first album, The eighteenth Day, and it's a song called
ninety eight. I can never tell people I'm not my
age because I have a whole record called ninety eight
year that maybe and yes it did his see this
is why it's kind of why I'm here, like you know,
like it's one of the ones like that joining them

(19:42):
heard and loved when I met them and they were like,
you know, she's she's really doing it, taking off or
crazy going for a while seventeen years in the US,
I'm doing this since it came.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
So was it a feeling of I think you kind
of said, I just want to make sure. Was it
a feeling of I did all I could do here.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah it worked.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
I didn't. I didn't hit the charts. I did like
this my ceiling, let me go ahead.

Speaker 8 (20:12):
So it really was speaking on it, like what is
the ceiling in London looked like? When you're saying all right,
I got to go to another country to succeed more.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
All right.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
So the short version of the long version of my
story is I started as or River, worked in a
record shop, did every single thing you could possibly think
of to like know how to be an independent artist
right wing, worked in a video company that had to
make music videos, worked in a record store, learn about
virayl on, how to sell your vinyl and what. So

(20:41):
I my own label put out all my mixtapes, sold
five thousand myself and a month back to when I
went to labels first and said hey, I'm an artist.
I got easternmos. They were like, uh, that's cute, and
I was like cool. So when I sold it, did
my thing came back with some numbers and they were like, well,
tell me more. Right, caught the eye of another A

(21:03):
and R who was like, I'm doing a deal. When
you signed it was my first artist went back to
the same label. I was like and they ended up
signing me, so my own label, by this label, let's
do the deal. Did the deal before I went. And
I don't know if this is a story that people
might know. Before I went and signed, I was recording

(21:23):
all the time. I would just put out my own money,
go get my things done. I went to America a
few times. I came to LA a few times and
I would recorded like corrupt and a bunch of like
oh geez, James the barge and things like that, go back.
I was getting it done. The second or third time
I came back out to record, I bumped into Kanye
and John. It's maybe like two thousand and two, and

(21:48):
Kanye and told him I want to meet John because
I heard John on the music on his mixtapes. So John,
I ended up going to the studio they signed me.
It was a lot of prayer in that entire period,
from writing a talk about it and I'm sure sure right,
I met John ask him to be on a record
that I had written called Hey Girl. It was my

(22:08):
first album. I took back and this label wanted to
sign right. They were like, after this record comes out.
My first two singles three in ninety eight, way above
what they thought it was going to do, I say
to them, So John's like, I'll work with you on
the next album. I stay cool, take it to the label,
like John's going to welcome me. At this point, Johnny
is like Grammy Award winning get lifted. He's taking me

(22:31):
on the road with then they know, just as a
team like legend. So but he's he's working, but he's
really co signing everything as far as the UK and
taking me on the road. And no American artists or

(22:53):
big artists has done that for an artist that was
still building. So I take the take the music here.
Then I'm I'm like, I started this new album, John,
that just don't help me? Does that produce it? And
I says to me who And I said.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Let me go?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
And that's in London.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
This is London. I still let me go. Let me
go please.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I got to go.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Stop everything pretty much. I got Union Jack right.

Speaker 14 (23:24):
I'm like, John Leon is gonna help her? She said too, Lennon,
bro John D thinks doesn't know.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
She doesn't know here, so this is working with John.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Lennon's crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
That Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I was like, you guys don't get it.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
I have to go.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
So they didn't have a problem, then you go. They did.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
They took three years to figure that deal out there
they did. When we decided, when was like pretty much
don't let her go. It really was. It took a
bunch of prayers and a good lawyer, me sitting on
his like on his phone every day like what do

(24:19):
we hear back, you know, and continuing to record, and
then like one night came and like yeah, come into
her and signed the deal. I was like okay, and
pretty much maybe like six months or four months after that,
I moved. I sold all my bits at the house,
sold on my shoes, on my thing, because I feel
like this, if you can get it one time, you

(24:40):
can get it again. So I needed money. It was
it was I was really working off my own steam
making sure that I could record and keep it going.
And it took three years. So in between my the
last major hit maybe two thousand and four in the
UK two thousand and six seven was when I moved,
and it was just like there was not another check coming.
Then it was me doing shows, trying to and it

(25:03):
was wild time. So sold on my ship, left, came
over here and started again, went crazy and worked my
awes yeah, yeah, working ever since.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Beautiful that's beautiful. Yeah you came in with the with
the Kanye coach home and.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, but they seen me working.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
You know you're from so you knew you was you
was like, I know I can pop because I popped
right from And that's a big thing. I think in
anything making it, you got to make it wherever you're
from all at least be able to rock this before
you go trying to take something else.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
So confidence, how was that connected? Like even though you
popping in the UK, how was you able to come.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
On here and make those connections with Kanye and well,
I say signed me. Well again, I know them from
I was over there, so we were friends and we
were cool and I understood John And when I was
in London was coming over there touring all the time,
John tanking the road with.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Him because they need artists from the country.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Okay, so it's a work ethic thing. I think. You know,
I wasn't going to just hang out with was like,
I was like, come on with me, I love.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
You.

