because I'm singing, you know what I'm saying. And I
didn't want to be looked at in a certain type
of way because I'm from front, I'm very well respected,
so I just didn't want to be I don't know
that guy that's like sninker singing look at this like.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
What you didn't know what pain looked like back in
the day, Remember that, Remember when.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I remember knowing that it was a time, you know,
in a way, just with that with D'Angelo. I used
to work for D'Angelo back in the day. Yeah, and
I remember who he's a singer.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
But which one? What's his sugar?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
He used to be married, y'all.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
And there's a lot of reasons I say that, But
one of the reasons is also because people looked at
him like he didn't look like a singer, Like he looked.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Like he's very thuggish.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He paid away, but I think.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's dope because it's like, what does a singer look like?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Look like? And that's why I was just like I
told people, I said, bro, if I got to put
baby oil on my chist and play the piano, I'm
not doing. And that's what it is. I don't care
what nobody says. If I got it, if I got
to come on this thing and split through a backflip
and all that, ship's gotta do.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Ship like.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
That.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
But like, but your sons are definitely it's like love
sons but also like nasty but also like very.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It's real, real, like you know, it's just reality to me.
And it's just you know, I just to learn how
to sing.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
How did you know you could sing?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
My mama can really sing? And I think I think
you know, we all kind of like half our time
when we're getting a shower, we hit letting notes and
stuff like that, and we just kind of go and
stuff and It just was the thing I used to
do every time I walk home because I was always
a little like anxious every time I walk home by myself.
(16:20):
I was always anxious. So I used to do I
used to harm a lot walking back from home because
I used to be not scared. But but I used
to anything can happen. You know what I'm saying about myself.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
You know who inspired?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I used to hum a lot of fetty walk I
used to home petty. I used to hume a lot
of old school so and so to see. You know
what I'm saying. We were talking about s WV my
clos But yeah, I understand that's why a lot but
shaid to that because I'm going yeah, like, because a
(16:55):
lot of people tell me all the time, I could
have sworn another word this. It was like four years old, right,
sweat many come on, I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Can't even imagine like a young you walking home.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'll be confused. I'll be I'll be confusing, and I'll
be a order because sometimes like I can't really like,
you know, people around my age, I can't really like.
That's why I never really mess with girls around my age.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We see how to do it.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
This is young. So it's like twenty eight, twenty eight,
you're twenty.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
One, six years listen, hold on, let me say something
six years apart. Bro, if I heard one more person
trying to pull the like cooler playing with my.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Girl, she's so young.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
She had to come on, man, because I can say
a lot of people in this motherfucker that is really
over the limit, and they're going, you said, what over
the limit? I think it depends on I think it
depends on the age gap and where the age gap starts.
Because if you and your partner's fifty and it don't matter.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Right even sixty and forty, I feel like forty, yeah,
it don't really matter.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well if I'm twenty, Let's say, let's say I'm twenty
and the other person is forty, it's kind of like, well,
you can't.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Get even get in a that's still the same age twenty.
I think you're twenty one and she's still in her twenties.
Like she's a baby. She's a grady baby. She's a
little baby too.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You know what I say.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I'll better go listen to my grandmother from Albam Man.
You know what those streams grety baby man.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You finally convinced her to go out with you? Yes, right,
come on, you could because you were she was she
was massive, because you were young. I mean, you were
twenty one.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
And if you would say this too, it's not even
just about ages and maturity too, because you look at
guys like y'all be forty years old, still acting like hyans,
you know what I'm saying, and still not mature enough.
You know, women do mature faster than men, so that's
not easy. And then also like the level of thing
that you're having being twenty one years old, it's like,
(19:10):
I don't even know if I want to put myself
in that position where you know, he's like I want
to go out and experience things.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I don't want to play myself so I can understand it.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Yeah, definitely, So that's why I said definitely a while.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It definitely was a while when I first met her,
and I was you know how you try to just reassure.
