Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up its way up with Angela.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, and look at this consummate professional Connie Diamond is here,
suffered from her allergies but still showing up.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yes, absolutely, Underdog Season two. Is that how you feeling?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I feel good. I feel really good.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, you still feel like an underdog even after the
first one. You still feel that way?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I do? I do, m M.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, you've had some like really big co signs. I
feel like underdogs don't necessarily well.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I guess you know what. I guess you still do.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Like as an underdog, you know what your potential is
and some people do, but everybody don't know all the time.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Right, exactly, m m, exactly that.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, you know, I just recently talked to Eric Bellinger
and he's on the album too, which I love.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
You consider the one a love song.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It is a love song. It's not like super like
lovey dovey like Maria Scientists, like oh my god, your skin,
but it's definitely a love song, like in my own ways,
that's your type of love song, Like I like a
little hood love story.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So yeah, I like that song.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I was just thinking about it because I was like,
when I was listening to it, you fab and Eric Bellinger,
and I was like a kindie diamond love song. This
is really the vibe of what that would be like.
Instead of a like you said, it's not a I
want to be in your skin.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I mean it's that, but it's not it's not
it's not those exact words. It's more like you're just
singing it the hood way, the hood princess way. M hm.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Now being signed, you're still signed a deaf jam right, Yes, Okay,
So I know I saw previously you did an interview
it was it was like for the fiftieth anniversary of
your hip hop and you were just talking about how
the real work really starts when you signed to a label.
So where has been the difference from you, you know,
when you first were putting out your mixtapes and then
(01:45):
signing to a major label.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I would say the only difference would be the label
kind of have a lot of hands in the pot
where they're kind of like dictating your release dates or
how you're going to roll something out. They're kind of
dictating when when you can or can do something, or
it's just like just a lot of hands in the
(02:09):
posts when you're when you're not signed you're probably doing
a lot on your own financially and just independently just
doing everything on your own. You get to pick when
you want to release, You get a pick what you
want to shoot, when you want to shoot, how much
money you're going to spend. When you're with the label,
it's like they kind of give you a budget for things,
and but it's nice. The budget's cool until it's not enough, right,
you know, but it's a bottom line for real, Like
(02:33):
that's really what it is. But I mean, you know,
they give you a budget. You know, you got you
got some help with different partners like Apple, Spotify, so
you have like some guarantee placements or just just more
eyes and ears on you because of the relationships that
they have opposed to you just genuinely just doing it
and people organically just like gravitying towards you independently with
(02:56):
whatever you release, right.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And I also saw you were talking about how it
is kind of a it's a good time for women
rappers and people have been saying that, you know, so
do you think that when you think about when you
first started doing music, because I know you started really
like it's been what ten years, you know, just about
it's been just about ten years, but it feels like
(03:19):
the time is right now.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
What do you mean in general, like for like for
women before or for me? Oh yeah, for sure. I
mean I take everything every day when like everything one
day out of time, I'm over grace. I feel like
what happens for me is like happening in the way
it supposed to. Like obviously we all have expectations of
what we want and how we want things to go.
But I feel like, little by little things are people
(03:44):
are acknowledging me more, and my music is moving and
getting out there, so like, yeah, i feel like I'm
in a good space.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, jet is a bop? Now, it's jet your word
because I've never heard it before yet, it's not my
word because I've said that. I was like, I know
what it is after hearing the song, but I've never
heard that word before.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's like a like
a slang that we use like in New York. I
don't know everyone else uses it, but because I have
a lot of people reach out to me and say,
what does the jat? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one because.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Lingo, Yeah, I mean jack is a jatty, like is
like replacing the F with a j okay instead of saying,
oh she got a fatty, we said that like how
many years ago? So so she got the jack? She
got the jackety yeah New York slang.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And then your family, right, your is your dad is
from Trinidad.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
My my biological fall he's from Trinidad. Have you been?
I have never been.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Is that something that's on your bucket list?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Ye know? My going for a little baker, you know,
seeing what's what it's about, wouldn't mine.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I could see you at Carnival.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Really, I'm not a Carnival kind of girl.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Really, I would not get that because it seemed like
just from and you know it's so interesting, just from
your videos, it seemed like you would be a fun
outside like I'm.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Definitely funding outside super Turn but not like Carnival is
like scann out, like you know, how do I know?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
How do I You don't think you'd be a little
skin out to I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
That's not my vibe, like I'm down, I'm down, or
go to a party but not in like a not
in like a bikini and the.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know, like again like I don't know this because
I've been. I haven't been in Trinidad Carnival that's a
whole other level. But I've been to Carnival like in
Saint Thomas and the whole point of it though. It's
kind of like, yes, you're outside and it's you know,
you have on the costume, but it don't matter what
you look like, you know what.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I mean saying Okay, you say like that, I'll get it.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And it don't even matter how old you are. There
were literally people out there, like.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Eighty years old in the street dancing in their outfite
and just having fun. There was people who was like
working sweep in the street and they was dancing like
it's just a fun vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I can see you.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, I know. I mean, I don't know. I just
never really like it's just like it's like a lot, lot,
a lot going on. So I would like what I like, Like,
you know, I thought you were like referencing like what
I like actually like be in the card you know,
how to get dressed up, and they got a thing.
