The Black Effect Presents... We Need to Talk!
On this debut episode of We Need To Talk joining the Black Effect Podcast Network, Nyla Symone sits with R&B sensations Dej Loaf and Jacques to discuss Jacquees and Dej being back together and the energy is unreal. Their first collab back in 2017 left fans wanting more, and now, with F*** A Friend Zone Two, they’ve reignited that creative spark. In the studio, they picked up right where they left off, navigating life’s ups and downs while keeping their musical chemistry strong. You can feel the growth—this project brings a new level of maturity and depth, showing just how far they’ve come.
Of course, we can’t talk about them without giving Detroit its flowers. The city’s hip-hop scene has been through it, but the grind is finally paying off. Detroit artists are getting the respect they’ve always deserved, bringing a sound that’s impossible to ignore. And with the ongoing creative exchange between Detroit and the Bay Area, we might be in for some legendary collaborations. Our convo dives into all of it—the personal stories, the struggles, and the wins that make Detroit’s music scene what it is today.
Dej Loaf and Jaquees' 'F**k A Friend Zone 2' is out now!

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Have you, guys ever been in a friend zone that
you wanted to get out of? Of course?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Did you get out of it?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
No, I'm still in the friend zone right now. She
got and I took him to a good part so
you can really see the trench out.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Have been to the trenches?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
He took you to the trenches, and I have.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Been outside of I had shows everywhere. I'm pretty sure
of it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Everywhere, trenches though, right, yeah, facts, it was valid.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, back in the day for sure.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
What's going on, guys, I was on here with another
episode of We need to Talking Today. I have two
very special guests in the building. We have Ja Quiz
in Dage. Yeah, what's up. I'm so happy to have
you guys here. At the same time, I feel like
somebody should pinch me. It feels too good to be true.
How are you guys?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Great?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Feeling good? Feeling good? Great? I know we got fucking
friend Zone two out. Now. It's been a minute since
you guys did this tape. What made you guys want
to come back together and give us another one?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, we had to. I mean it's been a long time,
you know what I'm saying. Since we dropped first one.
We dropped the first one in twenty seventeen, and the
fans wanted it. You know, we wanted to do it too. Also,
you know, we've been creating music throughout the years, and uh,
this was just like perfect timing, you know what I'm saying.
We found a perfect gap to put it out and
so we found a perfect opportunity also.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And then everything just lined up.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You know, everything just started lining up after one by
one we started working in the studio and we had
a couple of records, but the records got better and better,
and we just like, man, we got to keep working, working, work.
Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying, and it just
became what it is. And you know, we got an
official day and it's lit.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Now. How did you guys reconnect in the studio. Was
it like you were sitting on old songs it was
like these need to be out or was it just
like the demand of the fans.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Like you said, we've been working throughout the years, so
it was never a discon It was a little bit
of a disconnect.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But you know, a lot of life has happened for
the both of you guys in the time span.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, so yeah, like we just took the records that
we had already done, like from those days, like from
twenty do we have twenty seventeen records like we got.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
We got, nineteen, we got.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, it's like all sore.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That one from yeah, like Questions is like the one.
I feel like that popped it off where we were like,
oh yeah, we're doing a part two.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah. Facts that was like two thousand and nineteen in.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Atlanta, So yeah, we was out there and you know,
like I said, we just always had that connection with
the music, like okay, we got to put this out
at some point maybe and the fans they wanted they're
like the people who demanded it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So I don't know, facts make it happen. I'm here
for it. How has or has the chemistry changed it
all in recording process and styles since you guys you
know first did it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Nah, it's the same, really, yeah, it's the same. It's
the same energy. Like as far as the energy, you know,
the conversation is more mature, but as far as the
energy that's put into creating the songs, it's the same.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The vibes, the vibes changed a little bit don't drink.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, well that's the difference, Like I don't
be in the studio I.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Used to be.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I think that's a little you know, that's good. You know,
I still drink.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But is he less fun?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
She told me before?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Right, I'm going trying to you know, I respect it
because he used to be crazy. So as I say,
the music, you know, it's still hit for you know,
I respect the work ethic and how he just like
cleaned it up with you know a lot, like he's
gotten better. Make me want to step it up and
stop drinking or you know, work on my vocals more
because he's like serious and like more serious now. I know.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I've known that he was.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Then, like he was like I thought he was the
mand DM. But it's like I see, like who you
wanted to be then, So it's like he's him now.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So you know, I appreciate that. That's actually what's up honestly,
that real growth. Yeah yeah, okay, what would you guys say?
It's the biggest difference between one and two age maturity
and the music maturity.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah yeah, the content just like you know, I feel
like it was a little you know that cush you know, yeah, then, like.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You know, and this is kind of like a like
a deeper standpoint, like you go to a.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Different level in the friend Zone, like we're not at
the level we was.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
At then, you know, right, it's kind of like you know,
in the music, it's like a step up. So if
you listen to part one, it'll be like it's kind
of like a movie, like when you got your favorite
characters in the movie and it's like, oh, I could
tell on this when they grew up, Like you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's like people always want.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
To see the all grown up versions of things that
they had in their childhood. We got a lot of
people who's made babies off this, the first one and
all that, so for real, were competing with a lot.
I want people to show me they fucking friend Zone babies,
like they they be telling me, Like, man, you don't.
It's like so many stories behind the album, the mixtape.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, So in conclusion to this tape, is it really
fucking friend Zone? Is it like you know what we
hear we in this or is it or are we
keeping it in the friend Zone?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
The conclusion of the project, I'm trying to think is
high end because it's like.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I feel like that curiosity. I think that's what it is.
It's like it's still gonna leave you with a question mark.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh man, okay, you never just show your full you know,
I don't know, and that's life. So you know, you
just keep it there so you can continue going and
keep it, you know, f a friend Zone three, Like,
I think it can just keep going and getting like
you know, it may come to an end where you know,
the title may change, but nah, I think it's you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I'll take a trilogy. I will. I would. I would
love a trilogy. Just the three close it off a
three pack. This one definitely stepped it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, super hard.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Who did you guys work with in the studio producer wise?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We worked with a lot of the same producers, but.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Nash b of course gotta have him Carr from Iris, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Made that some classic classic oh G.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Parker Music Major.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
A couple moret guys, I can't remember everybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Did you guys go back and forth between Detroit and
Atlanta and producing this now?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
We did a lot of these records in Atlanta, l A,
and Miami pretty much.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, started in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know, yep, I feel like Atlanta and Miami are
definitely very friends on type of cities too.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is Atlanta Miami? Yeah, oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Those cities just for like bring real off that.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
In our last video was shot in Miami and Atlanta exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's our territory though, you know that's what.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I can't brought him to Detroit for to shoot the covert.
Most he's came to my stumping grounds.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, it was dope. It was.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I just thought it was dope to do it out
there anyway, just because she's from there, and it's just
like it's something different.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Than a you know what I'm saying. It's like a
way to connect that there. So I thought it was
super dope.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And I took him to the good part so he
can't really see the trench out.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't been to the trenches.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
We took you to the trenches, and.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I have been outside of the turch. I had shows everywhere.
I'm pretty sure I.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Been everywhere trenches though, right.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, facts, it's valid, yeah, hey yeah, yeah, back in
the day for sure, for sure, super valid.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Speaking of Detroit, I actually just had ice wear visil
on and we were talking about how like hip hop's
sound is heavy shaped by Detroit, but it's just not
really talked about. How do you feel about that? Do
you agree with that? Or like does it bother you
at all? You know, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I mean it's we we all know, like everybody's in
the mix, you know, everybody's own deck now, like.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So they see it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You know, it took us a while to get here
and just kind of stap our song and show people
this was us the whole time. But you know, even
with my son, like a lot of people, you know,
they ran with it and milked it out and shit.
So I was bothered at first, but now I'm good.
You know, you live, you learn, you recognize you're grading.
Then you know people gonna copy, you know, so shout
(08:41):
out to my city, Like we we definitely deserve our
flowers in all that we do, from the fashion of music,
the food.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, yeah, Detroit, No, I'm gonna give your flowers because
you were definitely one of the first. Like that's why
I'm like, oh my god, sorry, I please finch me.
