literally came here today.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's been a month. You were like that, what anymore?
But I was like, no, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't do it like that, okay, But anyway, I'm
so excited that you guys are hearing a new album
on the way. We got a little sneak preview and
it sounds phenomenal. So you want to start by saying that,
but I mean, and it's not even because I'm biased
in any way, because you know, I'm a huge They
are so fair from the beginning, but honestly, it sounds
(00:39):
timeless and perfect for now.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
We put a lot into it our you know, the
normal intent we normally put into our music creatively, but
you know, and it meant a lot, of course, because
it's the first album without Dave.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But he's on It's on it.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
He's definitely he's on its on it, whether his voice
songs that even put together himself, so his energy is there.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
How long have you ill been working on the.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Album off and on it's originally an album that we
had started with Pete Rocking Premiere. We was doing an
album called Premium Soul in the Rocks with Massapill. It
just never got finished and whatever, and it was just
left to the side. So when it was time to
get down with the Legends has It series that massa
Pill is doing, we opened the album up to include
(01:24):
tracks from Dave that was by other producers, so it
didn't have to stay in a Pete in prem world,
and prem is doing an entire project.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
With not as well as Dave's production.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So like we opened it up, so like there's a
lot of new stuff on it as well, but there's
of course some stuff that Dave had did before he.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Passed that You guys are like, you don't stop because
you put that early on in the album and I
saw at the end you said the magic will always
be three yes, and you let it be known. One
thing I always have noticed too when it comes to
day last, So you guys have always had We don't
hear that like falling out stories and this person to
crazy about this person. We hear that so much when
(02:03):
it comes to like groups in general, acrosse, any genre, right,
But you guys have always remained tight.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah. Well we've had our wars.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, but it has never been public because.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Brothers, man. I mean, there's no way you could be
family without having some kind of tiff, you know what
I mean. It's how you come out the other side. Yeah,
there's a testament of being family, you know what I mean?
And all that public shit, it's not family. And I
see that don't look like family when dudes call themselves
family and when you do it like that, that's not family.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
People say they they oh what family argues all the time.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
But not like not in Public's supposed to go home
and deal with that.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It's some of the stuff that you say to each
other you can't really take it back is out there forever,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And then everybody weighs in.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah, and there's a bunch of people in your business.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Now now, I got it. So many questions.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So you guys, really our family haven't met in high
school right in Long Island.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So you came from the Bronx.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah, you came from.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Where you were in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I love that for you.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
What was it like because you know, I moved when
I was fourteen from Brooklyn to New Jersey and that
was like, oh my god, I'm moving to the suburbs,
and what am I going to do?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Like I was fourteen moving to Long Island, and I
was like, I'm moving further and further away from my dreams,
you know, knowing that hip hop was happening, Like this
didn't have a name called hip hop yet. It was
just this thing that was just so much energy around it,
and it was happening in the Burroughs, and I thought
I was moving away from it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
What was out at that time?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Like if you have to think about what you were
listening to, because you know, there was, like you said,
not necessarily hip hop like it was, but we would
listen to like a little bit of hip hop and
it would be like a little segment on the radio,
but we listened to everything.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yeah, we definitely did a lot of R and B
stuff we was into back then. I mean like Tanya
Gone a Heartbeat that was really big in the city,
fun the Ray or like a Fat Rat, anything from
you know, Luther Vandros and the group Change, like all
that was really was.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But I think that really reflects as to I was
just talking talking about when you were looking at the album,
it sounds very soulful, but I think that has something
to do with what you all grew up. The era
that you grew up in.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
A definitely has a lot to do with.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I mean, listen to and for me too, because I
grew up around that time. Also, so listening to like
a Hall of Notes sample and the song because we
all knew those songs. Listen to I Know, I Love
You like it felt good because it felt familiar. And
it's interesting to me because I think that sometimes people
(04:39):
try to act like sampling is not, like a, well,
financially this is not the best thing, but they act
like creatively it's not. But when you use the right
samples and you can be work within that, I think
it's an amazing, indeed accomplishment when you're doing right yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And you can have We've been blessed to have people
that we've sample like they'll you know, like even you know,
hauling oats, they will be like, wow, it's really creative
that you took this song we had and made it
about an anti drug song. The same with Stilly dand
like Yo, you took this one part of the song
and made it about a girl in a hip hop song.
