Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hold on, hold up, I'd rather kick you with ary
s be the hardest to keep in the boat, So

I know for faces they' gonna say, hm we So
I bay my call on the station, ain't know, not anxious.
I'm waiting on them to go list if it ain't them,
and I'll right in the silence. I promise that no
one can do what they do. It's like hundreds of

(00:24):
Are Suprian sup Arian Suprian sup Arian so a soup
su Borrian sup so Ocome to the ball or Alert
Show starring Bari Simmons and Sue Solo. What's going on?
(00:45):
What's happening? Is the ball Alert Show podcast available everywhere
you get your podcast. I know by the name of
Karari Simmons. Hey young, what's your best friend? Sue Solo?
And we got a very special guest today. I want
to claim him as Atlanta's own, but he wasn't more
in Atlanta, so I'm not sure if I can. But
the Infamous dropped a boy already a little out to
(01:06):
the Atlanta. Yes, sir, born and raised man I think
the first time I found out that you weren't from Atlanta,
I was like, what, he's not from Atlanta? How everybody
to be like that? Because I was here since I
was nineteen, so I was, you know what I'm saying,
fresh out of college. You know what I'm saying. One
of the first songs that I did was pop their pussy,
make them get their money right, Make them get their
(01:28):
money right. We came in the game like young enough.
I wouldn't even old enough to get in the strip club,
you know what I'm saying. But I had one of
the strip club anthems, and you know what I'm saying,
just got embraced like Jazzy fag here he from Memphis. Um,
you know what I'm saying. It was. It was just
like so many different connections. My brother was cool with jazz,
so I would always end up going the noontime and
(01:49):
bumped in the till bumping the Jeezy, bumped in the Gucci.
It was just always a reason being Alma. Speaking of that,
you have, you have so many legendary records. You you
were bragging on Instagram, which you serve every moment to
do that. I saw that you posted I think it
was Jeezy and his biggest record with his most streams
is the record you produced. And then who who else?
(02:09):
Who was the other person you post? I forgot the
other person was Wilder? You know what I'm saying. No
record was the biggest record that streamed on that particular platform.
Nothing has beat that record in the whole of last years.
So you were talking to that, Oh yeah, you know,
we still ain't nobody topped us, you know what I'm saying,
(02:31):
letting us and went by the whole decade. So you
know what I mean. It's just a blessing to be
able to be a part of those records and to
be able to wait, wait, wait, let's talk about how
I want to say confident. You are so cool and mellow.
You never really like you don't have to brag. I
guess you know, uh, you have so many songs that
you have produced, legendary records, and you just so cool.
(02:54):
Like in these day, in this day and age when
people are always bragging and you know, talking smack on
the social media, you really don't say anything. You just like,
look a look at the plaques behind you, like there
ain't no regular thing. A little black a little I
got there. We're talking about the Walker record. I pulled
up this one home. I'm a little bit. I'm glad
(03:15):
I waited there on three million records. Now keep going,
come on, keep going. This just can't shout out to
my boy. Wow, I ain't never had no glucim ain't
plaque all the records I did with Google up. So
I had to order this when I was like, I
ain't even realized this record, win goal and record is this?
This is uh the State versus Roger Davis. I produced
(03:37):
classical and shout out to Coach Kakes. Coach k called
the Blee Club from from Spellman, So that's who the
shout out to the Glee Club spell Man, Um, that's
who we're saying on that. This is no one I
just got. Ain't wrapped this, ye NBA, young boy. More
recent I did. We're popping on that featuring bird Man
(04:01):
until the del called her name project. But Yo, it's
a blessing to be able to deliver and come through
for the guy man. And I don't I don't really
be popping off like that because when you come from Stacks,
when you come from Motown, when you come from Isaac
Hayes in my living room, al Green. We come from
the church, were like everybody in Memphis. We come from
(04:23):
that church. I grew up in the church, so that's
where the music come from for me. And everybody was
just so humble and personal. Like if you look at
Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, the biggest who, the biggest who,
bigger than Michael Jackson, No, how humble was he? Now,
he were too humble? You know what I mean? You
(04:45):
know what I mean. But I just want to say
thank you. I want to and nan see, when you
have grace, it's called grace. One thing to have confidence,
but it's another thing to have grace and to just
be graceful. Because when you really do what you do,
when you really always you who you say you are,
you don't have to do all that. Some people have
to pop off just to bring that attention. My attention.
(05:05):
I get through the music. I don't even have to
say not until y'all just make the music and y'all
you need Oh yeah boy A year boy came from
my rap. I was rapping on the gainst the booth feature. Yeah,
I was rapping on the doing a feature for gamester
Boot and that those were my lives. So behind my wraps,
I always be a year what like just turned up,
(05:26):
Like you know what I'm saying, that's that's that's like
the call. When people hear me say that in front
of a record, they know what time to be. You
know what I'm saying. I could be in the I
could be in the middle of Memphis and some ship
go down and be like, hey, yeah, what motherfucker's gonna
You know what I'm saying. So she was like, man,
you need you there food and we ran with it.
A signature I know that I can say like when
(05:48):
I was in high school, my my prime time days,
my club chocolate days. Hearing that drop, we knew we
was about to write something or recite some thug As lyrics.
We just knew it was about to go down. Yeah. Absolutely,
But Jazz it would always tell me, Man, put your
tag on that, mom, Man got the be vocal man,
(06:10):
you know what I mean, Like if you look at
the vocal producers that I'm the ones, you Knowdre Kanye,
Swiss Beach, you know what I mean, Like Travis Scott,
you know what I mean, Tyler the Creator, Like you
know what I'm seeing any producer that really like step
on the other side of the microphone. It just put
us in a different line. Like the more I've been
rapping out and made over a million dollars rapping them,
(06:32):
you know what I'm saying, Like that's a whole other budget,
endorsement deals and all kind of now that you're in
front of the scene, Oh damn, you drunk, You drunk,
you drunk. Putting the face with a name has been
a thing for me to pass three or four years.
I actually love that because I feel like the list
that you just named, I don't feel like any of
those people are real big braggers, Like they really just
let the work do the talking. You don't got it
(06:55):
cloud when your work does what it needs to do.
Oh yeah, you know, we we park when when necessary,
you know what I'm saying. And you know I say
that that Memphis mentality. I try to say that for
when it's needed, when it's necessary, you know what I mean,
and just stay in a I'm happy. I love what
I do, so I'm always in a good mood. And
you know what I'm saying that it ain't never been
(07:16):
no no reason. I feel like a level of stunting
is looking down upon so you can you can stunt
and feel good. You can talk ship and feel good.
