used to like skateboard professionally and they are.

used to play like a lot of Daft Punk.
When I was A kid, and a lot of like faithless and just all
these like, interesting soundingthings and then, my brother was
into hip-hop, but like he loved Lincoln Park.
So, when I used to, like when used to play that, it would be,
it'll sound like rock, but it's hip hop.
And it's like just like mashed up like differently with all
these like stop-start parts and I was just like, you know, what

(16:23):
is this? And then I sort of got into it
that way but I wasn't creating at that time was just like
obviously the prize or soaking it all in and stuff.
And and they like later on, I Even when I started making
music, it wasn't, I wasn't making electronic music.

All of them, the rapper, all of them.
So how do we Transit now from hip-hop?
Yeah. So like did was I sounding
between, or did you just straight?
Did you guys like Brown went more sa sounds?
I think I think, like the way asI was even approaching it at the

(21:04):
time, I wanted to be different from the other guys that were
making hip hop beats. So like and then because of
that, I was trying to like put in like like the electronic in
the sample and the other things,and not necessarily is sampling
and but like more so just like being like, Oh I heard that cool
like break on like house track. And then let me try to put that

(21:25):
into a hip hop song. Sorry, just to try because I was
doing it for my brother's because they were like grabbing
okay. Oh yeah.
If I fucking make them sound, like just like a bit cooler
with, like, changing the beat here and then making a
difference. So only, I was always
approaching it in a different way and then, Then.
And then I realized that since Iwas m.c. no bars that like my
Paws with trash because like those like I had a friend who

(21:49):
was like really good and I was like, you know what, let me
focus on making the beats and just let him like shine as I and
let me see. And so I started focusing more
on just like production and thenthat goes on for a while like we
start a few groups I could performing and stuff but I was
never like confident enough to like Beyond the mic myself,

(22:12):
like, you like my singing and stuff, I'd always like, write
songs and be like, oh yeah, using this Royal name of the
group. So you're in.
I was, I was in a group called witness the funk witness before
monk. Yeah, we're like, we sway, like,
like different colored laces. And I know that sounds pretty,
you know, you don't like when Lily came through, like, the
skinny jeans, but now, there's astore.

(22:33):
There was a thought that we'd ever talked about it but like,
those are stored. Called JJ's in South Africa and
these are like all these different colored jeans and
stuff. So guys were killed.
We used to do these, do all of that and then I sort of like
stop that and liked any way. Did you guys perform by the way

(22:54):

late. I was like 18 or performing like

University. You're ready for the, you New
York. We don't we don't get you a New
York College, will get your New York ID.
Yeah, well, with all its doing that.
Like like like talent shows and stuff and and then I liked like

(23:18):
an didn't feel right for me anymore.
Like this whole like hip-hop thing cause I was, I wanted to
make like electronic music and house music and stuff.
So I left the group and I just like started trying to go into
that part and yeah, and then I made like a year later a year
later dropped out of school. So that's like another thing.

(23:38):
But like I already forgot. I left school early.
Like what's the speech? I look at them with the
superhero. I did you tell them.
You had The Bravery to say that.I was like, don't do it.
Don't do it. I was about to say no, no, no,

did that start as it was at a manager or your crude?
I put you on. How did you get?
Yeah it was, it was just like uslike going to, I guess, I guess
do promoters but we didn't know that's what they were.
At the time it was just like theperson that's putting up there,
the talent show at school, and we'd just try to get a slots and
like try to perform that way andthen when I started working,

(38:27):
when I go off to school like when I started like working with
joy and then we started like doing it like professionally.
So I also John Shaughnessy John Big John, you know.
Yeah. So it's like it's like Did like
being but then at the time even when I was doing that, I was

(38:48):
DJing because because it was like because I remember I wanted
to make beats and then I figuredout that like I could perform my
beads by DJing. So it's like growing started.
Like just like it was a way of me empowering myself really and
so that went on for a while until oh yeah until I was

(39:09):
playing this gig right and like they cut my set to like five
minutes, that's the worst. It's the worst thing in the
world and backwards the whole plan but it builds character.
It builds character that when you, when your dad when you
have, it's been a tap in the mirror you DJing somewhere, you
know, if I don't my friends, everybody's excited to see you.
Yeah, you thinking yourself going to go from at least 45

Is it easy? But either way, we have Jesus a
so, you know, we pray and you always protect those cover.

(41:20):
Tom works, 100%. I don't I don't I don't partake
in the the, that sort of energy anymore that would make anyone
go in that direction the Moose handle.
No, no, I like to wrap that shit.
I just know people that you know, are comfortable.
If they ever had to go that direction, you must have done
something really, really bad, really bad.
Like like you got engaged to someone and then stood them up

(41:42):
and then like got jacked up. Yeah.
Okay. You see I've ever watched that
movie. Khaidi boner.
No. So good South after movie.
I forgot the actress's name but basically they would you watch
it? And I say no I watched it here.
It's on Netflix. Like I normally do I thought you
were doing a Netflix and chill. No no no.
I mean it wasn't probably says It wasn't necessarily need took

(42:05):
a drive from Port, Elizabeth get, right?
There's only so much. You do first.

Like you know, romantic the truth is Natasha Tehani.

No. Never.
Oh I didn't set it like a month.I sound like a multi promise for
a second. It's not you sleep off.
That's hilarious. All right.
Back to the DJ. She said short yeah the cutter
said sure. Yeah.
And then I was like and I only have enough time for one song.