I was, oh, I don't want to do that, but
I would. I would definitely like attend a carnival, yes,
but not be in the parade, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Like, so you started writing poetry when you were fourteen
years old? Yeah, and you were actually doing poetry slams
I was.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I did a couple with this around the city at
this Woe's school.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
What was your poetry about?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh? My god. I have an aunt n even Sondra,
and she had at one point she had me a
little like sucked into like like black history.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, Like, and I was my poems is like based
on based on that, and she wrote a lot of
poetry based on it as well. So that's what I
kind of started at.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do you feel like now as you're watching like things
that are happening and being that you do have, like
knowing your black history and knowing all of that, do
you feel like sometimes this country is a little while
right now? Are you paying attention to everything that's going
on with politics? Is that something that you're.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not too deep in it,
but I see things here and there, hear things, and
I'm not a fan of what's going on, especially with
the just popping up at people graduations and just snatching
them off the streets.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's so sad that is.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Like that that hurts my heart for real to see.
But you know, I try to, like, I don't get
to it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's just I was watching this video where an ice
agent like slammed a woman onto the ground. She wasn't
It was when I tell you, sometimes I watch the news.
That's the saddest thing in the world to me, Like
real things that's happening, and seeing how people are acting
like this is New York when you know, I just
feel like it's a crazy time for all of us.
I agreed, you know, and for you being from the Bronx.
(07:33):
You know, Bronx has that reputation of being the wildest.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, I mean I've seen some things. I've seen a
couple of things.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So yeah, how was growing up in the Bronx for you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
How would you describe it if you had to talk
about like a kindie diamond childhood.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I actually bounced back and forth between the Bronx and Queens,
so the Queens. Queens was Queens was cool. Most of
my family lives in the Bronx, though, like it's from
the Bronx. I was born in the Bronx. But so
I was kind of back and forth, like the Bronx
is like you know how you know how it is.
The Bronx is the Bronx. It's messy, it's it's it's ghetto,
(08:06):
but it's I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Where do you think now?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I know people always ask these questions about when it
comes to Burrows.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
If you have to say which Borrow has the best guys.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I would say, hmmm, I would say Queens.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh that's interesting, like Queens controversy.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well I don't why would its controversy? I mean, like
I'm sorry, but like I've dated I've dated guys in
from the Bronx obviously, I've did guys in Brooklyn all over.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
What is it about guys from Queens though?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Because guys guys from Queis are more cool, calm and collective,
you know the I don't feel like they want to
like kind of like snatch snatch you up off the
street and just you know, like I don't know, like
a cool, calm, collective.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You're right, there's been places I feel like certain, what
is the Queen's common in Brooklyn?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I feel like the Bronx and Holland they more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I mean, I don't get it wrong, like Queen's got
Queen's got the members, they got, they got every borough
has they they side where they got you know the members?
I mean right, yeah, But the.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Only time I feel like a guy who try to
hog let you and then if you ignore him and
he says, fuck you bitch, that would be like that's like,
that's like Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bronx. Yes, I was gonna say,
but maybe because I'm from Brooklyn, I don't experience that.
But when I sometimes it's weird to me, like moving
out of my comfort zone. You know what I'm saying,
When you grow up someplace and then going from Borrow
(09:34):
to Burrow. Now you also have done music with Dame Dalla.
How did y'all even connect?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh my god, everybody was. It's because it's like a
like a random ass random link up right, shout out
to Dame.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And he's serious about his music.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh yeah, he's really good at what he does. Like
he's really good. We actually have a mutual friend and
one day we were out, we were having drinks. We
started freestyling and then we have them back to the
to the hotel chilling, freestyling again, and then I was
telling him like, yeah, I got the song. You're like,
you know if you want to hop on in He
was like yeah yeah, and I sent it to him,
(10:08):
but I didn't think he was going to really do it.
He literally sent me the song back from probably like
two days or something like that, and that's great. He
like he like smoked it. So shout out to Dame.
He's really dope at what he do on the court
and in a booth like like I fox with him.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He's so you know, in addition to that, Joe Button
was really giving you a prop heavy and you know
he's very critical.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
He is, so you had to throw him on here.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I love Joe. I love Joe man. He's so like,
you know, we we're from the city. Is like Joe
is like Joe is Joe, Like he's so cool and
I it's funny because like it's funny because I was
like at SOBS like a couple of years ago, like
wait way before I was signed, and I was in
my Homegirl and we see him. We was trying to
get a picture with him and he was just like, no,
(10:51):
I'm not taking a pictures and I was like, I
was like I can't wait to see him because I
kept go ahead show and tell him like you ain't
want to take a picture with me and you love
me now? Like, but yeah, it was dope getting I
thought that was like super dope to intro him on
the record because he already shouted out the song. He
likes the song, And I just want to do something creative,
like I'm really in love with the nineties two thousands,
(11:11):
and I think that we're in the right now where
people don't go they don't use skits anymore, they're not
doing the fun cursing out skits and the beginning of
the records, And I thought that would be cool to
just bring a little nostalgic feel back to like how
projects used to sound back in the days with skits
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
So what do you think is different now?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Like as far as being signed to death Jam right
and having their input, What are some things that they told.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
You that they felt like you should do?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Because sometimes we have our own idea of the type
of artists that we are and then the label comes
in and they're like, you should try this, you should
try that.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
What are some things? And I want to know what
did you agree with and what did you disagree with?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Well, to be transparent, Like they don't really tell me
what to do. I kind of tell them what I
want to do. And I'm kind of a hard person
to tell what to do, only cause like I usually tip,
like always know what I want to do already, So
maybe excuse me. Maybe one time there was a time
(12:09):
where like they saw I don't want to say who
it was specifically, but like, excuse me, Like I think
I had to do press press shoot at one point,
and they sent me like references of like Lotto and
like Mono Leo, who are too dope artists that I
love and I love their style. But it wasn't that.
