I had a lot of sessions with him, but that
one was like I just made that at my house. No, no, no,
I didn't make that at my house. I was we
was in New York. I cooked it over with my
friends and I called him. I was like, bro, I
need you or something. And then he just came through
like he knocked it out, probably like the same week
for sure, just like that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
So there's other songs with Chris Brown we haven't heard.
Speaker 1 (05:34):

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Song with saving Saving My Love? How did that come about?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I made that in LA with my guy Daniel Church
and Brew Music and then like it was just like
it was like one of the moments, like, bro, we
need a girl on an album, Like you know what
I'm saying, Like somebody just put a different sound to it,
and like the beat if you hear that beat, it's
like like an.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Up tempo, feel good vibe.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And then Klanie was like, I feel like she was
one of the only people that could one of the
only girls that could swag on a beat like that.
You know what I'm saying. So shout out Daniel Church.
He hit her up, put us on FaceTime and she
been a fan, so she knocked it out from shout out.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's right, y'all.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Really dig the footage of you recording God did yeah
in that I think it was your bedroom.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, and then fast forward boom for crazy. That was crazy.
How do you describe that?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
How does that feel in your heart?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I can't really like that was like a crazy time
in my life. Like for sure, that's like no like forever,
But I can't really explain it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Though when I watch it, I'm like, all right, so,
like you know, maybe I'm looking too into it, but
there's I'm sure there was so much going on in
your life during that moment.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, that was probably the worst part of my life.
Like I ain't have a dollar, like I probably have
a dollar, Like I was just in that room, like
that room you've seen. I was probably just making music.
In there every day like doing nothing. Yeah, I am
a job nothing. But I was like it was like
I knew one of these gonna hit. You know what
I'm saying, So.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
You almost got it? Well you do gotta sing like
the rents do. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I had a different hunger then too, like crazier hundred.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Right, Your why back then was different? Is your why now?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Right? It's the same why. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It was like I gotta do this for myself and
my family, Like you know what I'm saying, I make
it better, something better for my family, for my mom my, pop,
you know what I'm saying. So that was like, got
to create something better for everybody. You know what I'm saying.
It's the same why today. But it was just different
because I was like it was like one of the
moments like I was twenty twenty four, twenty five, like
(07:50):
now it was the time, like what I'm about to
do with my life, I gotta go all in on
this music, say forget every job, all in. You know
what I'm saying, forget what I look like, I don't
got buy new sneaks. I'll go all in. So when
that song came out, I was still in that crib.
You know what I'm saying, probably number one song in
the world, and I was still in Philly like the trench,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so I had to transition.
(08:13):
I was doing the transition while the song was number one,
you know what I'm saying, for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And when people listen to it, they got to understand
that there was a hunger in your belly.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Bro, Literally, yeah, for sure, and then you can you
can feel that, like you really feel that in those vocals?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, thank you, Bro.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Were you able to feel when you were recording that song,
like did you feel that this is the one or
was there something special?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I feel like it's one of the best songs I
ever created my life, just to hunt like the like
the time end of my life. It was crazy, Like
when I think about it, probably chills like.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It's just like still today, like.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Making music at that time, it was like it was
it was like really like survival, Like that's how I
looked at it, Like if I don't do this, it's
like niggas really can't live for you know what I'm saying.
So when I made that song, I was like, this
is the best ship I ever made, you know, what
I'm saying. I called my team like y'all, y'all gotta
listen to this, and then uh, I played it for
(09:11):
my my manager and Eddie and then they texted the
call it. You know what I'm saying, I got college number.
I'm like Texas right now. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
No, And I was just like, I'll go in the
studio just like freestyle and I'll like know what I
want to say, then I'll just I'll write it down
like it comes from my head.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You know what I'm saying? For sure?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
So is there a hell of voice notes on your phone?

what I'm about to do when I get the crib
I got. I got a lot of voice notes. Just
created songs. Then get to the studio just really create it.
But yeah, I was I was making like that year,
like that room you saw me, and I was making
like eight hooks. I'll wake up, pray, then like do
(16:37):
like six eight hooks and then like go to the gym,
come back six day hooks, and go to sleep. That
was like my routine for like a year.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (16:45):

Speaker 4 (16:46):
So hooks, like hooks obviously matter to you.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, that's what we get to.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
First get to the hook and then it depends song
around it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
At that time, I was trying to put my feet
in the game. So it's like it was like, you
know what I'm saying, I'm not really focused on full songs.
I'm focused on like who need hooks as a songwriter
in like say, like it's a new artist coming in LA,
you should have mastered the hooks because it's a thousand
rappers in La. That need hooks, you know what I'm saying.
(17:15):
If you think about rappers back in the day, like Tupac,
they will always get like singer, you know what I'm saying,
to sing the hooks. I feel like that's leaving today though,
Like you know what I'm saying. They don't do it
much shit they but yeah, I feel like niggas like me,
Ty Dollargy Pain and Tory Lane and Chris Brown, it's
like people be needing them type of hooks, you know
what I'm saying.