So there's a lot of people appreciate it. Yeah, they
(05:17):
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's amazing because it brings together like the different genres,
because I feel like things can be like very segregated.
Now when it comes to genres.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Of music, it can be.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
It's definitely because I.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Don't be knowing what. Like when you listen to I'm like,
what is that? I have no idea. It could be
a huge song and I just don't know it.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Because yeah, and they feel the same about our classics.
Sure they don't know such and such.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Now I'll go ahead, no, no, no, no, you go no,
you go.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Well no.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I was just trying to say, like there's people always
talk about how bad music is, and I don't agree
with that. I feel that there's just a lot of it.
And so like you said, like you can come across
an artist that has like five million people that follow
them and you had never even heard of them, and
like you feel like you're late. But they may live
in a world that's only on SoundCloud and they're like
(06:10):
in that universe there God, And it's like so it's
really cool in that regards for musicians that they don't
have to depend on one place to get music, but
to be a listener, it's sometimes really hard to keep
up with what it is.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Because you heard this person.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Listen that guy David, the one that his girlfriend died
and they found I had no idea who he was
either until that story came out of the body in
the tesla.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah and the trunk.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah right, And it's a youth following and he was
on tour when all of this happened, like selling out shows,
and I'm like, I don't even know.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah, I saw it on the news. I hit my
nineteen year old, like, yo, who is this?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, he knew who he was.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I was like, maybe we aged up. I guess now.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
One of the other songs from my childhood that was
always a favorite was Biddy's in the bk Lom Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And you said that's a true story.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Well, yeah, a little bit. Look kind of because me
and Dave we used to work at Burger King, so
we just had collected so many stories from that. But
how was that? It was fun working at Burger King
and Long Island and the Sunrise Law. We had a
lot of fun. We did a lot of crazy stuff.
You don't want to know the crazy stuff. But I
(07:21):
just know that I don't trust anything that I don't
see someone making based off the crazy stuff that we
were doing. So yeah, I was leaving at that. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
wash the money rings. But yeah, I think the the
story really kind of comes from when he was on
(07:42):
an LL tour and he ran up in a burger
king and yeah, you tell that.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
One manus very much. No way you messing with the
girl behind the counter. I really got her mad and
she threw my solda on me for.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Me, you probably deserved.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It, I did, but you can't do that.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
But well, I was what nineteen at the time, feeling
myself on the tour with all the fellas and cracking
jokes to the girl behind the counter, and she was
upset and she threw the soda. I mean all I
could do is really laugh. We all laughed. It was crazy,
but it kind of that he decided to put it
(08:27):
in the song. Yeah, And I was like, yo, we
got to make a song called.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Because he was calling every B word he could.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I was.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Where where today?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Well you didn't make it busies and he didn't want
to say b.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
I you know, well, when she threw it on me,
I was like, bitch, what I didn't mean.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
What was your day job before all this? Did you have?
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I had a few jobs. I worked at the cash yeah, texicootist.
I worked at Taco bells.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You worked in oils, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I used to build carburetors.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Wow, very useful.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
A couple of different jobs.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And when the tour bus broke down.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah, they slinging mad burrito and that was.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
All of that.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Everybody worked in fast food at some point.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
So, Masio, you were pretty early on as far as
even with the producing, the DJing and introducing Prince Paul
Yes to day Lass, and that was very instrumental in
the success of the first album, Three Feet High in Rising.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yes, I met Paul around eighty six working on another
record with a mutual friend that me and Paul didn't
really care for. The song we were working on when
I always think about the story High Insight. Paul was
figuring out his exit plan, so we sat in the
car we talked about it. He was asking me how
(10:04):
did I feel about what I was working when I
was like, yo, I don't really care for it. I said,
I think we're doing all we can. I said, I
don't think they really have an understanding of what we're
trying to do here, I said, And based on me
trying to get into this business and learn certain things,
they're not letting me touch any had the equipment, none
of that, so I feel just useless here. So behind
(10:30):
that day, me and Paul connected and next thing you know,
he asked me to go get these cassettes that I've
been talking about forever and they had plug tuning on
it had potholes on it, or four track stuff, Three's
of Magic number before it was even a song before
he was just the music and passcame with that just
(10:51):
stuff we was working on in the house, you know,
And when I played it from him, he was like, Yo,
this stuff was incredible. And then he started to play
me stuff that wasn't making the Statso Sonic album, and
it was things that he produced, and we realized musically
we just had a strong energy synergy between one and nothing.