And when I do that, or I might say something
on the Instagram, pop my ship. I'm just doing that
in a in a you know this field good. It's
not directed towards nothing or talking down upon other producers
(07:38):
that haven't done what I've done. I'm picking producers up.
I started producers way, we got our royalty loops sample
loop website. Now giving back to the community, the producers,
and giving them some of my key ingredients sounds, uh
that I've always used and man, we you know, just
always dedicating a spotlight. We'll do right back with more
(07:59):
of the boiler Alert shall really listening to a special
edition of The Baller Alert Show already man salute while alert.
Drummer Board you've always been You've been saying, we this
whole interview, and um, we as in your team. So
let's talk about your team because I know drummer Board
(08:22):
Fresh has a team. Oh yeah, talk about that. Man,
Graphics pr you know, public relations set up this interview
with us today. Um, you know, I tell guys its
producers man or artists spend some of that money that
you make back on your stuff and promote what you
(08:43):
got going. Yeah you want Jez album, Yeah you want
Walker Flucker album, And it will be producers who got
bigger songs on these albums than I did. I didn't
stand in ovation well because I had a publicist. Because
I had that pr they took me in a different
realm where other guys weren't getting that spotlight attention because
they simply weren't putting that money on themselves. So a
(09:05):
pubs has been has been very essential for me. My
management squeaked collecting the money, following up with the labels, hassling,
you know, the guys that are a little late making payments,
you know what I mean, or you know, making sure
that the contracts are proof reread, you know, making sure
that everybody's tied in the the lawyers tied in with
(09:29):
their lawyer and you know, the agreements and everything in place.
So it's it's it's definitely like a squad and it's
been a blessing to just you know, have that guy's
from my older brother in St. Wayne R. I p
ain't good dude, And a lot of times when I
say we I'm speaking on the family, the legacy of
(09:51):
Big Bro and his folk kids, his folk grand babies,
you know what I mean. So I got a whole
of state thing going that we build, and uh and
and and look at your talent. I can really see
why you have longevity. I mean you you seem very humbule,
you know, and and the work definitely speaks for us.
(10:12):
So let's talk about your mama being a part time
opera singer. How we go from being in the house
listening to opera to producing the ship that you produce? Now,
how did we get there? Because Mama was a chameleon,
you know what I'm saying. Mama knew how to get
in front of white America, Black America, corporate middle class,
(10:34):
Section eight. We everywhere with it. So Mama would be
in the arpora. But then she she was in the
Baptist church choir as well. You know what I'm saying.
She's singing Isaac hay Is and Al Green Temptations and
Marv and Gamee whatnot. You know what I mean. It's crazy.
She started off putting her wound to the stomach playing
Michael Jackson Temptations. Should be like, man, you start kicking
(10:54):
when I played Michael Jackson. So I have music coming
through my ears before I'm even on, you know what
I mean, And that I used to have dreams of
making beats or just something I always playing in my head.
And it used to be nightmares until I learned how
to make beats and get it out of my head,
you know what I'm saying. So it's crazy, like Mama
was just a cool uh pam Grid type of woman,
(11:19):
you know what I'm saying, That Pa and grif Field,
you know what I'm saying, coming to the the house singing
and then she'll jump into some opera whatnot. And she
met my dad at the University of Memphis. My mom
was the first bachelor's music degree, the first black African
American woman to get to meet her music degree from
University of Memphis. You know what I'm saying. So she
(11:39):
met my dad taking my brother in St. Wayne to
saxophone lessons. My dad played clarinet, taught clarinet at the
University of Memphis. Also music. It's just it's just everywhere.
I ain't hand no choice grad where I go. It's
like might pop over here in the orchestra, mom, over
here in the opera, you know, what I'm saying, that
big bro in the streets. So I'm hanging around Big
(12:01):
Brow a day, probably like around teen eleven twelve, I
just started being with him every day. And now I'm
starting to see studios and you know what I'm saying,
I'm you know, we're playing pool, listening to balling g
or you know, three season Mafield player Fly against the Black,
you know what I mean. He said, playing fly come
(12:26):
on ma M three mane all day and uh you
know that that that gave me a lot of work,
you know, just working with all the guys from Memphis,
working with the upcoming scene. Money bag Yo young Dolf
Yo Gotti. I came up with Gotta you know what
I'm saying, bumped into him when I moved to Cordova,
you know what I mean. He started getting familiar with
the North Memphis. IM from South Memphis. Like around fourteen fifteen,
(12:48):
I moved to Cordova, which the suburbs like Cordova right
there about Riley Millington with justin Timberlake at you know
what I mean. So that put me in a different
area where now the whole city and is familiar. And
after that passed the trust out of reaching out Big
Block reached out on the boys in the hood. After that,
Jeez went solo. Standing Ovation was my first platinum plaque,
(13:11):
and then from there Berdman Money to Blow, Rocko, I'm
gonna do me, uh apply shanty, keep going to chains,
I'm running around. I'm getting it. You know what I mean. August,
I've seen a no Love. You know what I mean.
We come with the remix featuring Nicki Minaj. You know
(13:32):
what I mean. Jeezy White Girl, I put on lose
my mind. You know, it's flexing, just so many different
records that just just coming back to back walking, flocking,
no hands um and then you know, looking at my
dad for the me goes um and then we're popping
for NBA Young Boy and just boocool plethora of street music,
(13:56):
DJ drama, Oh my day dreaming. Oh man, it's so
many records. I can't even keep up, and it's so crazys.
It's wild because people don't even know the half of
what you've done. Like I think, if anybody thinks of
drummer Boy, especially from my time, they're probably thinking of
your older records. But to hear that you are still
(14:18):
in the lab with these new cats and it's it's
so refreshing, it's it's it's on trend, it's on time.
Like you are so talented to be able to evolve
like that, because we all know hip hop changes. The sound,
the foundation the same, but the sound of hip hop
changes with every generation, and you, my guy, are are
(14:38):
consistent as fun. Man, I think I had to cheat
code being in the game and like fifteen, you know
what I mean. So I'm on the thirty seven. So
having that twenty years in the game is still in
my thirties is like I think a little little part
of the cheek cool as well as having relationships with
(15:00):
pretty much everybody. You know what I'm saying, and you
know when you're cool, and people know that you ain't
no big talking as loud mouthfast, very humble, respectful person.
People trust you differently, you know what I'm saying, like
and as well as respect you differently. So I think
my respect level of trust is in a different area.
