guy since then. What I mean, You've never flipped, You've never switched
(02:01):
up on anybody. Yeah. No, I've been watching myself grow. You

to look at my life and thethings that I've done, like from just
like a bird's eye point of view, you know what I mean? To
see the blessings, you know whatI mean. I think God bless me
with that. And you know,just growing up in Baltimore, like it's
it's been. It's been amazing tolike have this opportunity to like go through
(02:23):
everything and and bounce back and loseit and come back and just like I
just have so much gratitude for theprocess, you know, I'm the process
of being a winner, the processof being grinding and the real hustling and
just you know what I mean,but also having the talent to go with
it. Like it's just it's ablessing. Yea. The Baltimore accent ever
ever hearing it? Yeah, Ididn't lived in Atlanta, I didn't lived
(02:45):
in New York everywhere here Florida,So I don't even know what it is
right now. What's the Baltimore accent? What is it? What is it?
It's just more like too and likedo and like it's just I think
the words is just a little morelike slurred a little bit. Yes,
yes, yes, I heard someonefrom Baltimore say the word curfew and it
was different curfew. Yeah, itwas like curfood. It was like,
(03:07):
yeah, it's like it's a lotof using there slam, Yes, sir,
main One. We're at it withMain One. Yeah, crazy with
a little way and Tiger Dog Likehow this concept come about? It's a
movie? Shit. Me and Tigerwas just out one night, just in
the city doing what we do,and we went back to the studio like
two am. She was me,Tiger, my boy Andy Dre London,
(03:30):
a couple of WAPs. Like itwas just we was just raging and we
was in the studio playing tracks.You know what I'm saying. When I
work with like like hip hop artistis like I usually just have producers and
packs and stuff like that. Sowere listening packs. Tiger put up this
beat. I was like, Yo, this sound like some real classic like
Summertime Atlas Ship. But like justI like the chords in the arrangement of
(03:52):
it, and we just put themic in the room and start recording and
we just we just went crazy backand forth. It is Yeah, but
Wayne Wayne Versus didn't come till lateron, you know what I'm saying.
But it was a movie. Whenhe put it on there, it was
how far or how long do youhave to wait for a Wayne Verse?
Yo? Take? I was like, yo, he turned it around so
crazy. Like I don't even thinkWayne writes no lyrics down, no,
(04:12):
no, I think he just goin and just record. He feeled me
in and he just comes up withwith with crazy bars and just it flows.
His voice is this thing to heto go. But it took like
four days. Four days I gotit back from the time I text him
to get in the back. It'slike four or five days if I can
remember. Wow, it wasn't crazy. Can you text him right now let
him know to call me back.Having a one way convo with Wayne Man
(04:33):
for like eight years. Yeah,it's crazy, but you gotta legend on
it. You got a legend onit. And he did the remix to
Crying Out for me like years ago. Yeah, what I'm saying, and
that that's that's still ring off.So crazy. So it's just like four
a circle moment and let me loveyou. It's such a staple when it
comes to music. Man, Icouldn't even you can't make this shit up.
(04:56):
Can't make it up. I don't. It's just one of them,
man, to this day, fromoff the stage or on the stage,
it doesn't matter. That record resonatesacross the world to people in ways that
let me know how powerful music isand how powerful R and B is and
how powerful love is. Yeah,this is the word loving a record and
it's a classic, and it's likeit just lets you know that how much
(05:18):
people want to be loved, Likehow much people want to love even if
even if they're going through even whateverthey're going through, exactly, it's just
one of them. Love. Lovestill needs to be timeless, and that
kind of record isn't being made orhasn't been made since I think, I
would say so there's been some peoplewho try, like the records called let
(05:39):
Me Love You, but I thinkthat that just it's kind of just.
And I also think it came outat the time where like people are like,
whis RMB two thousand and two,right, we're making that shifts from
the nineties into the two thousand,Like what is the new sound of R
and B radio shifting? It's gettingshort diverse, like you know, I
mean, more platforms opening up,the digital crusade is coming. It's a
lot of different styles of music beingcreated. And I feel like that kind
(06:01):
of like set the standard for whatthe new soul R and B pop was
and man, and then then itbecomes a sound on TikTok and its own
life facts facts. You want todo it? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we got to all we got to, We got I can try you
let me see, let me see, let me hear it, Jesus Christ,
(06:25):
let me try. Hold on,hold on wait. Everyone has to
warm up, even Mario has towarm up. The way you do it
is magical though it's crazy. Yea, hey, listen closing up what I'm
saying. Do you know it's beentwenty one years since your debut album,
(06:45):
Yeah, and you recently just celebratedthat. What does that do for you?
Just to know from where you startednow you're where you're at now.
It's motivation, sure, guy's grace, mercy, and man that it almost
kind of brings me to tears alittle bit because there's so much has happened
in my life since then. Butmore than anything, just I just have
a lot of gratitude for the mercyand the strength and the vision that God
(07:12):
has given me, you know,and also just having a really great fan
base and people who really support mewhen I put out of music, you
know what I'm saying. So andin my beginning that everybody who's been who's
been involved in my journey, whetherthey're still here with me or not.