(11:12):
He was like, yo, he asked me if I was
still messing with a certain dude that used to be
a part of us. At this point, this guy wasn't
the part, which was good because Paul wasn't gonna mess
with us if he was down with us. So I
was like, nah, he not rocking with us. No more.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Was there ever talk to him for him to join
the group because he.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Paul just definitely found like a kinship in what we
were doing because, as May said, him being the youngest
instead his ideas couldn't get heard. So he felt like, look,
I want to dump all the stuff that I try
to dump into stetto into you guys. And he was
very instrumental, and he was.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Very I mean big brother, a true mentor a lot
of how to navigate through the studio, let alone implementing
every idea possible. He was like, no idea is a
bad idea. You know, we'll try every idea, be open
to everyone's idea before we cancel anything out. And we
(12:17):
would do that. And he would also send us home
with homework to having like rhymes ready, scratches ready, beats ready,
which allowed us to have more room to come up
with those skits. Yeah. So once we had the homework
down and we would do that, we have more time
in the studio too, kind of just play around and
(12:40):
come up with quirky ideas and be silly.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Do you think the success of.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The first album did that put pressure for the second album,
because I mean it exploded.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
It did, but it for us I would say it didn't.
We were just really we were just really stuck on
the path of this, always trying to be creative and
do different things. And when we we immediately knew that
when we put out three Rods in that we weren't
going to do that again. We wasn't gonna do three
for three Rods in part two. We knew that. So
(13:14):
when we came with that second album, which we titled
Days Dead, like the Red Company was like, yo, what
do I do?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Only pressure was challenging the images, the misconstrued images.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, you know, take it off was on that first album.
If you had to do a twenty twenty five take
it off, what would you tell people to take off?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Personally? For me? Crocs? I hate crocsh crocs. Please take
the crocs off. Take the crocs off. Some crocs, yo,
I used to take the clocks off?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
What else?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
What else?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
They stopped rocking?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Take learn it could be a healthy rocket ground. Take
the pajamas off at the airport that you're coming at me.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I don't know what. I haven't wore pajamas, but I
do wear my scarf, but you Jammy's.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
On take the scarf off at the airports?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Oh man, he got.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
A list he was sitting about.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Nobody to take nothing, No them do that? How you're
gonna get this cracks deal?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I can see what they call it, the little accessory?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Did that?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Angela? What would what would you want? Take it? Take off?
Take it?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
What would I say? Take it? See, I'm not gonna
agree with none of because I love wearing my pajamas out.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But you know what, you've never wore pajamas in the airport.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I wear like pajama looking outfits, sweat and you know
what I'm saying. No, but I wear like the little
silky pit but there really like could be either.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, I feel attacked.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Let me see what what would I want people to
take off? If I had to say take it off?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
You know what I'm over. I don't mind men dying
their beard in their hair, but too much of.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The Beijing take the Beijing, Yes, take the bait off,
because that was crazy.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
When the Homie fed Up Homies.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Shirt that was it was like, it's like sharp, Yeah,
I don't like that anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's a good one all right now.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But the ultimate ultimate like crew track, and I felt
like it was such a time of collaboration, Like I
feel like we've never seen anything quite like that before,
like Native Tongue. Yeah, I mean, and all these groups
coming together. It felt organic.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
No, it was definitely organic because we would just hang
out in each other's studio. So it wasn't like a
track that was playing, like even Jungle. If they would
have came, say the next day, they probably would have
ended up on ghetto thing, you know, Like so it
wasn't like if we playing like Yo, let's put them
on Buddy. They just happened to be hanging out in
the studio, was around around.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
It was like it.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Happened organically like that in a lot of sessions.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You know, I always tell Mony love I love her part.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You know, I think for a woman seeing yourself represented
on a song like that, it actually works because No,
I was amazing, And I mean when.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I'm lyrically holding up male dominated yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
And I mean when Africa told us like, yo, I
want to bring this young lady around Carmony and she's
a really dope and series like do it, like we
trust your judgment, and she definitely murdered that track murdered it.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
You know, I always give you your props because during
that time, I always and I had a conversation like
what would I say if I had to rate which
album was better between Day La Soul Is Dead and
Three Feet High and Rising.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I don't know which one would I pick?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
You know, because I felt the same way about like
Tribe card quests. When I think about like Midnight Marauders
and the Low Andry?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Could you all pick?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Like sharing what's your favorite?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, people do have favorite kids.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
People told me like I do have a favorite kids.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Well, I would say it is not that it's your favorite,
but it seemed like the child is more in sync
and aligned to you naturally that way.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
But what about between those two?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, between those kids.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Low in theory for me, Oh you talking about the
Day Yeah, Three fe High. Yeah, It's just it was
the first thing. It's like your first kiss and it
was good, you know, your first time having making love
and it was great, Like there was no issues in
the studio. Paul created this atmosphere for us to truly
have fun, be ourselves and people was enjoying what we
(17:41):
was doing. So I would for that reason, I would
say three.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And it was like nothing that was happening at the time.