(15:20):
And you you you said something perfect with se What
seguatees me to ask you this question, is boy gonna
do with versus? And if you did do a versus,
who would be a person of interest? Because we heard.
We all heard. DJ Drama said if I do it,
I'm gonna do it with DJ Clue. So now, drummer
Boy Fresh, if you were to do a versus versus
(15:42):
a producer, who would it be? Man being from Memphis,
an't want known versus to send me my paperwork. We've
been talking about this as I posted. I said, anybody
who wanted, whoever ready, whenever they were ready, let's get
it on. You know what I'm saying. But I would
say to making interesting coming from Memphis, it's only to
two cats who can even even saying. Drama said like
(16:05):
be close to hanging with me and that that would
be Jazzy Faith, which we did it already on Welcome
to dream Land. So we can run that back, uh
or Juicy Jake? What about what about? Say told him
we did that before, and we can run that back
to you know what I'm saying, be in my showcase
(16:27):
a couple of years back. You can remembers. Yea, we can.
We can run that back. Was before the verses though, Yeah,
we can run it back. Let's do it on the
Lives on the live scale. It's no problem. We can
run it back. You can bring somebody do. It's no
problem many fresh man listen. It don't matter to me.
(16:48):
It's it's gonna be a big gass history lesson. I
know that. So the mom is gonna be comment through
that moment down, drone down, drowne down. You really got
those bangers like Niggas is really still playing standing ovation,
they still playing put on the just still playing the
(17:09):
record and what What's what's crazy? What's crazy is I
could take I could take a catalog from two thousand
and fifteen up to now and still be you know
what I'm saying, there's so many records. Yeah, you ain't
even familiar that I've done recently or like in the past.
You know what I'm saying. Do you hear songs and
be like, oh, such and such made that? Can you
(17:30):
hear a beat and know which producer did it? Uh? Sometimes? Okay? Sometimes?
You know what I mean. The way the way people
copying and paste and medy and copying loops and ship
like now, it's it's it's hard to distinguish because the
sound is all like the same right now, everybody makes
you know what I'm saying, Everybody got similar style beach
(17:53):
right now, like the producer that sticks out to me
right now is here before pet Boys in his own
on like you know what I'm saying, he just went
straight to the club got Zilly. When I hear club
guy Zill, I know there's a club guy zilla be
you know what I mean, Because it's new, it's fresh.
He coming with his own flavor. Even if everybody, like
(18:14):
all of us, were infused with something, you know what
I'm saying. But it's just especially when you hear somebody
like nobody did that when three six Mafia sound was out,
when they was coming with that ship Juicy J, DJ
Pau like, man, nothing sounded like that. When Drama Board
was coming out, Ain't nothing sound like that? Then it's
(18:37):
it's the whole world making trap. Now we started trapping.
This was some ship he started. I'm a founder of
trapp Bro. You know what I'm saying. Trap was a
location when we was coming up every by the time
I crank music, you know what I'm saying, then fingers
snap music. You know what I'm saying. We was on
trap ship because this is where we was at. I'm
in the trap, I'm I'm I'm I'm off Elvis President
(18:59):
and in South mempers My. You see saying I'm I'm anyway.
That that's that's the difference with me. I'm anywhere in
the United States. No, you are in entrenches, you know
what I mean, as well as the top corporate headquarters,
(19:20):
you know what I mean, and and delivering results. And
that's that's what it's about for me. Making these kids smile,
motivating these kids to get into music, motivating these kids
to learn how to play keyboards and learning music theory
and making beats. Beats is away out now, you know
what I'm saying. Like we we started, the people was hooping,
(19:43):
playing basketball, going to college, everybody making beats now, everybody
making music now. So it's it's a blessing man, It's
it's flattery to see the whole world. You did the moonwalk,
and you see the whole world doing the moon walks.
And I keep going back to Michael Jackson. That's how
I feel like, I don't know, I don't know. Oh
my generation on the Michael Jackson making beats. We'll be
right back with more of the Baller Alert Show. Back
(20:07):
to the Baller Alert Show starting Ferrari Simmons and Sues
so long. So when you feel the current state of production.
I think it's interesting because it's making people be creative,
Like you know what I mean? Even for me, Okay,
I jump into the reggae world, still give you a
top team. We're gonna do a recordar Depth to Depths
and Debbie though the Vito. You know what I'm saying,
(20:30):
Like it's it's about the versatility and being able to evolve.
And when you make music when you can read, write, arranged, composed,
is nothing I can't make. I can make genres when
I when I feel like it. You know what I'm
saying that, Like, that's what we do is push the limit.
The for Rel's, the Justice Leagues, um Man, Hit Board,
(20:51):
even Wheezy. You know what I'm saying, Big fan Man.
So many producers I love eight or eight Mafia, the
whole Mafia squad. You know I'm saying, like where it's
a it's a lot of producers that I give credit
to this that's doing anything. Murder beats Now that you
said something. Was there ever a time artists made it
hard for you to work with them? Um? I would
(21:14):
say one particular time, but you know he need getting
the booth, So how could I work with you hein't
need getting the booth, and we was trusting, you know,
everybody just coming through, coming through, dropping hooks like Verse
City and I mean Verse Simmons and rock City and
Man all the jazzy fade and just book whose songwriters.
Everybody coming through, everybody getting in the booth. But you
(21:35):
you know what I mean. So it's a little difficult occasion.
But I showed made some hits out of the sessions.
It took some of them ruggords and placed some other places,
you know what I'm saying. But you know what I'm saying.
I don't even want to tell know names, but it
was it was you know, he only had one song
for real, and you you know what I'm saying. We
never we never seen much of that. So so for
(21:58):
the for the most part, when when someone gets drump
my board in the studio, it's more of an easy
uh you know, things to kind of like the vibe
is good. Oh yeah, it's an lu man, because I
got concepts, I've got ideas, you know what I mean,
And I know how to shut the funk up and
lay low. If you see a motherfucker already in his
(22:20):
in his rhythm, you know, what I mean, like Gucci Man.
Gucci Man is sometimes be like, man, what you got drunk?
And then someday he'd be like, whoa, you know what
I'm saying. You gotta know when the when to be involved.
And then when the you know what I'm saying, she
go over here roll you know, you know what I'm saying.
But the one thing about Gucci like but he knows
(22:42):
what I'd like to eat, give me the same thing
you're getting drunk. We make sure we eat the folk
sessions like it's it's always a vibe. You know what
I'm saying, and I you know what I'm saying. We're
cracking jokes. We sit in the tone. Always respect the
guys that know what they want. Even Jesus Jesus be.
