You guys don't ever disappoint. And I feel like we

(05:24):
We got to work on that. If anybody does animation,
hit me up please, we would love to discuss. Don't
forget that Valiant is going to be joining us today.
He's got a new project dropping in May. The album
is called Prove Them Wrong, because y'all thought he was
going to be here for this long. Y'all thought it
was a fluke. Y'all thought he wasn't going to be
that big. Well, he's proven y'all wrong. It's way up, whether.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's relationship or career advice. Angela's dropping facts. What's up?
His way up?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
At?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Angela?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yee?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm here, Meno's here. He's the award winning advice giving
out all night. Hasn't slept yet, staying closed from yesterday Mano.
And we have Jennae on the line for ask ye
what's up?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Jenay?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Angela?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
I'm good? Okay, So I've never been in a situation before. Okay,
I just got into Corporate America, A nice good job, right.
But this this girl that I work with, I can't
stand her, and I don't know what to do. I
feel like she doesn't like me for no reason, and
you know, I hate to press her at work, but
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How should I handle that? I think you should press her?
So you see her in the parking lot and address it. Well,
how often do you have to interact with her? I
see her at least once today.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
We walk past each other in the hall way, and
I just feel this energy from her, and I'm like,
I'm trying to keep.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
My good job.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I got good benefits.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
I don't want to lose my job. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
At least, first of at least, you don't have to
work with her on a daily basis all days.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You just passed her in the hallway once a day, right, Yeah,
and we see each other in the bathroom, right, I
think you should leave gum on her seat. No, we
don't do that, listen.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I think that to me, it is fairytale land to
think you're going to get along with everybody who you
work with. Sometimes you just agree to disagree and stay
out of people's way. I would try to just not
make it worse and still be you.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think it's always important to make sure that nobody
can say that you did anything crazy or wrong. Don't
gossip in the office about the other person. Basically when
you see them, just be yourself just they might want
to get to know you and you know, and keep
it moving so nobody can say that you didn't speak,
that you were rude, that you were this, you were that,
(07:32):
Because like you said, you're not trying to lose your
good job. And at least if anything happens, if somebody
says to you, you know, you don't like this person,
you'd be like, what that never happened. I have no
idea what that's about. But sometimes it's okay to just
not get along with somebody.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
It's cool, right, But what if she's attracted to you,
she just don't know how to go about it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I doubt that you don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Pull up to the side.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Can I get a word with you? And they should
get fired? And you say for that problem? But I mean,
and do you not like her?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Keep it real like it feels like you're saying there's
some tension, but maybe you also don't like her and
she feels that too.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Well, no, I don't like her because I don't like
those people don't like me for no reason.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I keep So it's an ongoing cycle because some people
are also just socially awkward.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
No, not in this case, Angela.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
All right, Well, I think every time you see her,
just be like, hey girl and just keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You don't got to say too much.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Smile yep.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Sometimes killing people with niceness because then they just look crazy.
And then if somebody says and be like, oh she
doesn't like me. I didn't even know I say hi, okay,
all right, all right, well thank you, good luck Janey,
she will take my FID No she's not you just
go hey girl, And then when she walks how you'd
be like, all right, well, anyway that was asked yee
eight hundred and two ninet two fifty one fifty. If
(08:48):
you couldn't get through, you could leave a message and
ask a question that way. And when we come back,
Valiant is joining us straight out of Jamaica.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's on a world tour.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
He's been on stages in front of ninety thousand people,
and we're going to hear how it all started and
what's coming up and how he's proving everybody wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's way up. This is way up with Angela, let's go.
You are a media maven, right, you.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Never know what AND's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What's up? His way up? At Angela?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yee, I'm here with my guy Maino and we got
Valiant in the building.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I saw you were a mancerat and I was like,
now hold on for Saint Patrick's day. That's like the
day's holiday in Mantsaret, and I was so excited because
I was like, a lot of people have never been there,
So what do you think about it?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yea, and there are four people like on the island
and came over to see you.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
So it was.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
One thing about you too is that you're also self taught,
and I've seen you discussing that. So let's talk about
how you even got to where you are today, because
it has been a grind and I know previously you
also were unruly. You were an unruly artist. While you
laugh when I said, and to be fair, there were
artists there that are you know, super talented. But I
(09:58):
have to ask, because sometimes people will tell you it's
difficult to be signed to another artist.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What was that experience like for you?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It was a learning experience. You don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
When me learning to artists care manage, I wanted more
for myself, so do my own thing. No, no bad
terms or anything now that bigg popcun see.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't know. It wasn't like I turned with any
last suit or anything.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But he was a son in your life away, so.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, it wasn't like that.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
He was like giving an opportunity, like you're anually giving
it that push so people can see it. People know
pop can. So eventually from pop Can post Valiant, I
wanted more. I needed no because at that time my
son just gave something needed. No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Right now I'm talking to Valiant. His new album Proved
Them Wrong is on the way from me. So now
I want to talk about the new music that you have.
