the Strip Club and it's no longer around, and I
(03:17):
was working a record Taylor show enough and they said
the dude that produced the record is in here. But

But Jazz, you are you are here.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're excited to hear you on the show.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Hey man, it's somebody with so much and you know
we got a lot to talk about. Yeah, Jesse, one
hundred and seventy million records.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's a few. Like I said, maybe it's it's a fruit.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It's a fruit that mixed up with the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It's it's a fur room, my doubt. You know, the
West Coast just comes and goes it. You know, it happens.
So it happened all right. Back back back to you.
You you go to l A, come to the A.
But still that when you start coming in with the
Suave House and the TEMs and a ball m j G.
(04:38):
We got some Houston in there too. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying to include Houston because I lived there for
a while. So how did how did it all come?
How did that all come about? With you coming back
and clicking up with the Suave House crew with Tony Draping,
Balling gen so before Tony and Tony Draper. Of course
I knew Ball and G just indirectly, but never personally.
I'd always see them, you know what I'm saying. They
were like they I would literally see then walking down
(05:00):
the street and to the studio. Maybe I don't know
where they were going, like because I would drive by
over there, and these guys they were young. I don't
need to think they had cars yet. They weren't Orange Mound,
you know what I mean. And I would be coming
down maybe Airways and something like that or I'm not
not sure what street it was, but I would see Ball.
(05:21):
I remember seeing Ball one time and I said, man,
that was eight Ball and his record was like I
think they had like mister Big, the first version of
you know what I'm saying it, And I was like,
I was like such a fan, you know what I'm saying.
And I've seen it. Look looking back like this Ball man,
you know what I'm saying, that's him. Yeah. Yeah, I
think he had his rhymes in his hand too. Yeah.
(05:42):
I was like, man, that man for the go drop
one boy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So you so from knowing Ball and g that's how
the hole you coming in with?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, no, actually it came from Tila. Tela was my friend.
Tela Tela was in a group calling Danger Species. It was.
It was two of them it was Tela and Cody
and they had performed at it and I think it
might have been a something on Bell Street, some on
Bell Street and they performed and they met. I was
always a fan of both of them, but Teyla he
(06:11):
was he was the one like you know, like the
Ice Community group. You know, he was just he just
he was just so unorthodox even now, like if you
hear Tila rhyme, it's like he don't. He can't just
directly say nothing, you know, say it then it's deep,
you know what I'm saying. So uh, he you know,
knew about me locally, and he had been in a
(06:34):
few studio sessions and and kind of walked in and
we kicked it a little bit and he heard my music,
you know what I mean it, I mean, it's impossible
kind of not to hear your music when you're in Memphis.
We were like, you know, uh, really stirring the pot
down there a long time ago, even around the Triple six,
you know what I'm saying, Even around play a Fly,
(06:55):
even Spanish Fly DJ Spanish Fly, you know what I'm saying.
And Rady Jay and.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No Tommy right the third he he even was buzzing here.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Hey, yeah, we go back, man, disc go hound Damn
remember this man, hey man, Howard Q. Howard Q used
to always let me wrap on the mic. Also R J.
Greow and the Memphis J Grew. I think R J.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Groove.
Speaker 4 (07:29):

Speaker 3 (07:29):
I think he's just you know, universally. I think he
was here in Atlanta though over there on over there
about off P Street. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So you got that with with with Ball and g Teyla,
the whole wave house.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yep. Teila was always like yo, you know when when
I get my situation, I'm a high. This was a
Memphis But then I moved. When I think around that time,
I still I think it was ninety three, like ninety four.
I ended up going to Atlanta. I went to Atlanta
to you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's when I met you around ninety four or ninety five.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That was in the beginning there, Yeah, the beginning you
have blond hand, yeah man, yeah, man, So so you
know when when that happened, you know, Teyla was like yo,
he called me one day. I was just like, hey,
it's time we're going back to Memphis. So I'm thinking
were going to Texas, but we went to Memphis, yeah,
to record, And I had been back to Memphis to
recording years well, like like about probably like two years.
(08:24):
But so we went back to Memphis to record, and
then that's what we record with Slice Tea. I had
the Funkaholics at the time, you know what I mean.
And uh, I went back to record and we just
did show enough and tied the ball. Boy. Let me
tell you something.