You know what I mean, thethings that I took for granted, and
the people that I took for granted, and things that I didn't understand and
understand now how valuable people are.You know, as an artist sometimes you
(07:35):
get so tunnel vision and you feellike it's all about you, But it's
the people behind the scenes, youknow, the team, the engineers,
the mixed engineers, the producers,the writers, the fans of course,
but it's so much that goes intolike that, that type of gratitude for
coming off of a twenty year yeahproject. Yeah, Mario. Do you
believe R and B music is isis appreciated and respected the way it should
(07:59):
be to day by people? Yes, I think people definitely have playlists or
R and B like in their playlistsand like at home. I think that
from a commercial standpoint, we're justdealing with what's really popular in the quantity
of people like we you know,you got you got more hip hop artists
coming out than R and B artistsevery day in terms of like what's popular
(08:22):
and what's easily digestible. You knowwhat I'm saying, and easier to grow.
You can put an R and Brecord out today and they might not
pop for a year and a half. You know, you might put something
out ten years and they might comeback a door and just came back,
you know, crazy like for thelast you know what I'm saying, so
right, And so I think Rand B is just a different digestion than
(08:45):
hip hop, you know, AndI think we got to stop comparing it
because there's no comparison. It's twodifferent worlds and we and both you gotta
appreciate both of what they are.But I could tell you that me personally,
I'm I'm excited about this new journeyfor me. You know, I
just did a partnership with Epic,and you know, we we're talking about
what R and B represents and likeputting it back in the forefront and like,
you know, just just you know, me just continuing the legacy of
(09:09):
what I do. In regards towhat R and B is to me,
what is it that you want yourlegacy to be known for. At the
end of the day, I thinkthat versatility. If you listen to my
catalog, it's a very versatile catalog. You know, even my music that
I've released that wasn't really mainstream,my independent projects. Somebody who's going to
(09:31):
deliver on stage and in the studio, you know, and just classic man,
timeless, timeless music, timeless music, timeless experiences. And I want
to be doing this for as longas I can walk in and breathe and
see. You know, when Isee artists on stage still to this day,
like Joe and Usher, and Usher'sdoing in residency. I just saw
(09:54):
him in Vegas and I'm just like, bro, like you can't break take
your hand on the show. Maybeyou could take my girl, you could
give me, give me the mike. Ye don't want to see that.
He's a legend, alegend just goesto show like Yo, it's it's It's
like R and B. It's justit's just about staying consistent and staying at
(10:16):
it. Bro, we stop.We can't stop. Man. How many
songs would you say if you hadto put a number on it, How
many songs do you have that theworld hasn't heard yet? Oh my god,
If I had to put a numberon it, I would say close
to two thousand or more thousand songs. I mean, I've been recording since
I was fourteen years old, sir. Yeah, easy. So there's songs
(10:41):
you have, songs where you hadn'tgone through puberty yet. Facts. Yeah,
I'm still talking about talking about youknow what I'm saying, Yes,
sir, you know even if youlisten to you know, brak my hand,
send me down like you love me, do it anywhere you won't,
baby, take it slowly. AfterI was talking about braids, I was
talking to my showy at the time. It's crazy. Yeah, it's just
(11:03):
effortless. I love it. It'sa gift man, honestly, and I'm
a little jealous and envious a littlebit of everything. Like what you did
earlier, Cruise, you got somethingto work with. You know what I'm
saying, Singers with the ladies isthe intention that count. There's a lot
of guys out there that's that's singingthat ain't vocalists. Very true. Put
him in the studio audit, turnon it like it's my favorite R and
(11:24):
B artist, Like you know whatI'm saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, So you're saying I canbe like a studio artist. You
could, yeah, yeah, definitely. Don't go under your name. Stop
putting some fire and you got therelationships you get some producers get a little
feature go crazy. Yeah, hemight actually think about I'm thinking about it.
I'm like, I'm gonna text Wayne. He won't text back, but
I'll text the man. I'm gonnaget metro booming on the phone one day
(11:48):
and my very good brother. Yeah, yes, sir, yes, sir
man. So life is good,right, life is good. Yeah,
life is good, and in agood space, you write great book.
I'm in a great space. It'sa it's a continuing process writing a book
is it's crazy because it's you're alwaysevolving, right, and it's like it
never really stops. So at thispoint I think I'm gonna have to break
(12:09):
it up in sections, but definitelystill writing, still getting at it.
I got a lot of things thatI'm read that's resurfacing and that I'm experiencing
that I want to put in there, and I'm like when I read things,
I'm like, Okay, let meupdate this part. But at some
point I'm gonna have to stop andbe like, Okay, this is the
story that I want to tell,right, I want to tell it.
Some of it is psychological, someof its spiritual, some of it is
(12:31):
more of like my upbringing. Sothere's a lot of different categories and stuff.
So I got to figure out howto bring it together. But it's
coming together. It's a lot ofwork me. It's therapeutic anything, yeah,
yeah, just getting the thoughts out. You know, there's so much
that we have in this it's likeyou just need to create an outlet sometimes.
Yeah. Are you such an artistthat you're always working, always writing,
(12:52):
always thinking of a hook a melody? Yeah, Bridge, I wouldn't
say always thinking of that, butI'm always thinking of creative ways to express
myself. Right. So I'm alsoworking on like a museum concept right now
that I've been working on Philip pasttwo years. I can't say it because
if I say, somebody still theidea of question. But it's a really
great and museum. Yeah, it'samazing. It's it's really brilliant and I
(13:16):
can't wait to, you know,continue to finish it up. I got
a few people and a few partnersthat want me to put it in their
countries, but I'm thinking about theUS. But it's one of them things
where it's like it may be appreciatedmore somewhere else, but I don't know.