They just sent us a couple of songs right before
you got here, and Ugly hit me right away as
soon as so talk to us about the song Ugly.
You think women like ugly men?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
No, it's first we explain, so I have a EP
coming on and improve them around uh with infews with
R and B vibes and dance a music so ugly know,
it's not really like women of ugly men or whatever
like that. It's just joy rough look rough, No, pretty
man like. It's kind of around pretty man like. No,
(11:18):
pretty many ugly mens, so female are more attractive to
more masculine.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, So you consider yourself ugly man?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Definitely? Yeah, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I feel like you're looking a little more.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
No no, no, don't do.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That, No no, no, look at the looking a little
ugly can mix it that little as as far as
it goes, as far as just a vibe.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Once you hear the after laugh and you know it's
a moving Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's a better try to What kind of women would
you say you like?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Then your personality once you're like not valiant, I'm good, you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Like the real you? And that's hard. Now, it's very
very hard.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But I'm not really looking for love and I'm just
looking for his songs.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Mano has the type for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
You no, I mean, listen, what I've been likeing is
hasn't been working obviously, So I think I'm I'm gonna
start with bbw's Big Beautiful Women.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Big Beautiful Women. Yeah, They'm gonna go with those. You
have a type?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Do I have a type?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I like regular guys. I like nice guys to treat
me well. I'm very into like thoughtful people. But looks
do matter to me too. I know some people would say, like,
looks don't matter. I'm not saying that it has to
be a traditionally good looking person. It just has to
be somebody I'm attracted to. It don't mean somebody else
will be attracted to them.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Valiant is here.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
With us, and Mano's in the building too, because you
know some of these topics in these Valiant songs. And
right up maynos Alley like the song about polygamy. We
got more when we come back. It's way up, turn
it up, you vibid way up with Angela yee more.
Now what's up his way up with Angela yee. I'm here,
Maino's here, I'm surrounded by these guys. Valiant is in
(12:55):
the building. What about another artist then, because like you said,
you know, for women, you want somebody that's gonna like
you for you or not just because you're valiant.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Maybe you could date another artist and they've done that,
you know.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Something, not really talk about relationship. I'm I'm gonna be toxics.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I don't really talk about your toxic. Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So the song that Mano likes, the poly song, then
the greatest song. First of all, I want to say this,
I think, guys, in theory, it sounds good, but I
think in practice it doesn't work for a lot of
y'all who don't work for It's hard enough for you,
guys to deal with one woman, imagine having to keep
several women happy.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I've done it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, okay, maybe if the women like each other too,
they do, that's yeah, that's why.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's the part what.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You say, my girlfriend, That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The only way of works.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
But then I feel like y'all get jealous of.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That Toots love. No, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Maybe the females get jealous because maybe you're like in
one more than this is what communication.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But if they end up liking each other more than you,
well they're like, oh, may he coming home?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
We got to act like we like him?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Even think so far, you never know.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Right now, I'm talking to Valiant. His new album Proved
Them Wrong is on the way from May, So let's
talk about the new project that's coming out. So you
have that and you have selfish.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So one of my songs where I'm expressing my toxic
and narcissist wiz.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, narcissistic is a song. So you're aware of it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Self awareness, so awardiness.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So what do you do about it? It's one thing
to say this is who I am and what I am,
But now what.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
If you're a jealous person and somebody wants to talk
to you, and your first thing you put to them
and tell him that you're jealous after this coming like.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Work with it, right, so you say this is who
I am, that's how I right?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Like toxic women, Yeah, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
May no, definitely you like that for a fact. He
does for me.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You're like, guys, aren't you say? Music wise, it's crazy
paying for right music.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's great things to write about. Yeah, and it's exciting.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, I guess for a period of time and then
you could just go on the road and I deal with.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It for a little while.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
For some reason, y'all like to like argue over the phone,
like sometimes may not come in here beefing on the phone.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm like, what do you But he enjoys it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, we can't do it? Should I play some of
my tapes?