I was just trying to reassure and just let her know,
like you know what I'm saying, I'm not I'm not
on that, but sometimes you can't tell a girl. They
just got to my and my way of kind of
showing it was just like, look, this is what I'm
on and if you ain't with that, you won't have
(19:43):
to be over. You don't have to do this. And
I guess like she peeped that out it saying I
was just regular little nigga, like right here on the boss,
he takes care of himself. Let me just okay, I
fuck with it. So I think she respected it. And
after that, you know, we went to our little house.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
But then one of the real locking happened, where it's
like we're not seeing nobody else.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
The real locking happened.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Was there a conversation of.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Like, would like me you know somebody?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
When you know it?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You know it?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
It ain't no conversation, okay, ain't.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
There was a transition of.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I personally feel like if you got to come come
up to somebody and be like, hey, all right now,
better just get away from everybody and stop sucking with everybody.
I don't want to do with you. I don't want
to do it because I feel like I should be
enough for you to be like, man, fuck this ship.
I'm good for everybody. This is what I want.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You feel it were you're dealing with other chicks at
the time.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yes, before her, yeah, yeah, before so you have to
cut everybody off.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I wasn't, actually I wasn't. I was going through like
some where that ship work. I think. I think girls
go through it too, And y'all can let me know
if you'll do. But like I was going through a
time where you know, how you mess with a girl
that you mess with another girl, you messed with another
girl and you just get over stimulated. You like, bro,
I'm just tired. I need some time alone.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Let me put my up. You were going through a
time you felt like you were just.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, I'm just, I'm just I'm just and then you
see her, Yeah, she's kind of cute. I can get
you know, but.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
It's nice to pursue like sometimes the pursuit for you know,
instead of somebody like being like I'm wanting it's one.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Thing about me, and I could tell you, let's just
how one thing about me. I love a challenge if.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's who doesn't oh my god.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I feel like if if if Anicia, I don't know,
if she was one of those people that was just like,
oh yeah, come on, you're oh my god, like I
don't know if we even good thing.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, and she's also get in her own right.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
She's anea. So I just respect that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
How many relationships have you been in, like serious ones
before that?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Probably like three?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Wow the house.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Zero. I have been in no suit relationship.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I didn't even before.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
When you're talking about last week from the last album,
we right, listen.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
But your past helps you become who you are today,
to be a better person.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Do everything right. I didn't. But I'm learning. I'm still young,
I'm still learning. I'm still learning. I'm still learning to
this day.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
So yes, I love this for you, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And I remember she said that you guys hadn't done
any music together yet.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Still we're gonna see on this on this project.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I feel like inevitable. I like a little love song.
Even enduring project is cute.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It is it is we got we won't see on
this album.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
It's amazing to you when you think about even people
that you've worked with. First of all, my song I
Love Me some Sexy Red, remember sexy Red up here
on Lift Service. So the way that song starts off,
who is that in the beginning of the song where
you when I.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Don't care what was just in the studio and my
engineer was like, oh, bro, it'd be hard for you.
If you know, I can get my I can call
my girl a quick to say it wasn't even okay, okay, yeah,
he just got his girl to say this ship real quick.
She was from New York. I think she said it
was hard, so we.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Just kept Yeah, when it works, it worked. I like that.
That's my joint there though, like that's hard. I should
like guys.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Also like that, you know, Like even he liked when
you be like on him. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
You like when your girl be like where are you at?
What the fuck you're doing? Who these bitches?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Who these hoes?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Man? I ain't gonna lie. A lot of niggas donna
say this, but you know I love that hood ship.
That's why I'm gonna live my girl. She do all
the song, bro, she she you know us. And then
we got our times where we like being cssed out.
It's just what that is. We like this ship at
I think every nigga is in a formulation in a
(24:09):
little way, like in a little way because like think
about it kind of like Okay, let me ask you
a question.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Okay, ask us, how was that what being cursed out
because not in.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
A real like but in like a it's the energy.
It's the energy.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yeah, I think it is like, yeah, you know, sometimes
showing that you care by questioning and being a little
bit jealous, but it's also how.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You do it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yes, it's always a work in progress. And look, you
have a song with Kanye.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Kanye that's my brother from another mother.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yes, Kanye is a wild boy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Think about that.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
You're You're like, you grew up listening to Kanye and
now you've got a fucking song.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Happening like that? Like you how big of a deal
that you think about that?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
No, No, I don't think people think about that. I
don't think people understand how much like pressure was on me.
Just I'm like, Kanye, just hit my phone. Yeah, Like,
can you want you to fly a Kanye West? Now
you gotta be lying. Yeah, He's called you on face song.