I'm want to see, but it'syeah, like stuff like that.
See that's like yeah, yeah,that's like other shit like that's just different
(13:37):
level. That's yeah, it's adifferent level of artistry. Yeah, it's
it's fun, man, because I'malways thinking of ways to educate people but
also entertain them at the same time, right, and so this museum would
be very educational for a specific typeof realm, but it would also be
very entertaining and fun to experience withyour family, kids, you know.
(13:58):
Whoever, great, It's gotta bea lot of work. Yeah, so
you're extremely busy. You've got alot going on right now. I'm busy,
but I'm getting ready for tour,right so I'm going out with Neio
and Robin. Think. Neil hitme to come on his champaign and Rosa's
tour, and for me, it'sa fourth circle moment, you know what
I'm saying, seeing him as justa writer when I was already an artist,
and then like him take his artistthing to the next level. You
(14:20):
know. So I was like,man, come on, let's do this,
you know, let's let's go guy. Yeah, he's one of these
guys for sure. Neil told usif if if women want to stop hearing
the word bitch and music, theyhave to stop dancing to it. Do
you agree? And part absolutely,But the other part is that you can't
control what other people do, right, So I definitely think that in general
(14:43):
with anything we consume. If it'ssomething that you know, could be foods,
it could be what we watch onTV, it could be you know.
But where do we collectively come togetheranywhere besides just consuming something that is
throwing at us, right, Soit's if we want something to stop,
there has to be a collective agreement, agreement in order for that to stop.
(15:05):
So I do agree with him inpart for sure. Yeah, Kneel's
that guy. Man love him man, Yes, love true writer, true
performer. On to what's the likemust have when you go on tour that
you must have? Yeah, Imust have a speaker in the room.
I must have my candles. Imust have uh there's I must have my
(15:30):
gluten free kettle chips. I don'tknow, that's like one of my favorite
snacks. I must have a mirrorin the room so I can make sure
the drip is right. I musthave uh, my phones, my speaker
is my What else do I takein there. That's pretty much it.
(15:52):
I mean, I don't really flowersflowers, you know what I'm saying,
some life in there, because dressingroom is different, you know. I
mean sometimes you're going there and theenergy is like from other people. Yeah,
I mean so just like Pollo sensowithout right, get the energy right.
And if I could take my dogs, I would take them. But
I can't take my dogs everywhere.They're a lot of work. What kind
(16:12):
of dogs? I got? Twopits? Two pits? Oh yeah,
yeah, you can't take them everywhere. I can't take them. But they're
cool though, Yeah exactly. Ithink you are a very big candle guy.
Yeah you see, yeah, verycandle candle type of guys. Yeah,
like I like that. It's justlike candles just they just create a
(16:33):
five but ambience, you know whatI'm saying. I got these the ones
I used today, like the oldestcandle burning the world. Like so they're
fired, like they're just the decorof them. The design is crazy.
I got a friend of mine somecandles for his birthday once and people were
looking at me crazy for real,Yeah, like what's the problem. I
don't know what the problem was.They were like Yo, that's that's crazy
as you get a dude, Iguess, so yeah, whatever, I
(16:55):
don't know, that's weird works annualcandle stills coming up, So yeah,
that's right. I don't get canlistening there though, No, no,
no, I'm sure Walmart has butWalmart has fire candles too, low key.
I just like I like the storycandles. Oh okay, the story
because some of the candles they like, they burned so heavy for sure.
Yeah, and then it still beyea yeah perfe or like yeah it smells
(17:19):
like soap. Are you protective ofyour stuff? You grew up with eighteen
people in your family in the house, I mean my family was bigger than
that back then, but it wasjust a lot in the house. Yeah,
it was a lot of us inthere ship right there, bro a
Yeah, brother, listen, itwas a lot of us in the house,
like aunt's uncles because in my familyit was an open door policy.
(17:41):
I'm saying, so, well,it's love then, yeah, all of
all of despite the craziness. Yeah, all love. But when when when
you when you grow up in thatway, right, like your stuff becomes
your stuff? That really probably becauseit becomes a thing because very we weren't
taught that. It was like Iwas wearing my older cousins from when they
got to be groom. It waspassed down. Yeah, yeah, like
(18:03):
I was wearing their shoes and theirjeans and there. You know what I'm
saying. We didn't have it likethat. So it's just like it was
very much So what's yours is mindand what's mine is yours? Yeah I'm
saying. Yeah. We was fightingover like who ate the last bit of
Captain carn And you're like, youknow what I'm saying, right right,
right, right, Yeah, Grandmawas hiding food in her closet like no
(18:25):
on guy, Like you know whatI'm saying. It was like it was
like that, yeah, no forreal, man, Yeah, constantly in
the studio, project in the works. Yeah, so I'm working on singles
right now, I'm old man,and then I'll be working on the album
after that, going back into likeprobably after the tour, stepping in the
work there. Yeah, yeah,because I think that that's for me,
it's the next that's the next stepis really working on a body of work
(18:48):
you know that represents where I'm atand just you know, reconnects me and
the storyline reconnects my story again throughthe music. Sure, Yeah, at
what point in your career did yourealize as you needed a bed time?
