Please spread the word, tell.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Everyone post it right now. But love it is our
congratulations man.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Thank you took it. Only took it a thousand days.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
A thousand days, honestly, That's what I was gonna ask.
So did you lock in for a thousand days to
get this project done?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Nah? I think I think light that it was in
flows because there was some points where life was like
a little too good. So it's like, when life is
too good, you can't You're not trying to sit in
front of a microphone for ten hours singing and writing.
You're just enjoying the person in front of you. My
(01:01):
future muse now is what I say, because even when
it's going good, now, I'm like, let's see how this works.
So everything was working, so it was, but I'm always writings.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, so you lock in thousand days? You started this
album in a relationship and you finished this album single.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah see that's why when it was like I love you,
I'll be like.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
All right, back at you for now? Are you like
a ditto type of person or like if somebody says
I love you, you're like.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Like like like as in I don't say it back.
Ye mean that's crazy, that's mean.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But like, giveon has this gift, right, not a lot
of people have it. He can give you really toxic
vibes or even bad news in a beautiful way.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You do that so well. I mean I use the
word honest.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Right you see, it's what I'm say and how toxic.
He can give you that toxic vibe and he calls
it honesty and it just.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Works out well, right, yeah it does.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Didn't you tell someone that you were basically cheating on them?
But I know, hold on, hold on, and you got
the story wrong because I know already wrong. It was
called trying to be trying to be yeah yeah, yeah, no,
it was more so like.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
A warning because I said, I ain't did nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yet, but there's.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
A chance, so love me now right or get it
right now before I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It was just like because sometimes I think that's the
beauty of being an artist. Some people think stuff or
feel stuff that they they know that. That's why that's
one of my They sing that song the loudest at
the shows because I'm not the only one that's been
in that position. But I think the job of an
artist is to say the stuff out loud. That's people
saying private yeah, right, And every song is a journal entry. Yeah. Yeah.
(03:03):
For the most part, it's just like I'll write it
because the writing is just cathargic. It's just a nice
way to get it out, and then I'll have certain
conversations with people about it. And if I feel like
people are understanding where I'm coming from, then I decide, like, Okay,
I think people are ready to hear this.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, you know, I want to talk about the song
that we're about to listen to. There's some things in
the lyrics that I'm just like, Okay, it sounds like
he's very good at reading people's vibes. How good are
you of a person reading people?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, I don't know if I'm always right, but
I think I'm just it's just a guess, but sometimes
I'm I get it pretty correct. But sometimes even when
I try to read someone's vibe and I get it
completely wrong though, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, and I can tell the song I can tell
is about seeing something in her eyes that that you recognize.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah. So it's just like that was more and so
from like a I've been in this position before. It's
kind of like if like sometimes I'll have a conversation
with someone and then you don't find out that this
person is in a situation all the way until the
end of the conversation, but there are multiple moments in
that conversation for you to let me know because obviously
(04:23):
I'm pursuing or being I don't like to I like
to be more poetic and more than just blunt. And
as far as like if I'm having like a romantic
flirty combo with someone, yeah, but it's like you can
feel that I'm doing that, and then by the end
of the combo it's like, oh, sorry, I have a boyfriend.
(04:46):
That's the worst. Yeah. Now to me, I'm just like, no,
it's fine. I'm really good with like rejection or like
he hearing no, especially being an artist. I've heard I
heard so many no's, like just as an artist, though
not just romantically so no to me, it's just something
(05:07):
I'm just like, okay, it just rolls off. Yeah, it's
just like, okay, I'll just go this.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, it's crazy. How like when you hear no in
anything you do, right, whether it's relationships or a job
or an opportunity, knows are really blessings in disguise.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, it's just redirection.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Very special project for you, man, thin we can tell Mann.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
There's a lot of feeling.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And your mom. Your mom is into it too. She's
part of the rollout.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I love that. Yeah, but that's it. She's not a
part of the album. I was like, okay, I'll have
you a part of something that's great. Man. You gotta
love moms, right, Yeah, she's funny. I can't she I
don't let because I just had a meet and greet
in my hometown yesterday and I didn't let her come.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You didn't let her come.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh she's too popular now.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Mom's just too poppular.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't want to worry about her while I was there.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But what if somebody paid to take a picture with
your mom? If they told you, like, can I please
take a picture of my mom? Will pay you?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No? I mean they could take a picture. I think
I was just more focused on the logistics, like okay,
and then she's gonna go home, and then you know,
and I'm already thinking about it too much. Now That's
why I'm like, no, rather, it's chill.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I can't wait for someone to ask you if you
can take a picture of them with.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Your mom, like come on now, but like her like
because obviously the last one that she would have just
I guess, just like her own little monologues at the
end or beginning of certain songs. And sometimes I'll see
just people referencing that with no correlation to me, because
(06:46):
then they don't even know because they hurt. Just the clip.
