(01:05):
pursue and you enjoy and it's apassion?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
I mean, I mean, I always grew up, I mean, I think,
like any of us, our family kindof, where it starts at who's
raising you, who you buy.
We knew when you're little, youknow whose car you're driving
in, you know they're bumpingyeah I listen to the music at
home.
You know where they got recordsor not.
You know so mine, yeah, so minewas.
You know all my uncles andaunts, my dad and mom.
You know grandparents what was?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
what was the the genre?
Was it funk?
Was it what?
What was it then?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
and they live all the doo-wop oldies.
Okay, that was like probablythe first thing I started.
You know all that.
You know, uh, john johnny ace,and you know I mean all that.
You know mary Wells, you knowjust like All the old DuBois
stuff, you know.
So Grew up in that and then,yeah, then went to the funk and
you know I grew up In LA in the80s and 90s.
Freestyle was all good.
You know what I mean.
You know all that Disco.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
LA disco was dope, you know what I mean, so funk.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
Big disco, Big funk at yeah all the way back.
I mean, we're talking about howyou grew up in Arvin.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
So this is before my father died, at the time when I
was young, yeah, so I remembergetting a box of his tapes and
it was a bunch of old school hiphop stuff, or it could have
been.
I mean a lot.
And I remember popping inPoojies, popping in you know
what I mean Ice Cube, all theold school stuff that we grew up
to.
And I remember popping inPoojies, popping in Ice Cube,

(02:27):
all the old school stuff that wegrew up to.
And that's when hip hop came upand just inspired me, like, all
right, what is this?
Gave me that light bulb, right?
Yep.
And then from then on I justkept getting my hands on
whatever I could, startingbuilding up my own stuff from
there.
And then somehow I got myselfin the hip-hop scene of

(02:49):
bakersfield.
All right, and it's not that Iwanted to become a digit, it
just happened and I had.
I became a natural with it.
It became a second handinstinct, like, and I took it on
from there, just startedgrowing and and it's been 17
years since been doing it andprogressing and making the best.
And we're still students.

(03:10):
You always got to keep learning, oh yeah I think.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think that's a.
That's a great point, that anyprofession, you have to keep
learning.
You can't stop you, you can'tget complacent, you can't get
comfortable, because things arealways advancing, changing,
progressing.
Stems in the last few yearshave gotten bigger and bigger
stuff like that.
You know some of the platformslike uh, vdjs maybe they had
them a few years before serato,whatever it may be, but uh, yeah

(03:34):
, always changing, alwayschanging.
Who, um, who are you guys'sinfluence, like your biggest
influence?
If you had to name oneindividual who really inspired
you to do the whole thing, whois it?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh man, that's a tough question.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Well, for me it'd be my grandfather, okay Period,
maybe because he did musicalinstruments.
He played guitar, piano andsung in choir and church and I
just took that as inspiration tojust do me.
All right, you know and andlearn same thing.
I played guitar and piano andtook on the turntables.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Nice, you know yeah, I would say my dad.
Like again the 80s and 90s restin peace.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, rest in peace, appreciate it, yeah you know the
whole lowrider scene.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
It was big in LA.
Everybody had systems in thecars.
Everybody was bumping,everybody wanted to bump the
newest music, right.
So you know what I mean.
That was like you know all thatright there, just always having
it there had that feeling ofhow it sounded, how it made you
feel you know stuff like that.
So yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Down in East LA, oh, the great area you know what I
mean, so you know.
The fun area, yeah, thepeaceful area.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
It is, it is.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
If you're from there, yeah, if you're from there.
Who.
So for me, you know, we've allgrown, adapted and we've been
down different trees, if youwill.
But there's somebody at theroot of that tree, like for me,
I think at the root of my tree.
It was probably Sugar Hill Gang, rapper's Delight.

