Speaker 5 (08:50):
Crazy like all sorts of walks of life doing the
Black Beatles Challenge.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
And it got to the point like people and like
use Baker don't know me, they know the song. So
it's like now it's like I'm connecting to that's my
face to these songs and these moments. It's like, you
know what I'm saying, like like a step up. Like,
now y'all know all these songs, White people, black people, Spanish,

what I'm saying, Like what three four albums in?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like I got a long way to go? Yeah, you
feel me? So you know you obviously come with just
like hit after hit after hit. You feel like it's
difficult for you to one up your last hit.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, I got a high bar for
myself for show, Like like it's a lot to live
up to for show and just keep following up with.
But it's like I'm making these it's like my style
of music. So it's like this is what I naturally do.
So it's like hopefully it connects with the people. But
it's like I know I got three thousand more, so
like I'm just like, let me just keep getting them
out and see whatever connects. You never know what they're
(10:06):
gonna like to in this day and age. That's the
weirdest thing.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Like, you know, the fans, they don't necessarily know what
they want.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
They don't even know theirselfs like, yeah, I give them
like options, like on a platter, I bring the food.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Out, the.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Mangos, I'm vegan over here, over here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You've worked on thousands of songs. Is there a song
that you've worked on for another artist that hasn't seen
the light of day that you just can't wait to
come out? Damn? That's a good question. Ship.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Now you gotta think bad.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
It's like I'm like, sometimes I like you do songs
and they just they just sit there like and they smash.
It's definitely I probably say, like this song I got
with Chain Smokers, it was hard. It's like a like
a big song, like, but it's like, damn it just
we just did it and nothing really, you know, because
everybody got their own.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Stuff going on.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
It's like, of course, of course they might be thinking
about the whole song they did with Taylor Swift or something,
and they just sitting.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
There different thing and then you overthink it as an artist,
ye sir, Yeah, you know you fear like is it
the right thing?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Is it the right time? They don't like this, like
should I drop this other trap song? It's like this
and it's so simple. Just put it out and just
see what they do.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
That's it really.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Hasn't It hasn't released, It hasn't seen the time of day.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, I hasn't released. It hasn't even released. I even
got a second version.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Maybe this twenty sixteen coming back type of thing is
the year that they drop it.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I mean, I mean no, for sure, I think we
need to definitely just keep flooding them from here on out,
just flooding, flooding.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Over every every month.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Sway Lee new albums, I'm just pressing the gas.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Why same difference by the title.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Same difference.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
It's like it kind of plays into like just me
being a Gemini and stuff, like having these different versions
of myself, Like you know, they say Geminis have two
sides and stuff. So it's like swayly even on No
Flex and I was like swally sway, it's the same difference.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So it's like now it's like damn, it is the
same difference.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Like when you hear me over here on this unforgettable
record singing my heart.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
My eggs, bitch, I'm shining in all my eggs.

same difference, you know what I'm saying, what I can do, Like,
I ain't trying to put myself in a box. It's
like skittles, eminem same difference, you know what I'm saying,

Paddock paddic Ap saying Tomorrow Tomato tow. And it's like
I want the people to like feel like the same
difference to like whatever song they like, if they like,
if they only like track three and track seven, that's
their version of me inside them, that's their version of
them inside me. That's that's the that's the things we

Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know what I'm saying. It's like everything is everything
is intentional, you know what I'm saying, Like I feels
that way.

My ear was hearing him on there strongly at first too,
So I DMed him on Twitter, like, Bro, he got

about that. He took the song. You know what I'm saying,

aging with the songs.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know what I'm saying, they're connecting and ship that's

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Moment to really appreciate, like how massive it's gotten.

steady reminders, you know, like even like the twenty sixteen
like when it serves back, it's twenty sixteen again, you

this stuff you have, Like it's like they're rocking, like
these people just rocking and turned like.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah, it comes back, but it's also this this new life.