I have both of you guys here appreciate that and
just especially as a woman, like you breaking through with
major for the female rap movement like in general, but
(09:11):
then on top of that Beer from Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I didn't even really think about that. It's kind of crazy, Yeah, hmm,
definitely kind of you know, popped it off a little bit,
but you know, open the door for everybody else.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
How were you able to break through, especially at the
time when Detroit wasn't even like this.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Lit you said, said it again.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
How were you able to break through beer from Detroit
even though Detroit wasn't even like this on right now?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Just having that mentality like just how you say, like
just knowing, you know, like we kind of got like this,
not arrogant, but we kind of know who we are,
Like we know we was gonna make it when somebody
seen us. So that's the mentality I always kept, like
if somebody hear this, somebody see this, you know, it's
gonna go where we need to go. So I think
(09:58):
everybody kind of has that, you know, whenever he was
gonna get in the door, like somebody, they was gonna
you know, see a lot of us come through.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So yeah, so it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wasn't really a matter of if it was just like
win like yeah, it was just win for me, like
you know, like that's that's how I always felt like
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And talk to me about like I guess being okay
with imitation being a form of flattery because even I
myself be like I peep it and I don't love it,
but I know I should be flattered. How did you
I guess accept.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
That just at nature, I'm just like you know, I'm
I got a good heart, So I just don't take
things to the you know extreme. I feel a lot,
you know, even if I'm talking to us my people
where they're talking to me and just you know, some
people just was feeding me different stuff. You see it online,
so you get you know, that kind of influences and
(10:58):
trigger certain things.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But it's like do I really care about this?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Do I do?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I really? You know?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And I b you know, it took time cause it's
like you don't understand it sometime like wait, why are
you you wanna be? You know, I just don't get it,
but now you know, I hit it. I didn't get
it at first. It was like cause I personally don't
you know, I'm inspired by things and you know, all things,
but it's like I don't just go and just copy
(11:23):
and paste, you know, so I w it was tough,
but you know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But the good thing about you is like you already
the bar. So you just gotta yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Just gotta find more, you know, find more things for
people to copy, and just keep doing, you know, keep
being who you are.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It's really so natural that it's hard to even.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Care.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's like, eh, so yeah, I understand your lane and
just keep doing you for real, and nobody's gonna make sure,
like you know, in that sense, like they gonna see,
they gonna know who's the real or. I definitely love
when you and Larry collab for several reasons. I think
(12:07):
the Detroit sound compliments to Bay.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
The twins.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Huh, I said that's my other that that really.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is your other twins. Okay, yeah, they's got work husbands.
You one of them.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She got.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It works you're the original work husband. But then she
she got Barry now too. But I'm a fan of both.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Like, you know, we're supposed to make an album too,
for a mixtape, like we was working on some stuff.
We got some stuff in the talk, so okay, we
you know, get that, go on work husband is.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's different energy though with y'all is like not toxic,
it's just more like sensual, where with the other one
it's like sensual, a little more peace platonic friendship. Yeah,
I'm not talking about in real life talking about music
came up? You have, no I know, I know. I
don't want no problem. I don't want to get him
in trouble. I like the situation you got going on.
(13:07):
She seems like a great person.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Every everything is everything.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I don't want no smoke. But but I will say,
y'all know online people will always be talking about y'all
and how cute y'all are and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Of course, what is going on?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Why couldn't DeAndre come to the video shoot?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You said why?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, I mean I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh my god, I don't know why. I mean, it's worked,
you know. And in work environments, it have to be
a work.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
A work in a relationship currently No, I just got
it before year.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, but that's what I think though, Like workspaces have
to feel like workspaces, Like you know what I'm saying.
Like sometimes when you work and you know, you got
people that in relationships with different things like that, sometimes
you could just naturally throw the energy off.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That's what I naturally think, Like, especially when you gotta
work so close with someone, you know what I'm saying,
It's like, naturally, you might not try to wear your
emotion on your face. Not saying she does or anything
like that, but that could happen, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
A person could do that.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I remember working with females back in the day and
they do to be in the studio and I come
in there and I automatically tell my partners like.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Hey, brother, they do feel some type of way.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I could tell you feel me, and it'll just shift
the room, you know what I'm saying. So you know,
I think to just make this the greatest that we
wanted to be and the greatest that the fans deserve.
I just think all the energy should just be put
towards this. You know, time and place for everything, Like
I think, I think things should be separated, you know
what I'm saying, Certain things, time and place.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I get that because it takes like it's all energy.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Exactly everything, And especially when you really when.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You really write your music and you really like you
know what I'm saying, It's like you have to really
get into a world where you could create that, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What I'm saying, to keep that chemistry on and off camera,
like which natural.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's the thing too. It's so really like you might feel.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Like, oh, wait a minute, you know that's my man,
which I get. But you know we're just working, yeah,
trying to you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Know, trying to be great, trying to be great. Makeaway
for the film, man, y'all are great. What was about
to be your follow up question? She said, you in
a relationship?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, because I was saying, like, you know, would you
allow your partner to just be with you at work
on you know, every.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Day or oh every day?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But sometimes cool Like yeah, sometimes sometimes it's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's why it's the time and the place.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
The same things it required. But then it's like, you know,
that's you know, that's all I was going to ask you.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Okay, now I'm with it. I'm with it. I'm with
you guys. Was there any records in this recording process
that you guys were like surprised that y'all came up like, oh,
this this.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Is actually some shiit, Like like what you mean like
a record that's like damn, how we do that.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, like y'all are surprised, like on how good it was.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I think.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I think Just Another Love Song was like a creep
up like see like like wow, Like we had got
back in the studio in Miami and we was planning
to finish our project and I had my boy k
Major down there with us. I had Nash be with us,
She had her people with her. You know, we had
our teams with us. Yeah shut Out to Young Rock,
you know what I mean, that's one of her guys.
And we just got in there, you know, doing what
(16:17):
we're doing, and h just another love song came about,
and you know, I love that song. I think that's
probably my favorite song on the project. And it's just
a classic, you know what I'm saying, It's just a classic.
Even I think that's a song we made. I was
just like, dang, like this feel like the icing on
the cake to what we got, Like this feel like
what we need, like because without that record, it's like
the project would have still been great. But you know,
(16:38):
when you creating an album, everything kind of go together.
That's why the order important, you know what I'm saying
for the songs, because the song could be out of
order and then they might throw the whole album off.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
But this right here was just like.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Per first three we did in Miami on the album,
the first three trucks.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, like just another love song, favorite one back Door,
all those records we did like rite up right up
in there. So it was special and uh, it's just
super dope. And like I said, it was all about energy,
you know what I'm saying. We came to the studio
literally in the same outfit, didn't even plan it, you
know what I'm saying, Like literally, AND's gonna wear the
same shoes I had on some t's when I came
in there was like I thought about wearing the TS.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I was like, this is crazy crazy, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
What is yall signs aries both? Oh hell no, that
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah. So it just bet the vibes.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
And once we feel that type of vibe and it's
easy to make the music, you know what I'm saying.
It's easy because it's familiar. Like man, oh, it's like
this easy. You know, we could easily go to that
world where we know how to.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Create, like been down to not even having other writers
and stuff like we open but we you know, we
got it because it's so like I'm talking to you
like it's dope.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's just like it's like conversation.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, and it's just so so many ways you can
go with it, you know what I'm saying, Because our
whole time of creating has always been something to make
people just guess when you listen to the music.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Like what's happening?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. But that's how good
it is, you know what I'm saying. Like that how
you want it to be. That's like if your favorite
actor is acting in some movies, you're like, wait, they
play that part too good? Like wait, what the fuck
going on? You know what I'm saying. That's how I
feel about us. You know, I feel like it's like
it's too it's so good, like it just be like wait,
yeah exactly, it's like wait, how the fuck cause it's
(18:17):
so good. And this one honestly is better than the
first one.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Really, you feel me. Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, it's
better than the first one. You feel me. It's like
it always gets better. You feel me.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
It's like this this better, you feel me, it's better.
The first one was great too, it was so great.
It was this one great too, though I'm not even
lying to you cause it's like it just flow. It's
like if you if were going in order, like if
we were playing the first one that we played this,
it'll be perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It won't go down, it'll go up.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That's how I feel about a favorite one, Like that's
that's number two on them, Like that's one of the ones.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
To answer that question, like.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I mean, we do it all the time though, Like
the more we make or hit, I'll be like I
want to make another one, like we can be and
we can.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We can go.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
You don't like to stop recording. We would have still
been recording this.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Album, like we can go bigger, like and I honestly
feel like, fuck a friend Zone isn't just our ceiling
of music we can make. We just only use this
type of content. And you know, but I feel like
we can go beyond a lot of this.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But well, where are you trying to take it?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean I'm saying, you know, as far as comic.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, like gospel, like we can get in there, like
it's a music connection. It's like the type of you know,
we kind of think the same in some ways, you know,
we kind of you know it's easy.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Like it's yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Like when it's easy to create like this, you know
it's special.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Like when it's easy, it just like make it feel
like money. You feel like we can get some out
of it. I love that for both of y'all. Actually,
like I like the chemistry you guys have together. I
always liked it on the music, but seeing you guys
in person and hearing y'all talk about it, it's like, ah,
it makes sense. I feel see they got to see
it to believe.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, real talk.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
But Okay, So when it came to doing the track
with together, you under saying that this project is made
to be played in order.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, I think so, Like once you got to play
it the order the first time, you know what I'm saying.
And it ain't no reason for you to skip around
because ain't no features, so it ain't nothing you're gonna
read on the back of I want to hear this
on him now.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
When it's when you take your listen and you pick
your favorite, yeah, then you can can't tell people like
you could float.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
But if you if I had to tell somebody or
we had to tell why to play it, I would
tell my let it ride the first time, then go
through it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's definitely one of them riders. Yeah, just like it rid.
It's just music.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Was it difficult to like put in order? Like? Was
it like, no, I gotta be like this this this?
Did you get help?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Every time we made a song, I was just like,
you know, we was moving to order, like when we'll
make songs like okay, this sounds good right here.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
We didn't change it after uh like after a while,
it was like it's stuck because.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Fact, because I was gonna say, eve, when we will
play the songs, we'll know which one next.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Really added the Miami songs the first top three. The
other ones had been we been had, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And we needed them.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Though we did, we had we still got other records
in the truck that didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But you know, oh, we got so many songs that
didn't make it. That's hard.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
So what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
What I mean, We'll find a way to put them out,
you know what I'm saying. Because we're getting ready to
go on tour too.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So I know, I honestly loved that. Yeah, I wish
the toy was on Valentine's Day. I'm not gonna lie I.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Would be fronting rope your what your four year dude?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No? Why see why you want to play?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Because you just were so live for Valentine's They were like, well,

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Don't worry about me?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Okay, see what I'm saying. You're gonna do that the meto.