artist to sign to Electra, Yeah was the first rap No?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Was he?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The first rap art?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Wasn't the first one? I don't think the first no?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Because they had leaders in the new school, Yeah, bust
the rhymes and now bust the rhymes. But you was
signed over there as a solo artist.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yes, I was, but I wasn't a rap artist though.
How did they label?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I was just I don't know, but I was rapping,
a saying whatever you want to call.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, I was rapping a singer. You said my first single,
I didn't even I think I might have had a
rap verse on it, because that's when you was singing at.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Her, got jazz that shoulder, Come on jazz?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Is that one on them to jack the rapper days?
Speaker 4 (11:52):

Speaker 3 (11:53):
And he did that's even jazzy, that failing. See that
dude right there. He ain't around no.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
More you.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
He originally Oh boy before old Boy?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Then? That's just boy, young boy to grow up?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Man, was the first time that actually said that on
the record. First time I said old boy on the record,
that show signature that man, I don't know, it just
came bro.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't know, honestly, he was the first. That's that's
a that's a that's a snapper fact. If somebody can
find it.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
The first time that he said, oh boy on record.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You don't know, No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, that's what you said it like you was gonna
stir it up or something because Jack, because David Banner
says that he's the first to physically tag music at
a time with.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
The David, I can maybe with a sample, No, he
put beat just tag in my head.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Was the Yeah, but I knew you was early. I mean,
you know Teddy Roley is to tag his music, but
he didn't say how. Yeah, because I was just listening
to guys.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
That was him.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yes, because he said it on every song technically, yeah, yep, yep,
that's how you knew that was Teddy.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah, that was it was just without saying his name
weekend spend and not he Jazie said, I just proved
my point. It's a reflex yep, yep. Man, come on,
man likes. It's hard for us to really say we
was first to do anything. You know what I'm saying
it is because I'm sure James Brown was taking his
(13:42):
records too. Yeah, I mean you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Can we could go all day long?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Oh yeah, as far as tag yeah, yeah, you know,
because because you had to identified, you have to be
able to identify it.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So let's you know, during this time, we got jazz
for out this time with legend j we gonna jump
around the whole lot of different stuff. And why is
on my mind because I just I was reading something
the other day and I remember the first time I
met Sierra. It was with you all with you know
and the noon time crew. Okay, give me the story
(14:17):
on how when you first saw Sierra Okay, and you said,
oh she is star. What you said, I'm sorry this
girl I sawry darkest girl with t A t A
brought me the dark shout out.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
The t A. Yeah. Well, actually I was working at
Dark and in the little cubby hole in the little
wait hold on, that gave me a closet.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Just kidding, I'm just kid, the one that allay in
the back.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No, I like that little room. And I was right
there as soon as you come to the left to
the door the hard right over there over there, the
little room right there by the restaurant. I know exactly
that little that little room you got through that door
that Yeah, I was in there. Now I was not.
Actually I love that room. Actually it was comfortable, you
know what I'm saying. But I was working in there,
(15:16):
and uh, one day he was like, man, you need
to have your own artists you need to have your
own artists.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I think, take a look at this girl that t
A got, you know, And I said, I bet And
it was three girls, you know what I'm saying. He
was like, check out the one, that one right there,
and uh, she was doing her thing. I don't think
all the rest of the girls knew that he was.
You know, it was really separated, you know what I'm saying.
But you know, she did that thing. And I was like, oh,
(15:43):
she a start. I couldn't, like, I couldn't even the
other girls weren't they just you know, you just you
know what I mean, You're honing in on that one.
And and she was just the one, yall, she was
the one man. How many records? How many records? Soul?
Later on the Goodies album, I think it's like because
I got to accounts, I got to play at home
for that how many many? I just got a plaque?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You got one for six and ain't for six. It's
it's a it's a platinum plat.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It might be five or three. When I go home,
I'm gonna look at Yeah, I gotta get mine. I
got to get my I'm gonna call a jewelry box.