It wasn't that I didn't like they wanted me to
(12:29):
like look like them for the shoot, and I'm really
a tom girl, so like i could get on my
girly shit, but like I'm not gonna like do certain
I want going to wear a certain shot. I'm not
gonna do certain sho. I'm not gonna dress a stain way.
And they were like, yeah, we need you to look
like this, and I'm just like I'm not doing that.
I didn't know they but still do that they do.
They were like, oh, we will, we want we need
to shoot because we you know, they want it. They
want to send it out to like you know when
(12:51):
they're like seeding records. They want stuff that are like
super clean and shit like that. And but I was
just just like I can, I can, I can get
you something soft, glad, but I want to do it
my way. So like they that was only one time though.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So and you know, I will say right now, like
hearing you and Cash Cobain, hearing you, it's done and Sandy,
I like that vibe. It's funny because people thought that
New York drill wasn't gonna last, right, that was always
a thing. Like when it first started, it was like, oh,
this is just a phase. But it seems like it's
not going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, I mean it. I wouldn't say that it's I
would say it just is just elevated, like it keeps
like elevating. The sound is not what it used to be.
Like the sound used to be really dark and really
just in my opinion, and he was really was based
on like just like a lot of like drama and violence,
you know, but now it's it's more sexy, like it's
(13:41):
more calm, it's cute. We're making it cute now you
know so and then the shout out to everybody and
everybody that like contribute to that sound, like no, it's
no shade, but it's like you know what I mean,
Like it's just the sound is transforming.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So yeah, things evolve, because I feel like every time
something new happens, people act like, oh, this is just
a phase. It's not and you know, and sometimes it is,
like there are some phases that were absolutely How do
you think that moving around has influenced your sound? You know,
just even going on tour, traveling being other places, Like
(14:12):
what's someplace that you went to? I remember I told
you I just talked to Eric Bellinger and I know
he's on the album, but he did his last project
in South Africa. So it has like an afrobeasts feel
to it. It just came out, Yeah, it's happening.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I'm going to tap in.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's smooth, it's a vibe. But for you, what has
influenced you? Like, what are the sounds from outside of here?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's funny you mentioned that because I was recently talking
with a few producers about tapping into like an afrobeat
kind of record or like a Brazilian funk kind of vibe.
But I feel like, really my influences is from being
in the city, Like just that's just that's my vibe
when I go all the places I do tap into
other listen to other people music, but I don't like
(14:53):
drown myself listening to new stuff because I feel like
that's what keeps my sound unique. If I'm listening too
much to to other artists, I feel like I start
to like sound or do certain things and mimix serns shit.
So I kind of like I don't really listen to too
much new stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But like, and you are like the queen of remixes,
So tell me what's coming because I already know the
album has been out for like a couple of weeks now, right,
So what does some remixes?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Because I feel like that's your.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Thing too, I honestly, So, I have the song cool Breathe, right,
and I'm like, I want to, I want to. I
want to get a remix with like with like Missy
Elliott and like Doci or like the like something like that,
because I feel like Breathe is like it feels like
it makes you feel like that type of vibe, that
type of error where you could like dance, and I
feel like a lot of like outside of like what
(15:39):
we have now with the TikTok stuff, I feel like
the error where you can go to the club and
like the music that just makes you wants to dance,
And I feel like that's the kind of record it
is so like I want to get like a remix
like that going.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And just like you know, so do you and Missy
Elliott have a rapport?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Have you been? We've we've exchanged here or there, like
social media, you have.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
To appreciate your yes, yes, yes, definitely.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's funny because one time I did a shoot for
like Women's History Months with Vibe and they must they
they was reposting another site was reposting like photos of
Missy Elliott, but it was me. It was me, And
then people in the comments like that's Connie. That's funny,
and then they Harry was snatched it down. But it
was because, like you know, it was like a tribute
to her, so I made it look like her to
(16:24):
the team. It was mad funny, but yeah, shout out
to her. I love her.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But what is it about Missy Elliott? Like is that
somebody you would say when you was coming up. That's
somebody that you really was.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, I mean, I love coming up. Really it was
like Missy, it was Busta, it was Fat, it was
Jada Remy. I really really love Missy because I feel
like she's very unique, very unique, very talented. Just like
anytime I saw her music videos, it was just like wow,
and it's just like stuff that you don't see today.
(16:55):
And then like even in that era, all of these
artists that I'm mentioning, they always had videos that made
you really like just had you see it and it
made you pay attention and just made you like appreciate
their creativity. So I love that about her because I
feel like this like really was no limits to her creativity.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It feels like it's gonna happen though you get im.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm I'm very optimistic and I've always feel like, you know,
as long as I'm like keeping my head on the
swim fool and just I feel like anything I can,
I could get anything I want.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You feel good that a lot of the people that
you mentioned that you kind of grew up like listening
and watching you've been able to work with.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Uh. Yeah, that's what it turned that's what it looked
like into, yeah, you think that's really good? It feels
really good. I remember when I met five, I told
him that. I remember his first was his first mixing,
but the album I forgot which one was and when
I holler back youngin on it, I remember my dad
bought me that CD and I would love this song.
He surprised me with the CD one day. You know
(17:49):
best you got to go like, I was like, oh
my god, I was so happy. So yeah, I was
telling him about that.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It's crazy how times have changed. When we used to
go buy a CD. Yeah, and we used to go
buy the CD. Today it came out. Now we don't
even got to get out the bed.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's on the phone. We can stream its. I love that.
And then you and Remy obviously the two of you.
I like Elm and Louise.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's like, yeah, Agnes says, she's so, she's a total sweetheart.