(43:12):
So I like I remember like a plate like this like remix that
I had and then I teach it and like my song and then I was
like, let me just take the mic and performance because I was
already like singing on it on record and that started me doing
the whole like DJ performing like nothing so it actually He
liked it actually helped me. Choose a common response.

(43:34):
Like he would say things and youwould have the crew.
Yeah. So so so I did not and I don't
do it man and I just performed the song but it was like more
because I was like, man, people are not even gonna see me come
in the stock low like corn on the side like some supposed to
DJ for five minutes, it's going to sound like background music.
So I was like, let me just like take the cues this opportunity

(43:56):
and then started teaching and Performing then.
So it is like like the, the sir Relation of it has been organic.
I've been like pushed into thesespaces where I needed to like
Empower myself and then yeah. Now I'm just like doing that.
No, I know and obviously we're doing that.
You've gotten a lot of recognition.

(44:17):
You ran love from artists outside of sa and say, what was
reaction? Like, when you get a member of
Coldplay? Like, yeah, this, this boy is
bad. Like, what was that like?
Well like again, N-now is crazy.Also, because I was playing, I

(44:38):
was billed as a, as DJ not Funk of a fun Paris, but like, the
way it was like, the, the, the DJ, like setup was like, like,
in front of me, like this, but behind me was the stage, but the
stage had that curtains because I think I think, when I was
playing off do something, but like those a bit of like,

(44:58):
there's a gap there. I was like, you know what, I'm
gonna just jump. They perform at songs come back
and DJ. So I was doing that so I still
like doing my sort of DJ performance thing but but like I
had to just climb up onto the stage every time job back doubt.
It was you know, it was just like crazy, you know, but in me
doing that I didn't know that like Chris Martin wasn't was in

(45:22):
the Crowd gasps. Oh, so I was just like, you
know, I'm gonna I'm in Paris like I'm going to make sure that
yes, they see what I do is and word in Paris.
How much you're my brother's fault exact word in Paris.
Hey, hey, hey, I was doing that and

(46:02):
When I finished performing like he was waiting for me, like
backstage. Oh, nosedive.
Kyo. Like that's one of the best
things I've ever seen. That's right.
And then he was like to have an album coming out and don't want
to like, do a remix and work on that.
That's amazing. I know that would.
Yes. So if you did it.
Yeah. So so John and I are like on our
way back home. You like crazy.

(46:23):
It's crazy. But it's time we get home.
Get home till like a hotel like he had already sent the email.
Wow, that's amazing. That's a Snappy actually.
Ain't it, you know? And like just from that point on
his been like, super supportive man, that's awesome.
How did you meet storm? Z Stones e Nando's who had

(46:43):
started doing a music program tobecause they had like a lot of
restaurants in the UK. Shoutouts to Nando's the UK
Nando's don't bang as hard as the essay Nando's but we're not
going to go there. It's fine.
The only so I say nana petty, petty does not ban guys.
It's not it's not it's not as hot.
It's not as xoc right now. So see, we're okay, but it still

(47:04):
fires, so fine. But like it's like when you go
to guys like when you think KFC here but he go to Jamaica and
it's like wow, why don't we haveKFC?
Like this is it's like feel the pain.
They changed it slightly for like the sort of pellet of like,
where they are in mass production.
We've talked about this before, but when you eat chicken in
Nigeria, you can feel the journey that the chicken went

(47:26):
you. Alright, you can taste the
character, the With the termination shock of that
chicken. All the way suck.
Yes, although it's good.

(48:02):
Was good. I'm not gonna fight.
Wow, this is good. I'm impressed and I'm impressed.
I'm exactly, thank you, thank you.
I want to give a bit so I don't I don't know how you do it this
all the time. Hey, I don't know how to do with
myself. That sounds.
All right. Yeah, please.
We're gonna move on cause you'regonna take this before.
So yes Nando's. So, yeah.
So they wanted to. So a lot of I guess, they

(48:24):
customers in the UK thought thatNando's was put your keys,
right? Yes, but not as is that African
correct? So they It's sort of like stop
making that connect so that people could like know that it's
a South African brand and they figured like the best way to do
that would be through music. So they started a Music Exchange
program and stones and I would like the guinea pigs of it.

(48:44):
So did you get over Nando's though?
SoundCloud like that? Like like I think a friend of
ours is like your Nana's. Don't start this music program
and like just send them your music and stuff and then and
then we sent it to them and they're like, okay, cool.
Let's do it. It was very like easygoing like
And yeah, so that's so I was, I was, I went to the UK and then I

(49:09):
brought Stone Z back to so that's awesome.
So does that's how I made him. That's really cool.
So, how much time I got? But even with the Nando's thing
with the Portuguese stuff, but are the two Founders, want to
get Portuguese, but both of themare African.
But I think that they put your keys with the constant like they
lineage. Yes, I try to of Portuguese,
descent. Yeah.