It's like perfect time because I'm dropping the album and
shit too, Corona Passes likes still rocking, still turn. You know,
fans all over the world in Europe, fucking Australia with
the kangaroos, they want the ship, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Crazy like all sorts of walks of life doing the
Black Beatles Challenge.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
And it got to the point like people and like
use Baker don't know me, they know the song. So
it's like now it's like I'm connecting to that's my
face to these songs and these moments. It's like, you
know what I'm saying, like like a step up. Like,
now y'all know all these songs, White people, black people, Spanish,
everybody know these jus you know what I'm saying. So
it's like, boom, this is me. This, this is what
(09:16):
I do. Now start give them solo projects, leave projects.
We are saying, see who I really what I really do?
Speaker 2 (09:21):

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Nah you know me?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You feel me now, y'all know, yeah what I really do.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Like the Nigga Prince, he dropped thirty albums, you know
what I'm saying, Like what three four albums in?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like I got a long way to go? Yeah, you
feel me? So you know you obviously come with just
like hit after hit after hit. You feel like it's
difficult for you to one up your last hit.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, I got a high bar for
myself for show, Like like it's a lot to live
up to for show and just keep following up with.
But it's like I'm making these it's like my style
of music. So it's like this is what I naturally do.
So it's like hopefully it connects with the people. But
it's like I know I got three thousand more, so
like I'm just like, let me just keep getting them
out and see whatever connects. You never know what they're
(10:06):
gonna like to in this day and age. That's the
weirdest thing.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Like, you know, the fans, they don't necessarily know what
they want.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
They don't even know theirselfs like, yeah, I give them
like options, like on a platter, I bring the food.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Out, the.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Mangos, I'm vegan over here, over here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You've worked on thousands of songs. Is there a song
that you've worked on for another artist that hasn't seen
the light of day that you just can't wait to
come out? Damn? That's a good question. Ship.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Now you gotta think bad.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
It's like I'm like, sometimes I like you do songs
and they just they just sit there like and they smash.
It's definitely I probably say, like this song I got
with Chain Smokers, it was hard. It's like a like
a big song, like, but it's like, damn it just
we just did it and nothing really, you know, because
everybody got their own.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Stuff going on.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
It's like, of course, of course they might be thinking
about the whole song they did with Taylor Swift or something,
and they just sitting.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
There different thing and then you overthink it as an artist,
ye sir, Yeah, you know you fear like is it
the right thing?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Is it the right time? They don't like this, like
should I drop this other trap song? It's like this
and it's so simple. Just put it out and just
see what they do.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
That's it really.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Hasn't It hasn't released, It hasn't seen the time of day.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, I hasn't released. It hasn't even released. I even
got a second version.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Maybe this twenty sixteen coming back type of thing is
the year that they drop it.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I mean, I mean no, for sure, I think we
need to definitely just keep flooding them from here on out,
just flooding, flooding.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Over every every month.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Sway Lee new albums, I'm just pressing the gas.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Why same difference by the title.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Same difference.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
It's like it kind of plays into like just me
being a Gemini and stuff, like having these different versions
of myself, Like you know, they say Geminis have two
sides and stuff. So it's like swayly even on No
Flex and I was like swally sway, it's the same difference.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So it's like now it's like damn, it is the
same difference.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Like when you hear me over here on this unforgettable
record singing my heart.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
My eggs, bitch, I'm shining in all my eggs.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Like you know what, it's all the same differ. It's
all me just doing it. I'm just cranking shit, you
know what I'm saying. So it's like I'm giving them
different versions of me and just different moves and ship like.
So it's like, yeah, all these songs are just the
same difference, you know what I'm saying, what I can do, Like,
I ain't trying to put myself in a box. It's
like skittles, eminem same difference, you know what I'm saying,
(12:27):
Paddock paddic Ap saying Tomorrow Tomato tow. And it's like
I want the people to like feel like the same
difference to like whatever song they like, if they like,
if they only like track three and track seven, that's
their version of me inside them, that's their version of
them inside me. That's that's the that's the things we
have in common, you know what I'm Yeah, So it's like, yeah,
like just something for everybody on there.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
You know, when you hear the album. We're listening to
the album obviously, right we spent some time with it. Yeah,
and there's love.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
There's some experiments, right, but like is it an experiment?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
This is Sway and this is who he is.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Yeah, it's so different it could be called an experiment.
But this is just how I hear the music.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know what I'm saying. It's like everything is everything
is intentional, you know what I'm saying, Like I feels
that way.
Speaker 6 (13:12):

soft stuff, you know what I'm saying. They might want
to get a little edgy, get you know what I'm saying,
flex up a little bit, So give them the turnout