And outside of Fab and Jim and everyone in Busta
that has like giving me like advice and the shoulder
to lean on, and she has been very very very
very very supportive and everything. You know, some some people
collab and then they collab and they do the work
(18:31):
and they kind of like they just disappear. But she
and I have a really dope relationship. We go out
from time time, we speak very often. She's she's very supportive.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Total sweetheart, like fuck with me, and can't you can't
tell me nothing that you can't say nothing bad about Remy.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
They're super talented.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And I saw all the controversy over the song head
tapping people, But I saw that you said she was
not referencing Clariciiciell's on that song.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That was a verse. It wasn't about it.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I mean people we rap, you know, we shipped boers.
You know, if you go back into our archives, her archive,
my archov. I'm we're heavy shit talk because we talk about, oh,
y'all can't they just can't do this, can't do that.
I'm the nice that that's how we That's the New York.
That's New York in US anyway, Like that's how we are.
So it's like, you know, like, you know, I don't
have anything really else to say about that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
What are you think of when you're watching everything that's
going on right now? It's a crazy time. Like I'm
looking at everybody beefing with each other and and so
I want to get your thoughts on it, because one
thing I will say is this, right, we looked at
Kendrick and Drake and everybody was like that was great
for music. They ran up the streams. You know, everybody
made money off of that. And now we're watching like
Cardi B's album came out, and you know, I see
(19:38):
BEA's in the studio working, and I see JT's in
the studio working. For some reason, people think that when
women are beefing with each other, it's like, no, they
shouldn't do that. But I've heard women say no, I
could like, just like the guys are doing it. Why
is it different when women are doing records for you know,
about each other.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
What are your thoughts on it? Being a rapper in this.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I feel like it's it's it's just it's the sport
for real. It's a competitive sport. And you know, you
got the girlies that want to stay. You got the
girlies that I want to stay in the and and
you know, on the side and just be cute and
be calm and collective, and you got the ones that
want to get the feel. So I don't feel like
there's anything wrong with that, Like it's just it's it's entertainment,
(20:19):
I feel like, because everybody's keeping it cute.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And then it's like it's like everybody, that's all it
really does for real and be clever like say clever things.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Absolutely Like I don't have an issue with it. I
think it's cool. I think it's fun, it's interesting, it's entertaining,
and it makes people push their pens and make people like,
you know, getting their bag.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
So right, it gets competitive.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
What happens if it's like do you ever feel like
in certain situations people have to pick a side?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I mean, I feel like you you it gets there.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's hard, right because sometimes you could be cool with
you know, with everybody involved, but now like if I
do a song with this person, this person not gonna
like me because I they think I'm rocking, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I think it depends on the relationship you have with
the person. Right. A lot of the times in the
industry it really is just business, right, But some people
develop actual relationships. And then I feel like, depending on
what you believe and what you stand on as far
as loyalty and how much you fuck with someone, then
that's a conversation to be had when a bag is
(21:24):
in the place, like all right, like how do you feel?
You know? And then I feel like it's if you're
if this full transparency, like hey, like you know, it
really just depends on like if you if it was
a situation where you're like talking about somebody kid or somebody,
and it's like make it a little different. But for me,
I feel like it really depends on like.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
The situation, and sometimes it doesn't matter of like people
do hype stuff up online they have nothing to do
with anything and make it seem like, oh, she's talking
about this, she's talking about this person, and you really
just like you said, coming hard, just doing your versus
and not even that it's music.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Everybody's rapping and everyone's just you know, like I don't know,
I don't look at it like that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So for you, what do you think has been as
far as long as you've been in the game, what
would you say has been like one of your best
moments to date? If you had to say, this is
when I knew it was lit, This is what I
knew was lit.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Fuck, I think it would have to be ghetto ratchet.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Oh yes, because it was it was.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I never had never had a record where like, I've
went viral multiple times just off like freestyles and just shit.
So for that was the moment where I went a
viral for an actual song. Like it wasn't a freestyle,
so I was able to capitalize off it to the
like maximum that I could. Usually, I go with a
freestyle and I can't do anything. I can't get you
(22:40):
can't really monetize and monetize anything. So that for me
was funny because when I was writing that song, I
remember I was in my room in the Bronx and
writing a song and I remember saying Baddie the Baddest.
The feeling like that the line was corny because I
felt like it was something I wouldn't say, but I
felt like we were in the era where everybody wanted
to be a baddie. Everybody's bay Baddy Baddy Daddy, So
I'm like I have to say something also to make
the girls feel included, you know. So I'm like Batty
(23:04):
the bad is and I'm like it sounds so corny
when I was writing there, but everybody ate it up
song like okay, yeah, clocket yeah. And another moment was
like when like usually like you know, people reach out
for features or for remixes. But people were reaching out
to me to hop on a song. And I have
so many remixes that didn't even put out yet because
(23:25):
because I had so many, it was like a lot
of peopleways wanted to hop on the record. So that
was like a like a dope moment for me.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
And what about tour? Are you gonna do that on
coming up?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I would love to, I really would love to. I
don't know like what the universe has and sore for
me in the future, but I would love to do it,
like like a tour.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think you need to be outside, like I'm just
keeping because the music is fun. That's gonna be dope,
like to be doing even like club days on tour,
even after the show and then go to club I
think that'll be I'm just envisioning, like you know, Kindie
Diamonds next move because people like your personality, they love
your music. Thank you and yeah, all right, well I
appreciate you for coming up here today. Under Dog Season
(24:04):
two is out right now, so make sure y'all run
that up please.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I mean, obviously we know the song jet that's a hit.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Right now, I'm gonna tell you what other songs that
I'm gonna tell you what one of my favorite songs
on here was Well, I already told you that when
we first started this, you know you and fab and
Eric Bellinger because I'm a little romantic girl at heart,
but I like a little ratchet romance.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Too, So absolutely thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
So you guys running there having all right, it's way
up
What's up its way up with Angela.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, and look at this consummate professional Connie Diamond is here,
suffered from her allergies but still showing up.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yes, absolutely, Underdog Season two. Is that how you feeling?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I feel good. I feel really good.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, you still feel like an underdog even after the
first one. You still feel that way?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I do? I do, m M.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, you've had some like really big co signs. I
feel like underdogs don't necessarily well.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I guess you know what. I guess you still do.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Like as an underdog, you know what your potential is
and some people do, but everybody don't know all the time.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Right, exactly, m m, exactly that.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, you know, I just recently talked to Eric Bellinger
and he's on the album too, which I love.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
You consider the one a love song.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It is a love song. It's not like super like
lovey dovey like Maria Scientists, like oh my god, your skin,
but it's definitely a love song, like in my own ways,
that's your type of love song, Like I like a
little hood love story.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So yeah, I like that song.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I was just thinking about it because I was like,
when I was listening to it, you fab and Eric Bellinger,
and I was like a kindie diamond love song. This
is really the vibe of what that would be like.