You can't tell me though.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
What you mean? All right, I'll tell you off camera.
Your ship is public, not mine.
Speaker 2 (21:49):

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So and I just would like.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
To say, well for Beddy, who's in the folio Breadso it.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Like this guy hates me, this guy hates me. Okay.
So if you guys had to describe fucking friend zone
and one word, what's the one word? You version of warm? Like,
just give me an example, spicy, sensual.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Toxic, I would say a little toxic, a little toxic
and sensual.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
My word is platonic. That's the word of the They said,
I am standing on business.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Okay, the music is there for sir.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay, I'm very you know, platonic.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's cute, it's cute, you know, it's it's friends.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's my word. Friends. Friendship.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
That was a nice word. Cue. I rarely say cute.
I called my son cute it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, men hate the word cute, like, but should be cute,
should be cute?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
I mean girls say it, but you feel me. I
just literally started saying like, oh man, I had.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
To like, yeah, it's not an insult to say.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I feel That's why I was just like, oh man,
my son is so cute. He's so handsome.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I was like, yeah, just my baby. That's the only
time men can use the word cute.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, I guess you know then, but then we're gonna
throw the little very handsome right behind it.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Because you know what, See, we got in fact this masculine.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I mean, that's just really just don't even sound like
rolling off the lip a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You what cute?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Cute?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, yeah, that's the part of the just masculine energy.
I guess I'll leave it at that. Have you guys
ever been in a friend zone that you wanted to
get out of? Of course?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Did you get out of it? You don't got to
go into details and.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Just nah, I'm still in the friend zone right now.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
How did you get out of it? How m h
it's kept working surprising consistency. Yeah, so when I was younger, okay,
and Dade, you said, you're still in it kind of well,
you know it's it's circumstantial, so it's kind of like,
you know, I can't write that, but yeah, are you
(24:15):
going to send the tape and be like number two,
number three on here one through fifteen sixteen? I was
sixteen sixteen. It's a sixteen track project and.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Y'all got more and we dropping that.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
De looks they're gonna be surprised with the deloks. It's crazy.
Have you ever been in a friend zone?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah? I feel like that's like story of my life
actually for real.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yes, I did a reason.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I think because yo business, I think I give like
a girl next door vibe. So I think it's like
I think I give girl next door vibes, and I
think like people will respect me. So because of that,
they don't.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Want to Necessarily, you be wanting them to like cross
that fucking line.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You want them to step over it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
That's what you got to push up.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Why are you gotta push up?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm a lady.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Nah, you gotta go look in the mirror. And push up.
That's gonna work. That's not how it's supposed to go,
though it can though men like women that'll push.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Up women in the friend zone, Like it sounds like, but.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
A woman can't automatically get out.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Of anybody can be in the friend zone, Like you
can get out of much room. I mean money make them,
you know, but.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Not you pushing me like I don't want to take
on mask with energy. Then that story is just not
even fly because like say it works it out, then
it's like, yeah, your mom came and like nah, like no,
I want to be pursued, and I think like like heavy, yeah,
I want to be pursued. I feel like this generation
of men just be getting away with too.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Much shit like nah, work for this yeah one he
can't be chasing men like it's cute once again for
men to do like you know, not cute, say to
being a friend zone, but it's more you know, prominent
with you guys like Okay, he's gonna, you know, try
to chase I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The one, but just hear you guys speak on it.
It's really dope.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
How many times you've been putting the friend zone.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
My whole life?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh god, like what you.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Always go after women that you like shouldn't have or like,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean, what I have a friend zone?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I think I think a lot of guys like we
might start off in the front zone, but then we eventually,
like she said, we eventually gonna get the price eventually
because guy's gonna keep at it.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
See, his thing is consistency. I say, that's why I said.
It's a cute for guys, like they'll chase and chasing,
but a woman just constantly on your body for your
woman finally.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Gives Oh you said like chasing. I thought you.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Meant like not chasing, but it's like not chasing.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Just basically like on you, like seeing what's going well.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You might have been trying it for years, trying to
see I think tim has a woman ever put themselves
out there to you and like like you was, but
didn't put her in the friend zone?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Like if a woman ever approached me like, hey, this
is what I want to do, and I'm like, hey, no, like.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Turn it down.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Essentially, yeah, I'm not gonna say this is what you
want to do, but she just put it out there
like we're friends, but I want to be more than friends.
Have you ever been in that particument?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Of course, like you feel me. It's like it's so, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Like and were you into it now?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
I mean you gotta think like even growing up, like
sometimes even when you grow up with females and stuff
like that, if y'all grew up together, sometimes like when
we all get a certain age, they try to turn
the corner.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You feel me, like, that's another.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Part of life growing up, you know what I'm saying, Like,
and you have to be like, nah, I don't look
at you like that.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
You feel me. That's the first turn yet.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yo, somebody do that to him.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
But I'm saying, but it might be like it might
be like that did There's some more years come and
it's like, wait, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Then you want to spend the block.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Sometimes it be like that. I've seen it happen insanity.
I've seen it happen like wait, hold on, wait, I
need it's kindergarten. Now, that's weird. Watch out.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
And then they get in college and stuff like that,
and then it's a whole different story.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Watch out. It's crazy. See this is why I'm saying,
my black guess right, No, like what, Oh my god, Okay,
if you guys were able to do a visual album
or short film on this project, what would the storyline be? Because, Loki,
if we're gonna have like a modern day black movie
like rom com, like a love Drones of Loving Basketball,
(28:29):
I could like, Oh, this.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Is that for sure the story is here. We're gonna
do something like that. Because it's just make It's like,
it's dope. I always think about that when I listen
to the songs and stuff. I always be like, man,
this would be like because you could vision it. You know,
it's like a visionary project. You could just like see
it and create your own movie. It always put me
in the in the mind of like loving basketball and
all that.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
The videos make it like that we've been making video.
We have no videos to the last album than the Club,
so that that's the only video. We three videos in
though on this album.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, we got another video shoot tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Oh did you guys think that at the Club was
gonna be as big as it was?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah? I knew it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
See that was enough.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
That was one of them. Oh, that was the one
of them you were talking about, Like, I can't believe
we made this I.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Can't believe we made that record, but I knew it
was gonna be after we recorded it. I remember being
with my homeboy leaving the studio like early morning, late
night whenever we left, and I just remember him like,
cut this the one.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
He was just like this. I'll never forget how he
said it, like, cuh, this the one.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Like we have them record music, like I have been
working and doing things like cut this is it, and
it was really that, like it was one of the
records like I like, I can't believe it made this.
I can't believe this ain't no sample or nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Like, I can't believe nobody wants to like like take
it and just you know, you know, like even in
the labels because I was signed at the time, like
they wasn't really rocking with me doing the mix y.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I ain't gonna say they wasn't.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Let me not say that, but it was just like
you know, other things that I hadn't even put out
on my debut album, so it was like focus on
you more. So. Maybe I don't know, but I was
just like, like I said, I like creating and it
sounded the good, and I'm just like this one of
them Oh well, why y'all sleeping?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Who playing?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
But this is it and it still goes and West
Side Car. Like a lot of his beats, he made hits. Man,
Like every b he send is a hit. So it
is to the artist to do the job. I think
I know facts he got that song.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So I love that record. I do it every Thursday.
I have an R and B night out here too
all the time. Like that record always gets burned. It's
it's damn near perfect. So yeah, man, I'm excited to
hear the table.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
We always played this game Questions that need answers. You
played it last time draft, but I got new questions
this time so you could still participate.

Huh, I'm just playing. No, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I promise you I'm not gonna get you in trouble.
Uh huh, all right. The craziest thing, oh, this is
it good. The craziest thing that has happened to me
on tour had to be the time when.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I took an edible and I had to go to
the hospital. No, I was trying to be grown. You know,
I was grown, but I wasn't. My lungs weren't. Yeah,
I hadn't I wasn't a smoker, so yeah, it was
just a bad night. Nicki Minaj's tour twenty fifteen. That
was I was on that tour and uh we was
in Kelly. We was in like like snorts Kelly, like
(31:32):
I don't know, like but yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
So were you supposed to perform?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
No? I was done. It was I was going to watch,
like I was. I have performed. Oh god, cause I
went on first on that tour actually, so it was like,
you know, I was done.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I was trying.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I was going to watch Nicki and got stuck. Lit
music bang even though it's her set, so it's boom
boom boom, and that mixture mixed with that was like, oh,
I just I went to another world.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Are you done with edible?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Oh yeah, I had one since No, Yeah, that was
my first and I won my first trip, I guess,
but that was my last one.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Okay, we just got lightened dosage. That's all like this.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, I like flower, I don't do edible, so like
too heavy too. I need to control my eyes.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And loose Okay, okay, just a recommendation. Fuck with the mints,
the mad light, the light with they're edible. I'm not
doing them. No, all right, all right to our stories.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Uh, it probably was like the I think that was
the Mood tour. We was in a I think it
was in Cali. We was in Cali, My Boy DC.
We was performing like Baby, that's a record I had
earlier on. It was the last show of the set
and I made the last song of a set and
we was up there. I used to bring all the
whole f YB on the stage at the end. We
(32:54):
was performing the record, and I tried to put my
arm around them, you know what I'm saying. And when
I tried to put my arm around him, he like
kind of came back and the microphone went into my
mouth and mess broke my teeth, you know what I'm saying.