When I became a bigger boss,for sure, you know what I'm saying,
Like when I when I started onthe independent side of things, and
(19:12):
like just the responsibility was more onme to make sure every dot was connecting.
And yeah, man, just realizinglike time and energy is a real
thing, right, and so howmuch energy I have to give to like
just making sure I'm taking care ofmyself, especially as a singer. Is
like I can't stay out all nightand drink and party and then do a
(19:33):
show the next day. Yeah,people expect me to hit them notes,
people expect me to like I gottayou feel me. I just respect that
part of it, and so whenI can, I go to sleep.
Really Yeah, it's sorry. Sometimesit's it's a little crazy. It get
crazy and you want to sometimes youjust want to hang out and be outside,
but it hits you different the nextday. But I stopped drinking like
four months ago, is that right? Yeah, Like I cut that out
(19:53):
my shit like fully completely, Yeah, for sure, for sure. I
Mean it's just the differences you justdon't drink. You just don't have to
put up with them extra the nexttwo days of hell that you feel at
bro, when you gotta still entertainpeople and your skins start looking crazy and
you start feeling crazy and nah,Bro, like you make different decisions when
(20:14):
you when you drink. Like youknow what I'm saying. I make crazy
decisions when I drink. I ain'tgonna lie like I make crazy decisions when
I drinking. I'd rather just besober anyway. But I take some shrooms,
yeah, I say, like,look with the shrooms, you're like,
are you micro doce micro doc?I mean sometimes I'll take a god
dose if I don't have anything todo, but I'm micro dooced. Like
(20:38):
hear now, I know you're gonnago see a bootlet cav later. He's
got show he got something. Yeah, I don't just I don't just take
any like I have a don't plug. Really yeah he is a plug as
well. He is for Jackie BroYeah, Jackie's plug. But yeah,
yeah he's got some ke. Imean I think he talks about it.
I don't know he actually does.Yeah, it's not no, I get
(21:02):
it. I mean I think listenI'm happy to hope people are open to
that because I think it's really healing, you know what I'm saying, Like
if you sit with shrooms like byyourself on the right time, like it
really opens you up and helps it. Like you know what I'm saying.
Not that you can't do it without, but it helps. Yeah. But
as a singer, right, Likeyou can't smoke weed, right, you
have to make you can't, butyou have to protect your instrument, right.
(21:22):
I don't even really like the weedthese days. Wow, it's a
lot, especially out here. I'mjust sensitive, Like my energy is sensitive
to everything. I'm already high.I can feel everything. So when I
smoke, I'm like, Okay,it's just it's a little, uh foggy.
I get foggy. Yeah. Ilike things that keep me, like
I gotta keep my frequency. Knowwhat rain fog is the worst? Yeh
(21:45):
Yeah, talking about making weird decisionsor bad decisions, brain fog will help
the situation for sure. What Jackie, you mentioned that, Like you know
you make bad decisions when you drink. Are you like a drunk texter?
Or like do you leave drunk voicemailthI'm just my person that the changes.
I'm just mean. I'm not mean. I'm not I'm gonna say I'm not
mean, but I'm I'm super directand I'm super like whenever I want,
(22:10):
I have to get whatever, notnot when to come to women or not
like that. But just like,I'm just different. I'm just different.
So it's such a dress. I'mjust I'm just I'm just real. The
guy that was on Versus, that'shim. That's him, Yeah, him,
saw him. That's the guy alittle bit worse than him. Like
I say, like, yo,yo, savage, low key. I
(22:33):

just like you know, outside ofwhat people know about you work wise,
Like no one knows what you dowhen you go home. I don't know
(25:03):
what you're going through. They don'tknow what's really going on in your life.
Like you know what I'm saying.So you know people who are around
you that you trust, they shoulddefinitely be there and not when things it's
just not when you're just winning,not when you can just have the girls
around, but like when you mightfeeling like you might be depressed when it
gets dark. When it gets dark, you need friends like that, yeah,
bro, because it gets lonely inthis shit. Like you know what
I'm saying, It really does,right, People think, nah, there's
(25:26):
no way, right, it's aparty when you win in like, it's
it's a lot. It's a lot. It gets because it's like the pressures
there. Yeah, and when you'rewinning, right and you got and you're
on top, you almost have topush everybody away to see the bigger picture.
And see the bigger picture. It'slike, okay, this is where
we're at all right, cool,how are we gonna keep it? And

One out right now. Yeah,man, Yo, We've watched you grow
in this industry, in this businessfor many years now, you feel me.
I think I met you very earlyon. I was in Vegas doing
radio there and you pulled up andyou've been that guy. You've been the
guy since then. What I mean, You've never flipped, You've never switched
(02:01):
up on anybody. Yeah. No, I've been watching myself grow. You
know what I'm saying. I hatepeople say that, but like I try
to look at my life and thethings that I've done, like from just
like a bird's eye point of view, you know what I mean? To
see the blessings, you know whatI mean. I think God bless me
with that. And you know,just growing up in Baltimore, like it's
it's been. It's been amazing tolike have this opportunity to like go through
(02:23):
everything and and bounce back and loseit and come back and just like I
just have so much gratitude for theprocess, you know, I'm the process
of being a winner, the processof being grinding and the real hustling and
just you know what I mean,but also having the talent to go with
it. Like it's just it's ablessing. Yea. The Baltimore accent ever
ever hearing it? Yeah, Ididn't lived in Atlanta, I didn't lived
(02:45):
in New York everywhere here Florida,So I don't even know what it is
right now. What's the Baltimore accent? What is it? What is it?