Right now, I'm going face song with Kanye, freezing up.
I'm like, bro, I can't even say nothing right now.
(25:33):
He's like, yeah, you so just come to.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
L A just for you to come out. He does that.
I'm saying think about this.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
So we have Drake, Kanye West, we have Sure. I mean,
these are legendary people names. And then yeah, I feel
like you got to put that all together, like like
that's insane to think of about it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And you literally you've been doing in you.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Know, I got my first award. You know, I have radio.
I heard radio. You know I got my first award
Best New r the Artists. I'm gonna take that, you
know what I'm saying, More more to come, And I'm blessed.
God's been working in mysterious ways, just continuously blessing. And
you know, I don't. I don't. I'm not gonna overthink it.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I just got it.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I can't. I can't think about that too much. Though,
I can't think check is halting my song?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
What is too much to do?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
What is your process like when you're doing music, like
when you go in the studio. You know, I know
in your music you a lot pussy too, which is
amazing for you who love that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, sure, what is the fact?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
You know it's definitely, But what is the like what
do you do you write in the studio? Do you
write at home?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You come in you just live it? Sometimes certain things
just come to you and you just you just live it.
You imagine they you be in the time, the whatever
the situation is happening, and then the process the song
was getting written and you don't even know it, and
then when that beat come on, it just all comes out.
It's really those songs that should just make quick you
(27:24):
know what I'm saying, Like, for example, that I made
them fifteen.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That makes people so mad.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
It makes peopel so mad, like, how did you write
a hit song in fifteen minutes?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Right? How abut it? How about that shallow shout out beyond?
We we can't be like her, right, we should strive
to be greater.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Feel like also, as you're doing music, you gotta like,
do you have a song with Beyonce?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Checking yet, can we make this happens?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Let's not drink that, Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Now I'm going to talk about some other songs too.
I hate to be alone? Yes, right, so let's talk
about that, Like, what is it.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
You did that? So sad too? The way you just
did that right now?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I just have to think about that. That was I
was in a tough time in my life when I
made that.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Song okay and I felt it.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yeah, yeah, with that song. It was one of those
songs that just like, you know, I remember the day
I made it. It's one of those songs that you
just never forget, you know what I'm saying. And it's
very vulnerable, and as a man, it's hard to as
a man, it's hard to tell somebody that you need
them without saying you need them. You know what I'm saying.
(28:47):
And it was, it was, It was a very I
think it's one of my most vulnerable songs.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm just telling because the guys when I admit that, yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Niggas ain't saying what is not saying I need you.
I hate being alone. You know what I'm saying. You
are bad. You're a bad person for me. So I
have to separate myself from you. But I'm going through
a lot separating myself.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
That's I don't care how old you were, that is
something that every you could be eighty years old and
feeling like that.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm so used to you. I hate being alone. This
isn't working.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
But yeah, you know how many people stay in relationships
forever that they shouldn't be in because they're used to it,
or I will say this, like some generations feel like
divorce is such a bad thing or they're so accustomed to.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Like sometimes missus from you know, aunt jeezus going around
people just noticing, you know, just getting gained from them.
You know, they turn me out of Sometimes the voices
for the better yeactually helps you. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I always say, like, sometimes.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
People be holding grudges. You can't you can't care. We
can't care.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
You see yourself getting married. I'm twenty one.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't leave marriages forever.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
GJ used to never want to get married. There was
a time there was a time when she was like,
I don't care about it, I don't want it.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
It was in the relationship for over a decade, and
I just did not see us getting married.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So I felt like it wasn't for me. It's that
it's his chair. Yeah, you hear that noise. We were
trying to figure it out. You're trying to figure it out.
He's squeaking, and he's squeaking in sweet.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
But yeah, there was a time where I felt like,
but in hindsight, I know that it was that particular
relationship that I knew wasn't my hap person.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
After yeah, you feel absolutely.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
And then the relationship that I'm in now, even after
a sixty five days engagement, she.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Almost got married before too.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, after the twelve years, I met someone and he
proposed in three days, and I came here like.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Oh my god, before you how you feel.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
In the moment, I was being in love, but in
the moment I was here for because I am a spontaneous,
sporadic type of tomorrow I might die type of person.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I also thought that that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Was a rebound situation too us, because I think you
were so used to being in a relationship that you started.
