(03:56):
I just took Blanco. I was create time. Okay, Okay,
how you doing, man, I'm good, bro staying busy. You're
in town for a couple of days. Yeah, I'm trying.
I came down to get like the real Atlanta weather
experience right now, Weather experience Atlanta experience, because there's two things,
you know both. I mean, like I came home here
like for Atlanta, like hotland or whatever you call it.

(04:20):
Like I packed for it to be hot outside, and
I'm in a hoodie. You know what I mean. It's
not it's not really the way I looked at it
on Instagram. O don't know. I got this one little
I got this little pink I called it the pink Panthers.
Like it's made like tom Materials like me. It will
beach tommeterius to short sleeve. But you know, I can't
wear none of that. You just might can't wear it

(04:40):
right now. In the next hour, you may be in
some beach attire. You might be looking like a damn
uh igloom. It's always suffice. You never know. No, that's
my joy. When I got l a I do the
hoodie in shorts, I guess I got to do. Not
let anyone lot to Atlanta doesn't have like Atlanta weather.
We go through multiple season in a day. So just

(05:01):
be prepared for everything. Now, what particularly that brings you
to Atlanta? Do you come just for specifically for the weather.
Are you're doing a little promo run going on a
little bit of up but everything above record some awesome music.
All of these things that you're saying applicable. And Ryn
told me, boy some some lemon pepper wings. I forgot

(05:22):
what you said it was from. I can't. I can't
specifically for the limon pepper winks, I'm not. You know,
make sure you make sure you hit up the American Delhi. Okay,
that's where you go. Make sure you get the all flats. Uh.
It's a new flavor called lemon pepper Ranch. Brother, I'm
not sure if you like ranch, but they got the
new flavors called lemon pepper Ranch. It's like sprinkles a
ranch like ranch. Put me, I don't do dairy, so

(05:44):
I might I might have to check out of our conversation.
Vegan the other one. Yeah, I'm definitely going to study.
You're from Philadelphia, um, and you're signed. I see you
have a nice death jam sweater. Yeah, and sign a
death jam you know, and no disrepective death game. But
I'm only wearing this because y'all didn't tell me that
the weather was gonna be like. I love this, hoo,

(06:05):
I love this. It's cozy, Okay. I prepared though, because
it gets really cold in the studio. So I don't
get it. Now, let's talk about Billy Ellis. Let's get
into the music because friends, I went to YouTube and
I saw that it has like over five million views.
I haven't driving checked. I haven't. I asked him as
soon as he walked into the studio, I was like,
can you keep up with all this that's going on

(06:27):
in He doesn't even know. I didn't know Billy Ellis
has hit over over five Why the name Billy Ellish
Billie eilishyah Ellis? I had U so I had seen
this tweet one time. I was like it was this girl.
I was like, I'm not a fan of Billie Eilish,
but I like her just because she dressed like the
franchise boys. And I was like, Yo, that's hilarious. It's true.

(06:50):
So so then when we was we was kind of
picking our samples. UM had the record nothing by Noriega.
We have flipped it already and I already had I
created that idea to clock Tuck till I had. You know,
so like it's match. You know Nori dressed like them.
You know it's about the style, yeah, for sure, because
you know for me in the South, I'm used to

(07:11):
you know, an artist and rappers. Uh use a Caucasian
person's name. It's usually associated to some other Yeah, yeah,
it's not that it's from Philly. What what's your style?
Because I mean, obviously we know some Philly rappers. We
have Little Oozy who is like very animated, and I

(07:32):
watched a couple of performances that you had in its
high I'm getting West Coast from you. I'm getting New
York vibes. I'm like, I feel like you seem to
be very well rounded just in the way that you
move and perform. What is your style? I mean it's
that I think I just I try to just remain me,
remain as creative as possible. I try to like really

(07:52):
just like give people an experience. I watched a lot
of James Brown performance Michael Jackson performances growing up, so
I'm thinking about, like how can I be the rat
version of that kind of bring them completely into my world.
And then like you know, when when the lights go
off and when I dropped the mic, they're like, yeah,
you know what I mean, they gotta just snapped out
of it. So, uh, it's really you know, it's it's
all of the above. I think it's just a lot
of Philly influenced UM in a way like when it's

(08:14):
time to be that, it's a lot of West School,
it's if it's time to be that, it's you know,
I kind of pulled from everything when you have a
project dropping because I know, UM as I'm seeing last
time you drop project was last year. Yeah, so we're
looking at we're looking at the fall or like doing
an actually like if they'd be released, you know, I'm
assuming you have a good amount of records already. We
got some records. It was really like with this Billy

(08:35):
Eiris record, I was like, Yo, if this work, it
only makes sense for every one of the other records
that we got. Following up, so we got a record
on Friday called Diamond Doatllas is kind of just like
a celebrational UM record that you know really just like
in ten years and five years or two years. I
want people to timestamping and say, yo, remember when Armani
White signed with dev Cham and he used this record
as the announcement record. This is that you know, this