(49:29):
What I remember reading about the founders, they Both worked
at like an advertising company together, hated it quit.
And then we're like they used toget lunch when they worked at an
advertising company. Yeah, at this Portuguese spot.
Yeah, but it was poorly run I guess it was going out of
business so they decided to quittheir jobs at the advertising
company and by that restaurant that they used to be at lunch at
and then the expanded and me different locations and call

(49:51):
this thought it would like one that literally one stall and
then they now it just ate a bunch of crazy.
So they did that because like they very big would like Todd.
Just like supporting artists in that way.
So so and that's how I like stones in.
I got to me groans awesome and London like it is, it is it is

(50:11):
amazing. It doesn't look like it was felt
very fast because it was like, Idon't know like Landon it's big,
everything is moving everything is loud and remember we're in
London. You are like wow Camden.
Okay Camden Town. Yeah like but it was it was it
was a really like dope experience.
I got to I guess. Stand.

(50:32):
Like what crime was? Because I just thought it was.
I just thought everything was UKrap but like stones.
He like broke it down? Yeah and and when, when it was
time for him to come to South Africa, like usually when people
go to South Africa, like you go to like the big cities.
So you either choose to go to Cape Town or turbine or joburg.
But I was like, everyone comes and does that like so I wanted

(50:55):
to actually take them back home like to like see where I'm from.
And so I took him back to him byGuinea.
And that was interesting, you know, like to come to turbine
and he got to experience. Funniest part was when cousin
turbine, like we have, like these Mini Bus.
We could call them taxis and they play like, oh, I'm like

(51:15):
really? Yeah.
Like in the taxi. It's like a, it's like a club
of. Yeah, it's like a club and
that's how that's how the Songs and stuff.

(52:01):
So loud culture shock front of, you know, so like so like that
was that was that was good and that's how that came out.
So awesome awesome thing where Ijust hope I can't even like just
do your music out there. Next thing, you know you kicking
it with storms and strong so it is it is but my life has been
like that it's like it's never it's never been like regular

(52:24):
yeah or super plan but like whensomething happens it just
happens and it's like this huge thing and perfect segue.
I was going to ask you what was the first part?
That you put out the major if you like, yo, like, it's
happening here. Oh, haven't I did wasn't.
I think it wasn't, it wasn't, itwasn't.
It wasn't a project. At first, we I did this.

(52:46):
I did this thing where I came upwith, like, like an alias, who
am I, because for myself and I was like, yo, if I make this
type of, if I make a remix of myown song, I know that this like
remix will hit back at home because I had sort of like
studied the sort of like the market.
It's like if you make them a piano remix right now and you

(53:09):
make really good like it's probably gonna hit back at home
at the time. What was big was like Like house
music. So when that happened, and it
was like, 50, most played songs like in the country at the time,
I'm like, oh, but no one, no oneknew.
It was me because I came with, like, I'm gonna double back,
hold it like another name and I said it was remixed by someone
else, but it was me. And so that was like the first

(53:30):
time when I was like, oh man, like something's actually
connect with your was that this is 22news 2017.
Awesome 2017. And then 2018 are dropped.
An album called a vision and that was like I remember because
I was working at a streaming company at that time.

(53:53):
Oh and I remember listening to aprovision and going.
Wow, these records are interesting because at that time
I mean I was familiar with like something so wait.
Oh yeah. Kabsa Just like a lot of the
artists that were making like, what is now?
I'm a piano like yeah, I'm a piano.
Obviously was was that, but people aren't calling it that
necessary. Because so ever, I was so

(54:13):
focused on poem. Yeah, that is like, still the
sort of mid-tempo House are, does that time with sunup
Sundown musician in them so, I know.
Yeah. So so, so when that happened, it
was just like, hmm. Okay, you know, so that was the
moment for me was like oh, something is happening?
Hmm because before that, it has just been like Ben, I've been

(54:35):
doing a lot of like ads, I'd been like touring a lot but it
wasn't. I wasn't really showing myself

Thank you. It was it was, it was long but
it was fighting. Yeah, and there's no, like
normally when there's one tracks, when it's more than like
14 15 songs. Yeah.
Obviously your great, your braingoes.

(01:03:13):
My brain is like, yeah, like, I'm the same, but I had to, you
know, like it's like it's like, the I had to make an album like
that. Like it's probably going to be
the only probably gonna be like,my longest album, but it's like
the idea of that albums are deadand I was just like, as an
artist, I need to have what you seek.
That's why I'm saying you see Coast it well and I think in

(01:03:34):
this age I think that's a lot ofartists make music for like the
dsps and it's quick, and it's meant to just be like, quickly
die Jack. A lot of, it's like a
compilations. They shouldn't like, boom, it's
out versus telling a story. Yeah, everything is flowing and
and you switch up the tempos. Yeah, enough words like a felt
like, okay, every five tracks isa different EP.
Yeah. And that's what I loved about.

(01:03:56):
Yeah. Thank you, man.
Thank you. Yes.
Why is that? Well the man is talented.
Very much. So it is what it is.
So how is time in America been? Because I obviously you're
checking out different cities and state.
What do you groans been? It's been like, it's been
interesting man has been very like eye-opening.

(01:04:16):
Also, just like learning, I guess the brand of America
versus what America actually is your first time here.
It's my first time actually experiencing it as a
transamerican, got it. No trans New Yorker.
I go into your others. He's like yeah.
So like select going into an actually like seeing like the

(01:04:37):
people and not and not just having like more so like a
curated experience but actually like seeing the place, what it
is. So that's been like, super
interesting. More of what did you would have?
Like not like food either food? I not even.
Sorry, guys. Hey, he said, there's not
enough, there's not enough, I'm sorry.
You like spicy. Your food is that I just like, I

(01:04:57):
just, I just like, Flavor it does.
Have you been okay? Because we're food people?
Yeah, one day we're going to open up restaurants like, you
know, be fire. But instead of Fernando's
Nando's we're going to call it something that's more.
Like hey welcome to Buble. That's why I hate it.