Instead of a like you said, it's not a I
want to be in your skin.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I mean it's that, but it's not it's not
it's not those exact words. It's more like you're just
singing it the hood way, the hood princess way. M hm.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Now being signed, you're still signed a deaf jam right, Yes, Okay,
So I know I saw previously you did an interview
it was it was like for the fiftieth anniversary of
your hip hop and you were just talking about how
the real work really starts when you signed to a label.
So where has been the difference from you, you know,
when you first were putting out your mixtapes and then
(01:45):
signing to a major label.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I would say the only difference would be the label
kind of have a lot of hands in the pot
where they're kind of like dictating your release dates or
how you're going to roll something out. They're kind of
dictating when when you can or can do something, or
it's just like just a lot of hands in the
(02:09):
posts when you're when you're not signed you're probably doing
a lot on your own financially and just independently just
doing everything on your own. You get to pick when
you want to release, You get a pick what you
want to shoot, when you want to shoot, how much
money you're going to spend. When you're with the label,
it's like they kind of give you a budget for things,
and but it's nice. The budget's cool until it's not enough, right,
you know, but it's a bottom line for real, Like
(02:33):
that's really what it is. But I mean, you know,
they give you a budget. You know, you got you
got some help with different partners like Apple, Spotify, so
you have like some guarantee placements or just just more
eyes and ears on you because of the relationships that
they have opposed to you just genuinely just doing it
and people organically just like gravitying towards you independently with
(02:56):
whatever you release, right.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And I also saw you were talking about how it
is kind of a it's a good time for women
rappers and people have been saying that, you know, so
do you think that when you think about when you
first started doing music, because I know you started really
like it's been what ten years, you know, just about
it's been just about ten years, but it feels like
(03:19):
the time is right now.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
What do you mean in general, like for like for
women before or for me? Oh yeah, for sure. I
mean I take everything every day when like everything one
day out of time, I'm over grace. I feel like
what happens for me is like happening in the way
it supposed to. Like obviously we all have expectations of
what we want and how we want things to go.
But I feel like, little by little things are people
(03:44):
are acknowledging me more, and my music is moving and
getting out there, so like, yeah, i feel like I'm
in a good space.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, jet is a bop? Now, it's jet your word
because I've never heard it before yet, it's not my
word because I've said that. I was like, I know
what it is after hearing the song, but I've never
heard that word before.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's like a like
a slang that we use like in New York. I
don't know everyone else uses it, but because I have
a lot of people reach out to me and say,
what does the jat? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one because.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Lingo, Yeah, I mean jack is a jatty, like is
like replacing the F with a j okay instead of saying,
oh she got a fatty, we said that like how
many years ago? So so she got the jack? She
got the jackety yeah New York slang.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And then your family, right, your is your dad is
from Trinidad.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
My my biological fall he's from Trinidad. Have you been?
I have never been.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Is that something that's on your bucket list?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Ye know? My going for a little baker, you know,
seeing what's what it's about, wouldn't mine.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I could see you at Carnival.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Really, I'm not a Carnival kind of girl.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Really, I would not get that because it seemed like
just from and you know it's so interesting, just from
your videos, it seemed like you would be a fun
outside like I'm.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Definitely funding outside super Turn but not like Carnival is
like scann out, like you know, how do I know?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
How do I You don't think you'd be a little
skin out to I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
That's not my vibe, like I'm down, I'm down, or
go to a party but not in like a not
in like a bikini and the.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know, like again like I don't know this because
I've been. I haven't been in Trinidad Carnival that's a
whole other level. But I've been to Carnival like in
Saint Thomas and the whole point of it though. It's
kind of like, yes, you're outside and it's you know,
you have on the costume, but it don't matter what
you look like, you know what.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I mean saying Okay, you say like that, I'll get it.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And it don't even matter how old you are. There
were literally people out there, like.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Eighty years old in the street dancing in their outfite
and just having fun. There was people who was like
working sweep in the street and they was dancing like
it's just a fun vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I can see you.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, I know. I mean, I don't know. I just
never really like it's just like it's like a lot, lot,
a lot going on. So I would like what I like, Like,
you know, I thought you were like referencing like what
I like actually like be in the card you know,
how to get dressed up, and they got a thing.