I was like, this lady is just she's speaking. Yeah,
I gotta make a I got to make a fake
account and be like, I think that's like Gibeon's mom,
like the singer. Yeah, I think that's like the singer.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I have a burner account.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Now I have to give credits.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Hilarious. We have some questions from the city audience. Garcia,
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What is your name in city?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
My name is Paulina and I'm from La Babe.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Everyone makes some noise for Paulina, So my question is
it's Saturday night.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
You're chilling at home? What are you drinking? Tequila or wine?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't. I don't drink any tequila. I only drink
wine when I do drink, probably like Saturday night. Am
I by myself?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You're chilling? It's whatever you want it to be.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Let's say you're not by yourself? Okay, okay at the house?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Sure, okay, Like I have to know.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Do you want to know what time it is?
Speaker 4 (07:48):

so I have I have this section in my in
my place that's just a conversation pit. Nice and I
don't there's no electronics allowed and there.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So then I think we'll be sitting in a conversation pit,
maybe drinking like some some rose.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, the red comes later probably.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Are you asking for personal reasons? Tequila girls are something else? Really, Yes,
I'm scared of Keirl.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
At the end of the conversations, I have a boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
All right, what is your name? And what's you from?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
From Compton?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Whatout Compton?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Okay, what's the longest your mom put you on a punishment?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That just gave me PTSD. On my neighborhood, just like
the block on this side of the street, I guess
it's for some reason. It was like this is where
all just like the boys were for some reason, and
on the other side it was girls there. That's where
all the everyone's daughters was at. So we would sneak
out and go just hang out with them after curfew.
(09:29):
But my mom worked the graveyard shift like she was
a nurse, so her shift was from like seven pm
on wait seven eleven pm to seven am, so so
she would sleep through the day pretty much. So then
she she when she went to work, we snuck out
and we was chilling and I don't know what went wrong,
(09:53):
And I don't know why she was home or on
her way home, cause it was like it was like
midnight and we're like just like playing in the street,
chilling in the street, and then we see her car
coming up. But it's like, oh, somebody got the same
car as her because she because she had work and
she can't take no days off when she got bills
to pay what So now I should have flipped it
(10:15):
on her, like, so what, you're just not gonna pay
these bills? I should I have to pry it up. Yeah. Sure,
So she she come in and we in the street
and the car flickers is light obviously because we're in
the streets. So we just like go around and we
just yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So long beach by the way.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, we just playing in the street and she it
pulls up and then we looking in the car to
like who were about to cuts out? It's her and
her scrubs, And I was like, nah, we ran upstairs.
I think we're grounded for like not that long, probably
like a week or two, because it was hard for
her to keep us grounded because she had ended up
(10:56):
feeling bad.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, thank you, that's right. So when you're grounded, is
it no TV, no snacks.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It was also hard to ground us because we ain't
have none that much.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Anyway, you're starting, yeah Mexican, and I forgot.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm sorry. Yeah, well, it's just like we didn't get
an allowance. We didn't. It was just like a you
can't go outside. But she had four boys, and all
of my brothers were like, we're all best friends. So
we was just like all right, so.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
At some point she wants you guys out of.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The house exactly. Yeah, yes, So it was kind of
hard to ground us. So you know, I almost forgot. Man.
We have a bottle of wine for you to enjoy.
What is this red? Uh? It is a red Are
you okay with red? Huh? Are you okay with the red?
Is it Saturday? It's Sunday, Sunday? What time is it?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's Sunday at eight pm sunset?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Already? Yes, said already. What's the humidity?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Maybe about twelve percent?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
About twelve percent? Sure, but you're inside.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Pause. I can make it work. You can make that
work work. That's right. Do you eat steak? I was
just happen tos combo with someone yesterday about just the
pairing of red red wine with steak. It's the best.