And my teeth was chilled, you know what I'm saying.
I had a mouthful of blood. I remember just running
off stage, running to the back and have my coverment.
I remember just smiling, and I remember doing the meet
(33:15):
and greet and I was just having my mouth like
this doing the meet and greet, and I ask the
fans like how long you been a fan? If there
was a day one fan, I'll just show in my
mouth because I knew it was gonna change now, but
if there was a new fan, I'll be like, oh nah,
you know you feel me keeping moving. But then I
went to the Dennis the same night, so that was cool.
I had bet the next day. That was like the
craziest twist story.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Now that's insanity. Showing fans of Bloody Mouth is crazy.
Oh my god, No, honestly, I mean I tell you
this on the time. But like, I've watched this shit
from the beginning. I remember I had a friend book
you for her sweet sixteen. This is like like when
you were just on YouTube. Yeah, like books you in Maryland.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You was there.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I wasn't there. But then when I saw you was there,
I was mad.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm like, damn, yeah, I really missed out, but moved
to her.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I hey, man, I've watched it all.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah cool.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Okay, ten years from now, I want my legacy to.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Be continuing on and on period.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, I would say the same, man, I knew you're
about to do that.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
But in ten years I want yeah, I want to
say in ten years, I want do to know like, Okay,
he is what he say he is, you know, in
the next ten years.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
It should be like, no.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
More arguments, and what is what he say he is?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
You know there's no explanation. They gonna already know what
I'm talking about. I won't even have to explain.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Man, I get killed every time I say that ship anytime.
Anytime I champion you, I get killed.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I mean that's how it goes. Sometimes I want you
to root for the champion.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Alright. Just know I'm getting lashes out here.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Say that's how that's who was. And I first started working,
nobody understood, Like I'm like.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You're up, You're not happy.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
You're gonna you're gonna tell stories about the wounds, like,
well this one was when you asked you about them.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
The hardest lesson I learned about fame is I got.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Fan kills tatting on me when I was young, like
even before I got in the game.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
It's a drug, it's a disease.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, let it be.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, not for me. But you said, like what I
learned about it.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Famous what you make it? Yeah, that's what I think,
Like you could famous what you make it? Like, I
pray to be famous, and I prayed to like Glord,
I pray. I can't go in the stores you know
what I'm saying, Like you did. Yeah, I prayed for that,
like I want to be huge, you like, you know
what I'm saying. So it's like just famous what you
(35:47):
make it. But you can't pray for that stuff and
didn't let it take over who you are.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's mm hmm famous cool.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Like people for who they is, rather you're famous or not.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
That's just me me too though, But I think fame
is a part of like like if I'm cool, like
days were cool in real life, but then she's also famous,
but her fame part is also cool too.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I respect it, like you know, it's like everybody's famous nowadays,
so it's like that's that's the that's the thing that
like everybody, And that's what I always envision for the
world too, like coming from from like everybody. I want
everybody to shine and be not famous, but just have money,
like you know, or just be of wealth and just
you know, fame is one thing because you can be
(36:30):
famous and broken and lost and all of these things.
So it's people who going through so many things and
they're famous and they wish not to be famous because
sometimes you don't want to be seen where you're not
your best or you're not on.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Top of the world. So it's a gift in the curse.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
That's an answer.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, I've been working on my other you know, I
ain't getting no interviews in years. I know. I'm so
happy you're back outside. I mean, you've been outside, but
now you're really outside, and we hope you stay outside.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, we're going on the road.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I mean even without you, sir, I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
You know for sure, she's not gonna have a choice.
It's gonna be so, it's gonna be so.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Also dropped an album in October. I gotta make sure
y'all check that out too. I mean new music coming
to you know. But we're still pushing singles off of
that joint too. But shout out the cash down. We
did a Ladies Leave Your Man at Home. Got the
video coming soon. I'm screaming for that. But yeah, man,
(37:30):
Ladies leave your Man at Home. It's given dayless.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Lead Ladies at Home too. All of that. She was
saying stuff for fucking friend Zone too.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
With this, clearly I can dig it.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Blank is one movie I can watch with the sound off.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Uh, quickling, Really, I know already, you know I know it.
I feel like I can watch any movie, any movie.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
But I used to watch the TV on mute, but

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Outside of making music, blank is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Hobby outside of making music right now spending time with
my son.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah. I love when he's like, I think that would
be my favorite hobby.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
He's like, look, yeah, mine is just probably like I
don't know writing music.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
I don't know music outside of that. My favorite album
of all time is.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
My favorite album of all time. My favorite album I
don't have one, Probably uh, my mood album. It's probably
my favorite album in a lot of time. My mood projects.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Wow, you feel like you haven't talked it yet.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
No, I mean it's my favorite, you know what I'm saying.
It's like, it's my favorite.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
I mean all my projects are like Phase, but that's
like one of my personal favorites because of the time
in the moment and just everything.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I just can remember that whole time. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
No, mood was a great era. What I had to
pull up the track list? Yeah, set it off.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Hot Girl, that was one of them.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
How Girl was my ship? What's else is on here?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
You got what bounce on them?
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Come through? Bounce was crazy?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, b ed that ship was like thriller. You fear
me like you gotta keep it a honted this.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
This wasn't a nasty EP. I can't front.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
It was a mixtape, right, that was a shape free.
I took BD off of there and put it on
my debut forty two Cities.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Most of the free should be the hardest it really do.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I don't know what that because we was trying to
make it. Damn.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I actually really fun. Would know you too?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh man? I freestyled that song.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
That's why a lot of people get on and neighbor
like sounds change.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Well, yeah, what what is the difference you think?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
I mean? I still feel like I got that flavored.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
It's like the difference now is like you know, when
you make certain broad statements like me, people find the
reason to uture as I make great music you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
It's like it's.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Deeper than the music with me. You know what I'm saying.
People want to break my confidence. You know what I'm saying.
I bet if I walked around my head down there fit,
they'll try to pick me up, you know what I'm saying.
But it's like they're not gonna catch me with my
head down. So it's deeper than music with me.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
You know what I'm saying. I make great music. I
got that vibe. You know what I'm saying. That was
just when everybody loved me, you know, saying.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
It was just errors in times too. You know people's
relating to the music, you know, Yeah, connecting in that time.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
I think they love me again right now. Tho, I
ain't goa caap. I'm feeling real love good. Yeah, I
think I'm back.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah, I think I think.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I can't stand this. I'm yo, not gonna lie on
the thriller tip. This T shirt and panties was crazy.
I'm like replaying that moment in time.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, it's what I do.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah, come through was good to come through? Yes? What
and then that was followed by since you planned.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Move was followed by fucking friend Zone.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Wasn't it fucking friend zone?
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Then?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Since you played, it.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Was since you playing damn fucking friend zone, it was
since you planning for fucking frien Zone?
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
No, since you planned? Was after that?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
She plan after? Okay, yeah it was. It was. I
think I was twenty two.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
No where you get that title from?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh my god, I always wanted Yeah it was. It
was real because it was real.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
It was just like like.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
It was like, since you playing, because you feel me,
I think we were supposed to do fucking friend zone
or something was going on. Days was really like, oh
my god, Daves used to be playing shows.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Everything like that made.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Me go there, I don't go since you play.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
But it was like, I'm I'm gonna call this ship.
Since you playing, you feel me like I'm gonna just
boss all the way up.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
That's what I was thinking. Listen to the intro.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
And the days felt the pressure. I was like, you
know what, I I.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
Want to say that was after fucking frien Zone. But
if it was, I know she was the drive force
for sure.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Actually, it was like, since you're planning.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
How does that make you feel?
Speaker 2 (42:44):
She already knew it.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
No, but I just thought about it again, like, damn,
you never know. You know, you asked a question years later.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
You never know.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
You had a lot going on back then, so I
didn't know. But that title just funny.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
So it's like everybody loved that tighter though it is.
I remember I remember thug hat tweet or something. He
was like, man, I always say she playing with mine?
Speaker 2 (43:05):
You feel me. I'll never forget that.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
Like it was just a big thing, like say, she's
playing what is what Nikka talking about? It was only
twenty two, you know what I'm saying is big. Like
I look back on that now and be like, boy,
you is twenty one twenty two?
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Just talking big?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Nothing? Make your hand on the bitch.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Yeah, Like no, I have about that, Roly and thought
I was a shit you hear like, oh my goodness,
I got a big face, Roly.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I'm just shit. Man. I love it.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
I'm actually excited for yall tour for real, just because
even in this conversation it's just reminiscent on the music
and just it really brings you back. Yeah, but it's
like it's like love and it's exciting, and it's not
even like love as in like deep, but just like
the thrill.
Speaker 5 (43:48):
Of like it's just that time and it's not just
like for us, So it's for the people who do
feel these feelings of love and the lyrics, you know, yeah,
coming through the back doors.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
The other one, that's another one, lesson boy, he's.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Calling your favorite one like everybody can relate.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
So everything, it's for the people.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
I think this one, well, we never had a chance
for all the other stuff to go platinum, but I
expect for this to go like platinum fast, you know.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
I expect for it.