Me and Jeez never worked in an actual room together
until the past three years. So we would always pull
(23:05):
up at the McDonald a, man, let me work with
your g and let me come bring my ship in
there and cook up on the spot. No, man, just
put it on CD for me. But then but then
the same the same we gotta see shot of Red
in the more any day, you know, say and me
and shot the Red. I always joke about this ship.
That's another one of my dogs. Man salute the shot
of Red I love you my name, uh man. It
(23:27):
was just like main't shout and there was all the time,
man maint moving the room over. Let me coming up too.
We ain't getting them cookoover. They don't get fun bait.
You know what I'm saying. We'll be playing around like that.
But I send Jesus to ship through CDCAU. I bump
into jes that McDonald's drop off, a little tent piece,
a little six pieces whatever, Bam, keep it pushing. Here
hit me back, hey, standing Ovation, you know what I'm saying.
(23:53):
Or here hit me back. You hear the song. You
hear the songs after the fact, after the fact, you
know what I'm saying. Instead of Ovation, I had acapella,
so I made the beat around his acapellas on standing Ovation, Well,
I put on It was like nick I heard the
song on the fucking radio. Miss shaw Nika comes on like,
oh ship my boy, Joma boyd and did it again right,

was your biggest record. That's one of my personal feelings.
That's that's what makes my adrenaline rush, Like we work
out for that music like to see how many athletes
and whatnot, like you know, no hands is for the ladies,
Like that's the girls. Yeah, we made our turn up.
We made your dad and ship that's y'all. Moment I
put on was that moment for us, like it made
(26:48):
anybody feel like what, no matter where you from, you
put on for your city. You did that for your city,
You did that for your block, You did that for
your hood, you did that for your commun unity or
whatever it is. You know what I'm saying. Even if
you charitable moments or whatever, just putting your time in.
How doing you put your time in and paid your dudes?
(27:09):
That's that's that's the song for you. And we all
pay dude some kind of way in in a in
a certain territory, even if you ain't from their mother
for it. Like ship, I put on for Atlanta, tooth
and then I put on for men, I put on
for l A, I put on the floor. I put
on in a lot of cities. Now I put on
for the Globe because I'm global. I'm put on for Africa.
I'm putting on for Jamaica. I'm putting you know what
(27:30):
I'm saying. So it just elevates you put on for
Atlanta so hard, like I literally thought you were from Atlanta. Okay,
I went to Ready High School. I lived on full Ford.
The Geezy love for me was very real, like I
had a Jazy sticker in the middle of my steering wheel.
Like everybody knew. We did not play about Jez, especially
(27:51):
in full Ford. So here you on so many of
his records, and and some of our favorite ones were
really from you. It was difficult to get way from you.
It was different. And the only reason why I'm on
Jeez so much like that is because he was on
our sound with me coming out of Memphis. When I
first met Jeezy, first thing he said to me, Hey, nigga,
(28:15):
I ain't gonna lie that ship you got damn got
guddy on Crazy. When you see me shouting, pop your collar,
then you holler, that's what's up? What up? Mama? Hey?
What drama? So still gets played right now. A lot
of the songs that you created still get played. I
put on Crazy in the club when that's all people
(28:37):
from everywhere, they're throwing up Chicago, wherever the hell they're from.
I've seen it. Have the whole compound go crazy from
front to back. Your songs are still doing it for
for the coma, for me my song, Yeah, but it
was them horns though. So the horns boys I had already.
If you go back and listen to That's What's Up,
(28:58):
That's what's so we did in two thousand three, you
know what I mean? Like, you know what I mean.
You gotta think. Okay, I'm I'm in high school, man, Yeah,
like I'm two thousand three. Bro, So okay, that's what's up.
Come out and it was like, man, me and God
are being able to have that momentum coming out of Memphis. Bro.
I came up with, Yo, gotta you see what I'm saying,
(29:19):
I'm working with God in the inevitable entertainment. A lot
of people ain't even familiar in ever to entertainment. I
need you know what I mean, Like, I'm in Memphis
stomping with I've come up with the guys from the
fucking ground zero. You're the young guy in the room
about man, I added that particular time, because you're what
nine absolutely absolutely and making hits. So we're stomped through
(29:41):
the streets. This would put me through the streets of Tennessee, Mississippi. Arkansas, Houston.
Then I work with Teler. I did three songs on
Teela Double Dose album. So I do that. This is
two thousand and four. This is before Jesus and of
that music and never even hit, you know what I'm saying.
Then I'm get one with Blumby and Gainst the Boot,
(30:03):
you know what I'm saying, Sipping and spinning. Then I
did a song with Jody Breese and Slim Thug called
Stacking Paper Man. I love Jody Breeze. I don't know why, Um,
he doesn't get the flowers he deserves from from others.
But I'm a big Jody bream Yeah, man, Jody Joe
to get his flowers. You know what I'm saying. It's
just the real ones. No, you know, Jody was Jody
(30:24):
was a blessing. You know what I'm saying. It was
just it's just the business. You know, it's this game
is a business game. But um, after Stacking Paper I
did a song for Scarface at nineteen Calls Never Never.
It was on his May album. So you gotta think,
(30:47):
like you know what I'm saying. When I'm in that
Lounta and I really get next to Jesus, he was
just like bro, Like, man, that ship you got Gudy
on Man, I just made the other ship cool. But
that ship you got with God I need that because
God Jeezy was a fan of horns. And when I
was doing standing Ovation and making that beat, I rode
(31:09):
from Patwork all the way to Stone Mountain listening to
Trap of Down and it was like, Bro, this the
only sound he got in every beat was horns. So
standing Ovation that was the first sound that I put
behind his vocals. Was the moment, you know what I mean.
Legendary producer Chucky T recently expressed how important it is
(31:32):
to really understand the people you're working with. You know,
do your research on them, create a genuine relationship with
them so you understand how to work with them for them,
and how to really elevate their sounds. So it sounds
like you. You do that, You do your absolutely it's crazy.

And we got a very special guest today. I want
to claim him as Atlanta's own, but he wasn't more
in Atlanta, so I'm not sure if I can. But
the Infamous dropped a boy already a little out to
(01:06):
the Atlanta. Yes, sir, born and raised man I think
the first time I found out that you weren't from Atlanta,
I was like, what, he's not from Atlanta? How everybody
to be like that? Because I was here since I
was nineteen, so I was, you know what I'm saying,
fresh out of college. You know what I'm saying. One
of the first songs that I did was pop their pussy,
make them get their money right, Make them get their
(01:28):
money right. We came in the game like young enough.