Speaker 1 (15:23):

forget that Valiant is going to be joining us today.
He's got a new project dropping in May. The album
is called Prove Them Wrong, because y'all thought he was
going to be here for this long. Y'all thought it
was a fluke. Y'all thought he wasn't going to be
that big. Well, he's proven y'all wrong. It's way up, whether.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's relationship or career advice. Angela's dropping facts. What's up?
His way up?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
At?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Angela?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yee?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm here, Meno's here. He's the award winning advice giving
out all night. Hasn't slept yet, staying closed from yesterday Mano.
And we have Jennae on the line for ask ye
what's up?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Jenay?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Angela?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
I'm good? Okay, So I've never been in a situation before. Okay,
I just got into Corporate America, A nice good job, right.
But this this girl that I work with, I can't
stand her, and I don't know what to do. I
feel like she doesn't like me for no reason, and
you know, I hate to press her at work, but
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
How should I handle that? I think you should press her?
So you see her in the parking lot and address it. Well,
how often do you have to interact with her? I
see her at least once today.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
We walk past each other in the hall way, and
I just feel this energy from her, and I'm like,
I'm trying to keep.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
My good job.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I got good benefits.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
I don't want to lose my job. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
At least, first of at least, you don't have to
work with her on a daily basis all days.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You just passed her in the hallway once a day, right, Yeah,
and we see each other in the bathroom, right, I
think you should leave gum on her seat. No, we
don't do that, listen.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I think that to me, it is fairytale land to
think you're going to get along with everybody who you
work with. Sometimes you just agree to disagree and stay
out of people's way. I would try to just not
make it worse and still be you.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think it's always important to make sure that nobody
can say that you did anything crazy or wrong. Don't
gossip in the office about the other person. Basically when
you see them, just be yourself just they might want
to get to know you and you know, and keep
it moving so nobody can say that you didn't speak,
that you were rude, that you were this, you were that,
(07:32):
Because like you said, you're not trying to lose your
good job. And at least if anything happens, if somebody
says to you, you know, you don't like this person,
you'd be like, what that never happened. I have no
idea what that's about. But sometimes it's okay to just
not get along with somebody.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
It's cool, right, But what if she's attracted to you,
she just don't know how to go about it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I doubt that you don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Pull up to the side.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Can I get a word with you? And they should
get fired? And you say for that problem? But I mean,
and do you not like her?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Keep it real like it feels like you're saying there's
some tension, but maybe you also don't like her and
she feels that too.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Well, no, I don't like her because I don't like
those people don't like me for no reason.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I keep So it's an ongoing cycle because some people
are also just socially awkward.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
No, not in this case, Angela.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
All right, Well, I think every time you see her,
just be like, hey girl and just keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You don't got to say too much.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Smile yep.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Sometimes killing people with niceness because then they just look crazy.
And then if somebody says and be like, oh she
doesn't like me. I didn't even know I say hi, okay,
all right, all right, well thank you, good luck Janey,
she will take my FID No she's not you just
go hey girl, And then when she walks how you'd
be like, all right, well, anyway that was asked yee
eight hundred and two ninet two fifty one fifty. If
(08:48):
you couldn't get through, you could leave a message and
ask a question that way. And when we come back,
Valiant is joining us straight out of Jamaica.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's on a world tour.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
He's been on stages in front of ninety thousand people,
and we're going to hear how it all started and
what's coming up and how he's proving everybody wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's way up. This is way up with Angela, let's go.
You are a media maven, right, you.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Never know what AND's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What's up? His way up? At Angela?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yee, I'm here with my guy Maino and we got
Valiant in the building.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I saw you were a mancerat and I was like,
now hold on for Saint Patrick's day. That's like the
day's holiday in Mantsaret, and I was so excited because
I was like, a lot of people have never been there,
So what do you think about it?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yea, and there are four people like on the island
and came over to see you.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
So it was.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
One thing about you too is that you're also self taught,
and I've seen you discussing that. So let's talk about
how you even got to where you are today, because
it has been a grind and I know previously you
also were unruly. You were an unruly artist. While you
laugh when I said, and to be fair, there were
artists there that are you know, super talented. But I
(09:58):
have to ask, because sometimes people will tell you it's
difficult to be signed to another artist.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What was that experience like for you?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It was a learning experience. You don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
When me learning to artists care manage, I wanted more
for myself, so do my own thing. No, no bad
terms or anything now that bigg popcun see.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't know. It wasn't like I turned with any
last suit or anything.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But he was a son in your life away, so.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, it wasn't like that.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
He was like giving an opportunity, like you're anually giving
it that push so people can see it. People know
pop can. So eventually from pop Can post Valiant, I
wanted more. I needed no because at that time my
son just gave something needed. No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Right now I'm talking to Valiant. His new album Proved
Them Wrong is on the way from me. So now
I want to talk about the new music that you have.