I was, oh, I don't want to do that, but
I would. I would definitely like attend a carnival, yes,
but not be in the parade, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Like, so you started writing poetry when you were fourteen
years old? Yeah, and you were actually doing poetry slams
I was.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I did a couple with this around the city at
this Woe's school.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
What was your poetry about?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh? My god. I have an aunt n even Sondra,
and she had at one point she had me a
little like sucked into like like black history.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, Like, and I was my poems is like based
on based on that, and she wrote a lot of
poetry based on it as well. So that's what I
kind of started at.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do you feel like now as you're watching like things
that are happening and being that you do have, like
knowing your black history and knowing all of that, do
you feel like sometimes this country is a little while
right now? Are you paying attention to everything that's going
on with politics? Is that something that you're.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not too deep in it,
but I see things here and there, hear things, and
I'm not a fan of what's going on, especially with
the just popping up at people graduations and just snatching
them off the streets.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's so sad that is.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Like that that hurts my heart for real to see.
But you know, I try to, like, I don't get
to it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's just I was watching this video where an ice
agent like slammed a woman onto the ground. She wasn't
It was when I tell you, sometimes I watch the news.
That's the saddest thing in the world to me, Like
real things that's happening, and seeing how people are acting
like this is New York when you know, I just
feel like it's a crazy time for all of us.
I agreed, you know, and for you being from the Bronx.
(07:33):
You know, Bronx has that reputation of being the wildest.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, I mean I've seen some things. I've seen a
couple of things.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So yeah, how was growing up in the Bronx for you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
How would you describe it if you had to talk
about like a kindie diamond childhood.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I actually bounced back and forth between the Bronx and Queens,
so the Queens. Queens was Queens was cool. Most of
my family lives in the Bronx, though, like it's from
the Bronx. I was born in the Bronx. But so
I was kind of back and forth, like the Bronx
is like you know how you know how it is.
The Bronx is the Bronx. It's messy, it's it's it's ghetto,
(08:06):
but it's I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Where do you think now?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I know people always ask these questions about when it
comes to Burrows.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
If you have to say which Borrow has the best guys.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I would say, hmmm, I would say Queens.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh that's interesting, like Queens controversy.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well I don't why would its controversy? I mean, like
I'm sorry, but like I've dated I've dated guys in
from the Bronx obviously, I've did guys in Brooklyn all over.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
What is it about guys from Queens though?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Because guys guys from Queis are more cool, calm and collective,
you know the I don't feel like they want to
like kind of like snatch snatch you up off the
street and just you know, like I don't know, like
a cool, calm, collective.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
You're right, there's been places I feel like certain, what
is the Queen's common in Brooklyn?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I feel like the Bronx and Holland they more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I mean, I don't get it wrong, like Queen's got
Queen's got the members, they got, they got every borough
has they they side where they got you know the members?
I mean right, yeah, But the.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Only time I feel like a guy who try to
hog let you and then if you ignore him and
he says, fuck you bitch, that would be like that's like,
that's like Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bronx. Yes, I was gonna say,
but maybe because I'm from Brooklyn, I don't experience that.
But when I sometimes it's weird to me, like moving
out of my comfort zone. You know what I'm saying,
When you grow up someplace and then going from Borrow
(09:34):
to Burrow. Now you also have done music with Dame Dalla.
How did y'all even connect?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh my god, everybody was. It's because it's like a
like a random ass random link up right, shout out
to Dame.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And he's serious about his music.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh yeah, he's really good at what he does. Like
he's really good. We actually have a mutual friend and
one day we were out, we were having drinks. We
started freestyling and then we have them back to the
to the hotel chilling, freestyling again, and then I was
telling him like, yeah, I got the song. You're like,
you know if you want to hop on in He
was like yeah yeah, and I sent it to him,
(10:08):
but I didn't think he was going to really do it.
He literally sent me the song back from probably like
two days or something like that, and that's great. He
like he like smoked it. So shout out to Dame.
He's really dope at what he do on the court
and in a booth like like I fox with him.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He's so you know, in addition to that, Joe Button
was really giving you a prop heavy and you know
he's very critical.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
He is, so you had to throw him on here.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I love Joe. I love Joe man. He's so like,
you know, we we're from the city. Is like Joe
is like Joe is Joe, Like he's so cool and
I it's funny because like it's funny because I was
like at SOBS like a couple of years ago, like
wait way before I was signed, and I was in
my Homegirl and we see him. We was trying to
get a picture with him and he was just like, no,
(10:51):
I'm not taking a pictures and I was like, I
was like I can't wait to see him because I
kept go ahead show and tell him like you ain't
want to take a picture with me and you love
me now? Like, but yeah, it was dope getting I
thought that was like super dope to intro him on
the record because he already shouted out the song. He
likes the song, And I just want to do something creative,
like I'm really in love with the nineties two thousands,
(11:11):
and I think that we're in the right now where
people don't go they don't use skits anymore, they're not
doing the fun cursing out skits and the beginning of
the records, And I thought that would be cool to
just bring a little nostalgic feel back to like how
projects used to sound back in the days with skits
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
So what do you think is different now?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Like as far as being signed to death Jam right
and having their input, What are some things that they told.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
You that they felt like you should do?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Because sometimes we have our own idea of the type
of artists that we are and then the label comes
in and they're like, you should try this, you should
try that.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
What are some things? And I want to know what
did you agree with and what did you disagree with?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Well, to be transparent, Like they don't really tell me
what to do. I kind of tell them what I
want to do. And I'm kind of a hard person
to tell what to do, only cause like I usually tip,
like always know what I want to do already, So
maybe excuse me. Maybe one time there was a time
(12:09):
where like they saw I don't want to say who
it was specifically, but like, excuse me, Like I think
I had to do press press shoot at one point,
and they sent me like references of like Lotto and
like Mono Leo, who are too dope artists that I
love and I love their style. But it wasn't that.