It was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (01:43):

don't want to go there.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But there's good parts in it, you know what I'm saying.

Center City and all that.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's beautiful places.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
But I feel like like even the tough parts you
still like you know, and I'm kidding of course, but
like the tough parts you still have to experience obviously
with caution, be careful and don't disrespect and make sure
you show up and you know you got a good
vibe to you.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah for sure. Don't go in there tripping, right, Yeah,
stay out the way. That's the main thing, a phili
to stay out the way.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Stay out the way. Cheese steaks still a thing, for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah for sure, you had one before.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I mean out here, right, but it's not what it
is here.

love the title like that. I think is brutal honesty, Right,
what does it mean for you?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Just like the good and the bad? You know what
I'm saying, Like the past two years probably the best
years of my life and like the worst at the
same time. So it was like that's where that came from.
Like I might wake up and feel good and the
next day I'm I'm messed up, you know what I'm saying.

pick whatever you want to hear for today. I gave
y'all both sides, got some R and B records on there,

double no for sure.

do you get out of that?

For yourself?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Me, I'll probably just get around my family, or I'll
probably just record. You know what I'm saying. It's like mentally,
I'll get out of it. Though, like what I'm not
having like a good day, it's all mental to me,
Like I'll probably just focus more on like like niggas
really still alive. You know what I'm saying, it's mentally
mental switch and just focus on like what I can
control and not control.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
There you go, Yeah, and what you can't control, you

Speaker 4 (05:12):
You know, y'all sending music back and forth, we get
that done.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I had a lot of sessions with him, but that
one was like I just made that at my house. No, no, no,
I didn't make that at my house. I was we
was in New York. I cooked it over with my
friends and I called him. I was like, bro, I
need you or something. And then he just came through
like he knocked it out, probably like the same week
for sure, just like that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
So there's other songs with Chris Brown we haven't heard.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, we like we've been locked in, bro, So we
got like four songs. He was my first album. I'm
on his new album. They just want to grab me
this song? And then I wrote for him before, like
before I was an artist, like before I came in.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I wrote for Breezy too.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
No ship, Yeah, okay, what about We've been locked in?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Song with saving Saving My Love? How did that come about?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I made that in LA with my guy Daniel Church
and Brew Music and then like it was just like
it was like one of the moments, like, bro, we
need a girl on an album, Like you know what
I'm saying, Like somebody just put a different sound to it,
and like the beat if you hear that beat, it's
like like an.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Up tempo, feel good vibe.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And then Klanie was like, I feel like she was
one of the only people that could one of the
only girls that could swag on a beat like that.
You know what I'm saying. So shout out Daniel Church.
He hit her up, put us on FaceTime and she
been a fan, so she knocked it out from shout out.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's right, y'all.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Really dig the footage of you recording God did yeah
in that I think it was your bedroom.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, and then fast forward boom for crazy. That was crazy.
How do you describe that?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
How does that feel in your heart?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I can't really like that was like a crazy time
in my life. Like for sure, that's like no like forever,
But I can't really explain it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Though when I watch it, I'm like, all right, so,
like you know, maybe I'm looking too into it, but
there's I'm sure there was so much going on in
your life during that moment.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, that was probably the worst part of my life.
Like I ain't have a dollar, like I probably have
a dollar, Like I was just in that room, like
that room you've seen. I was probably just making music.
In there every day like doing nothing. Yeah, I am
a job nothing. But I was like it was like
I knew one of these gonna hit. You know what
I'm saying, So.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
You almost got it? Well you do gotta sing like
the rents do. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I had a different hunger then too, like crazier hundred.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Right, Your why back then was different? Is your why now?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Right? It's the same why. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It was like I gotta do this for myself and
my family, Like you know what I'm saying, I make
it better, something better for my family, for my mom my, pop,
you know what I'm saying. So that was like, got
to create something better for everybody. You know what I'm saying.
It's the same why today. But it was just different
because I was like it was like one of the
moments like I was twenty twenty four, twenty five, like
(07:50):
now it was the time, like what I'm about to
do with my life, I gotta go all in on
this music, say forget every job, all in. You know
what I'm saying, forget what I look like, I don't
got buy new sneaks. I'll go all in. So when
that song came out, I was still in that crib.
You know what I'm saying, probably number one song in
the world, and I was still in Philly like the trench,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so I had to transition.
(08:13):
I was doing the transition while the song was number one,
you know what I'm saying, for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And when people listen to it, they got to understand
that there was a hunger in your belly.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Bro, Literally, yeah, for sure, and then you can you
can feel that, like you really feel that in those vocals?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, thank you, Bro.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Were you able to feel when you were recording that song,
like did you feel that this is the one or
was there something special?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I feel like it's one of the best songs I
ever created my life, just to hunt like the like
the time end of my life. It was crazy, Like
when I think about it, probably chills like.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It's just like still today, like.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Making music at that time, it was like it was
it was like really like survival, Like that's how I
looked at it, Like if I don't do this, it's
like niggas really can't live for you know what I'm saying.
So when I made that song, I was like, this
is the best ship I ever made, you know, what
I'm saying. I called my team like y'all, y'all gotta
listen to this, and then uh, I played it for
(09:11):
my my manager and Eddie and then they texted the
call it. You know what I'm saying, I got college number.
I'm like Texas right now. You know what I'm saying.
Cayla hit us next day like so on the album
I need it. And then the next day like no,
I'm adding three rampers, three legendary rampers. I'm out of
(09:32):