so we jump on the through and I need you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We were getting all so you and c C to
the you and see her right now, what's your relationship?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Like? It's great, it's great, it's great. I mean it
was a little you know, distant you know what I'm
saying for a while. Why I get like that? Uh,
just legal things, I mean I think, you know, and
just just growing pains. I believe because at one point,
artists just get to that point where where they want
to find, you know, something else.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
When she at one point kind of huge y'all of
like doing well like most areists say, taking money or
something unscrupulous.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Uh, at some point probably that was probably something somebody else.
I ain't gonna say who. You know what I'm saying
say who?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, but no with I ain't read nobody out with CC.
It was so it was some legal stuff that made
y'all yeah, yeah, because I mean, my hands is not
on all the money. I'm I'm the producer, the executive producer,
and you know what I mean. So so I don't
have my hands on I didn't have my hand back then.
I didn't have my hands on the artists like I
should have. You know what I'm saying, and I and
(17:41):
I can, I can honestly say that, and then people.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Be like, man, us not wrong. I was like, man,
she she was young, and so was I. That was
my first artist. She was eighteen years old, you know
what I'm saying, and growing into nineteen probably would you know, uh,
at the run the end of the project. But I
mean I'm saying, I'm like a kid. You know, how
do you expect her to make, you know, a decision?
(18:03):
You know, like you know what I mean that futuristic
what you know, being the first time and having so
many people in her ear, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I remember pim C was kind of talking to like
like you should get what happened.

been talking with the city councilmen and all of those guys,
and it was like, man, you know, you're the one
of the first ones that came through and got everybody's numbers.
You know what I'm saying. It was like, man, I
see I said, yeah, because I'm you know, I don't
want to be proactive. I want to be proactive because
(21:40):
I really haven't done my job in the city as
a citizen to myself, to me, you know what I mean.
Think so I have as far as you know, for
my family and all of that. But that's like self,
that's self preservation. That ain't really that that wasn't really
for everybody. In in turnity does bless a lot of
people because you end up employing people, You get people
(22:01):
jobs and stuff like that, and you you judge families
all the time, and and you just never know some
of the people you you you don't give game too,
and it elevates them.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
And you know what I mean, So many people gonna
say because a lot of events that I go to
where it's a new artist or listening or album release party,
Jazzy Faye being there and I'm and this is after
you leave and I'm talking with this artist and they're saying,
Jazzy Fay was here, and.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He was he liked my ship.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
He told me keep going like that is the flowers.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's everything sees that you're planning, you're inspiring because that
your presence alone changed the lives of somebody and they made.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Them because some of these kids, man be on the
brink of suicide. Man, they be, they be, you know,
ready to go backwards, you know what I mean. They're
ready to go like like crash out, they whatever, and
one kind word sometimes will take somebody so far, you know,
because sometimes when I see kids there and getting frustrated
doing in the music, you know I'm doing creating, I'm like,
(23:01):
come on, man, let's go somewhere and just get some information.
Because he's like, what do you mean, get some information?
Just come with me, and when we come back, we
might go touch, We might go to emergency, you.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
We might go anywhere, go to a club, go to
a couple of spots, go to the restaurant, go and
kick it at another studio, go somewhere else to see
what everybody else doing. Creating somebody inspire you and take
you to pull up on Neo or something, somebody that
you always want to be around, and see how they
how they were. It's like, man, we ain't gonna work tonight,
it's too late tomorrow. The next day, I'm so expired.
They're not saying that, but the music is saying that.
(23:37):
You know what I'm saying, because of the information you
have to you have to reload, you have to re
you have to record. You know, you have to what
do you call it repackage? You know what I'm saying. Recalibrate. Yeah,
recalibration is the word I was looking for. And then
repackage and resale, repackaging, reselling is something that everybody does.
Duncan Donuts don't even promote donuts no more. They promote coffee.
(24:01):
If you know, the logo is a coffee cup. What
do you do?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And I want you to talk to the Oidens and
to me and new face about this because you are
consistently always and I said this at the beginning of
the show, you always got good energy. You always you know,
what do you do? What are some things that you do?
I mean, do you meditate, yoga? What are some things
you do? Because you always I mean, I know you
have your bad days. I see you every day, right,
(24:26):
but I'm just saying when I see you and you
always you seem to have some very positive energy.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Mind. You know one thing that that that you're not
so famous dude in my town. He really he told me,
he was like, man, you know what you gotta do.
He said, Man, when you go out there, you got
to put your face on. You got to put your
game face on. You got to put your your the
thing that you want people to most know about you.
(24:54):
You put that on, and whatever you put on, that's
what's gonna come back to you. And I always remember
that whenever I you're ready to go outside, and then
people always ask me, I do you ever get tired
of that people coming up to you, talk to you.
I say, yeah, it could be nothing, it could be
absolutely nothing. You get tired of people taking pictures of you?
I say, yeah, but it could be nothing. It could
be nothing. But would I give it out? I always
(25:17):
get it back. And I notice if I lay back
and then people don't. It's like the sun. People react
to the sun. When the sun come out eighty five
degrees tomorrow, what's gonna happen. People go just to they
gonna know they're gonna be everywhere. Yeah, like roaches. Yeah
in Atlanta. Everybody gonna be outside, and everybody gonna be
(25:38):
half dressed. They do that anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Right now, cold outside.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah. But but but you know, you give what you get.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And I and I
choose to give joy and love and we appreciate you
and excitement will appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Mind.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
One thing about coming in and introducing myself, right, I
never knew that I was branding myself. I never knew
all the time that I was branding myself. I went
to a boys club, boys and girls club, and somebody
took I can't remember who took me some years back,
but they were asking me. They were asking all the kids,
(26:28):
what do you think Jazzy Fay does what he and
and there's like five or six of them had all
different answers, but they were all right, WHOA? They were
all right, WHOA. It's like Jazzy is a brand ambassador.
He jumps in videos, he does that. Jazzy makes music.
Then he comes from a musical family. They'd be like
doing their little homework, is it? Jazzy just he as artists,
(26:51):
He produces artists. He got artists, and he writes for artists.
Da da. Jazzy is like a personality. He goes out,
promotes parties and all true. I need to write all
this stuff down.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
So what happened when the one kids still and say, man,
Jase be pivot holes and slimmon caw like those. What
did you say then, he said, he he says, that's
oh boy, that's the old he said, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Heard and.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Here he said, he said this sleep. You know he
got thirty two cream to seal a one shu shut shot.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
And about wanting about forty eight gated.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Shoes, I'm coming about, not forty eight forty eight years
because it's tools.