Sometimes I eat steak because it's annoying if I want
it a certain way, and then it's just like like
(12:18):
I wanted medium yesterday and then I got it kind of.
I got a medium, but it tastes medium well. And
then I'm telling everybody like, yo, this is I'm trying
to get validated, and they're like, no, that's medium. So
I'm just like, yeah, steak has just confusing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I ask you this question. Are you the type of
person to like speak up to a waiter and say like,
can I send this back?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh? No, no, no, yeah I can't. I can order a steak.
And if he would have brought out egg rolls, I
would have been like, thank you, Yeah, I can't send
it back.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I felt bad me too, and I don't want somebody
to spit on it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh yeah, true, So he just gave me an far Sorry. Yeah,
now I'm really not sending it back. Na.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Our producer Garcia, used to work the kitchen. He tells
the stories all the time. Not that he's spitting anybody's food,
but no, he just spits Niko's food.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Talk to us about rather be?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Rather Be. That's one of my favorite songs on the album,
and I think it's just the premise is just it's
about overall just acceptance because I just I feel like
no matter who you would. There's going to be some
type of flaws, and I think sometimes people get in
situations where they want to fix or edit a person
(13:43):
but rather be is more. So, I'm just gonna accept
and pick who's flaws do I want to stay with?
And I was just saying I'd rather have yours and
hopefully you rather have mine.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
All right, we just listened to rather Be, so I
got a few would you rather questions? Okay? Would you
rather lose your voice for a year and not be
able to listen to music for a year?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Jesus, I'd rather die.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Lose my voice, lose your voice?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Would you rather get back with your first love or
never go through heartbreak again? I know I'm so good
home or toxic or or everything? Holdly above?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, my first love I was in like eighth grade.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh cute.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'm not going to say that last night.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
The internet will do that, would you? Okay? Last one?
Would you rather wear black forever or only wear pastels?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I hate these with you? Rather yeah? Pastels though, because
then I'm just like just wear black all day, all
the time, all the time. No pastels, it's not the word.
I'm super dark too, right, Or no, I'll find a
loophole and time.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Is it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And a teaster perfect. So it worked out. Man.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
All right, we have more questions from the audience.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I'm Marina.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I'm from la Hey.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Everyone makes some noise, so girl, all right? My question
is what's one message you want your fans to take
away from the new album? Say what you initially thought,
because I know right right, no, I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I want them to take away that I'm if I'm
an artist. That's because sometimes artists will take a lot
of time and then they come back and they fall flat.
I want them to know even if I don't plan
on being going for a thousand days again promise, but
I want you guys to know that each of each
(15:57):
one of those days, I'm growing and developed myself as
an artist. So even if song isn't songs aren't coming out,
or you're not hearing from it, it's because I'm somewhere
working on the craft, and I feel like people can
hear it in this it's more so like a oh
that's where he's been.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So thank you, thank you, thank you very much, thank you.

I didn't get into wow caw stay Long Beach, but.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I was also still mad.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah. I was just all while not really like doing
my homework. I was just like writing but so but math, chemistry,
all of that.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I was just like the same thing happened to me.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I was turned in a turn paper, you turned in
lyrics exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I tried to write why I passed, you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Know why, reasons why you should pass me?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah. But then so, but I had friends who went there,
and I was able to go to all the parties
and stuff, even even through them. But every year they
had a big they would use their full budget to
allocate to a performer. It was like the like students
the big concert. Yeah, and each time they would go
and only students could go. So every time they went,
(20:42):
I would have fomo because that was the only things
I couldn't go to. And then a couple of years ago,
I was the performer at the thing. What a flex Yeah,
So I was like, yeah, and I told my friends,
y'all can't come now because they graduated. Why you can't come,
I'll tell you how it was.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's crazy, man, Yo. I want to play twenties for everybody.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oh twenties.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, I think they want to hear twenties.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, twenties is. It's funny because twenties started as a
love song. Because I was going to say, all of
my friends are out running around doing all this stuff,
but I'd rather spend my time. I was gonna say,
I'd rather spend my twenties on you. But then it
was just like it didn't work. So I'm like, I
(21:30):
just wasted this, so m yeah, I'm sure it wasn't
a complete waste of time. No, but that's that's what
my mom said when I sent her the song and
I was like, I'm not trying to hear this right now. Yeah,
like let me just you know, I just she was like, no,
you it was a lesson. I'm like, bro, don't come
(21:50):
to the meet and greet, come to the the whole
song in album. Honestly, it's all play live like eight Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think the whole the whole album feels like it's
prepared to play a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, it's like it's sonically it all started as just
jam sessions, just a bunch of musicians, yeah, sitting around.