Speaker 4 (44:13):
To just be I expect this to be a moment
in time that's unforgettable, you know what I'm saying for us,
for the fast, for everybody.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I feel like it's gonna be like unforgettable.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, I feel like I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
I feel like we know how to we know how
music should sound like. We come from an area it
was nineties babies, so more old than him, but we
know what they want to hear. I think we still
embody that he does, even even with the R and B.
You know, I do all card music too, but I
think for the R and B, yeah, that's the feel of.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
The classic modern R and D sound like yeah right.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Now, Yeah, like the songs you'll find on the Countdown one, O,
six and part, which is why we did the favorite
one video What's about a while in it get that
little feel but just that vibe, that nostalgic like, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
But I can't wait for the tour. We got more
videos dropping, yes, back Door Wait wait, y'all did the
Stress at the same time. What is going on? Are
y'all working on things outside of music?
Speaker 2 (45:14):
Nah?

I mean like we we've just been thinking, like you know,
it's been stuff like like we come up with so
many ideas when we you know, creating that sometimes when
they actually when we actually see it come to life.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
It'd be like, oh shit, how long you saw that?

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Having this show. Of course, until next time, guys, talk soon.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Fuck your friend zone too,
Have you, guys ever been in a friend zone that
you wanted to get out of? Of course?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Did you get out of it?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
No, I'm still in the friend zone right now. She
got and I took him to a good part so
you can really see the trench out.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Have been to the trenches?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
He took you to the trenches, and I have.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Been outside of I had shows everywhere. I'm pretty sure
of it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Everywhere, trenches though, right, yeah, facts, it was valid.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, back in the day for sure.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
What's going on, guys, I was on here with another
episode of We need to Talking Today. I have two
very special guests in the building. We have Ja Quiz
in Dage. Yeah, what's up. I'm so happy to have
you guys here. At the same time, I feel like
somebody should pinch me. It feels too good to be true.
How are you guys?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Great?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Feeling good? Feeling good? Great? I know we got fucking
friend Zone two out. Now. It's been a minute since
you guys did this tape. What made you guys want
to come back together and give us another one?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, we had to. I mean it's been a long time,
you know what I'm saying. Since we dropped first one.
We dropped the first one in twenty seventeen, and the
fans wanted it. You know, we wanted to do it too. Also,
you know, we've been creating music throughout the years, and uh,
this was just like perfect timing, you know what I'm saying.
We found a perfect gap to put it out and
so we found a perfect opportunity also.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And then everything just lined up.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You know, everything just started lining up after one by
one we started working in the studio and we had
a couple of records, but the records got better and better,
and we just like, man, we got to keep working, working, work.
Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying, and it just
became what it is. And you know, we got an
official day and it's lit.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Now. How did you guys reconnect in the studio. Was
it like you were sitting on old songs it was
like these need to be out or was it just
like the demand of the fans.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Like you said, we've been working throughout the years, so
it was never a discon It was a little bit
of a disconnect.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
But you know, a lot of life has happened for
the both of you guys in the time span.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, so yeah, like we just took the records that
we had already done, like from those days, like from
twenty do we have twenty seventeen records like we got.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
We got, nineteen, we got.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, it's like all sore.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That one from yeah, like Questions is like the one.
I feel like that popped it off where we were like,
oh yeah, we're doing a part two.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah. Facts that was like two thousand and nineteen in.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Atlanta, So yeah, we was out there and you know,
like I said, we just always had that connection with
the music, like okay, we got to put this out
at some point maybe and the fans they wanted they're
like the people who demanded it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So I don't know, facts make it happen. I'm here
for it. How has or has the chemistry changed it
all in recording process and styles since you guys you
know first did it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Nah, it's the same, really, yeah, it's the same. It's
the same energy. Like as far as the energy, you know,
the conversation is more mature, but as far as the
energy that's put into creating the songs, it's the same.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The vibes, the vibes changed a little bit don't drink.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, well that's the difference, Like I don't
be in the studio I.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Used to be.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I think that's a little you know, that's good. You know,
I still drink.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But is he less fun?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
She told me before?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Right, I'm going trying to you know, I respect it
because he used to be crazy. So as I say,
the music, you know, it's still hit for you know,
I respect the work ethic and how he just like
cleaned it up with you know a lot, like he's
gotten better. Make me want to step it up and
stop drinking or you know, work on my vocals more
because he's like serious and like more serious now. I know.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I've known that he was.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Then, like he was like I thought he was the
mand DM. But it's like I see, like who you
wanted to be then, So it's like he's him now.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So you know, I appreciate that. That's actually what's up honestly,
that real growth. Yeah yeah, okay, what would you guys say?
It's the biggest difference between one and two age maturity
and the music maturity.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah yeah, the content just like you know, I feel
like it was a little you know that cush you know, yeah, then, like.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You know, and this is kind of like a like
a deeper standpoint, like you go to a.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Different level in the friend Zone, like we're not at
the level we was.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
At then, you know, right, it's kind of like you know,
in the music, it's like a step up. So if
you listen to part one, it'll be like it's kind
of like a movie, like when you got your favorite
characters in the movie and it's like, oh, I could
tell on this when they grew up, Like you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's like people always want.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
To see the all grown up versions of things that
they had in their childhood. We got a lot of
people who's made babies off this, the first one and
all that, so for real, were competing with a lot.
I want people to show me they fucking friend Zone babies,
like they they be telling me, Like, man, you don't.
It's like so many stories behind the album, the mixtape.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, So in conclusion to this tape, is it really
fucking friend Zone? Is it like you know what we
hear we in this or is it or are we
keeping it in the friend Zone?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
The conclusion of the project, I'm trying to think is
high end because it's like.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I feel like that curiosity. I think that's what it is.
It's like it's still gonna leave you with a question mark.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh man, okay, you never just show your full you know,
I don't know, and that's life. So you know, you
just keep it there so you can continue going and
keep it, you know, f a friend Zone three, Like,
I think it can just keep going and getting like
you know, it may come to an end where you know,
the title may change, but nah, I think it's you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I'll take a trilogy. I will. I would. I would
love a trilogy. Just the three close it off a
three pack. This one definitely stepped it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, super hard.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Who did you guys work with in the studio producer wise?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We worked with a lot of the same producers, but.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Nash b of course gotta have him Carr from Iris, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Made that some classic classic oh G.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Parker Music Major.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
A couple moret guys, I can't remember everybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Did you guys go back and forth between Detroit and
Atlanta and producing this now?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
We did a lot of these records in Atlanta, l A,
and Miami pretty much.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, started in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know, yep, I feel like Atlanta and Miami are
definitely very friends on type of cities too.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is Atlanta Miami? Yeah, oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Those cities just for like bring real off that.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
In our last video was shot in Miami and Atlanta exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's our territory though, you know that's what.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I can't brought him to Detroit for to shoot the covert.
Most he's came to my stumping grounds.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, it was dope. It was.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I just thought it was dope to do it out
there anyway, just because she's from there, and it's just
like it's something different.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Than a you know what I'm saying. It's like a
way to connect that there. So I thought it was
super dope.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And I took him to the good part so he
can't really see the trench out.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't been to the trenches.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
We took you to the trenches, and.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I have been outside of the turch. I had shows everywhere.
I'm pretty sure I.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Been everywhere trenches though, right.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, facts, it's valid, yeah, hey yeah, yeah, back in
the day for sure, for sure, super valid.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Speaking of Detroit, I actually just had ice wear visil
on and we were talking about how like hip hop's
sound is heavy shaped by Detroit, but it's just not
really talked about. How do you feel about that? Do
you agree with that? Or like does it bother you
at all? You know, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I mean it's we we all know, like everybody's in
the mix, you know, everybody's own deck now, like.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So they see it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You know, it took us a while to get here
and just kind of stap our song and show people
this was us the whole time. But you know, even
with my son, like a lot of people, you know,
they ran with it and milked it out and shit.
So I was bothered at first, but now I'm good.
You know, you live, you learn, you recognize you're grading.
Then you know people gonna copy, you know, so shout
(08:41):
out to my city, Like we we definitely deserve our
flowers in all that we do, from the fashion of music,
the food.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, yeah, Detroit, No, I'm gonna give your flowers because
you were definitely one of the first. Like that's why
I'm like, oh my god, sorry, I please finch me.