And I say the same thing, like as your careers
and albums have progressed there it's just very unique. And
the way that songs were crafted, the way that it
was like it could be singing things had a deeper
meaning than you could even and like Millie pulled the
Pistol on Santa it feels like you hear the title
and you're like, what the hell is this, but but
(18:06):
then you go and listen to it and you're like,
oh damn, like this has such a meaning to it.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
How did that song come about?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
It was? It started off as just a title. We
were just getting off whatever Long Island railroad, got on
whatever subway to get to whatever club he was going to,
got off on the In the subway, I saw like
a homeless dude with a Santa Claus outfit on and
it was dirty. And the first thing that came to
my head was Milly pulled the Pistol on sand And
(18:35):
I used to walk around with a little notepad and
I wrote it down. I showed David, like, Yo, this
is a dope title, and Dave was like, yeah, but
what would it be about? And I didn't know, and
then months went by, someone I knew went through something.
Later on poll provided us with a song. I was like, Yo,
this is the song, and I wrote the song.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, isn't it wild that like artificial intelligence and you
guys have art official intelligence, but artificially intelligence is like
really got a lot of people shook up right now.
We were playing this country song that's the number one
song on the country tourist that said AI artists, it's
pretty good too. Yeah, So I definitely want to know
(19:15):
what your thoughts are because you guys have always been
technology for it as well.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I'm conflicted, honestly, and I've always embraced technology. Technology has
been a great tool for hip hop for definitely for
us producers who aren't avid musicians, but we have musicians ship,
you know, and technology has allowed us to work a
(19:42):
lot faster we get to In the early day, we
had to focus more on engineering to get to our
creative space because we're not avid musicians, so you put
a lot of time in trying to learn the intricacies
of the the vice to even get to your creative space.
Where technology is allowing us to kind of bypass a
(20:03):
lot of that and just create and really work in
real time and bring us close to our musicianship. But
then on the flip side, it's almost a chaosk for
music where we kind of creatively pushing this thing to
the limit and we're feeding at our DNA. So now
(20:26):
you can go in there and you could say, I'd
like a beat similar to day Lost Soul, the Trip
called Quests and Slum Village all in one, and it'll
bring that all together in maybe a matter of half
a minute.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yeah, which is crazy.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I want to Swiss and you'll get some really cool
options too, you know, which is a little scary because
now it's taken away from the future creators.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, at the same time, we people have to figure
out we're actually gonna have zen one.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Big gun man. It's the gun that you can't it
can't even stop.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
You can't put like that. I feel like you cannot
embrace it. You can't say I'm not going because it's
a train that's going and it will go without you. Yeah,
you gotta just figure out morally how you want to
use it, how you want to how you want to
put yourself with it. But it's here, is here, like.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, and I say what I say to just to
be just be aware, be aware of your usage with it.
Try to use it responsibly, you know, because it's gonna
undeniably this is gonna be chaos created with it. Just
be prepared.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I was looking at Matt Barnes today saying that somebody
was using AI and manipulating his voice to make it
seem like he was cheating.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Andy gave them sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
It was a wow sonata.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Yeah, it's going down.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You also can use it as an excuse to.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You know, you have met the person that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Anything imaginable. It could be used for, like kidnappings, all
of that, you know what I'm saying, So just be aware.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Of people while getting dark guys, Well.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I'm just saying, like, you know, it could happen. I
just feel like with our genre, our culture, we gotta
do better protecting it.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You're right about that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, you know, all right, Well let's get back yeah
to cabin in this s guy. But I appreciate that
Hebrew Brantly did the cover artwork that is so amazing,
and so talk to me about that link up and
how that happened.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Well, I was just trying to figure out, you know,
what it could be. I had an idea. I knew
it needed to be Sky, but how would it look.