So you're taking this album on tour? Oh yeah absolutely
yeah yeah, oh yeah definitely yeah bringing me home for sure.
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
When your way in on Real ninety two three, that's
a fact, I promise you, right.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah right yeah right, that's the only way, actually, the
only way. I like that.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Man, Yo, this is our exclusive cruise Show'll give you
on listening party on Real ninety two three makes some
noise for yourselves one time, but love it is out
now give you on what up?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Jack Yo, shout out one more time to our food
vendors outside. We got long Beach Lumpia, we got the
Kine Grinds, and we also got Wings by Mezzo, which
don't worry, it'll be after, I promise you again.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Man, no skips on beloved right, also provanity, no slang.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Why I just feel like I don't need it. That's
my reason now because before it was because my grandma,
she listens to it, but I'm like, I'm grown. I
told her. I was like, you know, I prepped her.
I was like, you know, if I want to, I'm
a cuss, right, and she was like all right. But
(23:23):
then it forced me to learn how to just articulate
myself even more so. It's just it just doesn't seem necessary.
And every song I have something to say, I just
want to say it, and then I'm gonna go to
the next one. That's right. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We know, like quality is obviously big for you, right,
quality steak.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
All of that right, quality, weather.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Quality, weather, quality, time wine wine. Right, But the quality
in the music that's what stands out for me as.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Well, yeah, and I think it's like I think I
pulled from such a time where quality was that you
you had no choice. So now it's like I'm still
chasing the just like legendary soul artists. I'm a long
way off. But now some because things are digital, you
(24:15):
can't feel the fabric or you can't feel the textures
of certain sounds as much. So this album pops out,
but it's still it's just the standard of the music
that I would listen to, So I take it as
a compliment, but I still it's going to get even
crazier as I just develop as an artist. I want
to play Keeper really quick. Jack, you have a question
(24:37):
about it.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, Keeper. I'm kind of touching on the subject of
the title. Whose secrets do you keep the most? Like,
who's the person that always comes to you and has
a secret?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And then.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I can't they gonna hate, They're not gonna come back.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You don't have to tell me their secret?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh I mean no, no, no, I got some I got
some homies who are just like you know.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I know what those homies are doing. Dog, you're not
telling nobody, that's right. I got to tell you something, Dog,
I won't spill.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But also when I'm in a relationship to like low
key my girlfriend, she'll tell me it's not a secret.
But sometimes if she's annoyed with a friend of hers,
I'm like the one she would tell me because you know,
I won't go and be like, you know, she talking
about you, right, because sometimes like friendships, people any'll annoy
(25:35):
each other, but you just need to express it. So
and yeah, that's my homies, some homies.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, yeah, the homies, the boys all day. When I
said the keeper your face expression, well, because that's my
favorite song on the album, that's it. Yeah, Give just
told me when he wrote it, he was he wrote
it off of that red wine you were you were
drinking a little.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Bit, yeah, a little bit of not help. But it
was just like because also when I was writing it,
everything was like coming back because in order for me
to really go to that place and write such specific songs,
I think the relatability is because it's coming from a
specific place and some people will hear a certain line
(26:20):
and be like that's exactly it. So sometimes when I
to get through it, because otherwise it'll just be too
much of an emotional process. So I'm like, let me
just have a glass on wine real quick, there you go,
or a whole bottle. No, probably not. I wouldn't be
I wouldn't be making it here for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Shout out one more time to our food vendors, Long
Beach Lumpia, The Kine Grinds, Things by Mezzo de Kaine Grinds,

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Please spread the word, tell.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Everyone post it right now. But love it is our
congratulations man.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Thank you took it. Only took it a thousand days.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
A thousand days, honestly, That's what I was gonna ask.
So did you lock in for a thousand days to
get this project done?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Nah? I think I think light that it was in
flows because there was some points where life was like
a little too good. So it's like, when life is
too good, you can't You're not trying to sit in
front of a microphone for ten hours singing and writing.