Speaker 8 (26:26):
Knowing there with the with the mindset of saying like
I'm popping here and I know you need is going roll,
but not knowing I ain't gonna make.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
That connection when I go to no, we're all fans
of music. To you go, I look at it like that.
I'm a big fan of music. If you're doing great
music and the things sounds good, I want to be involved,
you know, especially if you want me to be involved,
I'm gonna be involved. And there was like a kinship.
There was like a thing. He would be like, how
do you get these melodies? And I'd be like, but
you say the word so well. So we would studying
each other and I think that was like a great

(26:56):
musical thing at the time.

Speaker 6 (26:59):
So you said you start that rapping, though, when did
you like kind of transition to singing or did you
always throw the melodies in the music.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I sang all the time half my first album, Miss
Singing and Rapping the first song people heard from me.
And I think how it became known on the scene
out there was from rapping because it was easy to
do open mic rapping than do open mic singing. Good
every thing right, Yeah, everyone was like, oh gosh, she's
really I was like, yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
So when when did you feel like you were gaining
some momentum in America? Because that's what you know like think,
you come from another country and you go somewhere and
it's already a tough crowd, and now when did you
start to feel like, Okay, now it's working out, Like
I'm getting somewhere.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
With this and this is going to sound crazy. It
wasn't with American Boy, right, It wasn't. It was with
thank You.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
It was with thank You.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
When I would go out, I went out on the
road to promote thank You, and I would do all
of the different spaces and all the different venues and
all the venues I missed the first go round and
they would be singing album cuts but me, and then
they would be into thank You so hard. I was like,
I'm so sorry you guys like to shrek it up.
I understand why you like it, but like, I'm so
sorry you're coming through the art because I was going

(28:15):
through it too. It's like, but that was when I
felt like, oh no, no, people fuck with me.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
You go and do it. Help them get through it though.

Speaker 8 (28:26):
Sometimes you're giving off game or they was like I
wouldn't never looked at it like that.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Thank You.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Your music helped me.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
It was a lot.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
It was a lot of that that happened so and
then people like yesterday, was it two or three days ago?
We was at the Apollo and this lady came up
to me and she was like yes, like he got
me through and I was like, which one. So she
looked like she was from the West Indies, so I'm
thinking she's gonna say come over, and she was like
conqueror and she almost stood there and cried at me,

(28:52):
and I was like, please don't crab, please don't, please
don't on my face. My face is being ready to
go on stage. I understand that she really stood there
and was like thank you. She had a whole moment
like those moments let me know, Yeah, you're doing the
right thing.

Speaker 7 (29:09):
Come over hard though too. Yeah, that's when it was,
and that's when I felt like it was going crazy
with the reggae on the island. Melodies and beats was
going crazy.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
At that time. Your ship just came in like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
I like to take it back, like what what made
you want to pick up a mic? Like what made
you want to tap into that? Because some people who
just you got people to do. You got some people
who've been on a baby.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, I mean first time I remember singing, I was
maybe seven. Second time I remember singing, I was maybe twelve.
I say that two different ways. So the first time
I remember singing, sitting at church, I was seven. I
was scared out with that's holding the tone right. Second
time they asked me to sing my little brother and compete.

(30:00):
You know, he was trying to sing and I was
singing it with him, and they were like this is
really you know, they clapping shit, and I was like
it wasn't terrible. I could do this. As I got older,
it became a thing of now, this makes me feel
joy inside, Like I could go sit in a room
for hours and dissect every harmony and look at them
like Carlos flowing around the room and you know that

(30:20):
kind of thing, and I don't care, don't talk to me.
I'm ready off there, like do do do do do
do do? Like my family's like which she's upstairs, and
I would be in my joy bag for like a
week doing that ship you know, after school, jolt to
see whatever who was popping at the time, fully focused

(30:42):
and I was like, this is this is what I'm
gonna do. This is I think I'm gonna do this
and then throwing it further back remember being three and
watching Bob Marley on TV my parents and he was
performing Zimbabwe at the Rainbow Yeah, and so old DVD
or thing you I watched, but that performance he was

(31:05):
like he was in the spirit, right, he was like no,
he was like he was he had on his he
had we had a green jeans show on he had, yeah,
and he was like he was singing Zimbabwe ice clothed
wild And I remember being three thinking that's it, and

(31:26):
I feel like that was the beginning to start for me.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
What was the what was your house like?