It's just more like too and likedo and like it's just I think
the words is just a little morelike slurred a little bit. Yes,
yes, yes, I heard someonefrom Baltimore say the word curfew and it
was different curfew. Yeah, itwas like curfood. It was like,
(03:07):
yeah, it's like it's a lotof using there slam, Yes, sir,
main One. We're at it withMain One. Yeah, crazy with
a little way and Tiger Dog Likehow this concept come about? It's a
movie? Shit. Me and Tigerwas just out one night, just in
the city doing what we do,and we went back to the studio like
two am. She was me,Tiger, my boy Andy Dre London,
(03:30):
a couple of WAPs. Like itwas just we was just raging and we
was in the studio playing tracks.You know what I'm saying. When I
work with like like hip hop artistis like I usually just have producers and
packs and stuff like that. Sowere listening packs. Tiger put up this
beat. I was like, Yo, this sound like some real classic like
Summertime Atlas Ship. But like justI like the chords in the arrangement of
(03:52):
it, and we just put themic in the room and start recording and
we just we just went crazy backand forth. It is Yeah, but
Wayne Wayne Versus didn't come till lateron, you know what I'm saying.
But it was a movie. Whenhe put it on there, it was
how far or how long do youhave to wait for a Wayne Verse?
Yo? Take? I was like, yo, he turned it around so
crazy. Like I don't even thinkWayne writes no lyrics down, no,
(04:12):
no, I think he just goin and just record. He feeled me
in and he just comes up withwith with crazy bars and just it flows.
His voice is this thing to heto go. But it took like
four days. Four days I gotit back from the time I text him
to get in the back. It'slike four or five days if I can
remember. Wow, it wasn't crazy. Can you text him right now let
him know to call me back.Having a one way convo with Wayne Man
(04:33):
for like eight years. Yeah,it's crazy, but you gotta legend on
it. You got a legend onit. And he did the remix to
Crying Out for me like years ago. Yeah, what I'm saying, and
that that's that's still ring off.So crazy. So it's just like four
a circle moment and let me loveyou. It's such a staple when it
comes to music. Man, Icouldn't even you can't make this shit up.
(04:56):
Can't make it up. I don't. It's just one of them,
man, to this day, fromoff the stage or on the stage,
it doesn't matter. That record resonatesacross the world to people in ways that
let me know how powerful music isand how powerful R and B is and
how powerful love is. Yeah,this is the word loving a record and
it's a classic, and it's likeit just lets you know that how much
(05:18):
people want to be loved, Likehow much people want to love even if
even if they're going through even whateverthey're going through, exactly, it's just
one of them. Love. Lovestill needs to be timeless, and that
kind of record isn't being made orhasn't been made since I think, I
would say so there's been some peoplewho try, like the records called let
(05:39):
Me Love You, but I thinkthat that just it's kind of just.
And I also think it came outat the time where like people are like,
whis RMB two thousand and two,right, we're making that shifts from
the nineties into the two thousand,Like what is the new sound of R
and B radio shifting? It's gettingshort diverse, like you know, I
mean, more platforms opening up,the digital crusade is coming. It's a
lot of different styles of music beingcreated. And I feel like that kind
(06:01):
of like set the standard for whatthe new soul R and B pop was
and man, and then then itbecomes a sound on TikTok and its own
life facts facts. You want todo it? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we got to all we got to, We got I can try you
let me see, let me see, let me hear it, Jesus Christ,
(06:25):
let me try. Hold on,hold on wait. Everyone has to
warm up, even Mario has towarm up. The way you do it
is magical though it's crazy. Yea, hey, listen closing up what I'm
saying. Do you know it's beentwenty one years since your debut album,
(06:45):
Yeah, and you recently just celebratedthat. What does that do for you?
Just to know from where you startednow you're where you're at now.
It's motivation, sure, guy's grace, mercy, and man that it almost
kind of brings me to tears alittle bit because there's so much has happened
in my life since then. Butmore than anything, just I just have
a lot of gratitude for the mercyand the strength and the vision that God
(07:12):
has given me, you know,and also just having a really great fan
base and people who really support mewhen I put out of music, you
know what I'm saying. So andin my beginning that everybody who's been who's
been involved in my journey, whetherthey're still here with me or not.
You know what I mean, thethings that I took for granted, and
the people that I took for granted, and things that I didn't understand and
understand now how valuable people are.You know, as an artist sometimes you
(07:35):
get so tunnel vision and you feellike it's all about you, But it's
the people behind the scenes, youknow, the team, the engineers,
the mixed engineers, the producers,the writers, the fans of course,
but it's so much that goes intolike that, that type of gratitude for
coming off of a twenty year yeahproject. Yeah, Mario. Do you
believe R and B music is isis appreciated and respected the way it should
(07:59):
be to day by people? Yes, I think people definitely have playlists or
R and B like in their playlistsand like at home. I think that
from a commercial standpoint, we're justdealing with what's really popular in the quantity
of people like we you know,you got you got more hip hop artists
coming out than R and B artistsevery day in terms of like what's popular
(08:22):
and what's easily digestible. You knowwhat I'm saying, and easier to grow.
