Speaker 2 (05:50):
It's the best. But but you forget you're in public.
Sometimes you do because you're just sitting in your chair
and you're so like just you're in your own head,
your own thoughts, and then you were.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Like, oh shit, like let me come back, let me go.

and B that like, we don't hear a lot of
in twenty twenty five anymore. Two R and B. You
know what I'm saying, Like, what kind of motivated you
to kind of be like a traditional real like I
feel like R and B singers a damn near like
(06:49):
they got eight o eights and this damn near like
hip hop R and B fusion, Now you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, I got a little bit of that too. I
think for me, I just I want to take people
on a run and on a ride. Obviously, I wanted
to get back to like my roots. I know that
with the first my debut album, I'll say because I
put out a lot of projects, but this is my
(07:15):
first studio album that I you know, just dropped, and
I wanted it to just give me the feeling of
what I listened to growing up, Like when I was little,
my mom would listened to like a lot of Faith Evans,
Kelly Price, Brownstone, Tony Braxton. And I've just been in
(07:36):
that stage in my life. I think I'm at like
the age where I kind of am starting to get
their feelings and their thoughts and all of that. So
it's just like okay, like I get it, this is
where I'm at. So I wanted to show that side
of my womanhood.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah yeah, I feel like when we get older, you know,
there's like music like seventies rock shit that I used
to hate when my parents would playing, and now I'm like, yeah,
I kind of fuck with the Eagles. Yeah, like I
could put the if I am like high as funk.
I want to hear some like trippy fucking seventies no.

the Whispers and the stuff like because you get the lyrics,
Oh do you get You're like, oh got it.

he's controlling the music and it is very much like
jumping into a time machine. It's a vibe. Yeah, what
was it about what you were doing that kind of
caught his attention.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
He heard a song I did call like My Weed,
and it was very soulful, but it was hip hop
too because I raped. So that's what I'm saying, Like
I'm that yeah, yeah, but I'm not bars.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
I feel like that's the best way. I mean, it
feels that way I wanted.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I wanted that, you know. It was crazy because the
album was done and they were just like, you need
one more record and snoop he was like you need
that record. Buzz was like you need that record. Management
was like you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Need but it's missing that record.

Yeah, I'm yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Don't want to do none of that. I want to
get in with him. And yeah we got in. I
told him the exact vibe I wanted because I thought
about it the whole like I had days to think
about what I wanted to do. And I told him,
I'm like, yo, we need something like this, and he
immediately was like.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, and we did it and I did it. He's
a a genius. He is was an alien.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
He is so sweet, so cool.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I remember the first time I saw him, well, now,
the first time I saw him life he was opening
up for a Earl sweatshirt in like twenty fourteen or fifteen.
But then and I saw him like headlined by himself.
He was just doing the drum and ship while rapping
the whole show, and I was like, this motherfucker is
in shape.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He's different like that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's different. It's crazy. Is the song can't let go
about someone? Certain? Like? Is that about a person that exists?
Do they know it's about them when they hear it?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I'm sure?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So it is about someone?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, my whole album. That's where I get messy. You
ever want to know what's going on with me? So?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Is the album inspired by multiple people? Okay, anybody hits
you like, yo, what what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I got blocked by one because of the album. Yeah,
I'm being messy.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
What was it about?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
What? What? What? What? What was it? Because you know,
obviously you know, this happens a lot people. I mean,
you have to draw from real life experiences and music,
but you never hear about like what happens with the
inspirations in real life, hear the music.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
He blocked me for sure. I don't think he mad
I see that you and it's me not you. It's
a couple of us. Okay, it's a couple of us.
But you know, I think he just didn't want to
keep seeing me on his you know, on algorithm. Yeah,
so I mean he probably still has to somewhat because
(16:21):
you know, maybe, but I know he blocked me for sure.
But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
This love what's your What was there a song that
you were most like you kind of dove in the
most personally on this project that.
Speaker 3 (16:34):

blocked you? Oh? This is the guy who blocks you?
Was like the six or four part pretty specific?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
No, that was actually the fake part because he didn't
drive that, but yeah, he uh, just to make it
very like clear. I'm over it now for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But was the recording this mute? Because I feel like
that's gotta be a healing thing.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
It was. I sent it to him before. I didn't
just like startle.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Him just ahead something.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I gave him one and he was just like you
know what he always does that really kind of speechless.
He's just like, wow, okay, that's how you felt. Wow,
But I'm over it.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You become a star and he's probably like fucked up?
Maybe are you pretty like a heavily evolt because I
feel like all the aesthetics whether it's the visuals, whether
it's the artwork. Everything is very very high level, very
very consistent. Are you very much like involved in all that?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I love art, I love visuals. Eventually I could
definitely see myself going off into film, and I, you know,
I just like, I don't know, maybe growing up how
I grew up, we always were just like heavily into that.
Always knew people who like did some type of like videography,
(19:32):
and we always wanted to put a video to our music.
Whether it went somewhere or not, we always wanted to
just put visual you know, perspective to it.