just look forward to going in the studio with.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Rest. And so it was Allia that was That was
a lot of fun, you know what I mean? That
was a lot of fun because she just made it
so light. You know, you go in there and you
work with somebody and it ain't like work. It ain't
like work. It's just like pet names and just acting,
just acting crazy, and everything got something else attached to it.

But Jazz, you are you are here.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're excited to hear you on the show.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Hey man, it's somebody with so much and you know
we got a lot to talk about. Yeah, Jesse, one
hundred and seventy million records.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's a few. Like I said, maybe it's it's a fruit.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It's a fruit that mixed up with the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It's it's a fur room, my doubt. You know, the
West Coast just comes and goes it. You know, it happens.
So it happened all right. Back back back to you.
You you go to l A, come to the A.
But still that when you start coming in with the
Suave House and the TEMs and a ball m j G.
(04:38):
We got some Houston in there too. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying to include Houston because I lived there for
a while. So how did how did it all come?
How did that all come about? With you coming back
and clicking up with the Suave House crew with Tony Draping,
Balling gen so before Tony and Tony Draper. Of course
I knew Ball and G just indirectly, but never personally.
I'd always see them, you know what I'm saying. They
were like they I would literally see then walking down
(05:00):
the street and to the studio. Maybe I don't know
where they were going, like because I would drive by
over there, and these guys they were young. I don't
need to think they had cars yet. They weren't Orange Mound,
you know what I mean. And I would be coming
down maybe Airways and something like that or I'm not
not sure what street it was, but I would see Ball.
(05:21):
I remember seeing Ball one time and I said, man,
that was eight Ball and his record was like I
think they had like mister Big, the first version of
you know what I'm saying it, And I was like,
I was like such a fan, you know what I'm saying.
And I've seen it. Look looking back like this Ball man,
you know what I'm saying, that's him. Yeah. Yeah, I
think he had his rhymes in his hand too. Yeah.
(05:42):
I was like, man, that man for the go drop
one boy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So you so from knowing Ball and g that's how
the hole you coming in with?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, no, actually it came from Tila. Tela was my friend.
Tela Tela was in a group calling Danger Species. It was.
It was two of them it was Tela and Cody
and they had performed at it and I think it
might have been a something on Bell Street, some on
Bell Street and they performed and they met. I was
always a fan of both of them, but Teyla he
(06:11):
was he was the one like you know, like the
Ice Community group. You know, he was just he just
he was just so unorthodox even now, like if you
hear Tila rhyme, it's like he don't. He can't just
directly say nothing, you know, say it then it's deep,
you know what I'm saying. So uh, he you know,
knew about me locally, and he had been in a
(06:34):
few studio sessions and and kind of walked in and
we kicked it a little bit and he heard my music,
you know what I mean it, I mean, it's impossible
kind of not to hear your music when you're in Memphis.
We were like, you know, uh, really stirring the pot
down there a long time ago, even around the Triple six,
you know what I'm saying, Even around play a Fly,
(06:55):
even Spanish Fly DJ Spanish Fly, you know what I'm saying.
And Rady Jay and.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No Tommy right the third he he even was buzzing here.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Hey, yeah, we go back, man, disc go hound Damn
remember this man, hey man, Howard Q. Howard Q used
to always let me wrap on the mic. Also R J.
Greow and the Memphis J Grew. I think R J.
(07:24):
Grew worked with iHeart on the praise side.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
In the station and j R J.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Groove.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I think he's just you know, universally. I think he
was here in Atlanta though over there on over there
about off P Street. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So you got that with with with Ball and g Teyla,