You can put an R and Brecord out today and they might not
pop for a year and a half. You know, you might put something
out ten years and they might comeback a door and just came back,
you know, crazy like for thelast you know what I'm saying, so
right, And so I think Rand B is just a different digestion than
(08:45):
hip hop, you know, AndI think we got to stop comparing it
because there's no comparison. It's twodifferent worlds and we and both you gotta
appreciate both of what they are.But I could tell you that me personally,
I'm I'm excited about this new journeyfor me. You know, I
just did a partnership with Epic,and you know, we we're talking about
what R and B represents and likeputting it back in the forefront and like,
you know, just just you know, me just continuing the legacy of
(09:09):
what I do. In regards towhat R and B is to me,
what is it that you want yourlegacy to be known for. At the
end of the day, I thinkthat versatility. If you listen to my
catalog, it's a very versatile catalog. You know, even my music that
I've released that wasn't really mainstream,my independent projects. Somebody who's going to
(09:31):
deliver on stage and in the studio, you know, and just classic man,
timeless, timeless music, timeless music, timeless experiences. And I want
to be doing this for as longas I can walk in and breathe and
see. You know, when Isee artists on stage still to this day,
like Joe and Usher, and Usher'sdoing in residency. I just saw
(09:54):
him in Vegas and I'm just like, bro, like you can't break take
your hand on the show. Maybeyou could take my girl, you could
give me, give me the mike. Ye don't want to see that.
He's a legend, alegend just goesto show like Yo, it's it's It's
like R and B. It's justit's just about staying consistent and staying at
(10:16):
it. Bro, we stop.We can't stop. Man. How many
songs would you say if you hadto put a number on it, How
many songs do you have that theworld hasn't heard yet? Oh my god,
If I had to put a numberon it, I would say close
to two thousand or more thousand songs. I mean, I've been recording since
I was fourteen years old, sir. Yeah, easy. So there's songs
(10:41):
you have, songs where you hadn'tgone through puberty yet. Facts. Yeah,
I'm still talking about talking about youknow what I'm saying, Yes,
sir, you know even if youlisten to you know, brak my hand,
send me down like you love me, do it anywhere you won't,
baby, take it slowly. AfterI was talking about braids, I was
talking to my showy at the time. It's crazy. Yeah, it's just
(11:03):
effortless. I love it. It'sa gift man, honestly, and I'm
a little jealous and envious a littlebit of everything. Like what you did
earlier, Cruise, you got somethingto work with. You know what I'm
saying, Singers with the ladies isthe intention that count. There's a lot
of guys out there that's that's singingthat ain't vocalists. Very true. Put
him in the studio audit, turnon it like it's my favorite R and
(11:24):
B artist, Like you know whatI'm saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, So you're saying I canbe like a studio artist. You
could, yeah, yeah, definitely. Don't go under your name. Stop
putting some fire and you got therelationships you get some producers get a little
feature go crazy. Yeah, hemight actually think about I'm thinking about it.
I'm like, I'm gonna text Wayne. He won't text back, but
I'll text the man. I'm gonnaget metro booming on the phone one day
(11:48):
and my very good brother. Yeah, yes, sir, yes, sir
man. So life is good,right, life is good. Yeah,
life is good, and in agood space, you write great book.
I'm in a great space. It'sa it's a continuing process writing a book
is it's crazy because it's you're alwaysevolving, right, and it's like it
never really stops. So at thispoint I think I'm gonna have to break
(12:09):
it up in sections, but definitelystill writing, still getting at it.
I got a lot of things thatI'm read that's resurfacing and that I'm experiencing
that I want to put in there, and I'm like when I read things,
I'm like, Okay, let meupdate this part. But at some
point I'm gonna have to stop andbe like, Okay, this is the
story that I want to tell,right, I want to tell it.
Some of it is psychological, someof its spiritual, some of it is
(12:31):
more of like my upbringing. Sothere's a lot of different categories and stuff.
So I got to figure out howto bring it together. But it's
coming together. It's a lot ofwork me. It's therapeutic anything, yeah,
yeah, just getting the thoughts out. You know, there's so much
that we have in this it's likeyou just need to create an outlet sometimes.
Yeah. Are you such an artistthat you're always working, always writing,
(12:52):
always thinking of a hook a melody? Yeah, Bridge, I wouldn't
say always thinking of that, butI'm always thinking of creative ways to express
myself. Right. So I'm alsoworking on like a museum concept right now
that I've been working on Philip pasttwo years. I can't say it because
if I say, somebody still theidea of question. But it's a really
great and museum. Yeah, it'samazing. It's it's really brilliant and I
(13:16):
can't wait to, you know,continue to finish it up. I got
a few people and a few partnersthat want me to put it in their
countries, but I'm thinking about theUS. But it's one of them things
where it's like it may be appreciatedmore somewhere else, but I don't know.
I'm want to see, but it'syeah, like stuff like that.
See that's like yeah, yeah,that's like other shit like that's just different
(13:37):
level. That's yeah, it's adifferent level of artistry. Yeah, it's
it's fun, man, because I'malways thinking of ways to educate people but
also entertain them at the same time, right, and so this museum would
be very educational for a specific typeof realm, but it would also be
very entertaining and fun to experience withyour family, kids, you know.