my family. So we used to walk and just talk
honestly about these days and about.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
The future, like what what what?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Actually, Yeah, he used to give me a lot of advice.
We used to just talk, you know, and now we
just you know, both kind of moving around.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah. I think he's kind of changing a lot of like, uh,
you know, the idea of the possibilities of like being
an independent artist and absolutely ways to monetize your brand
that are untraditional. Absolutely what you want for a concert ticket,
no one's ever done that way.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
He's killing it. He's killing and he said, he everything
he said, you know, he's doing.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
What is the biggest thing you've learned from being around
Snoop so far.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Mmmm, I think I'll watch him and his leadership and
I also watch him, uh with being a leader the
human behind that, and I pay attention to that, you know.
It's yeah, he's he's he's the legendary Snoop Dogg. But
(23:46):
I'm blessed to witness sometimes the way he thinks and
in being a leader on the mic and with the
industry and just being a leader as a man. Right,
So I think I pay attention to that because I
want to be that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I feel like when you see Snoop, even if
you're from Afar, you know, it's like I always hear
people be like, I'm busy, I ain't got time. I'm like,
I don't know if you guys see like like Snoop
Dogg isn't.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
And I tell people that you ain't because he's busy
and he hits me all he hit then he hit
is like five in the morning, five this morning.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, it's it's actually impressive. Were you because you were
on on the last album his album, which was a
very selept on project. I actually like that album more
than I liked the Dre album. Is it a crime? What?
What are you nervous getting in with Snoop.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I used to be. Now it's like more fun.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
He gets me into like a fun space, like okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You guys get high as like Giraffe Puss and the stew.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
We used to, we used to. I gotta slow down
on that.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yah.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I'm a singer.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, I was gonna say, how like because you're you small? Right,
so like is it does it affect your voice? Ever?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
You know it's crazy. I used to smoke, so you're not.
This is a world from your announcement. I used to smoke,
but yeah, quit. Yeah. I do weed pills and weed tea.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Your weed pills is crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
They look like a little aloy you do, I don't
really do. Yeah. Yeah. Edibles are dangerous, yeah, but but
I'm very I use it like medication.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Well, I feel like a weed pill is more like
you know exactly what you're eating and how much if
someone gives you a chocolate piece.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I can't do that no more. It's like stone like
that for real. I don't been stoned for days.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's one thing I will never do is edibles because
I've had the worst experience. I've I've over eight shrooms
and been all right over eating edibles, you'll be cooked.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
No for real, and it's like and it can be
like lok.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I don't think people understand like when you eat it,
there's something about it that makes it psychoactive. Yeah, so
I've like had hallucinations. I've seen ship and I'd be like, dog,
what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
No, for real? I cool it off the edibles, but
the weed pills I could do. End the tea.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So you do weed tea? Nice? Yeah, that's great. So
I think breaking news Jane is no longer smoking.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yes, but I tried to hide it because people still
be giving me.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Weak When you first hanged Snoop, do you feel like
it's almost like, you know, if you were like if
you walked to the park and Michael Jordan was shooting
hoops and he was like, hey, you want to shoot
a ball with me? And I'd be like, of course.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You know, it's crazy. He never he didn't smoke with
me in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
But I'm saying, like, if Snoop's like.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
And that's what happened, of course, Yeah, I smoke with
Snoop for sure.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
It'd be like if Willie Nelson handed you a joint,
you'd be like, fuck, yeah, let's go. I just want
to be able to say I smoked with you.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Absolutely yeah, him and Warrang G. I definitely was like
I'm smoking with him.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Like what gee, I want to I just want to.
I want to go to Warrang G's house for like
Fourth of July and eat his barbecue.

are like cooler than stupid. When you hang out with orange,
be like, butro, You're just a cool motherfucker bro effortlessly, like.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You could tell why they like, you could see why
it was all cool.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
How long were you working on this album?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Like a good year and a half.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Where was there any music that didn't make the cut
that didn't fit the theme of the project? Mm hmm yeah,
Like what was like the pool of songs you were like,
how many songs were you kind of pulling from?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I didn't want it to be super long. Raphael he
was the one that was just like, hey, don't don't
have no long drawn out project. Get to the point.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
So I was like, Okay, people have short attention span
these days. Yeah, and you want every song to really
like no skips.
Speaker 3 (28:44):

the gull right.