(01:05:33):
That's why and hate it. You're, I told us, I think La
doesn't have an African food to La is so like it's where you go
to me, pretentious people. And it's Jackie.
Fight is gentrified African food.
Oh yeah, food. Okay.
Okay. If you might, I don't know
about. I don't know about people
because I didn't stay that long enough.
But that's what I make of feels like they could feel the makeup
feel like it's great. Danger of my, we gotta take mu Z

(01:05:56):
to. It feels like gentrified food
like the whole thing like like how long your bagel is
dangerous. Because everything is
gluten-free and vegan. It's a everything is but it's
like a kados. You get that unlike Ultra vegan
and then you get like fast food.It's a know like in between,
there's no like, but I think about who's eating both the

(01:06:17):
people that even fast food, don't give a shit about their
health and people that are eating, the healthy stuff are
too pretentious to actually like, but the healthy stuff
doesn't like. It's not like it wasn't fridge.
It's stuck. It wasn't refresh.
There are certain places you go and you get really fresh fit,
okay? Like you go to member, Arms.
I'm not gonna, let me wait, was that?
It's there's a few of them. They're all kind of chain of
like healthy all. It's not fast food but it's

(01:06:39):
healthy. You can like, pick and go.
Yeah, could also sit down and eat there.
Then there's like lemonade, which is like fast food healthy.
Okay. Cleaner food.
There's a, there's a list. I mean, they just might miss a
lot, sometimes they're like, notas flavorful.

We'll make that happen after Sunday being with her.
So I gotta ask the brand of Farsi question.
Yeah, Linda Allah, did I do it right?
Because they all say, yes, I didit.
Laughs. I grew up thinking that was the
greatest song ever. Like, I love Brenda Fossett.
So that song how big is like is Brenna Frosty like growing up

(01:12:53):
like is it? Nothing the whole country knows
our part of the country like howbig is Jennifer as the huge like
cuz she like Nigeria I love love.
Brenda like right now if I see you like she's more than Mary
McKibben super superstar like but like mermaids, like a bit
like before so it's another another Generation by the time

(01:13:14):
Brenda comes through, Mary misery is like a legend that
she's already on that long ago. Really like she's not even a
cardi B, no, no more like more like Lil Kim, cardi.
B. No, no, no gaps.
Yeah, like yeah, okay. Yeah, with errors with there is
definitely that but like, yeah, it was like, Brenda was just

(01:13:36):
like free man, like she's just like, like I was 30.
I know what I love like other West Africans.
Like when I play that song, everyone goes crazy.
Like everybody loves that song. Yeah.
And I'm just like how did this song like travel so?
Well without you know social media now and all these These
things that helped like, shook the version you're talking about
was actually the remix. So the version of the Nigerians,

(01:13:58):
like, the is the tronic agreement on the original
Nigerians. Our parents grew up listening to
the original. Yes, like, oh, cool.
And let the pot, the pot, the song know, I know which is
Armand. And then, the remix came out and
land blew it. I made to the early 2000s and
then we were just like, oh, I weoutside.
Oh yeah. No, no.
So the original was big and I injure to, but the remix we
weren't alive travel. We weren't alive.

(01:14:20):
I was, I was little, I was cleaning the house today.
You are not alive when Brenda fuzzy put out bullying.
No, I'm saying I was cleaning the house.
Original. I have the original first, okay.
You know, how is the Saturday morning and your parents are
playing music? Your parents, they would have
had the oh gee stop. No, they it was legit vinyl and
you have to you know vinyl you got to hear everything that's
not put my muscle. Yeah.

(01:14:41):
You put all the fish when you listen to vinyl they keep
chasing a chicken when you when you listen to vinyl scratch
little. Oh hmm.
Happy to leave me alone. Lee.
Okay. Know what is a loan?

(01:15:01):
What is this alone? Who is doing this show with me?
Okay, things have been. So, it's space.
Space alone. I'm all right, bro.
But yes, I just want to know howbig how big benefit as he was
because I'm still huge trust youthat song traveled through the
continent. Like not a lot of the songs
travel through the content because it's like everyone's

(01:15:22):
listening to their old thing. Like now it's like we have we
could set of genres big in the continent like when I'm a piano,
obviously still is. But then like last year, yeah,
Anna was defensa know, like leaving back back then.
Wasn't it dies, like what was dies?
I like what I'm seeing. I always wonder, but, like, how
they actually moved the music cause, like, it was, it was
parties, right? That would be playing fella and

(01:15:43):
playing all these like, psychedelic, like, 60, like 60s,
pans from, like, Xanax area, andZambia.
And, and it's like, the music used to travel somehow who's
moving it. Why don't knows radio back then.
So a lot of labels back then hadtheir relationships with their
at. You had to listen to the radio
to get the content or TV. So they did like American
Bandstand or whatever it was that was how Africans from what