You met somebody knew and he was like, let's get married,
and you were like, okay, yeah, but that's what happens, right,
get overhead by getting under me.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
It was a whole thing.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
But now in my current relationship, we speak about marriage
and children and you know, life together, and I believe that.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
One day it will happen. You will, So you want
to get married?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
What do you think? John? And you want to get
married one day?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Maybe I don't know. I'd have to really meet the
right person, and I think there's just I don't know,
the relationship between men and women are just really tough.
Right now, I feel like yeah, yeah, and nobody wants
to be vulnerable, and no one wants to be on
this Nobody wants to show their feelings. So it's like
(32:04):
who makes the first move? I don't know, well yeah,
but you know not a lot of people do.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
But you know, the right person in your corner can
be such an asset to you. Like if you think
about in your relationship with Anicia, what is it about
her that she's brought different things out of you that
you've never experienced before.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Being able to communicate mm hmm my feelings, being able
to not just shut down and just walk out of
the room.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
See, people would think from your music that you are
good at communicating yourself.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I won't. I would get into it, you know, with
a female, and I would not say nothing that went wrong.
I would just say I A'm gonna say no. And
you hear all of the song.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I talk to you, but I'm write in my.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You did a whole tour, Thank you, Jada.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Y'all show, yes you did. But I mean that was
that was that was something that I wasn't one thing
like I said what I said when I first guys, Yeah,
I said, if I say I'm gonna do something to
do it with the jaded girl. She played with me,
and what did she do?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Like, what do you mean he played with so?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
So she cheated on me. She cheated on me, and
I always went a book of flight to see her,
and well I always been the book to see her.
She called my phone. She was like, I'm just not
happy no more. I don't know what. I'm just not
happy no more.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And just before day to day, this.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Is before okay, this is before I knew it. And
mind you cheated on me. She did this whole thing,
and I was just like, you just want to break
over me. And you know when a girl, yeah, y'all girl,
So y'all know when y'all kind of mentally over check. Yes, y'all,
don't do too much of like reassurances, the reassuring part
(33:54):
of that. She is over. You're like, bro, I'm I'm
trying to talk to you, but if you ain't getting
what I'm say, you can get the fuck out. Damn.
You told me you was this, this was what you
was on. So she didn't do too much back and forth.
She just hung on the phone on my face.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Wow, do you think that she felt like you weren't
gonna make.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
It, no, so I caught it right. I called it
back because I was just in shock, Like, bro, you
just like, what the fuck is you want? She's like whatever, nigga.
Then I started. I started instantly, you know, because I
always want to make music. I'm still, you know, the
same kid that's been making music for so long. And
in the back of my head, nobody's not telling me.
(34:33):
I'm not gonna get on nobody. I don't care who
they is. So I'm like, you know what, just for this,
I'm gonna blow the fuck up.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm gonna get motivation period.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I'm gonna blow the fun I'm gonna get you all
these blocks up on you. When I say five months,
I want to say like five months later. I made
my first well, not made, but I dropped my first song.
It was called Stickers, and I called the stickers because
it's when you're stuck to somebody that you can't you
(35:08):
know easy. Sometimes stickers you can just take it off
your skin and put it back on, and take it
off and put it back on. But the more you
take it off and put it back on, yeah, So
that's why I that, like, man, and I was just
seeing what the music was and R and B. This
is before I was even like even thought of I'm like, bro,
(35:28):
why is everybody making toxic songs? What the fun is
going on? Can we talk about getting a girl? Now
done and hir done the whole Let's move on. I'm
just I'm just I was just baffled. So I'm like,
what if I made one, you know, and just try
to shoot at it?
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And it was sometimes I break up will give you
the courage to do some ship you wasn't.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
About to do. Yeah, that's I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
That's how I started doing radio. It was over a breakup.