You're just enjoying the person in front of you. My
(01:01):
future muse now is what I say, because even when
it's going good, now, I'm like, let's see how this works.
So everything was working, so it was, but I'm always writings.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, so you lock in thousand days? You started this
album in a relationship and you finished this album single.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah see that's why when it was like I love you,
I'll be like.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
All right, back at you for now? Are you like
a ditto type of person or like if somebody says
I love you, you're like.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Like like like as in I don't say it back.
Ye mean that's crazy, that's mean.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But like, giveon has this gift, right, not a lot
of people have it. He can give you really toxic
vibes or even bad news in a beautiful way.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You do that so well. I mean I use the
word honest.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Right you see, it's what I'm say and how toxic.
He can give you that toxic vibe and he calls
it honesty and it just.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Works out well, right, yeah it does.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Didn't you tell someone that you were basically cheating on them?
But I know, hold on, hold on, and you got
the story wrong because I know already wrong. It was
called trying to be trying to be yeah yeah, yeah, no,
it was more so like.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
A warning because I said, I ain't did nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yet, but there's.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
A chance, so love me now right or get it
right now before I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It was just like because sometimes I think that's the
beauty of being an artist. Some people think stuff or
feel stuff that they they know that. That's why that's
one of my They sing that song the loudest at
the shows because I'm not the only one that's been
in that position. But I think the job of an
artist is to say the stuff out loud. That's people
saying private yeah, right, And every song is a journal entry. Yeah. Yeah.
(03:03):
For the most part, it's just like I'll write it
because the writing is just cathargic. It's just a nice
way to get it out, and then I'll have certain
conversations with people about it. And if I feel like
people are understanding where I'm coming from, then I decide, like, Okay,
I think people are ready to hear this.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, you know, I want to talk about the song
that we're about to listen to. There's some things in
the lyrics that I'm just like, Okay, it sounds like
he's very good at reading people's vibes. How good are
you of a person reading people?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, I don't know if I'm always right, but
I think I'm just it's just a guess, but sometimes
I'm I get it pretty correct. But sometimes even when
I try to read someone's vibe and I get it
completely wrong though, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, and I can tell the song I can tell
is about seeing something in her eyes that that you recognize.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah. So it's just like that was more and so
from like a I've been in this position before. It's
kind of like if like sometimes I'll have a conversation
with someone and then you don't find out that this
person is in a situation all the way until the
end of the conversation, but there are multiple moments in
that conversation for you to let me know because obviously
(04:23):
I'm pursuing or being I don't like to I like
to be more poetic and more than just blunt. And
as far as like if I'm having like a romantic
flirty combo with someone, yeah, but it's like you can
feel that I'm doing that, and then by the end
of the combo it's like, oh, sorry, I have a boyfriend.
(04:46):
That's the worst. Yeah. Now to me, I'm just like, no,
it's fine. I'm really good with like rejection or like
he hearing no, especially being an artist. I've heard I
heard so many no's, like just as an artist, though
not just romantically so no to me, it's just something
(05:07):
I'm just like, okay, it just rolls off. Yeah, it's
just like, okay, I'll just go this.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, it's crazy. How like when you hear no in
anything you do, right, whether it's relationships or a job
or an opportunity, knows are really blessings in disguise.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, it's just redirection.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Very special project for you, man, thin we can tell Mann.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
There's a lot of feeling.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And your mom. Your mom is into it too. She's
part of the rollout.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I love that. Yeah, but that's it. She's not a
part of the album. I was like, okay, I'll have
you a part of something that's great. Man. You gotta
love moms, right, Yeah, she's funny. I can't she I
don't let because I just had a meet and greet
in my hometown yesterday and I didn't let her come.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You didn't let her come.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh she's too popular now.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Mom's just too poppular.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't want to worry about her while I was there.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But what if somebody paid to take a picture with
your mom? If they told you, like, can I please
take a picture of my mom? Will pay you?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No? I mean they could take a picture. I think
I was just more focused on the logistics, like okay,
and then she's gonna go home, and then you know,
and I'm already thinking about it too much. Now That's
why I'm like, no, rather, it's chill.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I can't wait for someone to ask you if you
can take a picture of them with.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Your mom, like come on now, but like her like
because obviously the last one that she would have just
I guess, just like her own little monologues at the
end or beginning of certain songs. And sometimes I'll see
just people referencing that with no correlation to me, because
(06:46):
then they don't even know because they hurt. Just the clip.