shout out like that. I'm like a one hundred percenter
Like I produced my music, write my music. Sometimes I
bring people in help me write, but like I never
really like take music. But like me and him, we
(13:16):
was chilling for like a month, I think like three
weeks straight, was in the studio, so he like kind
of understood like my singing and like what I wanted
to say, and then he made that song.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I was like, y'all, I need that and I made it.
Mind for sure? For sure? Was it tough to accept
the song that you didn't write.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Nah, not that song, because like I said, we was
chilling together and it's like he knew what I wanted
to say, he knew my pockets.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So it was like, yeah, this this is my vibe
for sure? Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Up Jack, No, I think that it's so dope that
you know, you said that you come from singing at
church and then now you're going on a world tours.
There like nerves with that as well.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
No, not anymore, only like the first show, Like first,
like when I'm backstage, then I'm gonna start feeling it
when the crowding up, Yes, I'll be getting a little nervous,
But as soon as I get on stage, I'm cool.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, I just gotta see one face there you go.
You's got to get started.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah right, get that, get that first, like just that
shake that first ship off and then get to it.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Like my fans different, it's like family. It's like I'm
so vulnerable in the music. It's like when they see me,
they really so happy to see me. So it's like
as soon as I go out there, it's like I
feel like I'm with my family.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
For I think they.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Want to see you cry.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I mean listen music, music, can do that to you, Brott.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You get up there, you start thinking back. Now, I
get that a few times, yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, do you let that out or do you just
kind of shake it off and keep it moving?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
One time I probably did it out.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They usually you know, I'm going like I'm fighting it,
like going like you feel me still singing and stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
For sure? What last I read that you have?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You did a thing for a full year where you read?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Was it eight books?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Was it Showers read more?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Jim Showered? It was like I made eight hooks eight hooks?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Like, so.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You read eight books? I read two books of my
whole life and reading on the show.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I like reading. I just think I gotta find the
right book. Yeah, all right, listen, I listen.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You write a lot, right or is it all in
your head?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Freestyle? Wow?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
What the talent man? Nothing's ever written?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
No, And I was just like, I'll go in the
studio just like freestyle and I'll like know what I
want to say, then I'll just I'll write it down
like it comes from my head.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You know what I'm saying? For sure?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
So is there a hell of voice notes on your phone?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh? For sure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
How many voice notes do you think you have on
your phone right now with hooks voice notes?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I got all these voice notes when I was like,
I got the guy their voice note, driving snaps, just
what I'm about to do when I get the crib
I got. I got a lot of voice notes. Just
created songs. Then get to the studio just really create it.
But yeah, I was I was making like that year,
like that room you saw me, and I was making
like eight hooks. I'll wake up, pray, then like do
(16:37):
like six eight hooks and then like go to the gym,
come back six day hooks, and go to sleep. That
was like my routine for like a year.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
So hooks, like hooks obviously matter to you.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, that's what we get to.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
First get to the hook and then it depends song
around it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
At that time, I was trying to put my feet
in the game. So it's like it was like, you
know what I'm saying, I'm not really focused on full songs.
I'm focused on like who need hooks as a songwriter
in like say, like it's a new artist coming in LA,
you should have mastered the hooks because it's a thousand
rappers in La. That need hooks, you know what I'm saying.
(17:15):
If you think about rappers back in the day, like Tupac,
they will always get like singer, you know what I'm saying,
to sing the hooks. I feel like that's leaving today though,
Like you know what I'm saying. They don't do it
much shit they but yeah, I feel like niggas like me,
Ty Dollargy Pain and Tory Lane and Chris Brown, it's
like people be needing them type of hooks, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
So that's why that's why I was locking in on that. Yeah, man, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
For sure, Rest in Pains, that's a fact.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Was there ever an artist coming up that you would
chase or that you were trying to meet to you like,
let them hear some music of yours?