I literally climb out my ex boyfriend's window, called him
in bed with another woman.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Oh yeah, it was over. Yeah, he was not playing
by that ship.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
And after that, I was like, fuck everything, I'm gonna
do radio and I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
You gotta turn like bad situations like that into some
bay situation. That is an amazing situation. And I'm not
gonna say too much, but to this day, if I
would ever have given him a moment, he would take it,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And I'm sure Jada would to.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, to just make this ship that I
ain't you know me, I don't get no fun.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Can I talk about a song on this album that
I love, Could We Last Forever? It is the most amazing,
sweetest song talk to me about I'm here for ites?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Are we last forever? Now? I want I want you
to know this whole project is a love project.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
It's cool, that's forever. It's just me just being in
my conscious like man like, like I already just meant
you and I care so much about it, I would
jump in front of the cross. And this is one
of those things that, like I said.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
You said, okay, I will die for you.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
It's good like, but it's just it's it's so real
because I don't think you know us niggas. I don't
think we are vulnerable enough, you know, and like everybody
feel the exact same way. Yeah, I'm actually saying it
and I don't give a fuck. So it's kind of
one of those things. And I think that's why a
lot of you know niggas listen to my music and ship.
(37:48):
Shout out to all the guys who listen to my music,
you know, I think that's their outlet of just being
just getting a boost.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Just like you think you have more male fans or
female fans if you had to like.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
What you I think I got more female fans, but
I think it ain't that.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Like, yeah, I love it too because because they get
the popp it because you know what it is like
even with the day of day, they stuff like that
ship I'm saying, it makes it kind of like flap.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I feel like you're making it cool to Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
That's that's and that's that's all I wanted to do. Yeah,
that's all I want.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
You like your hand campaign.
Speaker 5 (38:27):
Campaign and like it's it's cool to being like love
on your woman, love like it's cool.

about you, boy, she cared about you.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
We need a song to get weed all that with you.

Okay, So let's let's think about what this song would
be about if y'all did that song.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Do you remember do you remember you guys had sex? Well,
of course you remember because you're smiling so hard.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Hey, yeah, I ain't gonna care. I'm gonna be completely honest.
Where it was in Miami? Man? That ship man, Like
you know, sometimes you can you can do it with
certain people. We grown here so I can speak on it.
We can do it with certain people. And you just
don't like she'd be like, all right, yeah we did that,
(40:08):
cool man. Y'all have had them fire works, yeah you have,
and you know and you know when y'all both got it,
like you know, when y'all both get the future, you
feel it because you're like you this ain't just no
regular like playing type shit.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
This is we both feel us.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yes, that you felt like the first time, did you
have to like be like sorry, that happened so fast.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Yeah, well well like, well I can go again, you
know what I'm saying, Like we would go back, but
with her, she just bro I ain't gonna lie. Like
when we when we went to Miami I'm talking about,
(40:53):
we just stayed under each other every second other day.
We just stayed around each other. I had to do
it or than loud performance after my role and I performance,
and when we're going to like we.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Aren't going to go after party.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
That's when you're not sick of somebody, because you know
how you could be with somebody and you like, I
need a break, but love is like when I don't
need a break. I could be with you all day
every day. Everybody else like we're chilling you my best friend, my.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Best friend, you everything to me, my partner. They ain't
gonna play with you, They're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
So was it a conversation like where you be my girl?
Or how did that happen?
Speaker 3 (41:38):
It never happened.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
It just it just it just you know what I'm saying,
it because it.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Was supposed to it was supposed to happen. But at
least it leads me to my project. The reason why
I named it Still Shining is because you know, I
was going through the darkest talments of my life. Now
y'all just was speaking about you know, dated Aid. You
know what I'm saying, my song going number seven on Billboard. Crazy,
(42:05):
you know what I'm saying, Drake, you know yay Usher,
you name it like in mind you I was twenty
nineteen going twenty this time, yeah, and me facing artists,
it was so many pros, but at the same time,
it was so many guns and I'm facing the head on.