Speaker 6 (31:31):
Because you know, everybody got up on Saturday mornings and
was cleaning up, So what was the you grew up on?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
We did that. We had Mary, of course, we had
n some One. We had every lovers, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor,
all of that, right, you had freaking Stevie and Luci
Van Dress and all of that. And then because we
were young kids in London and we want to hear
pop music, yeas dran Juran, it's it's you know, of

(32:00):
them mixed up in it too. That was Meiling, Kim Obscure,
Aies groups and then the Pope, so we had it
all mixed up. But My parents were like, you're gonna
know music. You're gonna know soul music, and you're gonna
know African music, and you're gonna know reggae, and that's
all that's what you do. So that's what sounds like.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
That's how you build a range man, That's how you
build a.

Speaker 11 (32:24):
Real artist, because it's like you don't pull You're pull
them from everything you've ever listened to, the shows.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Medi in the house, bro, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (32:59):
And it went from tr little booty smoking Northful you know,
then it goes to the basis like that.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
But my start offs pop off.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
I think Michael Jackson was like our biggest star.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
So it was like, you're gonna listen to anything music,
at least start with him.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Listen. Michael was a stafpour in our family.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, you weren't getting away from.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
He's around the world. That's what say this more stuff
that's similar my.

Speaker 8 (33:23):
Household, Michael Jackson, Haylen Wet watch everything.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
On Sunday.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
You don't hear no rep nowhere, like on all the
stations they just played like gospel they got and the
like to the Blue they started playing the blues. So
but like that, it wasn't you know like as we're
growing up and we're getting outside more and more and more,
it just became.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Like even it's just something that we did too. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
You just played the call him the oldest, Just play
the oldest Sunday. You know my parents, but you know
we were just like we don't from in Mississippi is
North Mississippi, right, So the Old head Station come in
crystal clear coming in. I'm talking about like you get
no standing.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
It's like it's a CD.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
It might cut in and out, but the Old Head
Station coming so quick, come on man, and we uh
where I grew up, right outside of Memphis. So we
had Isaac Hayes on Sunday, Isaac Bubbaly hay. He was
like it's hay I butter Soul Sundays and he was
just played none but like school nomb but the old schools.

Speaker 11 (34:34):
Bro because I know when I used to wrap my hunty,
you know, we all had liked one three one on that.

Speaker 8 (34:39):
But when I get in my hunt cut, I would say,
my new more music than anybody, like out of my
mama and my daddy could My mama didn't kill just keep.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
It on, want to stark. She didn't want to catch.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
Because you've never heard before, and that was moving out
the wait for Jesus man what.

Speaker 8 (35:13):
But when I get called with my Auntie, she put
it on one on four point one, that's the old
school shape.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
That's when I started hearing all the brother loandro, who
that is that woman'll be playing into her car?

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I'm like, aunt like, who is it?

Speaker 8 (35:31):
So I wasn't the interne when we didn't have accents
like that, so it was like I would have to
pick back.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Up on him. When I hear it again, I was
like whatever party was listening to.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
We went through a whole here where like my parents
what super gospel?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
All right?

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I went to church and my mom and that throughout
my mom throughout her.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
I just to this day she threw the.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
She thought it was because it was secular my feelings
geese and it was this about of too, like I
still dream about that because I wanted it when I
grew up anyhow, and she they got rid of all
the specular music in the house and so it was gospel.
Going to my auntie's house, she would play Luca Stevie

(36:15):
Alley's on them.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
I don't know it.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
What was her thing? Like her guy, she loved that.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Man.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
It was crazy.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
But see when you was thinking about it though, like
growing up, like when we were kids, kids like the
ages generation early nineties, like black people used to take
pride in their music collection.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
But you used to have to have a music collection
to have one right who you were. And then the
other day, the other thing I noticed is I listened
to what my parents was listening to now, like the ship.
I'd be like, I don't want this ship now. I'm like, man,
put that ship on that night, man, God damn, put
on that side.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Shut the up.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
They were playing boys, and I said, I want to
cook the radio off.

Speaker 11 (36:57):
But as the nineties, baby, I always took Friday when
I saw somebody who had like a music collection on
c book and I'm like, but.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
You got the experience all things like yeah, all the
song like you know songs.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Why can't get this ship in my household?

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (37:15):
You wouldn't even real rewinding and.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
You better get the single.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
You want to hear that again?

Speaker 1 (37:30):
You got the album? Yeah, but the.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
Album you ain't gonna do all that. Goddamn fan the
grooves scratch ship up. You were kind of skipped. But
a CD like that Road the whole way?

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Who was the lot of pusson? You think that I
had like a full out CD that you could be
like beginning getting at the end.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I can't even think recent, Like everything in my mind
is further.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah, I think I think Urban Legend was CD cd C.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's so fast. Oh see they got them first DMX
hell is High. I let that bitch ride start to
finish Juvenile four.