I had an idea for it, and I spoke to
our manager, Corey Smith, and it was like, Yo, God,
does I idea how I want to go about it?
(23:01):
But he just happened to be on the phone talking
to Hebrew and.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It sounds like Corey, see.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
If Hebrew would do it, and he like put us
all in the same call, and he doated and he
was like, y'all would love to and it was.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Just that collaboration, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Amazing and that feels good that, like, you know, it's
been nine years since you put your last album out,
which was crowdfunded to by the way, and the fact
that like people jump at that and and I know
you guys went through such a battle too to get
your music on streaming services.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, man, it was crazy, but we got it. We
got it done. And and you know what was for
me really not shocking but just pleasant about going through
that unfortunate thing was trying to get our stuff up.
Was like the young kids was really rooting for us
and trying to be very helpful because they come from
(23:57):
uh climbing here that you know, they things and they
do deals, and it was like, yeah, like the hold
on guys, Yeah, like what are y'all doing? And you know,
it was things like that that was really really dope.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Did you ever think that it was gonna that it
was gonna be a day work, we'll be able to
stream everything.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Or I knew it was gonna come. I'm just being honest.
We just didn't know if it was gonna come while
we were still here, you know what I'm saying. But
we knew it was gonna come, and we knew how
important it was for it to happen because I would
even say to me, it's like, Yo, the longer we take,
you know how it is a year go by, and
a year for people it's like seven years, like they'll
forget about you, you know what.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Like dog years.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
It's important to be on the right side of the deal.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah. You can't just give give in no no, no, you.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Know yeah, that's also I mean, I'm just thinking about
even during the time when the earlier albums were made,
the laws were so are the way that music was clear,
it is so different you know than it is now,
and so I know that was an issue for you
guys as well. Even though so the new album Cabin
in the Sky, though it feels like there's still it's
(25:04):
still felt like it was some sample heavy things on
here too.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
It's sample heavy.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You shy away from.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
The I mean creatively, We're never going to shy away
from that. It's what we are, who we are. It's
just doing the correct business to make sure you know,
things are cleared properly.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I heard some cruise summer, I heard some can You
Stand the Rain?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Listen, and I didn't realize that was I knew the song,
but I didn't know that was nay. I was like,
we had to look it up.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Like remember back in the day they used to have
soul kitchen. Do you remember these parties?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
What is? Tell me what what a soul kitchen?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Come on, Mai, let us let them because I feel like, listen,
so I've already envisioned.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
It, Okay, I need to know what it is.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
First a day, let's soul party, but let's bring soul
Kitchen back for it. And then and it could really
be like the day Last Soul going through like this
the original so what they do is they do the
original song like and then they do the newer version.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, okay, yeah, so was the spot?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Was the spot because we don't have stuff like that
and not really here and there it pops up, not
in New York's kind of like them.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
You know. It's it's more of the certain DJs that
will do that kind of thing. It's still it's not
an actual event. Certain DJs that will focus on educating.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I think that would go though. I'm just giving you
I'll be there so you do it.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
So sounds like an idea.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Because they will go perfect.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
But this and even with the whole massive pill, you know,
with the whole legend has a series that's happening right now.
I can see something like that, and I think you
would be the guy to bring it.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You've been sitting on that.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Get we're working on.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
DJ used to.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
University.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Let's not forget y'all.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Day La So came to Wesleyan University and did our
spring flay.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I was in college.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You know how amazing that was for us, and like
literally you know sometimes we had Parliament Funkadelic one year
and then we had Dayla. So when I tell you,
we were outside on that it's called the hill where
we all go and watch. That was one of the
most amazing things that we ever had at Wesleyan show.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah, college Pictures show.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, you got pictures of us.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
We got pictures of us because yeah, that's when we
met all all each other. Corey was there. Corey knew
of course. Yeah, and then and and she introduced us
to you and Maria.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And yeah, and then that led to us almost making
it onto a day.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, I didn't go.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
The singing because this is what she's gonna understand. They
were singing the dune stop making up to me. So
you remember when I kept trying to figure out who
I was doing. I had won a version of Most
I had them do a version I had Renee. Yeah,
they didn't. And the crazy thing is that they sounded
(28:34):
closer to the way I heard it. But Angela, Angela.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I'm gonna tell you what happened. Literally, they were like, look,
Pass is trying to do this hook. He wants people
that can't sing for real to come and do it perfect.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Right, So we go in there and I guess it
was like really off.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
It was, yeah, because I wanted to kind of feel
like that. You know, hey, DJ, like it went really
on but little off.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Not the rhythm.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
I want the rhythm on, but vision rhythm rhythm.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
What I'm saying, I would have done it.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
It would it would have fixed where you need to fix.