You know what I'm saying, I'm going through I feel
like I don'et went through a lot of shit in
(42:26):
my life, but you know, feeling like the world is
against me, feeling like I'm like, damn, I'm like, what
the fuck? I liked the fucking music, Like, what the
fuck's going on? So I'm kind of I was going
through one of the toughest songs in my life.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
You see them a lot happier now than the last
time I saw you, like, And I also feel like
wearing that mask was kind of like I don't even want.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
To Yeah, bro, that mask was just I don't want
your faces. I don't want to face the world.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yeah, it was one of those things. And we was
already wearing a mask, you know what I'm saying. It
was just one of It was just our thing. But
it kind of like I kept wearing them more because
it was just like man like.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
It's trying to be thrust into people's talking shit. Yeah
you know what I'm saying, Like you're just trying to
do what you do. Shit is successful, but then people
are talking shit is weird.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
It's what is fuck? It's what is fuck?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
And I'm not gonna care. I have to just soon
after the media. But like I said, a niecea she
came in my life and she's she was the one
I got to give her auto credit and I dedicate
everything to it because she came in my life and
she was just like, hey, oh nigga, I'm gonna be
completely honest with you, but like you looking at these tweets,
I ain't gonna help you with nothing. You know what
I'm saying, You're doing it to yourself and you the
(43:34):
reason why you're going in this doork path. She kind
of like made me look myself in the mirror and
tell myself like I'm still standing, I'm still shining. That's
the reason why I came up with this project. That's
why you hear all these love songs, because it brought
me out of that to be able to say, Bro,
I'm gonna make a love album. Brother, fucking shit.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
And I will say that even when you went on
tour before, you got a lot of great reviews about
your life, which is a big yeah. Sometimes we don't
focus on the love. It's message to be focused on
the criticism. Yes, and a lot of that criticism comes
from like people just trying.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
To be funny, and we're going back onto it. Oh
tell me about that.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
We're going back onto go crazy and we're finish. It's
gonna be like a live band. It's your whole. It's
going to be real. It's going to be really Angelo.
You gotta prop up. Yeah, I can't just say that.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Listen, when we reached out be don't put us, don't
put us in those things.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Okaylip servers in the building.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
You know what for a bas thank you so much
for joining us today. What is the tour starting?
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Do we know in October? Be there be squore, can't
pull up, come fun with your boy.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah, what what's the name of the tour?
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Still we don't.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Know if it's the name of the album. Can we
talk about the artwork too? Is that like a young
for bats?
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Now that's money of kids. But it's just so like
Gootter so good. Know, it's so real and it just
feels organic, and I just feel like that's how I'm
feeling right now. I'm still shining. Fuck y'all. You know
what I'm saying. Like I had to, you know, revamp myself.
You know what I'm saying. I feel like I was dark.
I feel like I was down. I feel like I
was sad as fucked and I had to just turn
(45:16):
myself up.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Just you know.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
I'm that because some people, some people would never believe
that you had the success that you had and was
feeling down about it. And that's a hard thing for
people to fall And they're like, oh, but you had
this big song, you were in top ten, you were
this that you had, you know, songs with like huge
stars and went on this tour and killed it. People
don't understand that when you're not prepared for the hate
(45:40):
sometimes that comes with that.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
It's a little period, you know, we got a proper.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
Did you have to like I know and see it
helped you a lot during that time, But did you
have to like get any type of like And I
know this is a great but like did you have
to get outside help like therapy? Have you have to
do other things to kind of try to help you cope?
Because it is sometimes not easy to go from being
like a care from Dallas.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
And then now everybody right, I was going to I
was going to do it. I was really going to
do it, And I think sometimes I still might do it,
you know, like just you know, it's not like I'm
just down bad and I needed oh. But sometimes it's
good to like know the answer, you know what I'm saying.
(46:32):
When you're when you're overthinking, you know, when you feel
a certain type of way, when you feel like, ah, bro,
like I just I can't take this right now, I'm
over stimulating, I'm over this. A lot of times we
do negative things and then the negative thing adds up
to another negative thing and now we just over everything
and now life were just feeling depressed. We just do
it to ourselves. So sometimes talking to someone that will
(46:56):
have to be a therapist, but talking to someone.
Speaker 4 (46:58):
And also learning how to deal with things. Like I
told you earlier, your response is all you can really control.
I can't control what you do, but what I can
control is my And so sometimes it's just those skills
to be able to be like, Okay, how can I
make sure that I react in a way where I'm
not disturbing my own peace?
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yes, you know, and my own happiness? Are you happy?
Speaker 3 (47:20):
I'm happy?
Speaker 1 (47:21):
But are you in love?