Speaker 3 (38:11):

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah, I will play speaking Box and let the lot lo.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Let both timeth.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
I thought, why through that?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
They're always trying to break flat people.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
They killing mic last album, the one that won out
of the gramms. That's not what? What's that big Creek?

Speaker 3 (38:47):

That one everything, you know, even though the album where
they said he was going pinistry, Yeah come back he said, man,
let me let me here.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
It's crazy how we developed your musical taste though, because
my dad was a big fan ghetto boys, and you know,
he would have all these rap albums that were like
that he really loved.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Like would you say, like this is my question, I
getting to like American?

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I know, I know that's a question even South that
would you say you were more East Coast fans with
West Coast East Coast shelf?

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I can't say't say that we liked at all. It
was about fifty to fifty. We liked it all.

Speaker 6 (40:21):
We always kept our music separate, like like when somebody
from the South, it was pretty much like they automatic,
But then it's like, we had certain elements that we
liked from West Coast music, like like even though it
was like a lot of who you Like lyricism and

(40:43):
the word playing of the East Coast they were more
focused on actually like who could say the most ship.
But like the West Coast, the flow was way different.
It was like they weren't trying to over compensate with it.
They would like, let that dope ass be play or
do a cool ass flip on an old school classic
and just keep it real light. But on the East

(41:04):
Coast they gone, they're trying to wrap detail for me.
The East Coast just wrapped from Baltimore.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
East Coast.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
For me, both though we rocked with who Rocked with Us?
And that was the South.

Speaker 7 (41:20):
So like the East Coast, we liked them until they
started showing this thing. They was the first because they
would come down here and start shopping on us, shipping
on us on the radio.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Like we love Who Tang?

Speaker 7 (41:31):
Who Tang had a woo wear store here in Atlanta,
Like I beg my mama to take me to that
bitch that she was full of weed smoke, she still
let me get the stir See.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
That's the biggest difference the West Coast never shipped on
the South. Yeah, yeah, and and we rocked.

Speaker 6 (41:49):
With Everybody's one of the first East Coast artists that
was on a lot of down south here you come
down definite wall like everybody from Project Pat to Look
John to motherfucking I.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Can say that.

Speaker 7 (42:03):
I can say that for Nor, I can say that
for Cam and them. Yeah, I say that for Wu
Tang and the No Nas. Yeah, like yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Way more love than it was hate that they were
trying to like make it feel like right.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
And Ray Kawan too of course. But see that's what
but West two shows, I mean Tupac ship like, he
was real dynamic, but he could give you both like
one your love don't sound nothing like to live and
die in that like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
But I think a lot of that ship like it.
It made us ship like ship like like.

Speaker 8 (42:43):
Oh, she can't listen to them because they damn now
on the same ship went on because we really weren't hit,
you know what I'm saying, because we weren't playing their music,
like even like like.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
I said, my household, I didn't even know about that.
She doesn't want side of the World until I went on.

Speaker 8 (42:58):
Somebody House and somebody playing this you nobody, and I'm
like i gotta write their name.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Down and go back home.

Speaker 5 (43:06):
Like it was.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Rather you needed a buffer in between them, bro, you need.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
I didn't started this and everybody, but since.

Speaker 6 (43:37):
We on the conversation music, you don't work with a
lot of legends, facts like who are some of your
favorites to work.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
With or who is the one who had you kind
of like believe we're in this month.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
It threw me completely because I remember a sob when
I came here. I was like, I'm gonna live my
life in between the student your sessions. I would be
outside of the clubs two stepping on tables. I had
to give up vodka because it was like not did
too much, no more.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Went crazy wild, had a very fun time. It was.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
From ninety nine, the old five Pete.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
It was a beautiful time and I remember like having
a good time. A bunch of Gucci made records in
a row, and then I did a record with Jerry
Wonder Fat them sounds to put it down. I literally
had moved to the West Coast at this point, like
doing a whole other thing, doing cartoon voices and whatnot,
and Jerry hearsed me like, yes, Gucci may wants a

(44:45):
record that we did finally free.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Hmm what me?

Speaker 8 (44:52):
May you know?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Because it was like I met like it was all flashbacks.
So like I said, dancing on tables and all the
different clubs going to on the road, and that was
a joint that was all like crew, like Lemonade, Freaky Girl,
you know, all of them in that era. That was
our ship. I'll turn up like let's go me and
my homegirls and my assistance and whatnot, and so then
I want to record with him.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
It was just like this is crazy.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Oh my god, he knows that's the fun time. Yeah,
that was one. I mean that's one. But look, I've
done so many racers with so many people, and I've
got things that are coming out with people who growing up,
I wouldn't even think that they need my name, and

(45:43):
I met some of them because of my radio show.
But it's just like I look at it all like mine,
it's a blessing. I get to do this for a living.
I get to do this and wake up in the
morning and be like I sang a song and they
understand all the ten thousand hours playing and they Yeah,

(46:03):
but the hours of no sleep, you know them, days
of like I got to start my favorite shoes.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
What's your what's your creative process?