I have both of you guys here appreciate that and
just especially as a woman, like you breaking through with
major for the female rap movement like in general, but
(09:11):
then on top of that Beer from Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I didn't even really think about that. It's kind of crazy, Yeah, hmm,
definitely kind of you know, popped it off a little bit,
but you know, open the door for everybody else.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
How were you able to break through, especially at the
time when Detroit wasn't even like this.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Lit you said, said it again.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
How were you able to break through beer from Detroit
even though Detroit wasn't even like this on right now?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Just having that mentality like just how you say, like
just knowing, you know, like we kind of got like this,
not arrogant, but we kind of know who we are,
Like we know we was gonna make it when somebody
seen us. So that's the mentality I always kept, like
if somebody hear this, somebody see this, you know, it's
gonna go where we need to go. So I think
(09:58):
everybody kind of has that, you know, whenever he was
gonna get in the door, like somebody, they was gonna
you know, see a lot of us come through.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So yeah, so it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wasn't really a matter of if it was just like
win like yeah, it was just win for me, like
you know, like that's that's how I always felt like
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And talk to me about like I guess being okay
with imitation being a form of flattery because even I
myself be like I peep it and I don't love it,
but I know I should be flattered. How did you
I guess accept.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
That just at nature, I'm just like you know, I'm
I got a good heart, So I just don't take
things to the you know extreme. I feel a lot,
you know, even if I'm talking to us my people
where they're talking to me and just you know, some
people just was feeding me different stuff. You see it online,
so you get you know, that kind of influences and
(10:58):
trigger certain things.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But it's like do I really care about this?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Do I do?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I really? You know?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And I b you know, it took time cause it's
like you don't understand it sometime like wait, why are
you you wanna be? You know, I just don't get it,
but now you know, I hit it. I didn't get
it at first. It was like cause I personally don't
you know, I'm inspired by things and you know, all things,
but it's like I don't just go and just copy
(11:23):
and paste, you know, so I w it was tough,
but you know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But the good thing about you is like you already
the bar. So you just gotta yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Just gotta find more, you know, find more things for
people to copy, and just keep doing, you know, keep
being who you are.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It's really so natural that it's hard to even.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Care.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's like, eh, so yeah, I understand your lane and
just keep doing you for real, and nobody's gonna make sure,
like you know, in that sense, like they gonna see,
they gonna know who's the real or. I definitely love
when you and Larry collab for several reasons. I think
(12:07):
the Detroit sound compliments to Bay.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
The twins.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Huh, I said that's my other that that really.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is your other twins. Okay, yeah, they's got work husbands.
You one of them.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
She got.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It works you're the original work husband. But then she
she got Barry now too. But I'm a fan of both.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Like, you know, we're supposed to make an album too,
for a mixtape, like we was working on some stuff.
We got some stuff in the talk, so okay, we
you know, get that, go on work husband is.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's different energy though with y'all is like not toxic,
it's just more like sensual, where with the other one
it's like sensual, a little more peace platonic friendship. Yeah,
I'm not talking about in real life talking about music
came up? You have, no I know, I know. I
don't want no problem. I don't want to get him
in trouble. I like the situation you got going on.
(13:07):
She seems like a great person.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Every everything is everything.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I don't want no smoke. But but I will say,
y'all know online people will always be talking about y'all
and how cute y'all are and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Of course, what is going on?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Why couldn't DeAndre come to the video shoot?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You said why?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah, I mean I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh my god, I don't know why. I mean, it's worked,
you know. And in work environments, it have to be
a work.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
A work in a relationship currently No, I just got
it before year.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, but that's what I think though, Like workspaces have
to feel like workspaces, Like you know what I'm saying.
Like sometimes when you work and you know, you got
people that in relationships with different things like that, sometimes
you could just naturally throw the energy off.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You know.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That's what I naturally think, Like, especially when you gotta
work so close with someone, you know what I'm saying,
It's like, naturally, you might not try to wear your
emotion on your face. Not saying she does or anything
like that, but that could happen, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
A person could do that.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I remember working with females back in the day and
they do to be in the studio and I come
in there and I automatically tell my partners like.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Hey, brother, they do feel some type of way.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I could tell you feel me, and it'll just shift
the room, you know what I'm saying. So you know,
I think to just make this the greatest that we
wanted to be and the greatest that the fans deserve.
I just think all the energy should just be put
towards this. You know, time and place for everything, Like
I think, I think things should be separated, you know
what I'm saying, Certain things, time and place.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I get that because it takes like it's all energy.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Exactly everything, And especially when you really when.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You really write your music and you really like you
know what I'm saying, It's like you have to really
get into a world where you could create that, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What I'm saying, to keep that chemistry on and off camera,
like which natural.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's the thing too. It's so really like you might feel.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Like, oh, wait a minute, you know that's my man,
which I get. But you know we're just working, yeah,
trying to you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Know, trying to be great, trying to be great. Makeaway
for the film, man, y'all are great. What was about
to be your follow up question? She said, you in
a relationship?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, because I was saying, like, you know, would you
allow your partner to just be with you at work
on you know, every.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Day or oh every day?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But sometimes cool Like yeah, sometimes sometimes it's cool.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's why it's the time and the place.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
The same things it required. But then it's like, you know,
that's you know, that's all I was going to ask you.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Okay, now I'm with it. I'm with it. I'm with
you guys. Was there any records in this recording process
that you guys were like surprised that y'all came up like, oh,
this this.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Is actually some shiit, Like like what you mean like
a record that's like damn, how we do that.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, like y'all are surprised, like on how good it was.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I think.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I think Just Another Love Song was like a creep
up like see like like wow, Like we had got
back in the studio in Miami and we was planning
to finish our project and I had my boy k
Major down there with us. I had Nash be with us,
She had her people with her. You know, we had
our teams with us. Yeah shut Out to Young Rock,
you know what I mean, that's one of her guys.
And we just got in there, you know, doing what
(16:17):
we're doing, and h just another love song came about,
and you know, I love that song. I think that's
probably my favorite song on the project. And it's just
a classic, you know what I'm saying, It's just a classic.
Even I think that's a song we made. I was
just like, dang, like this feel like the icing on
the cake to what we got, Like this feel like
what we need, like because without that record, it's like
the project would have still been great. But you know,
(16:38):
when you creating an album, everything kind of go together.
That's why the order important, you know what I'm saying
for the songs, because the song could be out of
order and then they might throw the whole album off.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
But this right here was just like.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Per first three we did in Miami on the album,
the first three trucks.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, like just another love song, favorite one back Door,
all those records we did like rite up right up
in there. So it was special and uh, it's just
super dope. And like I said, it was all about energy,
you know what I'm saying. We came to the studio
literally in the same outfit, didn't even plan it, you
know what I'm saying, Like literally, AND's gonna wear the
same shoes I had on some t's when I came
in there was like I thought about wearing the TS.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I was like, this is crazy crazy, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
What is yall signs aries both? Oh hell no, that
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah. So it just bet the vibes.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
And once we feel that type of vibe and it's
easy to make the music, you know what I'm saying.
It's easy because it's familiar. Like man, oh, it's like
this easy. You know, we could easily go to that
world where we know how to.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Create, like been down to not even having other writers
and stuff like we open but we you know, we
got it because it's so like I'm talking to you
like it's dope.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's just like it's like conversation.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, and it's just so so many ways you can
go with it, you know what I'm saying, Because our
whole time of creating has always been something to make
people just guess when you listen to the music.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Like what's happening?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. But that's how good
it is, you know what I'm saying. Like that how
you want it to be. That's like if your favorite
actor is acting in some movies, you're like, wait, they
play that part too good? Like wait, what the fuck
going on? You know what I'm saying. That's how I
feel about us. You know, I feel like it's like
it's too it's so good, like it just be like wait,
yeah exactly, it's like wait, how the fuck cause it's
(18:17):
so good. And this one honestly is better than the
first one.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Really, you feel me. Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, it's
better than the first one. You feel me. It's like
it always gets better. You feel me.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
It's like this this better, you feel me, it's better.
The first one was great too, it was so great.
It was this one great too, though I'm not even
lying to you cause it's like it just flow. It's
like if you if were going in order, like if
we were playing the first one that we played this,
it'll be perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It won't go down, it'll go up.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That's how I feel about a favorite one, Like that's
that's number two on them, Like that's one of the ones.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
To answer that question, like.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I mean, we do it all the time though, Like
the more we make or hit, I'll be like I
want to make another one, like we can be and
we can.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We can go.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
You don't like to stop recording. We would have still
been recording this.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Album, like we can go bigger, like and I honestly
feel like, fuck a friend Zone isn't just our ceiling
of music we can make. We just only use this
type of content. And you know, but I feel like
we can go beyond a lot of this.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But well, where are you trying to take it?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean I'm saying, you know, as far as comic.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, like gospel, like we can get in there, like
it's a music connection. It's like the type of you know,
we kind of think the same in some ways, you know,
we kind of you know it's easy.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Like it's yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Like when it's easy to create like this, you know
it's special.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Like when it's easy, it just like make it feel
like money. You feel like we can get some out
of it. I love that for both of y'all. Actually,
like I like the chemistry you guys have together. I
always liked it on the music, but seeing you guys
in person and hearing y'all talk about it, it's like, ah,
it makes sense. I feel see they got to see
it to believe.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, real talk.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
But Okay, So when it came to doing the track
with together, you under saying that this project is made
to be played in order.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, I think so, Like once you got to play
it the order the first time, you know what I'm saying.
And it ain't no reason for you to skip around
because ain't no features, so it ain't nothing you're gonna
read on the back of I want to hear this
on him now.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
When it's when you take your listen and you pick
your favorite, yeah, then you can can't tell people like
you could float.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
But if you if I had to tell somebody or
we had to tell why to play it, I would
tell my let it ride the first time, then go
through it.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's definitely one of them riders. Yeah, just like it rid.
It's just music.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Was it difficult to like put in order? Like? Was
it like, no, I gotta be like this this this?
Did you get help?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Every time we made a song, I was just like,
you know, we was moving to order, like when we'll
make songs like okay, this sounds good right here.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
We didn't change it after uh like after a while,
it was like it's stuck because.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Fact, because I was gonna say, eve, when we will
play the songs, we'll know which one next.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Really added the Miami songs the first top three. The
other ones had been we been had, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And we needed them.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Though we did, we had we still got other records
in the truck that didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But you know, oh, we got so many songs that
didn't make it. That's hard.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
So what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
What I mean, We'll find a way to put them out,
you know what I'm saying. Because we're getting ready to
go on tour too.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So I know, I honestly loved that. Yeah, I wish
the toy was on Valentine's Day. I'm not gonna lie I.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Would be fronting rope your what your four year dude?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No? Why see why you want to play?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Because you just were so live for Valentine's They were like, well,
who are you gonna go with?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Don't worry about me?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Okay, see what I'm saying. You're gonna do that the meto.