I wouldn't even old enough to get in the strip club,
you know what I'm saying. But I had one of
the strip club anthems, and you know what I'm saying,
just got embraced like Jazzy fag here he from Memphis. Um,
you know what I'm saying. It was. It was just
like so many different connections. My brother was cool with jazz,
so I would always end up going the noontime and
(01:49):
bumped in the till bumping the Jeezy, bumped in the Gucci.
It was just always a reason being Alma. Speaking of that,
you have, you have so many legendary records. You you
were bragging on Instagram, which you serve every moment to
do that. I saw that you posted I think it
was Jeezy and his biggest record with his most streams
is the record you produced. And then who who else?
(02:09):
Who was the other person you post? I forgot the
other person was Wilder? You know what I'm saying. No
record was the biggest record that streamed on that particular platform.
Nothing has beat that record in the whole of last years.
So you were talking to that, Oh yeah, you know,
we still ain't nobody topped us, you know what I'm saying,
(02:31):
letting us and went by the whole decade. So you
know what I mean. It's just a blessing to be
able to be a part of those records and to
be able to wait, wait, wait, let's talk about how
I want to say confident. You are so cool and mellow.
You never really like you don't have to brag. I
guess you know, uh, you have so many songs that
you have produced, legendary records, and you just so cool.
(02:54):
Like in these day, in this day and age when
people are always bragging and you know, talking smack on
the social media, you really don't say anything. You just like,
look a look at the plaques behind you, like there
ain't no regular thing. A little black a little I
got there. We're talking about the Walker record. I pulled
up this one home. I'm a little bit. I'm glad
(03:15):
I waited there on three million records. Now keep going,
come on, keep going. This just can't shout out to
my boy. Wow, I ain't never had no glucim ain't
plaque all the records I did with Google up. So
I had to order this when I was like, I
ain't even realized this record, win goal and record is this?
This is uh the State versus Roger Davis. I produced
(03:37):
classical and shout out to Coach Kakes. Coach k called
the Blee Club from from Spellman, So that's who the
shout out to the Glee Club spell Man, Um, that's
who we're saying on that. This is no one I
just got. Ain't wrapped this, ye NBA, young boy. More
recent I did. We're popping on that featuring bird Man
(04:01):
until the del called her name project. But Yo, it's
a blessing to be able to deliver and come through
for the guy man. And I don't I don't really
be popping off like that because when you come from Stacks,
when you come from Motown, when you come from Isaac
Hayes in my living room, al Green. We come from
the church, were like everybody in Memphis. We come from
(04:23):
that church. I grew up in the church, so that's
where the music come from for me. And everybody was
just so humble and personal. Like if you look at
Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, the biggest who, the biggest who,
bigger than Michael Jackson, No, how humble was he? Now,
he were too humble? You know what I mean? You
(04:45):
know what I mean. But I just want to say
thank you. I want to and nan see, when you
have grace, it's called grace. One thing to have confidence,
but it's another thing to have grace and to just
be graceful. Because when you really do what you do,
when you really always you who you say you are,
you don't have to do all that. Some people have
to pop off just to bring that attention. My attention.
(05:05):
I get through the music. I don't even have to
say not until y'all just make the music and y'all
you need Oh yeah boy A year boy came from
my rap. I was rapping on the gainst the booth feature. Yeah,
I was rapping on the doing a feature for gamester
Boot and that those were my lives. So behind my wraps,
I always be a year what like just turned up,
(05:26):
Like you know what I'm saying, that's that's that's like
the call. When people hear me say that in front
of a record, they know what time to be. You
know what I'm saying. I could be in the I
could be in the middle of Memphis and some ship
go down and be like, hey, yeah, what motherfucker's gonna
You know what I'm saying. So she was like, man,
you need you there food and we ran with it.
A signature I know that I can say like when
(05:48):
I was in high school, my my prime time days,
my club chocolate days. Hearing that drop, we knew we
was about to write something or recite some thug As lyrics.
We just knew it was about to go down. Yeah. Absolutely,
But Jazz it would always tell me, Man, put your
tag on that, mom, Man got the be vocal man,
(06:10):
you know what I mean, Like if you look at
the vocal producers that I'm the ones, you Knowdre Kanye,
Swiss Beach, you know what I mean, Like Travis Scott,
you know what I mean, Tyler the Creator, Like you
know what I'm seeing any producer that really like step
on the other side of the microphone. It just put
us in a different line. Like the more I've been
rapping out and made over a million dollars rapping them,
(06:32):
you know what I'm saying, Like that's a whole other budget,
endorsement deals and all kind of now that you're in
front of the scene, Oh damn, you drunk, You drunk,
you drunk. Putting the face with a name has been
a thing for me to pass three or four years.
I actually love that because I feel like the list
that you just named, I don't feel like any of
those people are real big braggers, Like they really just
let the work do the talking. You don't got it
(06:55):
cloud when your work does what it needs to do.
Oh yeah, you know, we we park when when necessary,
you know what I'm saying. And you know I say
that that Memphis mentality. I try to say that for
when it's needed, when it's necessary, you know what I mean,
and just stay in a I'm happy. I love what
I do, so I'm always in a good mood. And
you know what I'm saying that it ain't never been
(07:16):
no no reason. I feel like a level of stunting
is looking down upon so you can you can stunt
and feel good. You can talk ship and feel good.
And when I do that, or I might say something
on the Instagram, pop my ship. I'm just doing that
in a in a you know this field good. It's
not directed towards nothing or talking down upon other producers
(07:38):
that haven't done what I've done. I'm picking producers up.
I started producers way, we got our royalty loops sample
loop website. Now giving back to the community, the producers,
and giving them some of my key ingredients sounds, uh
that I've always used and man, we you know, just
always dedicating a spotlight. We'll do right back with more
(07:59):
of the boiler Alert shall really listening to a special
edition of The Baller Alert Show already man salute while alert.
Drummer Board you've always been You've been saying, we this
whole interview, and um, we as in your team. So
let's talk about your team because I know drummer Board
(08:22):
Fresh has a team. Oh yeah, talk about that. Man,
Graphics pr you know, public relations set up this interview
with us today. Um, you know, I tell guys its
producers man or artists spend some of that money that
you make back on your stuff and promote what you
(08:43):
got going. Yeah you want Jez album, Yeah you want
Walker Flucker album, And it will be producers who got
bigger songs on these albums than I did. I didn't
stand in ovation well because I had a publicist. Because
I had that pr they took me in a different
realm where other guys weren't getting that spotlight attention because
they simply weren't putting that money on themselves. So a
(09:05):
pubs has been has been very essential for me. My
management squeaked collecting the money, following up with the labels, hassling,
you know, the guys that are a little late making payments,
you know what I mean, or you know, making sure
that the contracts are proof reread, you know, making sure
that everybody's tied in the the lawyers tied in with
(09:29):
their lawyer and you know, the agreements and everything in place.