(01:16:06):
I understand everybody for most part was getting their music and
also the bootleg Bible probably will call in your cassettes to
be CDs or stuff. But then I don't tell you still
gotta pick you. No I mean no no stop it.
The curators at the radio and the TV were the ones that pick
every time. Yeah we just took whatever they
picked and then there were some people that really like music
that we're going to record shopsor whatever.
And then hand-picked, yeah. The people don't go to come to

(01:16:26):
America like, get older, like, latest stuff, taking it back
home. I'm telling you, there's a lot
of times artists who gets burneda lot of huge artist on the
console, we get signed by British or American labels and
then yeah we'll come out and then it would come back to the
continent. Do like radio or TV.
So then the people if they were in the streets and it was hot in
the streets and they already hadit.
But if they didn't, I mean even within Nigeria.
Sorry I didn't I when he got signed to all the American

(01:16:49):
labels as when we were getting the Nigerians were like you know
what the fuck happened to the shit that we were listened to
before he got signed in America,they got it.
Last it was crazy. So he was in all these movies
and stuff for people in a Jak II.
What happened? Yeah and also those probably
like channels like All channels.So obviously you getting like
you're not watching out of here.Yeah until like MTV and BTW all

(01:17:11):
those networks had started and then the medium move from Radio
TV Killed the Radio and the internet killed the TV.
Sadly killed it says not dsps. Dsps are are I mean you have
radio on Spotify Apple music allthat stuff.
YouTube now so I love absolute love that song.
If Brenda fasi came out now if she was like a new oh my God, if

(01:17:32):
that would be, she'll be fired, but we even know bikes Would she
can't be lost in the sauce. You don't think it's Grammy
sound? It is.
But how there's so many people are Grammy sounds.
It's about cutting through the noise.
It's cause she would have to have like the right PR and have
I'm in piano feature, a little shop, Shasha or like Shoma Josie
or like one of these bike artist, the Joseph, and I

(01:17:55):
haven't heard from her. He's okay.
Yes. Working, you have you have, you
have fun some of your projects to?
Yeah. She's like, she's working on a
new album called nice. She's working.
It should be, it should be riding lesson.
Poison, you know, and you take some time to actually use like
create what you want to tell because a lot of times people
just like like Drake what? Oh yes I was gonna oh oh oh oh

(01:18:15):
oh he dropped ain't no. Oh Honestly, never mind.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.Wow, wow.
Yeah, let's go. Let's go ahead and bring this.

(01:18:36):
I couldn't help it. I've been holding my job for 24
hours. Trahana slate, never mind, you
time the world. I'll give you that.
That was good because I would have if I was that excited about
the junk out of work to do. If you're watching this, it's to
let it go. Let it go, okay?
I will. Top.
Thank me later. So, yes.

(01:18:58):
Have you heard the album has been out for a few hours?
Yeah. And obviously produce coffee
produced. A good amount of the songs.
What do you think of it? And what do you think of coffee
now work? Well, he's worked with drug
before. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do you think and working with Drake, and a bigger, you
know, I'm also think he's right,yes.

(01:19:23):
I think it's dope that like coffee is working at that level,
you know. Like I mean Jake is huge but so
it's coffee. Yeah.
He's I feel like, I don't know. I kind of how I feel about the
right, you can't. Yeah, we'll give you more time
to hear before you put it. Like that, that's how I feel

(01:19:46):
about the got you. I feel like, I feel like that.
What you just said about like time it was like that was the
only Like felt rushed, we felt worse.
Well, I get it because I like wewere saying, Beyonce is coming
soon. So it's either you drop big for
Beyonce or you wait a long time after Beyonce because Beyonce
you know is going to come with arollout.
Probably have visuals for a bunch of songs, you know, and

(01:20:08):
they cater to a similar crowd. Yeah.
So a lot of people are like, it makes sense to relax for either
drop it. Now, let the catcher's wave and
let people pick out songs. They like or wait a little bit
because, you know, people's attention span or not.
Well, I think I think that's true.
And also not true, you know, because like people watch live
podcast in like two hours. You know what I'm saying?

(01:20:30):
It's not. I don't think it's like an
attention span thing. More than it is just like making
fire is in file, is it not, you know, I think, I think like like
that, that whole, that whole like, attention span thing is
probably like, what the industrypushes out, because now you have
to make 15 seconds songs for take talk like, you know what

(01:20:51):
I'm saying? I don't think that like albums
are dead. I don't think songs are dead.
I don't think like that. People's attention span is any
lower. You know, I just, I do think
that maybe people like, move quickly from things, but I don't
think it has anything to do specifically with, like, people
being able to pay attention to something on.
So you don't think that there's a culture change.

(01:21:11):
Basically, you just feel like the industry makes people feel
that way. Yeah.
Because the it if everything is about first-week sales, not
here. You know what I'm saying.
So it's like, I think I don't But I don't know the internals
of it. I don't know like how like these
like cuz that was a surprise album said was, you know, so so
so maybe like for what it's supposed to do like this kind of

(01:21:32):
do that, like, I don't know, butI don't, I don't know if they
were like thinking, you know, you need to drop before or after
Beyonce. Oh no, it's just people have
been saying that and I wonder ifthat's yes I was doing it
because obviously Beyonce drops albums and people enjoy the full
body of work so they are. Yeah you know they are people
listening to albums are people listening Listen to the non