Speaker 6 (46:11):
Do you just get inspired and do it on the spot,
or you got a certain routine that you'd like to
go through now?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
And I say this now because the last thing I
lost the records I recorded, which is my album coming.
I did that in the Pandemic, the Panini, whatever you
want to call it. And it was a four hour process.
I would pray, I'll go what he wants me to say,
and then I get out the way. I just let
it come out, I don't judge it, and leave it
with the producer and leave. And it was four hours

(46:42):
because if I did it, if I did anything more
than four, I started thinking it, start trying to move
the words around, and don't that makes sense that melody
feels too? Did that before? Uh uh uh? And I
just get in the way of it, you know. So
my process now was like pray, go in there, freedom,
singing to my phone, the melody down, and then coloring
the lights right and the words and the melody. So

(47:05):
I'm singing the melody. I look at it like I'm
drawing this and then the words just going here and
that's it. Knock it out, lead the studio.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Let me check with your Is that true? Because you said.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
You and what.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
How did I get that?

Speaker 4 (47:30):
You ain't gonna even mention the lemonade. You know you
need lemonade to make the damn song?

Speaker 8 (47:34):
Now you you you are all around all the stuff, jealous,
Now we need you.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Think that you would get into the cartoon space.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
I answer that I prayed about that and I want
to do Yeah I did. It was really like a
I think after a certain period of like being outside
in the world, people like you have a voiceover voice too,
like you should do that. I was like, I want
to voiceover gigs. I want to and it was like
I want to voice over you. They got closed and
I was like, no, I want to do a car too,

(48:05):
because I want my nieces and nephews to hear my voice.
But my sisters were pregnant time, and I was like,
they're not coming here, they're not moving to the York,
but I want them to hear my voice over there
and I want them to know at least that's Auntie.
Like I have a big family, five girls, three boys,
it's nine of us toll and I meant that. I
was like, no, I just want them to be able
to hear my voice. I want an international. I got

(48:26):
very clear about the prayer Butt and after pasturing the
shit out my team, I was like, they were like, what,
this cartoon came in a lot of money. I was like,
what's it about? What it's a cartoon net or like
your the character is cool gardener and she's she's like
a big sister. I was like, I can relate. I'm
the biggest, I'm the oldest, oldest girl. And so they

(48:49):
read it to me and I was like, this is good,
this is easy. We weren't privy to any of the
story arcs. I didn't know any of it. I was
just like, I like purple, it's gardening, it it's my
best my bust stone and the Capricorn, and this is great.
Let's go. And the more I kept doing it, I
just felt like this is this is the biggest honor
of my life. This is amazing, Like thank you God.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
And then.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
The character well, she she well Rebecca Sugar. Again. Their
their partnership, the team, and they created this whole character,
they said based off of a song that I had
called Freak a video. So I did a song called Freak.
I can be a Freak every Day. It came out

(49:32):
in the American Boy.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
But You're freak, So I'm just talking about.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
I had this song that was more about just like
feeling yourself and being you like cartoons. Oh God, I

(50:09):
was like, oh, yes, was the video. I drepped it up.
I literally drepped it and I literally was like, oh,
she the character should look like this, And I take
the picture and I do a zoom with the director
like I want to look like this in the video
and they should be. And I was telling them what
it should feel like, and we did the video. The
videos did it sting. Anyhow, she's a fan of it,

(50:33):
and she liked it because it feels like it's like
Baltimore House. It's like, you know, it's club, it's it's
it's dance music. And she was like, yo, I just
love the video. I like how strong and how incredible
you're looking at it, and that's what it should be.
And one of the reasons why I really like I
think it was the right decision. She said something to
the effect of, like someone else like, why is going

(50:54):
it a black woman, you know. And she was like, well,
why not? Every other thing is white and male, why
wouldn't be a black woman. I was just like, and
this is why I took the role, because she you know,
she's she sees what we bring to the world as
women like but she wasn't and she wasn't afraid of
reference that, you know. And so then that was so

(51:15):
groundbreaking for a lot of people. How many seasons, like
six seasons in a movie.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
That's a good franchise.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Yeah, thank you. He was right.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Six plus in the movie.

Speaker 6 (51:37):
Clayton already told you how your song made us feel
as American boys? What was this.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Like? What what made you stick with that concept? How
did that come about? What I was in?

Speaker 2 (51:49):
I was in the beach in Miami. I was at
the beach. So I'm recording.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Also conservative.