(05:09):
That's what really.
Just as a little white kid inArvin, I was just fascinated by
it.
I loved it.
It was hip hop, it was pure, itwas storytelling at the time,
as opposed to some of the stuffnow is not so much storytelling,
but back then, rapper's delight, I think, is what really sunk
its hooks into me as far as mymusic in my direction and how I

(05:33):
got to these other places with,um, let's say, reggae, bob
marley right, everybody startswith marley when they talk about
reggae, usually you talk aboutmarley and that's reggae.
But.
But somehow I've branched offfrom from Marley and I've went
into sublime, for instance, andthen to pepper and then to Rome
and then to, uh, soldier andrevolution and all of these

(05:54):
other cats.
But the root of that was Marleyand the root of my hip hop was
sugar hill gang.
What, what do you guys?
What do you guys think?

Speaker 4 (06:08):
you know bively, I remember my dad playing records.
I mean george thurgood was likebad to bone when it first came
out.
I mean that song was just likehanger, like man battle bone was
a banger.
You know, when that firststarts, that's a song you can
start right from the beginning.
You already know what's aboutto drop.
You can play it from thebeginning.
So, and all the records.
But I mean again, he was alwaysinto even all the classic rock

(06:29):
too.
You know, I mean stuff likethat.
Yeah same, but uh nwa man anyway, is probably the one that kind
of sunk into me.
You know, I mean really talkabout storytelling, storytelling
and all that kind of stuff.
You had the cassette tape andthe blazer 87 blazer and we used
to play it.
And just like you know all thatfunk, all that, you know the g
funk and all that kind of stuffthat was in there.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
So yeah, and going back to the feud with ice cube
and easy and bumping those tapestoo.
Oh, man that's just bringingback memories used to cruise
through, especially being inbakersfield all right.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
So we got a little bit of a background on both of
you guys.
What's your guys' thoughts oncollaboration, Like how do you
feel about?

Speaker 4 (07:14):
collaborating when you have multiple DJs.
I love it.
I mean I personally, everybodyknows that For me.
I mean I love it.
You're notorious for it.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
You're notorious for exposing people to like the
Condor Games, to Eagle Mountain,to other events that you're at.
Chewy's even.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, I mean I'm with it.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I just want to say something man and props, I
salute you.
I salute you on that.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
man, real talk, yeah, for real because it takes a lot
for someone to acknowledgeother DJs and put them on
another platform.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, I mean, some guys are just starting to, and
the veterans, everything inbetween.
Like you said, we all learnfrom everybody A different eye.
It could get like high school.
I get it.
I know the DJs that don't talkto other DJs.
I get it.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Business is business.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
The people falls out, that's their own thing.
Until that happens, between meand them.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
They'll filter themselves we should leave the
drama aside.
The competition shows withinyour skills, not you know within
.
Oh that's just that's what itis.
Let's hate each other for it.

married 15 years or less exit,and eventually it's just the
bride and the groom and some oldcouple that's been married for
66 years man, usually theirgrandparents.
Yeah, and it's an amazing thing,because you can actually see
that that's a possibility thatmy marriage could go 63 years.
Yeah, these peoples did.
Not only do I know that they,but because I'm the only two

(40:01):
left on the floor, that's whoI'm going for advice for I get
married I'm going to the peoplethat've been married 66 years
and that's the cherry on top.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
That's what I do.
I have that couple, get them, Igive them the mic and let them
give them some advice, rightthere they're on the spot.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh wow, see, that's an even better addition.
I'm going to steal that brother.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Yeah, no, you got to, yeah yeah yeah, but even now,
when you know you have thatcouple.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
You leave the married couple on there and then let
them don't, don't excuse.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
They're, they're excluded, they're, they're
excluded.
Married couple is excluded.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
I'm talking about that old school couple.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Yeah, and, and and they already know that when you
have a meeting, they alreadyknow who's going to be out there
, cause we already planned this.
They they chose a song thatthey want for the anniversary
dance and we let, and then Itell them get them a gift.
You know what I mean, whetherit's a card, a gift card that I
drink and give them a bottle ofwine, whatever it is, and then,
yeah, and then at the end yougive them the mic and then have
them give them advice.