the whole wave house.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yep. Teila was always like yo, you know when when
I get my situation, I'm a high. This was a
Memphis But then I moved. When I think around that time,
I still I think it was ninety three, like ninety four.
I ended up going to Atlanta. I went to Atlanta
to you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's when I met you around ninety four or ninety five.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That was in the beginning there, Yeah, the beginning you
have blond hand, yeah man, yeah, man, So so you
know when when that happened, you know, Teyla was like yo,
he called me one day. I was just like, hey,
it's time we're going back to Memphis. So I'm thinking
were going to Texas, but we went to Memphis, yeah,
to record, And I had been back to Memphis to
recording years well, like like about probably like two years.
(08:24):
But so we went back to Memphis to record, and
then that's what we record with Slice Tea. I had
the Funkaholics at the time, you know what I mean.
And uh, I went back to record and we just
did show enough and tied the ball. Boy. Let me
tell you something.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
The first rap art?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Wasn't the first one? I don't think the first no?

Because they had leaders in the new school, Yeah, bust
the rhymes and now bust the rhymes. But you was
signed over there as a solo artist.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yes, I was, but I wasn't a rap artist though.

that show signature that man, I don't know, it just
came bro.
Speaker 3 (12:25):

a that's a that's a snapper fact. If somebody can
find it.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
The first time that he said, oh boy on record.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You don't know, No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:36):

a time with.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
The David, I can maybe with a sample, No, he
put beat just tag in my head.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Was the Yeah, but I knew you was early. I mean,
you know Teddy Roley is to tag his music, but
he didn't say how. Yeah, because I was just listening
to guys.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
That was him.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yes, because he said it on every song technically, yeah, yep, yep,
that's how you knew that was Teddy.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah, that was it was just without saying his name
weekend spend and not he Jazie said, I just proved
my point. It's a reflex yep, yep. Man, come on,
man likes. It's hard for us to really say we
was first to do anything. You know what I'm saying
it is because I'm sure James Brown was taking his
(13:42):
records too. Yeah, I mean you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (13:45):

Speaker 3 (14:28):
The t A. Yeah. Well, actually I was working at
Dark and in the little cubby hole in the little
wait hold on, that gave me a closet.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Just kidding, I'm just kid, the one that allay in
the back.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No, I like that little room. And I was right
there as soon as you come to the left to
the door the hard right over there over there, the
little room right there by the restaurant. I know exactly
that little that little room you got through that door
that Yeah, I was in there. Now I was not.
Actually I love that room. Actually it was comfortable, you
know what I'm saying. But I was working in there,
(15:16):
and uh, one day he was like, man, you need
to have your own artists you need to have your
own artists.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I think, take a look at this girl that t
A got, you know, And I said, I bet And
it was three girls, you know what I'm saying. He
was like, check out the one, that one right there,
and uh, she was doing her thing. I don't think
all the rest of the girls knew that he was.
You know, it was really separated, you know what I'm saying.
But you know, she did that thing. And I was like, oh,
(15:43):
she a start. I couldn't, like, I couldn't even the
other girls weren't they just you know, you just you
know what I mean, You're honing in on that one.
And and she was just the one, yall, she was
the one man. How many records? How many records? Soul?
Later on the Goodies album, I think it's like because
I got to accounts, I got to play at home
for that how many many? I just got a plaque?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You got one for six and ain't for six. It's
it's a it's a platinum plat.