I was like, this lady is just she's speaking. Yeah,
I gotta make a I got to make a fake
account and be like, I think that's like Gibeon's mom,
like the singer. Yeah, I think that's like the singer.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I have a burner account.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Now I have to give credits.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Hilarious. We have some questions from the city audience. Garcia,
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What is your name in city?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
My name is Paulina and I'm from La Babe.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Everyone makes some noise for Paulina, So my question is
it's Saturday night.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
You're chilling at home? What are you drinking? Tequila or wine?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't. I don't drink any tequila. I only drink
wine when I do drink, probably like Saturday night. Am
I by myself?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You're chilling? It's whatever you want it to be.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Let's say you're not by yourself? Okay, okay at the house?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Sure, okay, Like I have to know.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Do you want to know what time it is?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Why?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Remember you got socks on?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Right? Okay, so we're got a fresh haircut, clean, always
have that.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
It's seventy five, it's sunny, it's sunset.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It's the daytime, well early evening sun sunset, sunset, she.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Said, setting thirty percent humidity, Yeah that's right.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Winds are like five miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Have your phone is charged that around fifty percent?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah? Yeah, okay, I know what time it is for that,
so I have I have this section in my in
my place that's just a conversation pit. Nice and I
don't there's no electronics allowed and there.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So then I think we'll be sitting in a conversation pit,
maybe drinking like some some rose.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, the red comes later probably.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Are you asking for personal reasons? Tequila girls are something else? Really, Yes,
I'm scared of Keirl.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
At the end of the conversations, I have a boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
All right, what is your name? And what's you from?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
From Compton?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That's right?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Whatout Compton?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Okay, what's the longest your mom put you on a punishment?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That just gave me PTSD. On my neighborhood, just like
the block on this side of the street, I guess
it's for some reason. It was like this is where
all just like the boys were for some reason, and
on the other side it was girls there. That's where
all the everyone's daughters was at. So we would sneak
out and go just hang out with them after curfew.
(09:29):
But my mom worked the graveyard shift like she was
a nurse, so her shift was from like seven pm
on wait seven eleven pm to seven am, so so
she would sleep through the day pretty much. So then
she she when she went to work, we snuck out
and we was chilling and I don't know what went wrong,
(09:53):
And I don't know why she was home or on
her way home, cause it was like it was like
midnight and we're like just like playing in the street,
chilling in the street, and then we see her car
coming up. But it's like, oh, somebody got the same
car as her because she because she had work and
she can't take no days off when she got bills
to pay what So now I should have flipped it
(10:15):
on her, like, so what, you're just not gonna pay
these bills? I should I have to pry it up. Yeah. Sure,
So she she come in and we in the street
and the car flickers is light obviously because we're in
the streets. So we just like go around and we
just yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So long beach by the way.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, we just playing in the street and she it
pulls up and then we looking in the car to
like who were about to cuts out? It's her and
her scrubs, And I was like, nah, we ran upstairs.
I think we're grounded for like not that long, probably
like a week or two, because it was hard for
her to keep us grounded because she had ended up
(10:56):
feeling bad.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, thank you, that's right. So when you're grounded, is
it no TV, no snacks.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It was also hard to ground us because we ain't
have none that much.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Anyway, you're starting, yeah Mexican, and I forgot.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm sorry. Yeah, well, it's just like we didn't get
an allowance. We didn't. It was just like a you
can't go outside. But she had four boys, and all
of my brothers were like, we're all best friends. So
we was just like all right, so.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
At some point she wants you guys out of.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The house exactly. Yeah, yes, So it was kind of
hard to ground us. So you know, I almost forgot. Man.
We have a bottle of wine for you to enjoy.
What is this red? Uh? It is a red Are
you okay with red? Huh? Are you okay with the red?
Is it Saturday? It's Sunday, Sunday? What time is it?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's Sunday at eight pm sunset?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Already? Yes, said already. What's the humidity?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Maybe about twelve percent?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
About twelve percent? Sure, but you're inside.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Pause. I can make it work. You can make that
work work. That's right. Do you eat steak? I was
just happen tos combo with someone yesterday about just the
pairing of red red wine with steak. It's the best.
Sometimes I eat steak because it's annoying if I want
it a certain way, and then it's just like like
(12:18):
I wanted medium yesterday and then I got it kind of.