So it's it's it's definitely like a squad and it's
been a blessing to just you know, have that guy's
from my older brother in St. Wayne R. I p
ain't good dude, And a lot of times when I
say we I'm speaking on the family, the legacy of
(09:51):
Big Bro and his folk kids, his folk grand babies,
you know what I mean. So I got a whole
of state thing going that we build, and uh and
and and look at your talent. I can really see
why you have longevity. I mean you you seem very humbule,
you know, and and the work definitely speaks for us.
(10:12):
So let's talk about your mama being a part time
opera singer. How we go from being in the house
listening to opera to producing the ship that you produce? Now,
how did we get there? Because Mama was a chameleon,
you know what I'm saying. Mama knew how to get
in front of white America, Black America, corporate middle class,
(10:34):
Section eight. We everywhere with it. So Mama would be
in the arpora. But then she she was in the
Baptist church choir as well. You know what I'm saying.
She's singing Isaac hay Is and Al Green Temptations and
Marv and Gamee whatnot. You know what I mean. It's crazy.
She started off putting her wound to the stomach playing
Michael Jackson Temptations. Should be like, man, you start kicking
(10:54):
when I played Michael Jackson. So I have music coming
through my ears before I'm even on, you know what
I mean, And that I used to have dreams of
making beats or just something I always playing in my head.
And it used to be nightmares until I learned how
to make beats and get it out of my head,
you know what I'm saying. So it's crazy, like Mama
was just a cool uh pam Grid type of woman,
(11:19):
you know what I'm saying, That Pa and grif Field,
you know what I'm saying, coming to the the house singing
and then she'll jump into some opera whatnot. And she
met my dad at the University of Memphis. My mom
was the first bachelor's music degree, the first black African
American woman to get to meet her music degree from
University of Memphis. You know what I'm saying. So she
(11:39):
met my dad taking my brother in St. Wayne to
saxophone lessons. My dad played clarinet, taught clarinet at the
University of Memphis. Also music. It's just it's just everywhere.
I ain't hand no choice grad where I go. It's
like might pop over here in the orchestra, mom, over
here in the opera, you know, what I'm saying, that
big bro in the streets. So I'm hanging around Big
(12:01):
Brow a day, probably like around teen eleven twelve, I
just started being with him every day. And now I'm
starting to see studios and you know what I'm saying,
I'm you know, we're playing pool, listening to balling g
or you know, three season Mafield player Fly against the Black,
you know what I mean. He said, playing fly come
(12:26):
on ma M three mane all day and uh you
know that that that gave me a lot of work,
you know, just working with all the guys from Memphis,
working with the upcoming scene. Money bag Yo young Dolf
Yo Gotti. I came up with Gotta you know what
I'm saying, bumped into him when I moved to Cordova,
you know what I mean. He started getting familiar with
the North Memphis. IM from South Memphis. Like around fourteen fifteen,
(12:48):
I moved to Cordova, which the suburbs like Cordova right
there about Riley Millington with justin Timberlake at you know
what I mean. So that put me in a different
area where now the whole city and is familiar. And
after that passed the trust out of reaching out Big
Block reached out on the boys in the hood. After that,
Jeez went solo. Standing Ovation was my first platinum plaque,
(13:11):
and then from there Berdman Money to Blow, Rocko, I'm
gonna do me, uh apply shanty, keep going to chains,
I'm running around. I'm getting it. You know what I mean. August,
I've seen a no Love. You know what I mean.
We come with the remix featuring Nicki Minaj. You know
(13:32):
what I mean. Jeezy White Girl, I put on lose
my mind. You know, it's flexing, just so many different
records that just just coming back to back walking, flocking,
no hands um and then you know, looking at my
dad for the me goes um and then we're popping
for NBA Young Boy and just boocool plethora of street music,
(13:56):
DJ drama, Oh my day dreaming. Oh man, it's so
many records. I can't even keep up, and it's so crazys.
It's wild because people don't even know the half of
what you've done. Like I think, if anybody thinks of
drummer Boy, especially from my time, they're probably thinking of
your older records. But to hear that you are still
(14:18):
in the lab with these new cats and it's it's
so refreshing, it's it's it's on trend, it's on time.
Like you are so talented to be able to evolve
like that, because we all know hip hop changes. The sound,
the foundation the same, but the sound of hip hop
changes with every generation, and you, my guy, are are
(14:38):
consistent as fun. Man, I think I had to cheat
code being in the game and like fifteen, you know
what I mean. So I'm on the thirty seven. So
having that twenty years in the game is still in
my thirties is like I think a little little part
of the cheek cool as well as having relationships with
(15:00):
pretty much everybody. You know what I'm saying, and you
know when you're cool, and people know that you ain't
no big talking as loud mouthfast, very humble, respectful person.
People trust you differently, you know what I'm saying, like
and as well as respect you differently. So I think
my respect level of trust is in a different area.
(15:20):
And you you you said something perfect with se What
seguatees me to ask you this question, is boy gonna
do with versus? And if you did do a versus,
who would be a person of interest? Because we heard.
We all heard. DJ Drama said if I do it,
I'm gonna do it with DJ Clue. So now, drummer
Boy Fresh, if you were to do a versus versus
(15:42):
a producer, who would it be? Man being from Memphis,
an't want known versus to send me my paperwork. We've
been talking about this as I posted. I said, anybody
who wanted, whoever ready, whenever they were ready, let's get
it on. You know what I'm saying. But I would
say to making interesting coming from Memphis, it's only to
two cats who can even even saying. Drama said like
(16:05):
be close to hanging with me and that that would
be Jazzy Faith, which we did it already on Welcome
to dream Land. So we can run that back, uh
or Juicy Jake? What about what about? Say told him
we did that before, and we can run that back
to you know what I'm saying, be in my showcase
(16:27):
a couple of years back. You can remembers. Yea, we can.
We can run that back. Was before the verses though, Yeah,
we can run it back. Let's do it on the
Lives on the live scale. It's no problem. We can
run it back. You can bring somebody do. It's no
problem many fresh man listen. It don't matter to me.