You can't tell me though.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
What you mean? All right, I'll tell you off camera.
Your ship is public, not mine.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
See you what I'm saying. Look see how you cake?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So and I just would like.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
To say, well for Beddy, who's in the folio Breadso it.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Like this guy hates me, this guy hates me. Okay.
So if you guys had to describe fucking friend zone
and one word, what's the one word? You version of warm? Like,
just give me an example, spicy, sensual.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Toxic, I would say a little toxic, a little toxic
and sensual.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
My word is platonic. That's the word of the They said,
I am standing on business.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Okay, the music is there for sir.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay, I'm very you know, platonic.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's cute, it's cute, you know, it's it's friends.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's my word. Friends. Friendship.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
That was a nice word. Cue. I rarely say cute.
I called my son cute it sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, men hate the word cute, like, but should be cute,
should be cute?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
I mean girls say it, but you feel me. I
just literally started saying like, oh man, I had.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
To like, yeah, it's not an insult to say.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I feel That's why I was just like, oh man,
my son is so cute. He's so handsome.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I was like, yeah, just my baby. That's the only
time men can use the word cute.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, I guess you know then, but then we're gonna
throw the little very handsome right behind it.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Because you know what, See, we got in fact this masculine.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I mean, that's just really just don't even sound like
rolling off the lip a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You what cute?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Cute?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Okay, yeah, that's the part of the just masculine energy.
I guess I'll leave it at that. Have you guys
ever been in a friend zone that you wanted to
get out of? Of course?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Did you get out of it? You don't got to
go into details and.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Just nah, I'm still in the friend zone right now.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
How did you get out of it? How m h
it's kept working surprising consistency. Yeah, so when I was younger, okay,
and Dade, you said, you're still in it kind of well,
you know it's it's circumstantial, so it's kind of like,
you know, I can't write that, but yeah, are you
(24:15):
going to send the tape and be like number two,
number three on here one through fifteen sixteen? I was
sixteen sixteen. It's a sixteen track project and.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Y'all got more and we dropping that.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
De looks they're gonna be surprised with the deloks. It's crazy.
Have you ever been in a friend zone?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah? I feel like that's like story of my life
actually for real.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yes, I did a reason.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I think because yo business, I think I give like
a girl next door vibe. So I think it's like
I think I give girl next door vibes, and I
think like people will respect me. So because of that,
they don't.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Want to Necessarily, you be wanting them to like cross
that fucking line.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You want them to step over it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
That's what you got to push up.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Why are you gotta push up?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I'm a lady.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Nah, you gotta go look in the mirror. And push up.
That's gonna work. That's not how it's supposed to go,
though it can though men like women that'll push.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Up women in the friend zone, Like it sounds like, but.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
A woman can't automatically get out.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Of anybody can be in the friend zone, Like you
can get out of much room. I mean money make them,
you know, but.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Not you pushing me like I don't want to take
on mask with energy. Then that story is just not
even fly because like say it works it out, then
it's like, yeah, your mom came and like nah, like no,
I want to be pursued, and I think like like heavy, yeah,
I want to be pursued. I feel like this generation
of men just be getting away with too.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Much shit like nah, work for this yeah one he
can't be chasing men like it's cute once again for
men to do like you know, not cute, say to
being a friend zone, but it's more you know, prominent
with you guys like Okay, he's gonna, you know, try
to chase I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
The one, but just hear you guys speak on it.
It's really dope.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
How many times you've been putting the friend zone.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
My whole life?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh god, like what you.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Always go after women that you like shouldn't have or like,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean, what I have a friend zone?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I think I think a lot of guys like we
might start off in the front zone, but then we eventually,
like she said, we eventually gonna get the price eventually
because guy's gonna keep at it.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
See, his thing is consistency. I say, that's why I said.
It's a cute for guys, like they'll chase and chasing,
but a woman just constantly on your body for your
woman finally.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Gives Oh you said like chasing. I thought you.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Meant like not chasing, but it's like not chasing.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Just basically like on you, like seeing what's going well.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You might have been trying it for years, trying to
see I think tim has a woman ever put themselves
out there to you and like like you was, but
didn't put her in the friend zone?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Like if a woman ever approached me like, hey, this
is what I want to do, and I'm like, hey, no, like.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Turn it down.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Essentially, yeah, I'm not gonna say this is what you
want to do, but she just put it out there
like we're friends, but I want to be more than friends.
Have you ever been in that particument?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Of course, like you feel me. It's like it's so, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Like and were you into it now?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
I mean you gotta think like even growing up, like
sometimes even when you grow up with females and stuff
like that, if y'all grew up together, sometimes like when
we all get a certain age, they try to turn
the corner.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You feel me, like, that's another.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Part of life growing up, you know what I'm saying, Like,
and you have to be like, nah, I don't look
at you like that.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
You feel me. That's the first turn yet.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yo, somebody do that to him.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
But I'm saying, but it might be like it might
be like that did There's some more years come and
it's like, wait, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Then you want to spend the block.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Sometimes it be like that. I've seen it happen insanity.
I've seen it happen like wait, hold on, wait, I
need it's kindergarten. Now, that's weird. Watch out.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
And then they get in college and stuff like that,
and then it's a whole different story.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Watch out. It's crazy. See this is why I'm saying,
my black guess right, No, like what, Oh my god, Okay,
if you guys were able to do a visual album
or short film on this project, what would the storyline be? Because, Loki,
if we're gonna have like a modern day black movie
like rom com, like a love Drones of Loving Basketball,
(28:29):
I could like, Oh, this.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Is that for sure the story is here. We're gonna
do something like that. Because it's just make It's like,
it's dope. I always think about that when I listen
to the songs and stuff. I always be like, man,
this would be like because you could vision it. You know,
it's like a visionary project. You could just like see
it and create your own movie. It always put me
in the in the mind of like loving basketball and
all that.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
The videos make it like that we've been making video.
We have no videos to the last album than the Club,
so that that's the only video. We three videos in
though on this album.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, we got another video shoot tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Oh did you guys think that at the Club was
gonna be as big as it was?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah? I knew it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
See that was enough.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
That was one of them. Oh, that was the one
of them you were talking about, Like, I can't believe
we made this I.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Can't believe we made that record, but I knew it
was gonna be after we recorded it. I remember being
with my homeboy leaving the studio like early morning, late
night whenever we left, and I just remember him like,
cut this the one.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
He was just like this. I'll never forget how he
said it, like, cuh, this the one.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Like we have them record music, like I have been
working and doing things like cut this is it, and
it was really that, like it was one of the
records like I like, I can't believe it made this.
I can't believe this ain't no sample or nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Like, I can't believe nobody wants to like like take
it and just you know, you know, like even in
the labels because I was signed at the time, like
they wasn't really rocking with me doing the mix y.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I ain't gonna say they wasn't.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Let me not say that, but it was just like
you know, other things that I hadn't even put out
on my debut album, so it was like focus on
you more. So. Maybe I don't know, but I was
just like, like I said, I like creating and it
sounded the good, and I'm just like this one of
them Oh well, why y'all sleeping?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Who playing?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
But this is it and it still goes and West
Side Car. Like a lot of his beats, he made hits. Man,
Like every b he send is a hit. So it
is to the artist to do the job. I think
I know facts he got that song.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So I love that record. I do it every Thursday.
I have an R and B night out here too
all the time. Like that record always gets burned. It's
it's damn near perfect. So yeah, man, I'm excited to
hear the table.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
We always played this game Questions that need answers. You
played it last time draft, but I got new questions
this time so you could still participate.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Huh, I'm just playing. No, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I promise you I'm not gonna get you in trouble.
Uh huh, all right. The craziest thing, oh, this is
it good. The craziest thing that has happened to me
on tour had to be the time when.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I took an edible and I had to go to
the hospital. No, I was trying to be grown. You know,
I was grown, but I wasn't. My lungs weren't. Yeah,
I hadn't I wasn't a smoker, so yeah, it was
just a bad night. Nicki Minaj's tour twenty fifteen. That
was I was on that tour and uh we was
in Kelly. We was in like like snorts Kelly, like
(31:32):
I don't know, like but yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
So were you supposed to perform?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
No? I was done. It was I was going to watch,
like I was. I have performed. Oh god, cause I
went on first on that tour actually, so it was like,
you know, I was done.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I was trying.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I was going to watch Nicki and got stuck. Lit
music bang even though it's her set, so it's boom
boom boom, and that mixture mixed with that was like, oh,
I just I went to another world.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Are you done with edible?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Oh yeah, I had one since No, Yeah, that was
my first and I won my first trip, I guess,
but that was my last one.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Okay, we just got lightened dosage. That's all like this.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yeah, I like flower, I don't do edible, so like
too heavy too. I need to control my eyes.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And loose Okay, okay, just a recommendation. Fuck with the mints,
the mad light, the light with they're edible. I'm not
doing them. No, all right, all right to our stories.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Uh, it probably was like the I think that was
the Mood tour. We was in a I think it
was in Cali. We was in Cali, My Boy DC.