They just sent us a couple of songs right before
you got here, and Ugly hit me right away as
soon as so talk to us about the song Ugly.
You think women like ugly men?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
No, it's first we explain, so I have a EP
coming on and improve them around uh with infews with
R and B vibes and dance a music so ugly know,
it's not really like women of ugly men or whatever
like that. It's just joy rough look rough, No, pretty
man like. It's kind of around pretty man like. No,
(11:18):
pretty many ugly mens, so female are more attractive to
more masculine.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, So you consider yourself ugly man?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Definitely? Yeah, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I feel like you're looking a little more.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
No no, no, don't do.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That, No no, no, look at the looking a little
ugly can mix it that little as as far as
it goes, as far as just a vibe.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Once you hear the after laugh and you know it's
a moving Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's a better try to What kind of women would
you say you like?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Then your personality once you're like not valiant, I'm good, you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Like the real you? And that's hard. Now, it's very
very hard.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But I'm not really looking for love and I'm just
looking for his songs.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Mano has the type for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
You no, I mean, listen, what I've been likeing is
hasn't been working obviously, So I think I'm I'm gonna
start with bbw's Big Beautiful Women.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Big Beautiful Women. Yeah, They'm gonna go with those. You
have a type?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Do I have a type?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I like regular guys. I like nice guys to treat
me well. I'm very into like thoughtful people. But looks
do matter to me too. I know some people would say, like,
looks don't matter. I'm not saying that it has to
be a traditionally good looking person. It just has to
be somebody I'm attracted to. It don't mean somebody else
will be attracted to them.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Valiant is here.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
With us, and Mano's in the building too, because you
know some of these topics in these Valiant songs. And
right up maynos Alley like the song about polygamy. We
got more when we come back. It's way up, turn
it up, you vibid way up with Angela yee more.
Now what's up his way up with Angela yee. I'm here,
Maino's here, I'm surrounded by these guys. Valiant is in
(12:55):
the building. What about another artist then, because like you said,
you know, for women, you want somebody that's gonna like
you for you or not just because you're valiant.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Maybe you could date another artist and they've done that,
you know.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Something, not really talk about relationship. I'm I'm gonna be toxics.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I don't really talk about your toxic. Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So the song that Mano likes, the poly song, then
the greatest song. First of all, I want to say this,
I think, guys, in theory, it sounds good, but I
think in practice it doesn't work for a lot of
y'all who don't work for It's hard enough for you,
guys to deal with one woman, imagine having to keep
several women happy.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I've done it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, okay, maybe if the women like each other too,
they do, that's yeah, that's why.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's the part what.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You say, my girlfriend, That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The only way of works.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
But then I feel like y'all get jealous of.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That Toots love. No, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Maybe the females get jealous because maybe you're like in
one more than this is what communication.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But if they end up liking each other more than you,
well they're like, oh, may he coming home?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
We got to act like we like him?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Even think so far, you never know.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Right now, I'm talking to Valiant. His new album Proved
Them Wrong is on the way from May, So let's
talk about the new project that's coming out. So you
have that and you have selfish.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So one of my songs where I'm expressing my toxic
and narcissist wiz.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, narcissistic is a song. So you're aware of it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Self awareness, so awardiness.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So what do you do about it? It's one thing
to say this is who I am and what I am,
But now what.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
If you're a jealous person and somebody wants to talk
to you, and your first thing you put to them
and tell him that you're jealous after this coming like.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Work with it, right, so you say this is who
I am, that's how I right?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Like toxic women, Yeah, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
May no, definitely you like that for a fact. He
does for me.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You're like, guys, aren't you say? Music wise, it's crazy
paying for right music.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's great things to write about. Yeah, and it's exciting.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, I guess for a period of time and then
you could just go on the road and I deal with.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It for a little while.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
For some reason, y'all like to like argue over the phone,
like sometimes may not come in here beefing on the phone.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm like, what do you But he enjoys it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, we can't do it? Should I play some of