(08:57):
is that record UM and you know, and then we're
just rolling out what this project is going to the
jam announcement hasn't been No, it happened. It happened. But
it's like, you know, it's in such a close proximity
to the fact that like, um, you know, like like
all of this is just one big moment, like I
just gave my mom a bunch of money to put
that up on internet. Like you know, I mean, like
all of these things is tied together that I think
people are gonna remember it in this way in a

(09:19):
couple of years. Is social media helping your career? Is it?
What kind that the numbers? I don't feel like the
numbers are adding up. I feel like you should have
a larger following. I feel like I should see more
based off of the streams and how crazy the music is.
So how is social media actually helping? Oh? You know
the thing is I think it's just like it's where
social media is impacting right now. Like I don't think

(09:41):
it's all the way opened up diyes of the culture yet, um,
but like in different areas, like you know, I just
did this this A lot of this stuff is problem,
you know, prominent from a TikTok. I made a TikTok
in the studio and then that went viral, and then
we made a follow up that one viral and viral again,
and uh, you know, so it definitely impacted, like you know,
went from like thousand followers two hundred thousand and went

(10:01):
from fifteen thousand on TikTok to three d thousand, you know,
and so forth. So yeah, it's definitely it's made his rounds.
It's just like I think it's where it's made his
rounds that it's a lot, uh you know, a lot
more specific to what you're saying. Do you feel like
you have to have like a social media challenge that
goes viral. Nah, I didn't have one. That's kind of
the thing right now people are making songs for TikTok

(10:25):
or social media and hope that it gives them the
result of going it's like, here's my thing. I already
do a couple of flavoring things, Like I got scared,
like if I came out this, I mean doing all that,
it's just what I feel like, it would have just
been like, oh no, this is too much of a giming,
Like he's doing way too much. So yeah, I just
like I kept organic, and I think that was the
thing about this record is just like good music kind

(10:46):
of cut through. Let's talk about this. You said something interesting.
I thought that was dope. Okay, your style you got
you always wear bandana and feeds on your hair. Is
this part of your outfit? Um? Yeah, like yeah, I
started off. I it off. Actually, I mean, if you
want this one, you know, I got this one for you.
But yeah, you can take this one. Okay, okay, it

(11:06):
won't be give them people. You know, Okay, season you
have your own silk scarf. I'm about to. I'm about
to right now. We just we're giving out the samples. Heard.
I actually wrap my hair every night and as a style,
so I will be looking out for my care package. Yes,
yes man, yes that you I am can see you.

(11:30):
I'm just setting myself scarf right now. So how do
I do it? Do it like you? Bro? You got
to point? He's one point yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah broad
at all. Yeah. I'm happy. I'm happy that you're joining
the scarf gang. Now, brother, No, that's fire, that's fire

(11:56):
until you go ahead. So yeah, I mean it's like, no,
I just started off. Me just trying to make sure
my hair is protective when I'm going to sleep and
then I was like, all keep it going, I know,
I get it. OK, we got we got to protect
this hair absolutely, like something special. Do you drink blanco tequila?
I don't drink. Don't drink at all, So you don't drink.

(12:18):
Don't smoke. First artists I've heard in a very long
time are one of our coworkers, like DC doesn't drink
a smoke wor So, how do you get creative in
the studio? A lot of people say that, you know,
they do a little something something to get their creative
just slowing what works for you? What is your setup?
So here's the thing I don't write in the studio.
I'm wanting to people that grew up like you know,
buying studio times. It was like like I had my

(12:39):
little FIGI dollars, I come in and try and record
to zones an hour. Um, so I write in the crip,
I write. I write all of my music in the career,
sit down and get this creative people have to have,
like instance, so I gotta have cartoons playing. That's one thing.
I got cats. And when I record, I can't record
with shoes on. It just don't want it takes your
shoes off, and it's in the corner on the floor. Now,

(13:01):
I wasn't here when when our DJ was in the
mixed suit, would have been in that corner, sitting at
home every day as soon as I wake up before
I literally every day right now, I like ins to
like going that stuff though. Yeah, I had that cartoon,
so we got a project coming. Um, you don't know
when the fall which is going to be soon Atlanta's

(13:22):
fall season, or Phillies falls all right now in Atlanta.
It's the weird part, you know, the weirdest part of
Atlanta is actually March to May. It's all here. We
don't know if it's cold just now, Like does that
happen regularly? Very rarely doesn't happen And when it fake happens,
the city shuts down, shuts down side the ghost town.

(13:44):
Can you give me three female artists that you would
love to collap with? Carti? Um, that's like no, Brandon
cartis too, she's a little too high up actually, um no,
not whatever you feel whoever? Party Mulatto Yeah, big Lotto,
big Lotto. Sorry um and then oh stuck they no

(14:12):
not at all? Do you love? Okay? That was a
good list. That was actually a really good list. I
loved your number and they love at love being from Philly.
Are there any type of um maybe restrictions that sometimes
artists may run into because you know, like this Philly radio,

(14:32):
because you know, Atlanta play Atlanta. I'm starting to see
New York follow the train a little bit A you're
gonna hear number l A vibes, West Coast vibes, Nevada.
Does Philly play Philly? Philly do um but they're heavy
on the Philly though. Yeah, it's it's just the thing
is like there ain't too many um Like you have
like a couple of sparks that fly off in different directions,