It wasn't that I didn't like they wanted me to
(12:29):
like look like them for the shoot, and I'm really
a tom girl, so like i could get on my
girly shit, but like I'm not gonna like do certain
I want going to wear a certain shot. I'm not
gonna do certain sho. I'm not gonna dress a stain way.
And they were like, yeah, we need you to look
like this, and I'm just like I'm not doing that.
I didn't know they but still do that they do.
They were like, oh, we will, we want we need
to shoot because we you know, they want it. They
want to send it out to like you know when
(12:51):
they're like seeding records. They want stuff that are like
super clean and shit like that. And but I was
just just like I can, I can, I can get
you something soft, glad, but I want to do it
my way. So like they that was only one time though.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So and you know, I will say right now, like
hearing you and Cash Cobain, hearing you, it's done and Sandy,
I like that vibe. It's funny because people thought that
New York drill wasn't gonna last, right, that was always
a thing. Like when it first started, it was like, oh,
this is just a phase. But it seems like it's
not going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, I mean it. I wouldn't say that it's I
would say it just is just elevated, like it keeps
like elevating. The sound is not what it used to be.
Like the sound used to be really dark and really
just in my opinion, and he was really was based
on like just like a lot of like drama and violence,
you know, but now it's it's more sexy, like it's
(13:41):
more calm, it's cute. We're making it cute now you
know so and then the shout out to everybody and
everybody that like contribute to that sound, like no, it's
no shade, but it's like you know what I mean,
Like it's just the sound is transforming.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So yeah, things evolve, because I feel like every time
something new happens, people act like, oh, this is just
a phase. It's not and you know, and sometimes it is,
like there are some phases that were absolutely How do
you think that moving around has influenced your sound? You know,
just even going on tour, traveling being other places, Like
(14:12):
what's someplace that you went to? I remember I told
you I just talked to Eric Bellinger and I know
he's on the album, but he did his last project
in South Africa. So it has like an afrobeasts feel
to it. It just came out, Yeah, it's happening.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I'm going to tap in.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's smooth, it's a vibe. But for you, what has
influenced you? Like, what are the sounds from outside of here?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's funny you mentioned that because I was recently talking
with a few producers about tapping into like an afrobeat
kind of record or like a Brazilian funk kind of vibe.
But I feel like, really my influences is from being
in the city, Like just that's just that's my vibe
when I go all the places I do tap into
other listen to other people music, but I don't like
(14:53):
drown myself listening to new stuff because I feel like
that's what keeps my sound unique. If I'm listening too
much to to other artists, I feel like I start
to like sound or do certain things and mimix serns shit.
So I kind of like I don't really listen to too
much new stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
But like, and you are like the queen of remixes,
So tell me what's coming because I already know the
album has been out for like a couple of weeks now, right,
So what does some remixes?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Because I feel like that's your.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Thing too, I honestly, So, I have the song cool Breathe, right,
and I'm like, I want to, I want to. I
want to get a remix with like with like Missy
Elliott and like Doci or like the like something like that,
because I feel like Breathe is like it feels like
it makes you feel like that type of vibe, that
type of error where you could like dance, and I
feel like a lot of like outside of like what
(15:39):
we have now with the TikTok stuff, I feel like
the error where you can go to the club and
like the music that just makes you wants to dance,
And I feel like that's the kind of record it
is so like I want to get like a remix
like that going.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And just like you know, so do you and Missy
Elliott have a rapport?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Have you been? We've we've exchanged here or there, like
social media, you have.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
To appreciate your yes, yes, yes, definitely.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's funny because one time I did a shoot for
like Women's History Months with Vibe and they must they
they was reposting another site was reposting like photos of
Missy Elliott, but it was me. It was me, And
then people in the comments like that's Connie. That's funny,
and then they Harry was snatched it down. But it
was because, like you know, it was like a tribute
to her, so I made it look like her to
(16:24):
the team. It was mad funny, but yeah, shout out
to her. I love her.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But what is it about Missy Elliott? Like is that
somebody you would say when you was coming up. That's
somebody that you really was.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, I mean, I love coming up. Really it was
like Missy, it was Busta, it was Fat, it was
Jada Remy. I really really love Missy because I feel
like she's very unique, very unique, very talented. Just like
anytime I saw her music videos, it was just like wow,
and it's just like stuff that you don't see today.
(16:55):
And then like even in that era, all of these
artists that I'm mentioning, they always had videos that made
you really like just had you see it and it
made you pay attention and just made you like appreciate
their creativity. So I love that about her because I
feel like this like really was no limits to her creativity.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It feels like it's gonna happen though you get im.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm I'm very optimistic and I've always feel like, you know,
as long as I'm like keeping my head on the
swim fool and just I feel like anything I can,
I could get anything I want.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You feel good that a lot of the people that
you mentioned that you kind of grew up like listening
and watching you've been able to work with.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Uh. Yeah, that's what it turned that's what it looked
like into, yeah, you think that's really good? It feels
really good. I remember when I met five, I told
him that. I remember his first was his first mixing,
but the album I forgot which one was and when
I holler back youngin on it, I remember my dad
bought me that CD and I would love this song.
He surprised me with the CD one day. You know
(17:49):
best you got to go like, I was like, oh
my god, I was so happy. So yeah, I was
telling him about that.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It's crazy how times have changed. When we used to
go buy a CD. Yeah, and we used to go
buy the CD. Today it came out. Now we don't
even got to get out the bed.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's on the phone. We can stream its. I love that.
And then you and Remy obviously the two of you.