We were getting all so you and c C to
the you and see her right now, what's your relationship?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Like? It's great, it's great, it's great. I mean it
was a little you know, distant you know what I'm
saying for a while. Why I get like that? Uh,
just legal things, I mean I think, you know, and
just just growing pains. I believe because at one point,
artists just get to that point where where they want
to find, you know, something else.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
When she at one point kind of huge y'all of
like doing well like most areists say, taking money or
something unscrupulous.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Uh, at some point probably that was probably something somebody else.
I ain't gonna say who. You know what I'm saying
say who?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, but no with I ain't read nobody out with CC.
It was so it was some legal stuff that made
y'all yeah, yeah, because I mean, my hands is not
on all the money. I'm I'm the producer, the executive producer,
and you know what I mean. So so I don't
have my hands on I didn't have my hand back then.
I didn't have my hands on the artists like I
should have. You know what I'm saying, and I and
(17:41):
I can, I can honestly say that, and then people.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Be like, man, us not wrong. I was like, man,
she she was young, and so was I. That was
my first artist. She was eighteen years old, you know
what I'm saying, and growing into nineteen probably would you know, uh,
at the run the end of the project. But I
mean I'm saying, I'm like a kid. You know, how
do you expect her to make, you know, a decision?
(18:03):
You know, like you know what I mean that futuristic
what you know, being the first time and having so
many people in her ear, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I remember pim C was kind of talking to like