(01:21:53):
singles and enjoying that she's like she's like almost like
conditioned us to that she's an album artist curtain he heard
him saying he pulls out for ya so it's like full bodies of work
and stuff like that and like every Avatar fans are and her
friends are ready to pay attention.
It needs ya ready to drop whatever amount of money
tonight? Was that?
She saying those boxes and nobody knows what she's four or

(01:22:13):
five different kinds of box for your full boxes.
Yes. But she's done that.
She's done it, couldn't like consistently for so long that
like you always trust. We trust them.
Yeah, you know, true sure. That's a fan base.
You don't want to call this thing.
The man that just dropped the song.
We don't trust it as much anymore.
You told me. You told me to not say, okay.
Well, congrats Drake obviously dropping an album is not an easy

(01:22:36):
thing, regardless to get among the songs together and he won
the championship for his basketball thing.
I saw he posted it, so he's having a great week.
Yes. He clearly learned from his, the
mother of his child, how to speak a little French to this in
French on the album, okay. You know, So I'll I know.
But isn't that, isn't that chisel from?
Sorry, I chisel from South Africa?

(01:22:57):
Sorry, that's that speaking French.
Yeah. Oh sorry.
Oh never mind. He didn't like the tank right.
Well, he's Canadian. I'm sorry.
You know, some French you don't learn anything.
It's okay, ET. I'm sure he knows some French.
I listened to give him credit. Yeah, I have to.
So, what? I don't know before I give
feedback on albums, I like to like listen to it in different
settings and yeah, that hit show.
So I'm not in a rush. They care it multiple times.

(01:23:18):
I don't know why I think I know why.
Don't worry, they'll buy, they will be.
Don't worry. So you know it's like you're
looking for an experience from an album.
Yeah. I'm not looking like I'm not
excited about that. Like I would preview from
previous Drake albums like when Drake would drop in on me, like
I really want to hear what you got to say.
And I want whatever it is, you're saying to hit me and you

(01:23:38):
know enjoy but I'm not excited the last album then give me
that. No.
So I feel like I want to hear this and just take it for what
it is. Yeah, I might give it a couple
days because there's too much noise going on about the album
now. So Like people compare people
say this know, so I usually don't listen to happen to like
two three days till it's out andthen just in.
So you got like you can. Yeah.

(01:23:59):
Thank you for where it is because I'm on social media more
than I should be anyway. So I know like opinions are
going to hit me so hard. Yeah.
What I appreciate your views from the 6 but I know that
there's going to be a season going to be a season where you
come back so bad. Like you listen to the album in
full and you know I'm sure there'll be more life.
There you go. Shopping you go, there you go.

(01:24:20):
Talking about more life. All right.
Now is album is coming. Do you know about the more life?
Drake Bradley things? Yeah, no.
Oh my. Geez voice.
I have this whole thing, it's a theory.
Okay, little Theory, right? So like how I met your mother
but not hi. I'm gonna so, you know, I'm

(01:24:42):
gonna move on. It's a theory, right?
So there's a song Georgia has onmore life, I think is one with
coffee as well. What's the name of the song?
What's the name is olds years old?
I don't remember, I'ma get it. I got you because I have a
folder of all the same. You have a full of game theory.
Yes, I didn't realize, you know,this is this is a serious.

(01:25:04):
This is real scripted. Okay, I love telling everybody
that's because I'm crazy, so it's no Sultan Netflix, the
story, right? So, Tyga.
So get it. Together.
The song. Right?
Starts off, beautiful, big, beautiful, green eyes.
So, now we're going to skip to the end.

(01:25:41):
So now Bernie's intro Right.
Okay boom. So burning signs Drake a song

(01:26:02):
Drake doesn't use. Sad song puts Georgia Smith on
song right and fig puts Bernhardand puts burn at the end.
Basically what it what did you do?
Is kid on one day. Never mind.
Wait less weight less than content, one dance.
And are, you know, puts up. I know right there like, and I
get it because I don't think Drake would want to wrap on more
Life. The song that Bernard, right?
Yeah. Similar to The Way Beyond sir

(01:26:23):
was just like here, have your have your song on my album?
But it has been hard. Don't feed it.
It had been hard. I think it's hard to is well,
because Beyonce did not jump on the song with Burner.
He just she just put Dave on thesong.
Yeah. So now Burna gets on a song with
who So I still think I think there's drama in the air, you

(01:26:50):
know? And this is my oh, there's one
more song. The song gum body happens to the
mother, gonna make a man, a bothfamily.
Mine is insanely, good. Yeah, Lauren is insanely good
and then obviously Georgian Drake and no longer because
jaded happens. Oh, No, I was away from my mind.

(01:27:13):
Well Done, Right? So that's why I think there's I
think there's some kind of triangle or drama going on
there, okay? Don't do like a stranger things.
And connect you do spend so muchtime on social media, you see
it, right? But I have something I have
something here. Wait I have something here, we
were driving like I'm going to put the map.
We were driving the next connectdo though is I think the thing

(01:27:34):
with the string when you guys see it, right?
We were drugged him funny. We were driving somewhere in
like long enough where he could really flesh out the This
Theory. Yeah, I've been pushing it for
you half an hour fears, you literally three different
versions, but they all led to the same point and I was like,
and it'll never thought of telling a story and you get more
confused like the more details but nobody tied it together.
Every time you told the story ittied together every time and I

(01:27:56):
was like, no it, I just got upset.
When I see a picture with burnerand Drake, because it makes my
story feel like it's not real, like don't be friends.
I'm pushing the narrative here, don't be friends.
Body of all songs with George and they're both really sexual,
you know, and then George is like being honest.