You're right.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Another, So Jasmine, we were going through the album. I
want to know what your standout sid and then I'm
gonna tell you mine.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Mine paddy Cake.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
We both love Patty You know what? That is nice
and nostalgic for us, like yes.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
And my.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
That was patient.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
That was my my number one and number two. I
felt like it was its very soulful. Is the package
that was? And I just want to say, I just
want to say, also, when I'm listening to the album,
I feel like I'm watching like a Spike Lee joint,
like a movie.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
It's done.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yes, okay anyway, but yeah, so those are my top two.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, we both wear loving Patty Cake. Man, I listen,
I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Fry go ahead, the NA sample joint, okay.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And it's hard because we don't have the album, the
names of the.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Songs, okay, the way that it was sent to us, Yeah,
it's like kind of cut off. But oh, so you
know me, I like a little R and b ish
type and I want to flash back to another song
to Hey Love.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, and just.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Knowing that you guys were up here. There's times in
my life where I'm just like, I'm just put on
a whole day La song medley because there's just so
many songs across like different vibes, like Saturdays, and but
hay Love.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Was always, for some reason, my joint. Real, Yes, that's.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Your favorite, that's your favorite day last soul song.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I don't know if I was. It's up there for
some reason. I just love that song.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And the young lady doing the singing. It's the same
young lady who did Hey.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
DJ Well Died, and so Cabin and the Sky that's
also a musical. Yeah, all right, So tell me about
just even that whole concept of naming this album.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Well, just usually when we're working on albums, the title
just can come when it needs to come. You working
on songs, and when something really someone comes with an idea,
then you land on it and use the title. But
so it was just as business as usual when it
came to that, like, all right, we gotta come with
a title soon. So one day I'm just home watching TV,
(31:33):
scrolling through movies to watch, and I come across the
movie Cabin in the Sky. So as soon as I
saw the title, I was like, Wow, this could be
the name of the album, you know what I'm saying, Like,
I really felt like it just resonated, like I just
felt Dave, it just sounded really good, and so I like,
I just put it to the side, and I saw
(31:53):
that asking different people. I Askedean see he was like, Yo,
that's that's amazing. At someone else they was like, Yo,
that's that's really a dope title. So it just really
started talking to me. And then what really like locked
it in for me. Every song we were working on
up until that point, in my computer it just said
New Daylight Album twenty twenty five, So it was something
(32:15):
new I had placed in the playlist that I need
to transfer over to my phone. It wasn't going in.
It wasn't going in, and some told me to change
the title, and I put Cab in the Sky. Everything
went in, and I was like, I was like, maybe
this is Dave telling me that's the one, like do it?
So yeah, and so that's it. That's that's how we
(32:37):
just stuck to the type now. And honestly, I had
never heard of the musical the movie Crazy Enough, and
I watched it and it was like, Yo, this is funny,
this is really cool. So many amazing actresses and actress
Lena Horn, yeah, actress was in it. Lena Holm was
in it. It was really really, really dope. So I
was like, yeah, it just spoke to me and I
(32:58):
just felt like this should be you know, make sure
I checked him with Mason. I was like, yeah, I
think this could be a really dope title. And it
became the title.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
And it's really dope because it sounds like Dave is
working on the album from the heaven.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
And Man, and that's what I envisioned, like you guys
in a cabin together working on this in the sky.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Definitely, like we poke our heads up in the cloud,
come back down and do what we gotta do.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
One thing I saw you guys have mentioned this before
is that nobody ever went solo, Like nobody ever said.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
But you know, I always wanted him to do a
solo album at one point, you know, but he was
adamant or not. It was very adamant about.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Not doing that right now.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
It was something that wasn't on my spirit to really do.