I was like, beach hanging out. Sometimes Cuban boys loved me.
I didn't know the Recuban at the time. I have
to correct myself and say this now. It was to
me it was like, oh my goodness, let's speak in Spanish. Yeah,

ky So my mind is blow the entire time. And
then just like say what together.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
They they hold on, you know, don't worry about it's
good will is right.

Speaker 5 (55:32):
About that.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
You wrote about it American one who really Hispanic, and it.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Made it about everybody you were. But the emaginal starting
point was like, oh my goodness, I'm on the beach
and this is just a fun time, you know, like
it was the whole It was on me and my hunggirl. Yeah,
it was a wild I will say it, well, I
will say yes, but you know, like I said, it was.
And then we're fresh from London, so the accents extra strong,

(56:04):
so it doesn't matter black guys. It was just everybody.
It was like, oh my goodness, the British girls and
we were just like, let's go get margarita and like,
but what's the way home?

Speaker 4 (56:15):
You come?

Speaker 2 (56:16):
It was a good time.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
That was so it was.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
It was fun. So we go in and John's like,
whatch ha been up to? And I'm like on the
beach and you know, he's like, well, let's right about that.
And the same thing. He goes in and and melodies
and I go into our melody and then we both
call or in the alliance.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Held bring back.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
I'm a student.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
I'm a student.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
I'm right here.

Speaker 8 (56:39):
Had the conversation. He said, all right, now let's write
about this. He takes everything, he goes and make the beat.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
He makes the beat like.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Well, I am had the beat and he was playing
three beats, playing playing three beats. First of all, he
played me wait a Minute, which was the very first single,
and I'm like, oh, that's screaming little such a love
that sample. Let's let's do that one. He's like okay,
So we wrote that record, put it down, and then
American Boy came around and he was like, I don't.
I said that feat is it? And he's like, no,

(57:14):
I don't. I don't know if that's a hit. I said,
that's the one, and if we don't make it back,
I'll go to ib from making your money back. They're
gonna love this in the UK. I'm in Europe. We're good. Yeah,
it'll be good.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
So yeah, you're like, okay, I know this don't work it.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
And that's my thought. No, that's my thought for us
as if I can. If it works for me, it's
something that I believe in and I know that I
can do it at home, going.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Everywhere, like over here, we can't. If you don't work,
it don't work.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
She's like, I could take it to the game. We're
gonna be like, let's try it in the UK. It's
already you should.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Well, that's if it's gonna work. I don't think that's
even a real If you love it, and it's your ship.
It's gonna work wherever you take it. You know, that's mine.
That's that's always been my thing. But selling it to
them was just like, no, give me, I know what
place I can go perform that girl right now. But
other than that, I just loved it and believed in
the record. The baseline is one thing an American boy

(58:22):
that is don't matter if I just have a bass player, Yeah,
that song, I have a hand clap. I can sing
that song. It's just a guitar. I can sing that song.
And that's that's my through line with every single record,
like can I do this, do this, I do this,
I do this easy? Yeah. But that that was literally that,

(58:43):
and we'll put the record out elsewhere, and we came
back around, figured it out and he released it.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
It feel like that's one of them songs that.

Speaker 6 (58:53):
It No.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
He had already recorded a version of it like a
vibe record, and had just released it in the UK
and a very small label and the whole album, so
it wasn't the single of the album, just on this album,
and people who knew him loved him found that record
and they were like, but this is the will I
am record? I was like, excuse me, bro. He was
like he was like, yeah, that was crazy that came up. Okay,

(59:28):
I'm not going.

Speaker 15 (59:36):
No, I'm not gonna do.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
So I was perfect, especially he we put it out
and it just went and did everything he needed to do.
Kanye go on it maybe six months to eight months
after we recorded it. That's it, uh, and he we
wanted him on it. It wasn't like this is a
thing to make her blow up. It was like the
is gonna go. This is a juggleal how can we

(01:00:02):
make it sleeping over?

Speaker 9 (01:00:05):
I was like, I mean should guy, what's a record
that you win in the studio that you just absolutely
like your feeling world favorite?

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Like I think at the time of this is my
I can listen to this like I just recorded. It's
not exactly where I was and this the original demo
vocal from my house, a song called break My Heart
featuring Red Cross. I remember where I was and it
was like forecast in it, which is weird. But the
guy I was with at the time, I was like,

(01:00:40):
I wrote this record out of just a pure blue sky,
like the four hour scenario, and I wasn't doing it frequently.
Then I just did it in that moment and never
did it again for like six years. And at the
time I was like, this is it's not with this record,
and you know, I told the label and that was
the second album all to me. But that record makes
me just feel like I want them and the nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
Like this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Yeah, I don't want to relift a heartbreak. But every
single song, you know, and I feel like I got
to listen new records. This album the same vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
It was always a bad excited about it. I'm excited.
What's the name of the new album?

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
What is coming?