(01:28:16):
You want me post a breakup, you know how like it's all there.
It's all dead. That's what you call Gus
Huebner. No, all day.
I just like to push the narrative.
Oh my God. But I'm, we'll see, we'll see.
Oh my God Hasty. I've been, I've been wanting
this. I've been wanting this for a
moment. Wow, I'm trying to make it a
thing crazy, but they took a picture together.

(01:28:38):
Post my thing, and it's made me.Me very upset and that I read
that, that didn't deter you fromyour mission.
No, no, I'm okay. I'm a man of God, shut up.
It's a big man. I just thought I'd let that be
known. So we'll move on from that will
move on. I feel better.
Thank you for being thank you. I got it off.
My done. Thank you.
Thank you all. So I'll take my paper back down.

(01:29:00):
I'll take the string, thank you for.
Thank you, for being honest. Last last and led from Toronto
to London to Lagos You know, I bought it all together.
Sorry. Sorry, shut up because, you
know, honestly being long the way the lights are reflected.
Looks like we are on the upside Marshall almost like one.
Yeah, about to say, does I thought you were still pushing

(01:29:21):
the Nando colors? We're not pushing anybody else
not paying us very much. So very much.
Y'all, not even get the run a strap back.
Didn't get the free trip to something about to do.
Yo, hashtag Nando's Mahalo Nando's wahala, I don't know.
Okay, I just know why not Noah Hollis also and very, very
packaging mahalo. A sauce would be nuts for a lot

(01:29:42):
of reasons, so I'd he's gonna doit without this wahala means
trouble or problem it since likeslang for well, it's the word
comes from Arabic o koala and then because of the influence
of, you know, Arabic and Islam in Nigeria, it entered, its
slang culture. So what how it means problem
trouble. So our shop sleeping, no wahala,

(01:30:02):
you know, it's a very peaceful family friendly show, you know
we you know, night vigils prayer, we talk about mental
health, we're pro, women are prone Yosh, you know, it's a
very You know, inclusive environment.
So we want to smoke with Nando's.
Oh wow. But we also want wahala sauce.
That's like so hashtag will house all next time.

(01:30:23):
Just send us, the will get the email.
Yeah. And you girls talking to a
Nando's rep right now. So yeah, you like one?
That's the bag I got you. Yeah, thank you.
And then there he's in the meantime.
This is the verb. When you come through I've been

(01:30:47):
told he's the one that told themto water down the source for so
that people Force themselves to come to us a like he had a big
plan, that's why, that's why thecovid-19 is jumped.
Okay, makes sense. Wow, no.
No, it makes you know I want to look at the candle.
I get it. Nothing.
No, not that at all. I understand now and we'll move.
I get it. It traveled.

(01:31:08):
All right, cool. After Intergalactic, right?
Well, what what, what is, what are some projects that you're
like, working on or looking forward to putting out, like,
maybe the client, you don't likethe climate is Messer, the best
to put it out now. But like ideas, you've always
wanted to put out into black tick but into black but it comes

(01:31:33):
from Intergalactic like that's what like this.
It was a it was a play on that would I think?
I want to like put out like an EP and then I want to probably
do another album but like I'm starting to get more into like
visual stuff also like you know I got I was watching a few years

(01:31:57):
ago watch like the season 1 of like loved it and robots and all
Netflix. Yeah and I was like imagine if
like these are like African stories.
Oh, you're just like like because we have so many like,
folklore tales and stuff like that.
So like, I think like can show for, like, the next 10 years I'm
like I'm up, you work as much asI'm doing my music thing, I'm
trying to work on doing like stuff like that.

(01:32:18):
We should talk more about that offline, which is, which is just
like, like, I don't know. Like like when I went for
instance, I can tell. When I listen to like stories
about King. Shaka for instance, it's like
what, if, what if that was seen as like, can't either, like,
this caliper, whatever, you knowwhat I'm saying, I don't like
studios are like trying to tap into some of that stuff now.

(01:32:38):
But the problem is like, Who is in those rooms was?
Yeah, yeah. Is it someone that is actually
Zulu or Tulsa or yeah, Mighty that like, read it in a book and
it's trying to appropriate whatever?
Yeah, that's my biggest thing with like, at people telling our
story because then you can tell ya.
Cuz I cuz I think like I think like, especially like what like

(01:32:59):
TV there's this like Obsession would like, people of color that
it's always like in the future. So it's like, afrofuturism.
You know what I'm saying? It's never like what we have.
So many stories from the past that never like, got in the
times actually, like shine. So it's like I'm more.
I'm more interested in those stories.
Same and pretty common with colonialism.

(01:33:20):
Yeah. Wild fun.
Crazy shit. Yeah.
The history was pretty much a race for a lot of us.
Yeah. What we are called, a lot of
times what we're calling out forfuturism, some of this shit is
actually, like, like it didn't happen.
Applause, you know, our memoriesare ingrained in our DNA, our
ancestral memories. And so we're projecting it as
futurism, but it's really. Yeah.
And it's like, I'm somewhere. Yeah, I told us.