(40:54):
You know how'd you stay married63 years, or whatever?

Speaker 1 (40:57):
yeah, wow, what's the best advice you?

Speaker 4 (40:58):

granddaughter right stealingthat man.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, yeah, I'll give you credit, hey, so I learned
this from my boy dj richie, rich, but I gotta do it.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
So here I learned that from a dj on youtube.
Yeah, exactly geeking out, youknow mc tips, yeah yeah but make
it personal having the notes.
Oh yeah, you know what I?

Speaker 5 (41:20):
mean while you're doing weddings yeah sometimes
you forget little things, butthe details, man, yeah, you
definitely, yeah, you definitelydo.
Next time, tells do matter.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
And then I also have an issue of miss and misses
Right.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Miss yeah, the singular versus the you know,
you know my pet peeve is makingsure you say wedding party, it's
not the bridal party, it's thewedding party.
The wedding party, weddingparty is both sides.
Bridal party is just the girls,bridal party is for the bride
and the groom party is the groom.
Yeah, but everybody says bridalparty.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
It's a wedding party.
It's the entirety of thewedding party.
It's the wedding party, andthen it branches down to the
groom and the bride.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Yeah, you never separate them, yeah groom bride
newlyweds.
I mean, sometimes you mighthave the groomsmen walk on one
side and the bridal party walkon the other side, right, and
that's how you would use thatterm.
At the end of the day, it'salways the wedding party.

Speaker 1 (42:06):

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Hey, so if we all got together and we wanted to
create the uh, the dopestsoundtrack, the dopest
soundtrack, and we got to goaround this room and we got to
pick a track that has to be onthis most dope soundtrack, I'm

(59:50):
going to start and I'm going togo with Mac Dre.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
I would have but not everybody's on the Mac Miller.
We all would have thought thatone Easy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Yeah, I know, man, I know my answer Planet Rock,
planet Rock, it's got to beNipsey.
You got to have what's youranswer Planet Rock.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Planet Rock, so so so that is classic.
It's got to be Nipsey.
You got to have some kind ofNipsey on there Do you, I think,
for me, I'm just saying I thinkfor me it would be like the Gap
Band, bro, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Some funk.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Yeah, but their catalog is deep though everybody
samples funk, yeah, guy bandand Rick James.
You know they're probably mytop two.
Alright, yeah, that's classic.
Go to alright and I love oldschool period.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Who's yours man for?

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
me that brought me back back into the real hip hop
underground scene too was Zionand I and the Grouch Silly Putty
okay.
I remember that, thatfuturistic sound when Ampli was
bringing it.
A lot of people don't even knowthe producer Ampli.
But beyond that, that's anothergreat DJ too.
Back in the day, that was early2000s, right when the

(01:00:57):
underground scene was barelyblowing up.
You're talking abouthieroglyphics out there.
There's so many that could goon that.
I remember working out inSacramento with the homies and
they inspired me hey, listen tothis.
And it sparked that point.
I was like yo, what is this?
I need to be in that scene, Iwant that, I want to hear it, I

(01:01:17):
want more.
It wasn't just the mainstreampart, it was the underground
part, because that means therewas a different part of the
world, of what hip hop was inthe underground world.
Because that's where the heartwas yeah that's what real
hip-hop is about.
So when it brought you back tothat era of because then, when

(01:01:38):
the 2000 came out, it was moreabout money cars oh, it was the
mainstream part yeah it wasn'thow hip-hop used to be in the
beginning and then when the air,that's when the underground was
growing up big, you know, andit just kept me inspired from
there and that's also anotherinspiration for me that kept me
going, because you still gottahave love for music.
Sometimes it dies down with thegeneration because of what it's

(01:02:00):
speaking.
Sometimes it's not even doingit right, like look what we're
listening now.
Most of it's ratchet stuff thatwe had to play sexy red.
I'm trying to list that into myfucking car.
I'm sorry, but but you'replaying it at santi's, though we
have to play that shit, but I'mnot bumping that shit in my
home or you know, that's not meI'm sorry, I'm listening to

(01:02:20):
something otherwise, so it'sjust different now.
But yeah that's what I grew upon too dose round two man.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Who's your next one up as?

