Thank you so much for tuning in. Welcome back to

I'm your humble host Santos, a solo music artist who's

Words are so important to me, and that's why I'm

Speaker 1 (01:13):
And now welcome this week's special guest.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Welcome to the show. Rude Kid, how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I am Flying Surrners the boss is it? You know?
It's real Kid, the reggae rapp inventor hanging with Surrenters.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, thank you for being on tonight. Man, I'm excited
to talk to you. Tell us a little bit about
when you get started down this crazy world of making music.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
It was seven years old.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
I was walking up my arm Street in Jamaica, Kingston
Mountain View, and you know the first thought that came
to my mind was about my surrounding. I was like them, no,
no clue, the wiked that's on them come from mount
of View. Basically, I was just saying, the baddest men
men comes from my community.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
So that's my first song right there. A seven years old.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Okay, And tell us a little bit about how you
evolved from that, when you went to high school and beyond.
Tell us a little bit about your musical journey.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, So you know I went to Kingston
College in Jamaica. Shabah Rangs brought me on stage during
the Kingston College Mayfair. You know my friends, I played
soccer with the Kingston College team. They're like, yo, shaba,
bring bring on, Bring on Denton, And you know I
performed with him. Came to America. You know, I have
that first Prince of Belaire story. Got in one of

(02:29):
the fight and my mom got scared, so she sent
me to America. I went to Theodore Roosevelt. I did
all the talent shows. You know, I won some of
the talent shows. You know, I did the major homecomings.
And then you know, at sixteen, I recorded my first
two singles, which one and I'm also if you ever
di root Kid for my record label called Worm Record Label. Unfortunately,

(02:51):
my song wasn't released, so for the next two to
three years, I performed a lot of promo concerts. Opened
up for Shaggy, open up a Bone te Killer, open
up for a lot of major dance, old reggae artists
and hip hop artists like Redman, Foxy Brown, Nas, and
then finally Manchild Entertainment released my first single at nineteen
called Ain't No Stopping, which was on the Hypnotized Rhythm

(03:13):
authorized by p Diddy from Bad Boy Records. They wanted
to sign me the Bad Boy Records, but Diddy and Biggie,
they said, let's demo, let's demo whim for Let's do
a demonstration first. So we dropped like five hundred tapes
in DC, Maryland and Virginia. So that's that's how I
evolved from just walking up the street to you know,
finally got a single release in DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's a cool story, man, I'm glad to hear that.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
You know.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Of course I didn't hear anything after you said Shaggy
because Shaggy is one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Dude, right right right, you know, you know, I got
a cool story about Shaggy. Also, Shaggy said, you know,
the first time he went on tour, Backstreet Boys opened
up for Shaggy, but a year later he ended up
opening up for Backstreet Boys. So you know, you never
could tell who's going to be the mega superstar.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
You never can tell in this business. Man, You're so right,
and things can flip and a heartbeat.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yes, for sure, for sure, for sure. So I stay
on my craft on a daily basis. Matter of fact,
in seven days, I wrote like one hundred songs. Well,
I created one hundred songs. I wrote twenty of them
so far. But I created one hundred songs in seven days,
so I stay on top of the craft man fresh
new music every day.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, that's awesome. Tell us a little bit about your
songwriting process.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Well, initially, you know, I used to follow like you know,
the major X, influenced by like Chabaans, you know, being
a man in bone to killer like you know, you
know Chabaans used to say, missed the love them on
them come and missed the love them And I used
to writing, yeah, miss the maritime. But then I veered
off from that and started doing nothing but original songwriter

(04:48):
and I write to the instrumental the process that that
gives me original original song concept, like how we roll?
You know, the the breeze in the background brought brought
me that Caribbean field. So I said, oh we roll
risk and freeze. And then bomb dot com I walked,
I was, I was. I was driving around in my
expedition back then, I had the expedition and I kept

(05:09):
listening to the instrumental, listening to the instrumental, and then
finally I said, bomb dot com here, Bomb dot com here,
Gauaya Miguel Kayada, Bomb dot com and then a lot
of times I'm listening to you know, mixtapes and things
of that nature, and then I just get inspired to
create a song.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
But you know, for a lot of time.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
It's the instrumentals, and I'm also yeah, also also also
also also.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
When I'm inspired by the mixtapes.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
And one more thing, I also do what during the
songwriting process, I use the composition, the composition status you
know where you know where you have the head and
you have the body and you have the conclusion. So
I kind of write my three verses three to four
verses similar to that. Sometime I do nine verses, but
for the most part, I do three to four verses.
Why when I'm writing writing songs.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Okay, tell us about a typical week for you right now,
my you know, as I have twenty twenty four I know,
I have a music schedule and a business schedule.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Anywhere from between nine to five or five to five
to twelve pm, you.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Know, I you know, I I.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I go to I go to I go to the
library sometimes you know, you know, or I'm on the
computer sending out emails. I'm following up with my clients
because you know, I'm a three time young entrepreneur a year. Also,
so I do own a small business conglomerate. I send
out a lot of emails to the clients, a lot
of emails to the prospects, follow up with all my
my prospects, and then on night times, I'm generally writing