Speaker 3 (47:23):
You can't tell you.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I can tell, yeah, I just wanted you to say.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I guess what. I'm probably I ain't scared, scared to
play around, scared, of course it I'm probably in love.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
The whole album you still shining. This whole album is
about being in love.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
Yeah, I'm in love, and I feel like you know one,
folks ain't making.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
No love albums and they share out sure not.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
And you know I'm the youngest, youngest. Most Chinese letters come.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
By.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
Hate'll already it's cool, I don't you know? For we're
gonna drop this real quick, y'all. Please for you'll you.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
At your bag? Easy task. You know what I'm saying.
I don't know what you did. Lead in love and
lead by example, and they're gonna follow. I believe in you.
Speaker 4 (48:09):
If you have to break it down, like as far
as the physical aspect of a relationship where you're pleasing
your women, how important is like the physical aspect.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
Very important, super dup important. I think sometimes that is
a way to reassure that you are you know, for them,
you know, And a woman can tell when it's not real,
like when it's kind of like you're doing it just
to like make me feel Okay, come on, I can tell.
I know what you're doing. This is part of your
game and ship. But also a woman can really tell
(48:40):
because you're always on us.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
That's a fact. I'm glad you know that.
Speaker 5 (48:45):
Come on, Like I said, I grew up with always
you know.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
Yeah, So like you know y'all, y'all, y'all know and
you can. We can't fake it, you know. That's why
like a lot of times we look a lot, you know,
we drag mem a lot because we do a lot
of dumb shit because we think, y'all don't know what
y'all know?
Speaker 4 (49:06):
What is your future? When you think about your future,
what does that look like for you?
Speaker 3 (49:10):
I see me, I see me big. You know what
I'm saying. I'm gonna look back at this clip right here, man,
I see me just you know, I see me growing
my My only focus right now. I didn't do a
lot of things my first year, and my only focus
right now is consistently growing my fan base, my people,
(49:31):
you know, the people that likes my music. I'm not
I don't give a fuck about just having the world
right now, but just the people that like my music.
Consistently growing up, you know, and learning and getting a
listener every single day. That's all I care about. That's it.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
And aside from music and learning more. Yeah, aside from music,
where do you see yourself life goals?
Speaker 3 (49:49):
M as in? What what's a little more, a little
more like?
Speaker 4 (49:53):
Just aside from music, what are some other goals at
for Bataz on his bucket list?
Speaker 3 (50:00):
I want to I got a lot of a lot
of niggas in jail. I got a lot of niggas
just fucked up right now. I just want everybody to
do okay, you know, And I'm at a place where
I can't help everybody. You know what I'm saying, Like,
you know, my mama, you know, my mom is sick
right now. So I gotta take care of my mom,
(50:20):
make sure my mom is okay, So I like, damn,
like my niggas just went to jail. He got going
right here. You know what I'm saying, I want to
get him out. It's like do I do that or
do I.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Take care I take It's a lot of decisions, a
lot of decisions.
Speaker 3 (50:33):
So I want to be able to, like my one
of my goals is just make sure everybody's around me
that I love, that care for me. I want to
make sure that they they are good. I want to
put them in a position for them to be good,
so I won't be just giving them money so they
can have their own situation. That's legal, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
Yeah, that's how because it's never anything though, when you
start giving people money, it's a never a nigga dollar.
Speaker 3 (50:55):
You gonna end up minus fifty by the end of
the day.
Speaker 4 (50:58):
And you also could do that for like three years, honestly,
get people money, and then the one time you're like
right now is not good all that you're the worst
person on the planet.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
So you know, just that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Just know that, like whatever you got to do that
is immediate, being open and honest and also setting boundaries
is one of the most important things, and sometimes those
boundaries come from having people who are experts in that
field who can also be the ones that communicate like,
right now is not the time for this to happen.
But what we can do is this. But what we
can't do is that, Yeah, you know, you got to
(51:31):
take care of you first, because like you said, you
were in a bad space before. You don't want to
get back into that space. And when you were in
a bad space, it was you, like you know what
I'm saying, And so I think it's like you, your family,
your girl, your baby, you know what I'm saying, and
you'll have some kids.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Shout Alicia, I know you're looking at this. Bobby, I
love you. I'm coming home after this. I know they
got me up and this shit real quick. You know
what I'm saying, I'm coming home. You know what I'm saying.
I'm ready for a nice hot on meal. Got the
way for a nice little you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (52:25):

Speaker 3 (52:27):