We was performing like Baby, that's a record I had
earlier on. It was the last show of the set
and I made the last song of a set and
we was up there. I used to bring all the
whole f YB on the stage at the end. We
(32:54):
was performing the record, and I tried to put my
arm around them, you know what I'm saying. And when
I tried to put my arm around him, he like
kind of came back and the microphone went into my
mouth and mess broke my teeth, you know what I'm saying.
And my teeth was chilled, you know what I'm saying.
I had a mouthful of blood. I remember just running
off stage, running to the back and have my coverment.
I remember just smiling, and I remember doing the meet
(33:15):
and greet and I was just having my mouth like
this doing the meet and greet, and I ask the
fans like how long you been a fan? If there
was a day one fan, I'll just show in my
mouth because I knew it was gonna change now, but
if there was a new fan, I'll be like, oh nah,
you know you feel me keeping moving. But then I
went to the Dennis the same night, so that was cool.
I had bet the next day. That was like the
craziest twist story.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Now that's insanity. Showing fans of Bloody Mouth is crazy.
Oh my god, No, honestly, I mean I tell you
this on the time. But like, I've watched this shit
from the beginning. I remember I had a friend book
you for her sweet sixteen. This is like like when
you were just on YouTube. Yeah, like books you in Maryland.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You was there.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I wasn't there. But then when I saw you was there,
I was mad.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I'm like, damn, yeah, I really missed out, but moved
to her.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I hey, man, I've watched it all.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah cool.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Okay, ten years from now, I want my legacy to.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Be continuing on and on period.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, I would say the same, man, I knew you're
about to do that.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
But in ten years I want yeah, I want to
say in ten years, I want do to know like, Okay,
he is what he say he is, you know, in
the next ten years.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
It should be like, no.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
More arguments, and what is what he say he is?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
You know there's no explanation. They gonna already know what
I'm talking about. I won't even have to explain.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Man, I get killed every time I say that ship anytime.
Anytime I champion you, I get killed.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I mean that's how it goes. Sometimes I want you
to root for the champion.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Alright. Just know I'm getting lashes out here.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Say that's how that's who was. And I first started working,
nobody understood, Like I'm like.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You're up, You're not happy.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
You're gonna you're gonna tell stories about the wounds, like,
well this one was when you asked you about them.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
The hardest lesson I learned about fame is I got.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Fan kills tatting on me when I was young, like
even before I got in the game.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
It's a drug, it's a disease.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, let it be.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, not for me. But you said, like what I
learned about it.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Famous what you make it? Yeah, that's what I think,
Like you could famous what you make it? Like, I
pray to be famous, and I prayed to like Glord,
I pray. I can't go in the stores you know
what I'm saying, Like you did. Yeah, I prayed for that,
like I want to be huge, you like, you know
what I'm saying. So it's like just famous what you
(35:47):
make it. But you can't pray for that stuff and
didn't let it take over who you are.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's mm hmm famous cool.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Like people for who they is, rather you're famous or not.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
That's just me me too though, But I think fame
is a part of like like if I'm cool, like
days were cool in real life, but then she's also famous,
but her fame part is also cool too.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I respect it, like you know, it's like everybody's famous nowadays,
so it's like that's that's the that's the thing that
like everybody, And that's what I always envision for the
world too, like coming from from like everybody. I want
everybody to shine and be not famous, but just have money,
like you know, or just be of wealth and just
you know, fame is one thing because you can be
(36:30):
famous and broken and lost and all of these things.
So it's people who going through so many things and
they're famous and they wish not to be famous because
sometimes you don't want to be seen where you're not
your best or you're not on.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Top of the world. So it's a gift in the curse.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
That's an answer.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, I've been working on my other you know, I
ain't getting no interviews in years. I know. I'm so
happy you're back outside. I mean, you've been outside, but
now you're really outside, and we hope you stay outside.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, we're going on the road.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I mean even without you, sir, I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
You know for sure, she's not gonna have a choice.
It's gonna be so, it's gonna be so.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Also dropped an album in October. I gotta make sure
y'all check that out too. I mean new music coming
to you know. But we're still pushing singles off of
that joint too. But shout out the cash down. We
did a Ladies Leave Your Man at Home. Got the
video coming soon. I'm screaming for that. But yeah, man,
(37:30):
Ladies leave your Man at Home. It's given dayless.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Lead Ladies at Home too. All of that. She was
saying stuff for fucking friend Zone too.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
With this, clearly I can dig it.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Blank is one movie I can watch with the sound off.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Uh, quickling, Really, I know already, you know I know it.
I feel like I can watch any movie, any movie.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
But I used to watch the TV on mute, but
I can. I can watch pretty much.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, anything, but like your favorite, Like, because you already
know what the Wood.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
That's my favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
That's a good one. And you're just still quickling. Yeah,
are you here for this Luther Resurgence?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I gotta go watch the Luther documentary. I gotta watch.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Outside of making music, blank is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Hobby outside of making music right now spending time with
my son.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah. I love when he's like, I think that would
be my favorite hobby.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
He's like, look, yeah, mine is just probably like I
don't know writing music.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
I don't know music outside of that. My favorite album
of all time is.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
My favorite album of all time. My favorite album I
don't have one, Probably uh, my mood album. It's probably
my favorite album in a lot of time. My mood projects.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Wow, you feel like you haven't talked it yet.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
No, I mean it's my favorite, you know what I'm saying.
It's like, it's my favorite.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
I mean all my projects are like Phase, but that's
like one of my personal favorites because of the time
in the moment and just everything.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I just can remember that whole time. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
No, mood was a great era. What I had to
pull up the track list? Yeah, set it off.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Hot Girl, that was one of them.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
How Girl was my ship? What's else is on here?
Speaker 2 (39:42):
You got what bounce on them?
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Come through? Bounce was crazy?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, b ed that ship was like thriller. You fear
me like you gotta keep it a honted this.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
This wasn't a nasty EP. I can't front.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
It was a mixtape, right, that was a shape free.
I took BD off of there and put it on
my debut forty two Cities.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Most of the free should be the hardest it really do.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I don't know what that because we was trying to
make it. Damn.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I actually really fun. Would know you too?
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh man? I freestyled that song.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
That's why a lot of people get on and neighbor
like sounds change.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Well, yeah, what what is the difference you think?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
I mean? I still feel like I got that flavored.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
It's like the difference now is like you know, when
you make certain broad statements like me, people find the
reason to uture as I make great music you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
It's like it's.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Deeper than the music with me. You know what I'm saying.
People want to break my confidence. You know what I'm saying.
I bet if I walked around my head down there fit,
they'll try to pick me up, you know what I'm saying.
But it's like they're not gonna catch me with my
head down. So it's deeper than music with me.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
You know what I'm saying. I make great music. I
got that vibe. You know what I'm saying. That was
just when everybody loved me, you know, saying.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
It was just errors in times too. You know people's
relating to the music, you know, Yeah, connecting in that time.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
I think they love me again right now. Tho, I
ain't goa caap. I'm feeling real love good. Yeah, I
think I'm back.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah, I think I think.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I can't stand this. I'm yo, not gonna lie on
the thriller tip. This T shirt and panties was crazy.
I'm like replaying that moment in time.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, it's what I do.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah, come through was good to come through? Yes? What
and then that was followed by since you planned.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Move was followed by fucking friend Zone.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Wasn't it fucking friend zone?
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Then?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Since you played, it.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Was since you playing damn fucking friend zone, it was
since you planning for fucking frien Zone?

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh my god, I always wanted Yeah it was. It
was real because it was real.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
It was just like like.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
It was like, since you playing, because you feel me,
I think we were supposed to do fucking friend zone
or something was going on. Days was really like, oh
my god, Daves used to be playing shows.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Everything like that made.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Me go there, I don't go since you play.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
But it was like, I'm I'm gonna call this ship.
Since you playing, you feel me like I'm gonna just
boss all the way up.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
That's what I was thinking. Listen to the intro.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
And the days felt the pressure. I was like, you
know what, I I.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
Want to say that was after fucking frien Zone. But
if it was, I know she was the drive force
for sure.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Actually, it was like, since you're planning.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
How does that make you feel?
Speaker 2 (42:44):
She already knew it.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
No, but I just thought about it again, like, damn,
you never know. You know, you asked a question years later.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
You never know.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
You had a lot going on back then, so I
didn't know. But that title just funny.
Speaker 4 (42:57):

I remember I remember thug hat tweet or something. He
was like, man, I always say she playing with mine?
Speaker 2 (43:05):
You feel me. I'll never forget that.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
Like it was just a big thing, like say, she's
playing what is what Nikka talking about? It was only
twenty two, you know what I'm saying is big. Like
I look back on that now and be like, boy,

I'm actually excited for yall tour for real, just because
even in this conversation it's just reminiscent on the music
and just it really brings you back. Yeah, but it's
like it's like love and it's exciting, and it's not
even like love as in like deep, but just like
the thrill.
Speaker 5 (43:48):
Of like it's just that time and it's not just

feel these feelings of love and the lyrics, you know, yeah,

Speaker 3 (44:27):
I feel like we know how to we know how
music should sound like. We come from an area it
was nineties babies, so more old than him, but we
know what they want to hear. I think we still
embody that he does, even even with the R and B.
You know, I do all card music too, but I
think for the R and B, yeah, that's the feel of.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
The classic modern R and D sound like yeah right.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Now, Yeah, like the songs you'll find on the Countdown one, O,
six and part, which is why we did the favorite
one video What's about a while in it get that