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
far as what?

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):

I think I had like five.
I mean, that's everything.
That's Connors, chewy's EagleMountain.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):

Speaker 5 (01:12:01):
That's work I do want to get a new Pioneer and go to

Speaker 4 (01:12:07):
I even got the new RCFs, the RCFs, those J8s, the
Evox.
Oh man, the tops and the bottomtogether, the top stores in the
subwoofer and the whole thingweighs 52 pounds.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
It weighs less than my subs man 52 pounds.

Speaker 5 (01:12:19):
I'm talking about a backsaver and space saver, and
they're loud.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
RCF.
Okay, gotcha, but that specificmodel is cheaper than a lot of
them because they're anexpensive brand.
But that one right there, man,if you got a sub already, take
another sub with you.
And those two little 12s withthe little tops, man you're good
, you're good, you're good,that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
We're going to close it up here in a minute.
We're a buck 12 in.
We're an hour 12 in.
So we'll close it up in aminute, we won't keep it too
long.
Um, mental health, mentalhealth.
I know it's a stigma, I knowpeople don't talk about it.
I, I have issues with it.
I do the best I can.
Um, and music obviously issomething that has gotten a lot
of people through a lot ofdifferent things.

(01:13:01):
Uh, for me it goes all the wayback to like uh, tupac e40.
You know, dear mama, and youknow what's the e40 song, where
he got kicked out of his house.
Yeah, it's just way it is I knowwhat song you're talking about
when you say it.
Yeah, um, and then obviouslygoing into mac miller and uh,
even kid cuddy.

(01:13:21):
You know some of those, some ofthose artists, pharaoh munch,
pharaoh munch oh, yeah, yeahyeah, so all of them have gotten
me through quite a bit of shitin life.
Who's your guys's go-to's?

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
uh for me, for me, like it, for me, like, uh it was
, it was a lot of nipsey.
Whenever I'm in the gym, like Ijust play a lot of nipsey and
if you, if you listen to hismusic, like he's from the
streets and he has his streets,his street topics, you know what
I mean.
But but he also has a lot ofmotivation and inspirational
stuff with a positive messagethat'll help you push through,

(01:13:57):
you know, to get you whateveryou're going through.
So, like for me, like when I'min the gym, that's what I I tend
to focus on.
So it's a form of meditationwhen I'm in the gym, and it's
the same when I'm on, when I'min the turntables, like
practicing.
Again, it's a form ofmeditation when I got to
practice and focus, likewhatever is on my mind.
That's bothering me.
I won't be able to.
It'll be probably still on mymind, but I'll notice that I'm

(01:14:22):
not hitting this.
I got to pay attention to whatI'm doing.
Hit that line or pay attentionto the video I'm watching to
practice with doing.
Hit that line or pay attentionto the video I'm watching it to
practice with, and if I don't,then I'm not.
I'm, I'm not, I'm not gettingit done.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
So that's, that's my form of meditation, right there
how about you guys, man, who'sartists that you've gone to
through hard times, didn'tlisten to a a track 20 times in
a row?

Speaker 5 (01:14:44):
I couldn't say, because I listen to everybody,
even be like an artist.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
I it's just the mood.
Whether you want to feel, youknow what I mean, Like back in
the day, you know, listening tosome oldies, right oh?

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
Or if you want to mix it up and like learn your craft
a little bit more, you knowwhat I mean.
So that's it for a meditation.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
So you're talking about transporting yourself to a
different era in your life.
It might have been betterprobably that childhood era
because even I used to listen to.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):

driveway at your grandparentshouse.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