I got a medium, but it tastes medium well. And
then I'm telling everybody like, yo, this is I'm trying
to get validated, and they're like, no, that's medium. So
I'm just like, yeah, steak has just confusing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I ask you this question. Are you the type of
person to like speak up to a waiter and say like,
can I send this back?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh? No, no, no, yeah I can't. I can order a steak.
And if he would have brought out egg rolls, I
would have been like, thank you, Yeah, I can't send
it back.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I felt bad me too, and I don't want somebody
to spit on it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh yeah, true, So he just gave me an far Sorry. Yeah,
now I'm really not sending it back. Na.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Our producer Garcia, used to work the kitchen. He tells
the stories all the time. Not that he's spitting anybody's food,
but no, he just spits Niko's food.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Talk to us about rather be?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Rather Be. That's one of my favorite songs on the album,
and I think it's just the premise is just it's
about overall just acceptance because I just I feel like
no matter who you would. There's going to be some
type of flaws, and I think sometimes people get in
situations where they want to fix or edit a person
(13:43):
but rather be is more. So, I'm just gonna accept
and pick who's flaws do I want to stay with?
And I was just saying I'd rather have yours and
hopefully you rather have mine.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
All right, we just listened to rather Be, so I
got a few would you rather questions? Okay? Would you
rather lose your voice for a year and not be
able to listen to music for a year?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Jesus, I'd rather die.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Lose my voice, lose your voice?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Would you rather get back with your first love or
never go through heartbreak again? I know I'm so good
home or toxic or or everything? Holdly above?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, my first love I was in like eighth grade.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh cute.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'm not going to say that last night.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
The internet will do that, would you? Okay? Last one?
Would you rather wear black forever or only wear pastels?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I hate these with you? Rather yeah? Pastels though, because
then I'm just like just wear black all day, all
the time, all the time. No pastels, it's not the word.
I'm super dark too, right, Or no, I'll find a
loophole and time.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Is it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And a teaster perfect. So it worked out. Man.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
All right, we have more questions from the audience.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Carsia, Yes we do. What is your name and city? Hi?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I'm Marina.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I'm from la Hey.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Everyone makes some noise, so girl, all right? My question
is what's one message you want your fans to take
away from the new album? Say what you initially thought,
because I know right right, no, I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I want them to take away that I'm if I'm
an artist. That's because sometimes artists will take a lot
of time and then they come back and they fall flat.
I want them to know even if I don't plan
on being going for a thousand days again promise, but
I want you guys to know that each of each
(15:57):
one of those days, I'm growing and developed myself as
an artist. So even if song isn't songs aren't coming out,
or you're not hearing from it, it's because I'm somewhere
working on the craft, and I feel like people can
hear it in this it's more so like a oh
that's where he's been.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So thank you, thank you, thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:17):

that one. Next. Yeah, I would have to think about it.
I can't think of one off the top of my
head as far as series, But yeah, Hitch, what's your
runner up? What's your runner up for a rom com?

four and five. Now, this isn't a rom com kind
of but it feels like it. But I don't know,
I can't. I don't even remember the name of it.
It's just there's a there's a married couple, and then
two of her friends are the god parents and they
(17:59):

they have to raise her.
Speaker 3 (18:03):

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah. I feel I'm just like checking off all the
boxes because I remember it as a school in Long Beach.
I didn't get into wow caw stay Long Beach, but.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I was also still mad.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah. I was just all while not really like doing
my homework. I was just like writing but so but math, chemistry,
all of that.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I was just like the same thing happened to me.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I was turned in a turn paper, you turned in
lyrics exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I tried to write why I passed, you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Know why, reasons why you should pass me?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah. But then so, but I had friends who went there,
and I was able to go to all the parties
and stuff, even even through them. But every year they
had a big they would use their full budget to
allocate to a performer. It was like the like students
the big concert. Yeah, and each time they would go
and only students could go. So every time they went,
(20:42):
I would have fomo because that was the only things
I couldn't go to. And then a couple of years ago,
I was the performer at the thing. What a flex Yeah,
So I was like, yeah, and I told my friends,
y'all can't come now because they graduated. Why you can't come,
I'll tell you how it was.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's crazy, man, Yo. I want to play twenties for everybody.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oh twenties.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, I think they want to hear twenties.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, twenties is. It's funny because twenties started as a
love song. Because I was going to say, all of
my friends are out running around doing all this stuff,
but I'd rather spend my time. I was gonna say,
I'd rather spend my twenties on you. But then it
was just like it didn't work. So I'm like, I
(21:30):
just wasted this, so m yeah, I'm sure it wasn't
a complete waste of time. No, but that's that's what
my mom said when I sent her the song and
I was like, I'm not trying to hear this right now. Yeah,
like let me just you know, I just she was like, no,
you it was a lesson. I'm like, bro, don't come
(21:50):
to the meet and greet, come to the the whole
song in album. Honestly, it's all play live like eight Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think the whole the whole album feels like it's
prepared to play a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, it's like it's sonically it all started as just
jam sessions, just a bunch of musicians, yeah, sitting around.