I like Elm and Louise.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That's like, yeah, Agnes says, she's so, she's a total sweetheart.
And outside of Fab and Jim and everyone in Busta
that has like giving me like advice and the shoulder
to lean on, and she has been very very very
very very supportive and everything. You know, some some people
collab and then they collab and they do the work
(18:31):
and they kind of like they just disappear. But she
and I have a really dope relationship. We go out
from time time, we speak very often. She's she's very supportive.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Total sweetheart, like fuck with me, and can't you can't
tell me nothing that you can't say nothing bad about Remy.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
They're super talented.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And I saw all the controversy over the song head
tapping people, But I saw that you said she was
not referencing Clariciiciell's on that song.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That was a verse. It wasn't about it.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I mean people we rap, you know, we shipped boers.
You know, if you go back into our archives, her archive,
my archov. I'm we're heavy shit talk because we talk about, oh,
y'all can't they just can't do this, can't do that.
I'm the nice that that's how we That's the New York.
That's New York in US anyway, Like that's how we are.
So it's like, you know, like, you know, I don't
have anything really else to say about that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
What are you think of when you're watching everything that's
going on right now? It's a crazy time. Like I'm
looking at everybody beefing with each other and and so
I want to get your thoughts on it, because one
thing I will say is this, right, we looked at
Kendrick and Drake and everybody was like that was great
for music. They ran up the streams. You know, everybody
made money off of that. And now we're watching like
Cardi B's album came out, and you know, I see
(19:38):
BEA's in the studio working, and I see JT's in
the studio working. For some reason, people think that when
women are beefing with each other, it's like, no, they
shouldn't do that. But I've heard women say no, I
could like, just like the guys are doing it. Why
is it different when women are doing records for you know,
about each other.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
What are your thoughts on it? Being a rapper in this.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I feel like it's it's it's just it's the sport
for real. It's a competitive sport. And you know, you
got the girlies that want to stay. You got the
girlies that I want to stay in the and and
you know, on the side and just be cute and
be calm and collective, and you got the ones that
want to get the feel. So I don't feel like
there's anything wrong with that, Like it's just it's it's entertainment,
(20:19):
I feel like, because everybody's keeping it cute.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And then it's like it's like everybody, that's all it
really does for real and be clever like say clever things.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Absolutely Like I don't have an issue with it. I
think it's cool. I think it's fun, it's interesting, it's entertaining,
and it makes people push their pens and make people like,
you know, getting their bag.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
So right, it gets competitive.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
What happens if it's like do you ever feel like
in certain situations people have to pick a side?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I mean, I feel like you you it gets there.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's hard, right because sometimes you could be cool with
you know, with everybody involved, but now like if I
do a song with this person, this person not gonna
like me because I they think I'm rocking, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I think it depends on the relationship you have with
the person. Right. A lot of the times in the
industry it really is just business, right, But some people
develop actual relationships. And then I feel like, depending on
what you believe and what you stand on as far
as loyalty and how much you fuck with someone, then
that's a conversation to be had when a bag is
(21:24):
in the place, like all right, like how do you feel?
You know? And then I feel like it's if you're
if this full transparency, like hey, like you know, it
really just depends on like if you if it was
a situation where you're like talking about somebody kid or somebody,
and it's like make it a little different. But for me,
I feel like it really depends on like.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
The situation, and sometimes it doesn't matter of like people
do hype stuff up online they have nothing to do
with anything and make it seem like, oh, she's talking
about this, she's talking about this person, and you really
just like you said, coming hard, just doing your versus
and not even that it's music.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Everybody's rapping and everyone's just you know, like I don't know,
I don't look at it like that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So for you, what do you think has been as
far as long as you've been in the game, what
would you say has been like one of your best
moments to date? If you had to say, this is
when I knew it was lit, This is what I
knew was lit.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Fuck, I think it would have to be ghetto ratchet.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Oh yes, because it was it was.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I never had never had a record where like, I've
went viral multiple times just off like freestyles and just shit.
So for that was the moment where I went a
viral for an actual song. Like it wasn't a freestyle,
so I was able to capitalize off it to the
like maximum that I could. Usually, I go with a
freestyle and I can't do anything. I can't get you
(22:40):
can't really monetize and monetize anything. So that for me
was funny because when I was writing that song, I
remember I was in my room in the Bronx and
writing a song and I remember saying Baddie the Baddest.
The feeling like that the line was corny because I
felt like it was something I wouldn't say, but I
felt like we were in the era where everybody wanted
to be a baddie. Everybody's bay Baddy Baddy Daddy, So
I'm like I have to say something also to make
the girls feel included, you know. So I'm like Batty
(23:04):
the bad is and I'm like it sounds so corny
when I was writing there, but everybody ate it up
song like okay, yeah, clocket yeah. And another moment was
like when like usually like you know, people reach out
for features or for remixes. But people were reaching out
to me to hop on a song. And I have
so many remixes that didn't even put out yet because
(23:25):
because I had so many, it was like a lot
of peopleways wanted to hop on the record. So that
was like a like a dope moment for me.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
And what about tour? Are you gonna do that on
coming up?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I would love to, I really would love to. I
don't know like what the universe has and sore for
me in the future, but I would love to do it,
like like a tour.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think you need to be outside, like I'm just
keeping because the music is fun. That's gonna be dope,
like to be doing even like club days on tour,
even after the show and then go to club I
think that'll be I'm just envisioning, like you know, Kindie
Diamonds next move because people like your personality, they love
your music. Thank you and yeah, all right, well I
appreciate you for coming up here today. Under Dog Season

on here was Well, I already told you that when