(06:33):
songs or I'm studying philosophy. And then on the weekends,
I'm back in the studio chilling with my girl, or
I'm performing on the weekends. I'm performing on the weekends.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Okay, cool. Do you have any advantages musically that you
think no one else does?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yes, I think I have. You know, I I know
the reggae app. That's and I invented reggae app. That's
that's one of my advantage. Secondly, my advantage is the
media from coming from the core the corporate society, corporate world.
You know. You know, I've been featured on a lot
of major corporate media so far as CNN, Inc. Magazine,
in Wall Street, Wall Street Journal, you know, and just

(07:10):
to host the other corporate media. I think, you know,
I've been featured in over one hundred and fifty six
platform I think that that that's the advantage.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
And then I write a lot of songs.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
You know, I think probably only the only artists in
the in the dancehall industry that writes similar to me
as much songs as I do is Vibes Cartel, which
is the people's king of dance all. You know, That's
the only only other artists you might find that write
seven songs in one day. So you know, you know,
I think I think that's my advantage also, you know,
so and I could also do original dance al reggae.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Plus I have my own genre, REGGAEBTM.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
So yeah, I got I got got that over a
lot of folks, you know, And I've sold and in
the music industry, I've also sold music, which that's what
a lot of dance al reggae artists want to do,
is sell records. I've already you know, sold like five
hundred thousandes on Ink magazine, on the Ink Magazine video,
or over one hundred thousand copies in Paris, friends, and

(08:07):
this one is verbally confirmed. I didn't receive a plaque
for it, but we saw like over a million copy
in Asia Canada for a song called war Home, you know,
with Frash and all of them. So yeah, I think
I think that's my advantage.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
How do you decide if you're going to release a
song to the world or if you're going to just
kill it in the studio?

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Oh wow?

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Well, first off, first off, serrentals before I go into
the studio. You know, the song that I'm getting ready
to record in the studio is always is always a
hit song. I never I never going to the going
to the studio without without without without approving first that
that song is going to be released. So once I
hit the studio, you know, because it's because of budget reasons,

(08:48):
Once I hit the studio, that song is going to
be released. So it's really at home. It's really in
the rough drive process where I decide whether whether or
not I'm going to make this song a hit song
or I'm not gonna or I'm not going to record
this or I'm not going to write this song.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Tell us about this song that we're going to hear
in a few minutes. What inspired it?

Speaker 4 (09:07):
This song was inspired by the drum line. I don't
know if I'm you ever watched that Nick Cannon show
called drum Line.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
When I Got, When I Got, When I Got The.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
Instrumental it was from my producer Smitty from Root and
Entertainment label group. And what I expected was something like
in the club like fifty cents go short, it's your birthday.
But when I got it, it was like different when
I when I when I looked at it, I saw
I saw, I saw arena potential. I saw stadiums being
sold out. I saw everybody jumping up and down to

(09:39):
the to the to the instrumental. So that's you know,
that's how that's how I wrote the song, and the
song concept is telling people about my my sexual philosophy.
And you know, in a in a climatic in a
climatic flow, in a in a climatic flow, if you
notice right before I go into the chorus, each time
before I go into the chorus, it's like it's it's

(09:59):
a build up, is like you know, when we're better rot,
when we're better rock, when we're better rock, when we're
better in Foremost Escobar Junior I heard. So it's like
a build up each time before I go into the chorus.
So it's a climatic flow. And it's my second you know,
my thoughts on my sexual philosopher and the nicknames, the
many nicknames that I've I've garnered or or I have

(10:20):
achieved over the years. You know, they call me Escobar
Junior because of my uncle, you know, young cinzero just
because my philosopher, my philosophical ways, and you know Ruth
Kill the regular app in Venna as a dance or
artist that invented regular apps. So you know that that's
what's inside of the chorus.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I'll tell you what, dude. Let's take a listen and
we'll come back and talk a little more.

I you know, you know, my girl as a as
a son that plays tennis, and you know, sometime I
go go to the practice and I look at the
tennis and like Oh well, I think I could do that. Also,
you know, once I once, once my mind grasp it,
I could make it happen. You know, you know, you know,

(16:47):
education is the key.

nothing that I can accomplish without, you know, without you know,
the support of my family, my friends, people like you Serranus.

And I'm also got you.

Speaker 8 (17:10):

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Okay, So I've been to Jamaica once, But if I
come back to Jamaica, what's the one place I have
to go visit?

Speaker 4 (17:59):
You definitely got to visit Aucherius Dune River falls in Jamaica.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
So I went Toios and I'm trying to remember there
was a waterfall thing I visited that I thought it
was awesome. I don't know if if that's what it
was called.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, it was very cool, right did they did they
let you climb the rocks? Did they let you climb
the rocks?

Speaker 6 (18:17):
They did?

Speaker 3 (18:18):
But it wasn't like a super high waterfall thing. So
I'm not sure if it's exactly the one you're talking about.
I assume what you're talking about is a bigger waterfall.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Right right, right?

Speaker 4 (18:29):
I mean how high was it because it's you know,
it's a little bit highlight the mountain?

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Was it highlight the mountain? Like similar? Not as high
as the mountain?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
No? No, this was a couple hundred feet No, No,
I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
It wasn't like that high right right right?