in my heart.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Congratulations on that jet.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Thank you brother. And you know it's crazy because a
lot of people send me videos, but I was like,
this one right here just resonates, and I'm not from
the post and have nobody just just try to gravitate
to nothing else in particular. I'll save him for next year,
you know what I'm saying. I'll save them all for
next year, archived him and save them off for next year.
She's the only one that really need to say something
(20:32):
right now, you know what I'm saying, Because people always
got something to say, you know what I'm saying, So
they have to know what she got to say, you know,
what I'm saying. So let me you walking around with
somebody they don't think of That day was long overdue, man.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And when they went, when it happened and I was dead,
I was thinking, like, damn, Jesse fake should you know not?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
That got his own time? Amen of that bro, God
got his own time. And then we can speed it up.
We can try to slow it down. We can. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, but what I've learned to do jazz and look,
we're gonna get very Look I've learned the trust this time. Yeah,
because we go through life sometimes, like you said, we
we want to do things on our own and with
we know, got to understand.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I flesh it, man, trust God. Amen.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
At the end of the day with girlless man, you
got your day.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Man, it is well deserved. Congratulations, thank you, thank you,
gratulation sir. And and you know, we've been talking. I've
been talking with the city councilmen and all of those guys,
and it was like, man, you know, you're the one
of the first ones that came through and got everybody's numbers.
You know what I'm saying. It was like, man, I
see I said, yeah, because I'm you know, I don't
want to be proactive. I want to be proactive because
(21:40):
I really haven't done my job in the city as
a citizen to myself, to me, you know what I mean.
Think so I have as far as you know, for
my family and all of that. But that's like self,
that's self preservation. That ain't really that that wasn't really
for everybody. In in turnity does bless a lot of
people because you end up employing people, You get people
(22:01):
jobs and stuff like that, and you you judge families
all the time, and and you just never know some
of the people you you you don't give game too,
and it elevates them.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
And you know what I mean, So many people gonna
say because a lot of events that I go to
where it's a new artist or listening or album release party,
Jazzy Faye being there and I'm and this is after
you leave and I'm talking with this artist and they're saying,
Jazzy Fay was here, and.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He was he liked my ship.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
He told me keep going like that is the flowers.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's everything sees that you're planning, you're inspiring because that
your presence alone changed the lives of somebody and they made.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Them because some of these kids, man be on the
brink of suicide. Man, they be, they be, you know,
ready to go backwards, you know what I mean. They're
ready to go like like crash out, they whatever, and
one kind word sometimes will take somebody so far, you know,
because sometimes when I see kids there and getting frustrated
doing in the music, you know I'm doing creating, I'm like,
(23:01):
come on, man, let's go somewhere and just get some information.
Because he's like, what do you mean, get some information?
Just come with me, and when we come back, we
might go touch, We might go to emergency, you.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
We might go anywhere, go to a club, go to
a couple of spots, go to the restaurant, go and
kick it at another studio, go somewhere else to see
what everybody else doing. Creating somebody inspire you and take
you to pull up on Neo or something, somebody that
you always want to be around, and see how they
how they were. It's like, man, we ain't gonna work tonight,
it's too late tomorrow. The next day, I'm so expired.
They're not saying that, but the music is saying that.
(23:37):
You know what I'm saying, because of the information you
have to you have to reload, you have to re
you have to record. You know, you have to what
do you call it repackage? You know what I'm saying. Recalibrate. Yeah,
recalibration is the word I was looking for. And then
repackage and resale, repackaging, reselling is something that everybody does.
Duncan Donuts don't even promote donuts no more. They promote coffee.
(24:01):
If you know, the logo is a coffee cup. What
do you do?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And I want you to talk to the Oidens and
to me and new face about this because you are
consistently always and I said this at the beginning of
the show, you always got good energy. You always you know,
what do you do? What are some things that you do?
I mean, do you meditate, yoga? What are some things
you do? Because you always I mean, I know you
have your bad days. I see you every day, right,
(24:26):
but I'm just saying when I see you and you
always you seem to have some very positive energy.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Mind. You know one thing that that that you're not
so famous dude in my town. He really he told me,
he was like, man, you know what you gotta do.
He said, Man, when you go out there, you got
to put your face on. You got to put your
game face on. You got to put your your the
thing that you want people to most know about you.
(24:54):
You put that on, and whatever you put on, that's
what's gonna come back to you. And I always remember
that whenever I you're ready to go outside, and then
people always ask me, I do you ever get tired
of that people coming up to you, talk to you.
I say, yeah, it could be nothing, it could be
absolutely nothing. You get tired of people taking pictures of you?
I say, yeah, but it could be nothing. It could
be nothing. But would I give it out? I always
(25:17):
get it back. And I notice if I lay back
and then people don't. It's like the sun. People react
to the sun. When the sun come out eighty five
degrees tomorrow, what's gonna happen. People go just to they
gonna know they're gonna be everywhere. Yeah, like roaches. Yeah
in Atlanta. Everybody gonna be outside, and everybody gonna be
(25:38):
half dressed. They do that anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Right now, cold outside.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah. But but but you know, you give what you get.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And I and I
choose to give joy and love and we appreciate you
and excitement will appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Mind.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
One thing about coming in and introducing myself, right, I
never knew that I was branding myself. I never knew
all the time that I was branding myself. I went
to a boys club, boys and girls club, and somebody
took I can't remember who took me some years back,
but they were asking me. They were asking all the kids,
(26:28):
what do you think Jazzy Fay does what he and
and there's like five or six of them had all
different answers, but they were all right, WHOA? They were
all right, WHOA. It's like Jazzy is a brand ambassador.
He jumps in videos, he does that. Jazzy makes music.
Then he comes from a musical family. They'd be like
doing their little homework, is it? Jazzy just he as artists,
(26:51):
He produces artists. He got artists, and he writes for artists.
Da da. Jazzy is like a personality. He goes out,
promotes parties and all true. I need to write all
this stuff down.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
So what happened when the one kids still and say, man,
Jase be pivot holes and slimmon caw like those. What
did you say then, he said, he he says, that's
oh boy, that's the old he said, oh boy.
Speaker 3 (27:17):

word bigger than a bunch, which is Okay, You've done

just look forward to going in the studio with.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Rest. And so it was Allia that was That was
a lot of fun, you know what I mean? That
was a lot of fun because she just made it
so light. You know, you go in there and you
work with somebody and it ain't like work. It ain't
like work. It's just like pet names and just acting,
just acting crazy, and everything got something else attached to it.

old folks, you know what I mean. You could tellt