(16:48):
It's it's gonna be a big gass history lesson. I
know that. So the mom is gonna be comment through
that moment down, drone down, drowne down. You really got
those bangers like Niggas is really still playing standing ovation,
they still playing put on the just still playing the
(17:09):
record and what What's what's crazy? What's crazy is I
could take I could take a catalog from two thousand
and fifteen up to now and still be you know
what I'm saying, there's so many records. Yeah, you ain't
even familiar that I've done recently or like in the past.
You know what I'm saying. Do you hear songs and
be like, oh, such and such made that? Can you
(17:30):
hear a beat and know which producer did it? Uh? Sometimes? Okay? Sometimes?
You know what I mean. The way the way people
copying and paste and medy and copying loops and ship
like now, it's it's it's hard to distinguish because the
sound is all like the same right now, everybody makes
you know what I'm saying, Everybody got similar style beach
(17:53):
right now, like the producer that sticks out to me
right now is here before pet Boys in his own
on like you know what I'm saying, he just went
straight to the club got Zilly. When I hear club
guy Zill, I know there's a club guy zilla be
you know what I mean, Because it's new, it's fresh.
He coming with his own flavor. Even if everybody, like
(18:14):
all of us, were infused with something, you know what
I'm saying. But it's just especially when you hear somebody
like nobody did that when three six Mafia sound was out,
when they was coming with that ship Juicy J, DJ
Pau like, man, nothing sounded like that. When Drama Board
was coming out, Ain't nothing sound like that? Then it's
(18:37):
it's the whole world making trap. Now we started trapping.
This was some ship he started. I'm a founder of
trapp Bro. You know what I'm saying. Trap was a
location when we was coming up every by the time
I crank music, you know what I'm saying, then fingers
snap music. You know what I'm saying. We was on
trap ship because this is where we was at. I'm
in the trap, I'm I'm I'm I'm off Elvis President
(18:59):
and in South mempers My. You see saying I'm I'm anyway.
That that's that's the difference with me. I'm anywhere in
the United States. No, you are in entrenches, you know
what I mean, as well as the top corporate headquarters,
(19:20):
you know what I mean, and and delivering results. And
that's that's what it's about for me. Making these kids smile,
motivating these kids to get into music, motivating these kids
to learn how to play keyboards and learning music theory
and making beats. Beats is away out now, you know
what I'm saying. Like we we started, the people was hooping,
(19:43):
playing basketball, going to college, everybody making beats now, everybody
making music now. So it's it's a blessing man, It's
it's flattery to see the whole world. You did the moonwalk,
and you see the whole world doing the moon walks.
And I keep going back to Michael Jackson. That's how
I feel like, I don't know, I don't know. Oh
my generation on the Michael Jackson making beats. We'll be
right back with more of the Baller Alert Show. Back
(20:07):
to the Baller Alert Show starting Ferrari Simmons and Sues
so long. So when you feel the current state of production.
I think it's interesting because it's making people be creative,
Like you know what I mean? Even for me, Okay,
I jump into the reggae world, still give you a
top team. We're gonna do a recordar Depth to Depths
and Debbie though the Vito. You know what I'm saying,
(20:30):
Like it's it's about the versatility and being able to evolve.
And when you make music when you can read, write, arranged, composed,
is nothing I can't make. I can make genres when
I when I feel like it. You know what I'm
saying that, Like, that's what we do is push the limit.
The for Rel's, the Justice Leagues, um Man, Hit Board,
(20:51):
even Wheezy. You know what I'm saying, Big fan Man.
So many producers I love eight or eight Mafia, the
whole Mafia squad. You know I'm saying, like where it's
a it's a lot of producers that I give credit
to this that's doing anything. Murder beats Now that you
said something. Was there ever a time artists made it
hard for you to work with them? Um? I would
(21:14):
say one particular time, but you know he need getting
the booth, So how could I work with you hein't
need getting the booth, and we was trusting, you know,
everybody just coming through, coming through, dropping hooks like Verse
City and I mean Verse Simmons and rock City and
Man all the jazzy fade and just book whose songwriters.
Everybody coming through, everybody getting in the booth. But you
(21:35):
you know what I mean. So it's a little difficult occasion.
But I showed made some hits out of the sessions.
It took some of them ruggords and placed some other places,
you know what I'm saying. But you know what I'm saying.
I don't even want to tell know names, but it
was it was you know, he only had one song
for real, and you you know what I'm saying. We
never we never seen much of that. So so for
(21:58):
the for the most part, when when someone gets drump
my board in the studio, it's more of an easy
uh you know, things to kind of like the vibe
is good. Oh yeah, it's an lu man, because I
got concepts, I've got ideas, you know what I mean,
And I know how to shut the funk up and
lay low. If you see a motherfucker already in his
(22:20):
in his rhythm, you know, what I mean, like Gucci Man.
Gucci Man is sometimes be like, man, what you got drunk?
And then someday he'd be like, whoa, you know what
I'm saying. You gotta know when the when to be involved.
And then when the you know what I'm saying, she
go over here roll you know, you know what I'm saying.
But the one thing about Gucci like but he knows
(22:42):
what I'd like to eat, give me the same thing
you're getting drunk. We make sure we eat the folk
sessions like it's it's always a vibe. You know what
I'm saying, and I you know what I'm saying. We're
cracking jokes. We sit in the tone. Always respect the
guys that know what they want. Even Jesus Jesus be.
Me and Jeez never worked in an actual room together
until the past three years. So we would always pull
(23:05):
up at the McDonald a, man, let me work with
your g and let me come bring my ship in
there and cook up on the spot. No, man, just
put it on CD for me. But then but then
the same the same we gotta see shot of Red
in the more any day, you know, say and me
and shot the Red. I always joke about this ship.
That's another one of my dogs. Man salute the shot
of Red I love you my name, uh man. It
(23:27):
was just like main't shout and there was all the time,
man maint moving the room over. Let me coming up too.
We ain't getting them cookoover. They don't get fun bait.
You know what I'm saying. We'll be playing around like that.
But I send Jesus to ship through CDCAU. I bump
into jes that McDonald's drop off, a little tent piece,
a little six pieces whatever, Bam, keep it pushing. Here
hit me back, hey, standing Ovation, you know what I'm saying.
(23:53):
Or here hit me back. You hear the song. You
hear the songs after the fact, after the fact, you
know what I'm saying. Instead of Ovation, I had acapella,
so I made the beat around his acapellas on standing Ovation, Well,
I put on It was like nick I heard the
song on the fucking radio. Miss shaw Nika comes on like,
oh ship my boy, Joma boyd and did it again right,
(24:14):
And you never heard it until then, never heard it.