I feel like and I.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Wrote I wrote every song with him.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
A lot of people forget like Adrian had like a
cool little mixtape run before he had that.
Speaker 3 (29:07):

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Two Am? I was to say three AM, but he
had like some he had like a mix like a mixtape.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Era that was like some of my Like when I
look back on my career, I think.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
About around that time Eric Beer had his mixtapes. Yep,
it was good.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
It was a good it was a good time.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
There was a good R and B mixtape wave coming
out of the West Coast that was pre cook like
cooking like it was a great time. Yeah. What about BJ,
the Chicago kid, I think he is one of the
most underrated, underappreciated talents him. Yeah, he's incredible.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
We always talk about how we're going to do a project.
We're going to do.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
One day a joint album.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, yeah, we're going to do one one day. I
think we again. We just I'll be moving around. He'd
be moving around and then life. But he was one
of the first artists when I moved here. He was
one of the first artists that just pulled up on me,
like via Instagram, like, Yo, you're dope. I want to
(30:08):
pull up like let's work and we we did you.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's hard. Shout out to him, man. Yea, besides BJ,
if you could pick anybody to do a joint.

know if you did you happen to go to Camp flog.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
No no not this year?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
No so good? Yeah you know what. I came out
of Camp flog Naw realizing that Tyler the Creator is
one of the greatest performers on the planet, but the
greatest performer in music right now is Doci.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
She's killing it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
When I watched Doci's performance, was a problem.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I would love to do music with third.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I was captivated.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
She's dope.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I was. I was so like, I couldn't I was
tripped and I was on shrooms by the way, both
but for everyone's performance as a campflog now I was.
I was on shroops. But Ship had me. I was
just like, I don't think anybody can fuck.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
With her different.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I had after the shot just be like, hey, yo,
that ship up there. She was that, she was different,
She's different. It was crazy. Yeah, but Tyler is one.
I mean I think I think we always talk about
the Big three, you know. Yeah, I'm like, Yo, Tyler's
in that there for me. I mean, this guy's got
(31:35):
his own festival.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah, and just musically like I'm still an artist to
my core. So yes, he's amazing. He is talented.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I think it's like it's like when you see Chromacopeia
and Don't Tap the Glass come out in the same
twelve month period. It's like that's such a range of yeah,
high level music, but it's like artistically very different.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
He can't be fucked with for sure.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
He can't be with. Yeah, shout out to Tyler. Who
do you think should win Best Hip Hop Album at
the Grammys? We have Clips, gn X, Chroma Copia, Glowyali's album,
and j I D got like Ugly, God loves Ugly.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I'm gonna go Chromo Cropia because that's what got the
most play in my earphones. But all of those projects
are amazing, But I'm gonna go with Tyler. Yeah, like
he's I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I got a feeling. I don't know if anyone's beating
Kendrick ever after the gn X year, but I'm I'm like, honestly,
as long as it's clips, Tyler or Kendrick, I'm okay
with it.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, and it's gonna be And g I.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
D is incredible to ja. What's your favorite song on
Chroma coopia. Man, I'll give you mind first take. I
like to take your mask off song each one. I
like to take a mask on each one of those verses.
(33:15):
Like there's like a verse about like a mom who
like settled in a marriage and have kids, and I'm like, yo,
that's fucking crazy. Like the fact he was able.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
To that's probably one of mine. Yeah, I think that
whole project to me is one like and and you know,
I love like all of the rollouts and the big
shebangs with people's stuff. But when you can have an
album that is playable from start to finish and I
don't got to touch my shit, it's you know, I
(33:49):
love those type of things.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
But you know, are you already working on new music

my own headline tour. But I would love to go
on with somebody as well.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, what is the coolest thing about being signed to
death Row Records in twenty twenty five? Because I feel
like Snoop's quietly putting together this awesome roster of an
amazing R and B. You know what I mean That
there's like very when we think of death Row back
in the day, we wouldn't think of like, yeah, some
of these I think the biggest artists on death Row
(34:47):
or R and B. You know.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, I think it's just dope to be a part of, uh,
something that was just such a staple right in music
period and to be able to like keep that going
and hold that responsibility to really keep it going. I'm
(35:08):
excited for what I do next.