(14:54):
but it ain't too many like Armani White's Big Blancos
and in Philadelphia. So it's like, you know, you might
do like that they have the dance wave going on
in Philly has his own drill scene, so like a
lot of those I guess, like it's just called drill,
I guess, But but they you know, so they might
sometimes play the dance stuff, but they kind of stay
out of the way because you know, a lot of

(15:14):
the times in every city, a lot of the drill
stuff we got like real things going on behind it,
so said they kind of minded like as far as
radios and things, but they kind of money business on that.
But you know, being an artist coming up in the city,
you know, I'm just trying to be I'm trying to
be that like that stone in the ground that kind
of paves the way for the next me to come up,
the next like, you know, the next kind of kids.

(15:35):
That's like, maybe I don't want to be one of
these two. I guess when I think of Philly, I
don't really have like a an identity associated to think
of a boogie that's DJ. Oh yeah, cor nervous. I'm sorry, book,

(16:04):
you see how I never really like obviously, you know,
when people think of Atlanta, you think of the little
babies or like like you have an idea immediately of
what it is. When I think of Philly, I'm thinking
little Oozie, who's style performance, style music creatively is different
from Mikuel But Meek Bill was probably like the guy
that stood out the most, like the biggest artist for

(16:26):
for a while, or his name was super popular. Then
when I see you, I'm like, Okay, I see the
energy that I get from Little Oozy. But again I
see so many different like reagions like I saw you
do West Coast moves and East Coast and all that.
So I don't really understand what the Philadelphia style is. Well,
so here's the one thing that all Philly rabbits got incoming.

(16:47):
You you add like I thought you had Mousie, you
at Meek, you at me, you had Tierra, you had
We can crap, like you know, when you take all
of the things away, all the closest out or whatever,
like the addricks, we can rap. And that's one of
the things that kind of we all came up on,
and then we just started to like kind of find
different ways to creatively tell us story next. Yeah, and

(17:10):
when it comes down to like it just like a
little beat on, like we be going, you know, come on,
fille No, that's right. Please tell everybody where they can
find you and where they can listen to some music. Listen, Um,
you can find me at our money Blanco that's our
money like brand Blanco like color in Spanish and our
money white on our streaming platforms. We appreciate you pulling up,
appreciate you. I gotta I gotta get you another scarf.

(17:30):
Definitely gonna be like the full package I wanted, like
when you have like the package for shirt, maybe a
little candy one out? Sure us rights he can stick
to the original. Appreciate you pulling up on this man.
You gotta do it again, Yes, sir, so as I'm
back whenever your mind, whether Blanco in the building, you

(17:52):
look so crazy, We'll be right back. Stay tuned with
more of the Baller Alert Show Message Dear Boiler Show podcast.
I've been helping out my cousin for about four weeks,
can you hear me? Yes? Since he came home from
jail jail last week he asked to use my car

(18:15):
to run to the gas station right up the street.
He calls me and says that my car has been
stolen because he left the keys in the car. It's
been five days since the incident, and I've noticed he's
been wearing nicer clothes, having no job. I'm starting to
think he got my car stolen for money and my
tripping or not. Did she say what kind of car was?

(18:40):
I'm assuming it had to be goddamn before because if
it was a kid, all they needed was a USB.
Let me tell you something, There's nothing wrong with your
compassionate heart. Okay, you were trying to do something good
for a family member that you love and care for,
so please don't ever change that about yourself. However, discernment
to start meant we'll get you a long way. That

(19:02):
man probably didn't even have a license. He shouldn't have
had your car to begin with. I'm sorry it's happened
to you. You don't deserve it. But damn he sold
your car. Yeah, if you want the truth, he definitely
sold your car because first of all, he just got
out of jail. He ain't got no money, he ain't
got nothing to do, and he probably knows some other criminals,

(19:22):
some some people that's gonna give him some money to
buy some nice clothes. Because you you let him buy
the car, but you ain't help him get no clothes.
You know what I'm saying. He sold your ship. Well,
it is time to let you know that this was
a stupid decision. You'll not let anybody who gets out

(19:43):
of jail come stay with you. I don't give a
damn who it is. I don't give a damn who
gives you the best sob store you've ever heard of
your life. The answer was gonna be no, and you
need to start acting bro okay, act broke and be
out of town or unavailable when things like this proceed
to happen. Now you got to go with your gut.

(20:03):
Your guts never gonna lie. I'm just letting you know.
Now you're sucked up and you have to deal with consequence.
I'm sure you either got the car back or are
you gonna get the car back or what. But I
guess what, I bet you ain't gonna living it. Never
let that happen again. Is you got to be more
care that car going for our She is not getting

(20:23):
that car back one time for money blanctow and that
uh baller mail. So solo, let's let's get up out
of here. It is time to go. You know what,
everybody you know, Back to what I was saying at
the top of the show, I'm feeling kind of moody.
I don't really know what's going on. Side to everybody
who is, you know, being active and making sure that
they are keeping themselves emotionally intact, mentally intact. Out to
