Speaker 1 (00:02):
Piece of the planet. I go by the name of Charlemagne,
the god with a T and T. Black future makers
presented by a T and T dreaming black. We're talking
with black creators who are shaping the now, the new,
and the next for culture. It's black to business, y'all.
My brother, d Knights, how are you king? Man? I'm
fantastic brother. You've got five seconds to tell your story.

(00:24):
Just five. What's the first line? A young black boy
from the Bronx that made it all the way to
I don't know, to the White House, you know what
I mean? Like, that's how I feel about myself. Man.
I was sitting back the other day and sitting outside
and I just became like a little emotionally because I
was I was looking at the side of my house,
which is just so random, and I thought back to

(00:46):
that kid who grew up sleeping on the sofa across
from my great grandmother. To note that that kid ended
up becoming who I am today. It was a bit over.
I'm getting choked up just thinking about it right now. Man. Yeah,
that's that's who I am. Man. What are You're not
very good at? I don't know. I just the one
thing that I learned with with DJ Scott Rock and
care Us back in the day. Like I remembered like

(01:07):
wanting to be seen as an equal to care as
you know. But I wasn't a good rapper like that
back in the day, you know. And Scott said to me,
but your job should be to learn how to do everything.
And I was like fifteen years old at the time.
So he taught me how to DJ. You taught me
how to produce. Chris taught me how to write, you know,
write lyrics, you know. Like, so I did everything. That's

(01:27):
just the way that I've always been in my life. Man, Like,
if it's something that you wanted, something you appreciate, you
should learn about the craft. So even with web development,
like I didn't. I didn't go to school for that.
I just picked up books and taught myself that and
then I ended up building some huge websites. But it's
just that's what I love. Man. For more real talk