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
I can't tell you just.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Us, but I will say I have four records out
right now, well probably by the time you hear this,
Oh I fire Love on Love and the song cale
New Directions, and these songs were made from like twenty eighteen,
started in twenty twelve. BLUs made from twenty eighteen through
to maybe we're just literally mixing as we go right now.

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
Shit, he says, was.

Speaker 16 (01:01:58):
Whoa, it's timeless music, even though you take the studio,
did be recorded with the music you've made, Like you said,
eighteen year dropping twenty five, it takes a minute, it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
Takes a million.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Why now when because we need joy, we need love,
and I think if God gave me all this music
to give, now would be the time to get it going.
And also I listen, I pray a lot, as I've said,
and I don't. I don't really. I don't getting my
ego about when, and we have to because people ain't.

(01:02:36):
He gave it to me. He's going to make the
pall straight and let people who need to hear it
hear it. Who is four? Us who is four? And
it's you know, and they're going to get it in
the time they get it in. There's people who were
just discovering I had a reggae album out now, and
I did that in twenty I put that out in
twenty eighteen.

Speaker 8 (01:02:51):
It's like you had a whole reggae I'm just like, oh,
butch up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
But when you're meant to hear it, you're meant to
hear it, not to say that this is what this is.
But I took my time with this and wanted to
wait for the right features. I wanted to put everything
in the right place. As much as I proposed to
be good and let the producer do this thing too.
I didn't want to just be like good. I want
to live with it. I want to ride with it.
I want to see how allowed it to feel and
how joyful. Yeah, this is if this is whacking. It

(01:03:22):
was just me in the house, like just because everything
was quiet or and it wasn't you know, you know
what I love.

Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
About you, Like we've been following each other on social
media for a long time, but you show a lot
of love to just a lot of a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Like I've been seeing you.

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
Laughing at the at the comedy pages, the reals and
the music.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
You be all over the place.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Man, we live jewel lied, we live everywhere. And I
don't I don't hate. I don't really see the whole. Well,
you can't like this person sing too much because they're
going to think you're too drawing. Like what makes me
laugh makes me laugh, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
I just hit that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Yeah, and I think you guys are funny. You kept
us alive during the Panditi and before Okay, I was listening. Look,
I was looking on YouTube, like looking at the full
like old shows that you were like, I am going
to see you on Netflix. That ship made my heart thing.
I was so joyful. I was like, this is this
isn't it seems to be proud, like, so appreciate mother.

Speaker 6 (01:04:24):
What kind of advice do you give artists that come
up to you like the next are still a lot
of London that she's from the East Side though, she
you know, because it's no blueprint to really do what
you've done, but you made it easier for the next
person because you bridge the gap between America.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
And the and the UK.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
So well, you know, Lousens did that for me. They
did that for me. Who else a bunch of things
in the UK from Beverly Nighties, Paris. Uh, so many
people did that for me. I can't stand here and
say like I'm the first.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
No, parts not the first, but you got to keep
the legacy going for sure, and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Keep legacy talking. Uh, Marsha and flower Tree did that
for me too, right. So what I always tell people,
and it's always a question like, well how do I
how do I like? You're a singer thing, you're an artist?
Be artist. All the other shit you're worrying about is
standing in the way, your ego standing in the way.
Stop thinking overthinking this shit and just create like I

(01:05:25):
did it. I'm writing a book because I keep getting
that question and it's just my perspective. Tweak it, make
it your own.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
My thing is just I'm gonna show you how you
get how I got there. And I had to learn
these lessons on the fly because there was no physical
example of like come here, stay here, move with this person.
Don't do that shit I said, don't do that shit.
It was none of that for me. I was doing
the shit and fuck it. I'm being like, oh God,
let's go again.

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
So I'm writing all that in the book. But my
main thing is always just create, stop making excuses about it,
make really good music, stop judging the music, don't overthink it,
and pray, like whoever you pray to. I believe in
spirituality over religion.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
However you get to God is how you get to God. Right,
But yeah, the being that is bigger than all of
us for directions and do the fucking thing, like stop
overthinking and stuff. Dude, Yeah, get out your way. That's
my main thing to like, well how are you? And
I'm just like.

Speaker 4 (01:06:33):
I'm just.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Here, go doors open. I'm like cool, I'm gonna run
through it full speed. Don't stop running cool, keep going.
All right, we're living in real life. That's my thing. Yeah,
is that okay?

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
We're good.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
Because it's like even you know us as comedians and
he's a musician.

Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
You do is very talented.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Hey, your residuous talents were crazy too.

Speaker 6 (01:07:05):
So it's just like just to be able to get
some insight on somebody who was creative, just to see
what the process is and how you navigate the decisions,
you know what I mean, because sometimes we do shit
and we don't know the impact that it's having on
somebody else.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Like you said, the lady who knew the album cut,
that's her, that's her ship that you know.