(13:58):
Whoever, great, It's gotta bea lot of work. Yeah, so
you're extremely busy. You've got alot going on right now. I'm busy,
but I'm getting ready for tour,right so I'm going out with Neio
and Robin. Think. Neil hitme to come on his champaign and Rosa's
tour, and for me, it'sa fourth circle moment, you know what
I'm saying, seeing him as justa writer when I was already an artist,
and then like him take his artistthing to the next level. You
(14:20):
know. So I was like,man, come on, let's do this,
you know, let's let's go guy. Yeah, he's one of these
guys for sure. Neil told usif if if women want to stop hearing
the word bitch and music, theyhave to stop dancing to it. Do
you agree? And part absolutely,But the other part is that you can't
control what other people do, right, So I definitely think that in general
(14:43):
with anything we consume. If it'ssomething that you know, could be foods,
it could be what we watch onTV, it could be you know.
But where do we collectively come togetheranywhere besides just consuming something that is
throwing at us, right, Soit's if we want something to stop,
there has to be a collective agreement, agreement in order for that to stop.
(15:05):
So I do agree with him inpart for sure. Yeah, Kneel's
that guy. Man love him man, Yes, love true writer, true
performer. On to what's the likemust have when you go on tour that
you must have? Yeah, Imust have a speaker in the room.
I must have my candles. Imust have uh there's I must have my
(15:30):
gluten free kettle chips. I don'tknow, that's like one of my favorite
snacks. I must have a mirrorin the room so I can make sure
the drip is right. I musthave uh, my phones, my speaker
is my What else do I takein there. That's pretty much it.
(15:52):
I mean, I don't really flowersflowers, you know what I'm saying,
some life in there, because dressingroom is different, you know. I
mean sometimes you're going there and theenergy is like from other people. Yeah,
I mean so just like Pollo sensowithout right, get the energy right.
And if I could take my dogs, I would take them. But
I can't take my dogs everywhere.They're a lot of work. What kind
(16:12):
of dogs? I got? Twopits? Two pits? Oh yeah,
yeah, you can't take them everywhere. I can't take them. But they're
cool though, Yeah exactly. Ithink you are a very big candle guy.
Yeah you see, yeah, verycandle candle type of guys. Yeah,
like I like that. It's justlike candles just they just create a
(16:33):
five but ambience, you know whatI'm saying. I got these the ones
I used today, like the oldestcandle burning the world. Like so they're
fired, like they're just the decorof them. The design is crazy.
I got a friend of mine somecandles for his birthday once and people were
looking at me crazy for real,Yeah, like what's the problem. I
don't know what the problem was.They were like Yo, that's that's crazy
as you get a dude, Iguess, so yeah, whatever, I
(16:55):
don't know, that's weird works annualcandle stills coming up, So yeah,
that's right. I don't get canlistening there though, No, no,
no, I'm sure Walmart has butWalmart has fire candles too, low key.
I just like I like the storycandles. Oh okay, the story
because some of the candles they like, they burned so heavy for sure.
Yeah, and then it still beyea yeah perfe or like yeah it smells
(17:19):
like soap. Are you protective ofyour stuff? You grew up with eighteen
people in your family in the house, I mean my family was bigger than
that back then, but it wasjust a lot in the house. Yeah,
it was a lot of us inthere ship right there, bro a
Yeah, brother, listen, itwas a lot of us in the house,
like aunt's uncles because in my familyit was an open door policy.
(17:41):
I'm saying, so, well,it's love then, yeah, all of
all of despite the craziness. Yeah, all love. But when when when
you when you grow up in thatway, right, like your stuff becomes
your stuff? That really probably becauseit becomes a thing because very we weren't
taught that. It was like Iwas wearing my older cousins from when they
got to be groom. It waspassed down. Yeah, yeah, like
(18:03):
I was wearing their shoes and theirjeans and there. You know what I'm
saying. We didn't have it likethat. So it's just like it was
very much So what's yours is mindand what's mine is yours? Yeah I'm
saying. Yeah. We was fightingover like who ate the last bit of
Captain carn And you're like, youknow what I'm saying, right right,
right, right, Yeah, Grandmawas hiding food in her closet like no
(18:25):
on guy, Like you know whatI'm saying. It was like it was
like that, yeah, no forreal, man, Yeah, constantly in
the studio, project in the works. Yeah, so I'm working on singles
right now, I'm old man,and then I'll be working on the album
after that, going back into likeprobably after the tour, stepping in the
work there. Yeah, yeah,because I think that that's for me,
it's the next that's the next stepis really working on a body of work
(18:48):
you know that represents where I'm atand just you know, reconnects me and
the storyline reconnects my story again throughthe music. Sure, Yeah, at
what point in your career did yourealize as you needed a bed time?
When I became a bigger boss,for sure, you know what I'm saying,
Like when I when I started onthe independent side of things, and
(19:12):
like just the responsibility was more onme to make sure every dot was connecting.
And yeah, man, just realizinglike time and energy is a real
thing, right, and so howmuch energy I have to give to like
just making sure I'm taking care ofmyself, especially as a singer. Is
like I can't stay out all nightand drink and party and then do a
(19:33):
show the next day. Yeah,people expect me to hit them notes,
people expect me to like I gottayou feel me. I just respect that
part of it, and so whenI can, I go to sleep.