Me and Dave always worked on music because like Mace
was saying, like when we home, we would just all
work on music. But it wasn't something I felt like, No,
I gotta domuch, I gotta get this off, I gotta
get this paper by myself. Now we were just a group.
I always just love for us to be together to
do what we need to do.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
You know, the label the labels never approached you like,
you know how they'll do that, like.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Hey, certain people have always said like they would love
to hear a Pass album. But I never really took the.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Bait, you know what about working with some of the
younger artists because I could see I think somebody should
tap y'all to kind of like help produce. Because I
could see that angel who would you have in mind?
I could see like a j I d Love. I
think that would be dope. Who else could I see?
(34:38):
Baby Tait?
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Maybe that you know, I was thinking it may not
be a good fit.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Chance the rapper, Oh yeah, and Chance, Yeah, I liked
everybody just mentioned yeah man like and I'm being honest,
like and making this album.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
You know, we always approach things the way we want
to approach things. We always look at songs and be like,
you know what this this song can use this instrument,
this song can use this vocal instrument called black thought.
Like that's how we do songs normally. We don't just
put someone on a song. That's a great opportunity. And
you know, mats Piel was loving everything and they was like,
yoh man, you should try to put some young dudes
(35:13):
on there, because you know, people who come from your DNA.
And we was really with that idea. But it was
just like when we reached out to some of them,
you know, they played dead or you know, yeah, or
some was like yo, they were just too busy, Like
we wanted Tyler on a joint, but Tyler was just
he had he was in the middle of toying, just
(35:34):
released a new album, and he was just moving all
around the world. He wanted to do it. He just
couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Well, when people hear it, they're gonna be like, damn,
I wish I would have made it. But y'all got
the heavy hitters on here. Yeah a new single.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I mean you know, yeah, Blouse on the album Killing
mic Is on the album Common. That's our family. Yummy, yeah, yummy,
you know black thought. So it's a lot of good
family people and people we respect and we knew they
would like stand up and get it done.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
So it all makes sense.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
It's the vibes.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Yeah, without question.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Do your kids know?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
When did your kids realize when they were young that
your celebrities, Like when did they first be like.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Oh, I mean I got five. So it was just
different for each of them. I mean my oldest daughter,
she kind of came and really knowing I was on.
We was like recording our third album by the time
she was born, so she was just always in the studio,
so she knew I did something doing music. But I
mean I remember my other kids by the time we
had did some doll with pm B at the point
(36:39):
because we had the Bionics album out, and so I
remember my son thinking I was like an astronaut. So
he was like, yo, dad's an astronaut. I was like, nah,
that's just a toy that relates to my album where
we had astro stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Is my son's. They wrestled with the idea that we
were so different from everybody else, and then when we
did Rock the Bells is when it really clicked to
them that we were special. That's because all that Yeah
(37:16):
and and Red and meth and everybody was on it.
Pretty much every rapper they love love us. And they
was shocked like like whoa ye, like my son's actually
taught me like it was like it was like who
(37:37):
are you? It's like, yo, who are you?
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Man?
Speaker 5 (37:46):
What? Buster love you like that? You know? Buster your god?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Your god?
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Do you know who.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Your father is?
Speaker 4 (37:56):
That night that night I saw you. I have having joint,
I have my something with me, my youngest and yeah,
and Buster pulled them to the side like that too,
and he was like come in. He was like he's
like you my nephew, and he was like uncle Buster.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Another time, when my boys got old enough to start
hanging out in clubs, when they started hanging out in clubs,
I stopped going for sure. There was definitely my cue.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
I had my had my first shot with my daughter.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
I've had party with my kids. We'll get a twister.
But they hanging out now like they're.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Just like you know, they club live and.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Spots like that, you know, could get the table.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
I didn't tap out.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
I would have tapped in, which I would have tapped in.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
They would go, they would go. They ran into Buster
one night and Buster was shocked to see them because
they've grown now, you know, and it was like uncle Bus.
He looked like it was like he makes so he
was like, you are clear the extra over the fact, Joe.
(39:10):
They come home with this crazy experience.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I love that.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
It was crazy going to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
They never come back.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
You give a good bust impersonation to.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (39:26):

and we gotta do it again. I've been saying every time,
I'm like, when are you'all gonna come? And like bless me,

It was. It was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