Speaker 6 (01:07:23):
And then sometimes people come up to us and tell
us about a moment that happened, and it's like, man,
I needed wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
I was at a point where it would nothing make
me laugh, But I sat and I watched and got
me out of that space. Like that's that's the ship.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Thing, right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
They're saying like there's fifty eleven things and even put
so many bodies you just want to execute. You start,
you go out on your value ites like what makes
me fun? What makes me laugh?

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
And you the way you do comedy is observant as fuck,
And I love it, you know, and it's just like
a very like this is this is this is this
is why I follow like because it's it's truth. You know,
it's not it's not made up. Yeah, and I wish
more people would think that instead of thinking me, are

(01:08:09):
we get in the way. This is the way that
this is that is done and I have to present
this way and I have to present that way all right,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
I can't do that.

Speaker 8 (01:08:26):
You're getting frustrated because everything will come with a problem
every once you know that, and you're like, oh see,
I was so focused on thinking that once I get done,
this problem ain't gonna have problems.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
You just gotta learn the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
So yep, it was mean thing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
I'm a n R. I'm the a R on the
new DC album We need you What needs you on?
What needs you need? A session? Fact, Yeah, we ain't
gonna We're gonna actually ready for you be quick.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
I want to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
For a hour. I'm gonna pray for come on, she's
gonna stop.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
He's a decent.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
American where we're gonna give her so much.

Speaker 6 (01:09:16):
It's gonna be so much CASTRM five teens and ways she's.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Gonna be like come on Man, I'm ready to go around.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
One.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
It's on the top on this turn that phones up.

Speaker 4 (01:09:35):
Oh my god, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Now it's just funny here hearing the journey though, you
know what I'm saying, because as an artist like you
just hear like the process.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
I think, I just.

Speaker 8 (01:09:48):
You know what I'm saying, have finally just got to
a point like bro, it's just the process. The only
thing that's different between you and there was a pla
plaque on the wall and it's literally let me measure
that what it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Feels like, the hanger plague on the walls.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
Just that's just from thinking about like you know, you're
growing up, You're sitting in your room. You go from
from the notebook to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Your point. You know how many records will never see
the light day, never get to that one grammy and
that one two million and at one moment and people
coming up saying to get all of those that record
there are there are there are that tapes hard drives
this big and my vocals on him that will never

(01:10:34):
see the light of day, please Jesus, because they were terrible,
Okay to get to that point, And I think it's
just one of the things that I did before I
decided to move. Here was in between all of the
discussion with the label again, I was praying I went
to a real depressive era. I call it depressive, but

(01:10:55):
it wasn't. It was good, like singling me out to
like get me right, and I was like, get clear
on what do you what do you want? I want
to win a Grammy. I'm going to win a Grammy.
I'm winning a Grammy. I wonner Grammy. Like how the
words mean things right? And it took me getting to
that place and then being like, I'm going to get
out the way of the house. I don't know how.

(01:11:16):
I didn't even expect it. When it happened, I was
I got no I got told I was nominated when
I was leaving another hotel in maybe Vienna or something
on tour, and I was pissed. I want to go home.
It was cold, I was tired. I didn't know where
home was. I just moved from London. Family wasn't really
in the US like that. And I got told I
was nominated, and I was big piss going home. I'm

(01:11:39):
coming down at the elevator and I get a phone
call and I'm just like, what are they calling me
for now who else I got paid? Like what the fuck?
Like can you leave me? I just want to get
on the box. I can't even but I'm performing every
night and I'm giving him my all. And they were like,
you got nominated two Grammys. I stopped in the middle

(01:12:00):
of the street in Vienna and did a look at
praise dogs. I was like, thank you, like I had
a whole and then when I wanted, I want it
on the carpet. So the how is inconsequential to God's
saying like I told you you could get it, like
just do the things, put in the work, or just yeah,
out of the way, let me make it so you know?

(01:12:21):
Does I say like there's fifty eleven different songs that
will never see the light of day. There are moments
that I could have taken I didn't take when God
says yes, and when it says your time and you
can't agreement with him and you save your time. It's whatever.
Holding the plaque is one thing. I've had it at
the house. Grammy's cute. But the memory and the feeling

(01:12:43):
of those moments being God like he told me I
was gonna get a Grammy. That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
For me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
That's the thing I carried like shit, you don't lie.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
You lie, you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
Don't look it from you. We're here telling the truth
for the Lord.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
That's the clear understand.

Speaker 4 (01:13:13):
And to the people who are watching this.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
I don't know chimes. You have to see people say
this or hear people say this.

Speaker 10 (01:13:20):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
You gotta speak your dreams into life. Man, you know what.
You can't just sit on that.

Speaker 8 (01:13:25):