And I heard Kanye come on and jay Z hopped
on there too. Jay Z was on the remix, but
just that first moment when I heard it on the radio,
Dog I put on for my city. Man, He's like, Bro,
that's man. I'm telling my chills coming through now. Like
it was just crazy moment, Bro, I'm that field. How
(24:37):
did that feel when you heard that? Bro? I felt
like Lebron? Where were you at? I felt like Lebron
when he won the ring Cleveland? You he took you
home and did after the after the coach was talking
all that ship, the owners was talking all that ship.
When I went to Miami and wanted them reach then
I came back like a man, like an honorable man,
(25:00):
and that I fucking am and still won't come back
to my hometown to get y'all aren after y'all talked
to all this ship about me. You know what I mean? Bro,
that's bro. I felt like that, Like Nigga, what what
I was saying? What you're saying? What? What? What do you? What?
Do you there? Two million in that bank? Two million
in the bank at one time, Just like you start
(25:23):
walking different, talking different. You smell good, you look good,
you just feel good. It is what it is. Yeah,
I always smelled good, look good with man. You know
what I'm saying, ship, they just put more fuel in
the fire. You know what I'm saying. And expensive, Yeah,
you know now I'm in Now, I'm in Miami kicking
ship now, I mean l a kicking ship with the
(25:44):
big dogs. You know what I'm saying. Now, nigg is
sending me bottles and ship I bumping the puff, sending
bottles to my tables and ship there where we go.
When the record come out, Rick Ross sending about it
like I'm in Florida, Haitians main the Dominicans. Columb means,
I mean, it's it's like, you know what I'm saying,
drop my boy, drop my boy. My blooo, it's you
(26:07):
know what I'm saying. It's it's now it's like anything
you need blah blah blah. It's like armies everywhere I
go for real, any city, Man, what you need? What
when we got you? Like know what I'm saying, And
it's it's always been like, it's just an elevated level
of Is that a confirmation that for drummer Board that
(26:28):
was your biggest record. That's one of my personal feelings.
That's that's what makes my adrenaline rush, Like we work
out for that music like to see how many athletes
and whatnot, like you know, no hands is for the ladies,
Like that's the girls. Yeah, we made our turn up.
We made your dad and ship that's y'all. Moment I
put on was that moment for us, like it made
(26:48):
anybody feel like what, no matter where you from, you
put on for your city. You did that for your city,
You did that for your block, You did that for
your hood, you did that for your commun unity or
whatever it is. You know what I'm saying. Even if
you charitable moments or whatever, just putting your time in.
How doing you put your time in and paid your dudes?
(27:09):
That's that's that's the song for you. And we all
pay dude some kind of way in in a in
a certain territory, even if you ain't from their mother
for it. Like ship, I put on for Atlanta, tooth
and then I put on for men, I put on
for l A, I put on the floor. I put
on in a lot of cities. Now I put on
for the Globe because I'm global. I'm put on for Africa.
I'm putting on for Jamaica. I'm putting you know what
(27:30):
I'm saying. So it just elevates you put on for
Atlanta so hard, like I literally thought you were from Atlanta. Okay,
I went to Ready High School. I lived on full Ford.
The Geezy love for me was very real, like I
had a Jazy sticker in the middle of my steering wheel.
Like everybody knew. We did not play about Jez, especially
(27:51):
in full Ford. So here you on so many of
his records, and and some of our favorite ones were
really from you. It was difficult to get way from you.
It was different. And the only reason why I'm on
Jeez so much like that is because he was on
our sound with me coming out of Memphis. When I
first met Jeezy, first thing he said to me, Hey, nigga,
(28:15):
I ain't gonna lie that ship you got damn got
guddy on Crazy. When you see me shouting, pop your collar,
then you holler, that's what's up? What up? Mama? Hey?
What drama? So still gets played right now. A lot
of the songs that you created still get played. I
put on Crazy in the club when that's all people
(28:37):
from everywhere, they're throwing up Chicago, wherever the hell they're from.
I've seen it. Have the whole compound go crazy from
front to back. Your songs are still doing it for
for the coma, for me my song, Yeah, but it
was them horns though. So the horns boys I had already.
If you go back and listen to That's What's Up,
(28:58):
That's what's so we did in two thousand three, you
know what I mean? Like, you know what I mean.
You gotta think. Okay, I'm I'm in high school, man, Yeah,
like I'm two thousand three. Bro, So okay, that's what's up.
Come out and it was like, man, me and God
are being able to have that momentum coming out of Memphis. Bro.
I came up with, Yo, gotta you see what I'm saying,
(29:19):
I'm working with God in the inevitable entertainment. A lot
of people ain't even familiar in ever to entertainment. I
need you know what I mean, Like, I'm in Memphis
stomping with I've come up with the guys from the
fucking ground zero. You're the young guy in the room
about man, I added that particular time, because you're what
nine absolutely absolutely and making hits. So we're stomped through
(29:41):
the streets. This would put me through the streets of Tennessee, Mississippi. Arkansas, Houston.
Then I work with Teler. I did three songs on
Teela Double Dose album. So I do that. This is
two thousand and four. This is before Jesus and of
that music and never even hit, you know what I'm saying.
Then I'm get one with Blumby and Gainst the Boot,
(30:03):
you know what I'm saying, Sipping and spinning. Then I
did a song with Jody Breese and Slim Thug called
Stacking Paper Man. I love Jody Breeze. I don't know why, Um,
he doesn't get the flowers he deserves from from others.
But I'm a big Jody bream Yeah, man, Jody Joe
to get his flowers. You know what I'm saying. It's
just the real ones. No, you know, Jody was Jody
(30:24):
was a blessing. You know what I'm saying. It was
just it's just the business. You know, it's this game
is a business game. But um, after Stacking Paper I
did a song for Scarface at nineteen Calls Never Never.
It was on his May album. So you gotta think,
(30:47):
like you know what I'm saying. When I'm in that
Lounta and I really get next to Jesus, he was
just like bro, Like, man, that ship you got Gudy
on Man, I just made the other ship cool. But
that ship you got with God I need that because
God Jeezy was a fan of horns. And when I
was doing standing Ovation and making that beat, I rode
(31:09):
from Patwork all the way to Stone Mountain listening to
Trap of Down and it was like, Bro, this the
only sound he got in every beat was horns. So
standing Ovation that was the first sound that I put
behind his vocals. Was the moment, you know what I mean.