Really Yeah, it's sorry. Sometimesit's it's a little crazy. It get
crazy and you want to sometimes youjust want to hang out and be outside,
but it hits you different the nextday. But I stopped drinking like
four months ago, is that right? Yeah, Like I cut that out
(19:53):
my shit like fully completely, Yeah, for sure, for sure. I
Mean it's just the differences you justdon't drink. You just don't have to
put up with them extra the nexttwo days of hell that you feel at
bro, when you gotta still entertainpeople and your skins start looking crazy and
you start feeling crazy and nah,Bro, like you make different decisions when
(20:14):
you when you drink. Like youknow what I'm saying. I make crazy
decisions when I drink. I ain'tgonna lie like I make crazy decisions when
I drinking. I'd rather just besober anyway. But I take some shrooms,
yeah, I say, like,look with the shrooms, you're like,
are you micro doce micro doc?I mean sometimes I'll take a god
dose if I don't have anything todo, but I'm micro dooced. Like
(20:38):
hear now, I know you're gonnago see a bootlet cav later. He's

that because I think it's really healing, you know what I'm saying, Like
if you sit with shrooms like byyourself on the right time, like it
really opens you up and helps it. Like you know what I'm saying.
Not that you can't do it without, but it helps. Yeah. But
as a singer, right, Likeyou can't smoke weed, right, you
have to make you can't, butyou have to protect your instrument, right.
(21:22):
I don't even really like the weedthese days. Wow, it's a
lot, especially out here. I'mjust sensitive, Like my energy is sensitive
to everything. I'm already high.I can feel everything. So when I
smoke, I'm like, Okay,it's just it's a little, uh foggy.
I get foggy. Yeah. Ilike things that keep me, like
I gotta keep my frequency. Knowwhat rain fog is the worst? Yeh
(21:45):
Yeah, talking about making weird decisionsor bad decisions, brain fog will help
the situation for sure. What Jackie, you mentioned that, Like you know
you make bad decisions when you drink. Are you like a drunk texter?
Or like do you leave drunk voicemailthI'm just my person that the changes.
I'm just mean. I'm not mean. I'm not I'm gonna say I'm not
mean, but I'm I'm super directand I'm super like whenever I want,

So it's such a dress. I'mjust I'm just I'm just real. The
guy that was on Versus, that'shim. That's him, Yeah, him,

I couldn't. I couldn't have doneVersus without everybody on the show. Yeah,
man, couldn't. You know?We all collectively made the biggest verses
of history. Isn't that crazy?Bro? It was crazy? It was
(22:55):
nuts, bro, Yo, youboys are wild. What happens after that,
though, because the energy is stillthere, we're still lit. The
cameras are off. Now we gotto take this party somewhere else, you
mean, But I think everybody justkind of went day seven ways. I
know, me and my crew,we was outside to like four five.
We went to a nice guy andwe went to the Lilah, we went
to Okay, we were outside,We went to a couple of spots,
(23:15):
and then we ended up at theCreate. It was just we was just
vibbing. Yeah, man, Yeah, is there another artist that you can
go to as far as to recharge, or to to get some advice,
advice, or to even just volleyideas back and forth. I mean artists
that I work with, you knowwhat I'm saying. Someone new like Todd

I really stayed to myself. Man, I'm a looner. I ain't gonna
hold you. I'm like a realloner and I've been like that. Are
you an introvert in some ways?Yeah, but not as much as I
used to be. I used tobe a super introvert. Now, I
just you know, I take advantageof the gift that God gave me,
and God wants me to be avoice for people. And like when I'm
(24:19):
around people that's my peers, likejust being there as a friend, and
like I'm always the person that's like, all right, yo, you're doing
it just too much. You shoulddo this if you want to feel like,
you know, just trying to makeeverybody live a healthy life. Like
I'll be trying to like because I'llbe seeing I'm seeing like ten years ahead.
I'm like, all right, bro, it's gonna turn into a habit,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So I'm always the one that's
(24:41):
trying to like keep everybody kind oflike the up and up. Yeah bro,
yeah that's me that I'm not friend. You're that friend, yeah nah,
but everybody needs somebody like that.Yeah yeah yeah, you know,
b yeah not for sure for sure. And just like honestly speaking, is
just like you know, outside ofwhat people know about you work wise,
Like no one knows what you dowhen you go home. I don't know
(25:03):
what you're going through. They don'tknow what's really going on in your life.
Like you know what I'm saying.So you know people who are around
you that you trust, they shoulddefinitely be there and not when things it's
just not when you're just winning,not when you can just have the girls
around, but like when you mightfeeling like you might be depressed when it
gets dark. When it gets dark, you need friends like that, yeah,
bro, because it gets lonely inthis shit. Like you know what
I'm saying, It really does,right, People think, nah, there's
(25:26):
no way, right, it's aparty when you win in like, it's
it's a lot. It's a lot. It gets because it's like the pressures
there. Yeah, and when you'rewinning, right and you got and you're
on top, you almost have topush everybody away to see the bigger picture.
And see the bigger picture. It'slike, okay, this is where
we're at all right, cool,how are we gonna keep it? And
then how do we elevate where weare right now? You know what I'm
(25:47):