So you're taking this album on tour? Oh yeah absolutely
yeah yeah, oh yeah definitely yeah bringing me home for sure.
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
When your way in on Real ninety two three, that's
a fact, I promise you, right.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah right yeah right, that's the only way, actually, the
only way. I like that.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Man, Yo, this is our exclusive cruise Show'll give you
on listening party on Real ninety two three makes some
noise for yourselves one time, but love it is out
now give you on what up?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Jack Yo, shout out one more time to our food
vendors outside. We got long Beach Lumpia, we got the
Kine Grinds, and we also got Wings by Mezzo, which
don't worry, it'll be after, I promise you again.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Man, no skips on beloved right, also provanity, no slang.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Why I just feel like I don't need it. That's
my reason now because before it was because my grandma,
she listens to it, but I'm like, I'm grown. I
told her. I was like, you know, I prepped her.
I was like, you know, if I want to, I'm
a cuss, right, and she was like all right. But
(23:23):
then it forced me to learn how to just articulate
myself even more so. It's just it just doesn't seem necessary.
And every song I have something to say, I just
want to say it, and then I'm gonna go to
the next one. That's right. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We know, like quality is obviously big for you, right,
quality steak.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
All of that right, quality, weather.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Quality, weather, quality, time wine wine. Right, But the quality
in the music that's what stands out for me as.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Well, yeah, and I think it's like I think I
pulled from such a time where quality was that you
you had no choice. So now it's like I'm still
chasing the just like legendary soul artists. I'm a long
way off. But now some because things are digital, you
(24:15):
can't feel the fabric or you can't feel the textures
of certain sounds as much. So this album pops out,
but it's still it's just the standard of the music
that I would listen to, So I take it as
a compliment, but I still it's going to get even
crazier as I just develop as an artist. I want
to play Keeper really quick. Jack, you have a question
(24:37):
about it.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, Keeper. I'm kind of touching on the subject of
the title. Whose secrets do you keep the most? Like,
who's the person that always comes to you and has
a secret?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And then.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I can't they gonna hate, They're not gonna come back.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You don't have to tell me their secret?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Oh I mean no, no, no, I got some I got
some homies who are just like you know.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I know what those homies are doing. Dog, you're not
telling nobody, that's right. I got to tell you something, Dog,
I won't spill.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But also when I'm in a relationship to like low
key my girlfriend, she'll tell me it's not a secret.
But sometimes if she's annoyed with a friend of hers,
I'm like the one she would tell me because you know,
I won't go and be like, you know, she talking
about you, right, because sometimes like friendships, people any'll annoy
(25:35):
each other, but you just need to express it. So
and yeah, that's my homies, some homies.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, yeah, the homies, the boys all day. When I
said the keeper your face expression, well, because that's my
favorite song on the album, that's it. Yeah, Give just
told me when he wrote it, he was he wrote
it off of that red wine you were you were
drinking a little.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Bit, yeah, a little bit of not help. But it
was just like because also when I was writing it,
everything was like coming back because in order for me
to really go to that place and write such specific songs,
I think the relatability is because it's coming from a
specific place and some people will hear a certain line
(26:20):
and be like that's exactly it. So sometimes when I
to get through it, because otherwise it'll just be too
much of an emotional process. So I'm like, let me
just have a glass on wine real quick, there you go,
or a whole bottle. No, probably not. I wouldn't be
I wouldn't be making it here for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (26:44):

Beach Lumpia, The Kine Grinds, Things by Mezzo de Kaine Grinds,