(01:33:40):
It's yeah, it's real cheesy but when I watched what took about
like the whole like Zhu, Zhu mu T take like that's that's that's
that's not crazy science don't like it's like it's like I'm at
a physics. It's the same thing for y'all is
like to do for us. It's it's There is a ancestral
knowledge, right? That has never been.

(01:34:02):
Well has been demonized because of the Chris Colonial and
Colonial replacement of our ancestral spiritualism.
So I don't think that these things are necessarily bad.
There's good and bad in everything.
Yeah, but I think the hot everything is heightened around
the bad stuff if so then it's like, don't don't even talk

(01:34:22):
about. Don't learn about it.
Nothing. You're not Muncie.
Means what does it mean though? What me?
His medicine. Oh wow.
That's like like it's like so there's all of that like digging
that, I don't know. I just find it like super
interesting, I grew up in a house like that where my mom was
a sarcoma. So some traditional healer it's
like I grew up in a house like that.

(01:34:43):
That's amazing. It's not demonized.
No, yes. Things like like I, I honor my
ancestors and stuff like, I'm trying to connect to that shit.
Yeah. So it's it's it's more so like
It's The Reawakening of those parts and and I think like
visuals would take it because I'm trying to do that with music
would like songs like Darko and them Samoa know, these songs.

(01:35:05):
But like, I also think like us avisual component that I need to
bring on as I go further into mycareer, I love that we never
talk to anyone outside of like, I don't think you ever talk to
anyone. Other West African about about
that stuff, because even like, in Yoruba culture, we call what
you call muthu called Lugo. And literally just means
medicine. Yeah, problem is when people
hear that word, they say, just like multi like, oh shit.

(01:35:26):
We'll go inside and then we tight with the stems can be
like, oh, they touch immunity, which means like take this moves
in and could be like for your flu.
Yes, I got a prescription medicine.
Show logo. And did you take your meds?
Yeah. So people know that it means
medicine problem is there's a stigma around that word because
a lot of focus is put on the bad.

(01:35:47):
Yeah. You know bad elements of that
word. It's so fast.
It's what's the, what's the? What's the equivalent shaqiri?
What's the word? I feel like it's a medicine.
Um I might it's like it's like all going as well.
So I'm trying to remember the exact pronunciation was that
once in a while but it's relative to all goes like the
base of ogham. Yeah so the weight Zulan also

(01:36:08):
related is the way his language in our languages.
Oh yeah. Like I'm like they stem from
this from the same salute. Yeah, we like my grade Aid, I
guess this is something. We went out a lot, a little more
salt, and then we're in a different place.
Obviously affects the language. Yeah, and then we were next to
the benigne kingdom. Okay we're doing.
We were trading with the Portuguese way before the Birds

(01:36:31):
game. Yeah, like a language is older
Yoruba. Yeah.
And hot Portuguese and part English.
Okay, so okay well we left way before like you're buzzed like
when insert a big cities and yeah became like a major tribes
or like. All right, you're about where my
language is closer to old girl. So because we have Less, you

(01:36:56):
know, less tribes that like wentthrough.
Yeah, our outside. That's crazy because I kill even
even in even in causal, not thatlike the more North you go, the
like strong of the Zulu, Gates. And like the most part you go,
like, we like it starts getting a bit loose because that's my
interesting. Damn.

(01:37:17):
I love this. This cultural Commerce a like
it's all day as. Yeah, it's all.
It's all hidden in the language.Yeah.
It's hidden language and you just gotta talk to though.
Geez. Yeah.
Well what does that mean? It's not written down so and I
like that. It's not.
It's like good and bad. That's not written down because
the stock like whenever Africanstell a story like it's not just
verbal right like? Yeah, it's body language.

(01:37:39):
There's like the there's not even the issue that you're
saying now. Yeah, you write it.
It's not going to hit the same. Yeah, it is.
There's an impact with the word,you feel.
It's, you know, like a lot of like indigenous, like people
like that. It's like, maybe they just
didn't want to ride it. So that would like people came
through. They wouldn't know what they say
about, you know. Like there's a big like, I

(01:38:00):
think, like literature like who cares about the oral part of it.
Because it's always like, brokenly broken telephone.
But if you have like like a CEO or an elder in that Village,
that isn't there to just keep the stories intact, like that's
not broken. Telephone because that's a
person that has to go through somany layers of Education to get
these stories for exactly like what they mean and stuff but

(01:38:24):
like or like literature is always seen as I not as good as
a book know when books liar books, life I think or history
at one point in our history or history was like it was the most
trusted from history. We had.
Yeah, good. But they're also back then,
there wasn't as many distractions didn't have the
internet and of course, we're nocell phones, no TV.
So you had to you, the attentionspan, I'm sure everybody's

(01:38:46):
attention. Just as we are way stronger.
Yeah you had your brain had to make space for ever to go to
school for that for years. Like get through that like sort
of which is why all our parents were way smarter than us.
Way smarter than that like you Ibut school also tells you to
learn a certain way. Yeah it's programming.
Yeah you learn learn this between this time and that time
you learned this, you learn to pass the test you know not

(01:39:08):
necessarily to like gather everything because sometimes you
read when you re done screw you like out, this is definitely
going to be an exception. I just gotta remember this on.
Gotta remember, For this. And that, you know, the end
result, maybe not exactly the Journey of the host.
That's really all school is school, is just a memory test.
Yeah, because nobody is necessary.
You're using your smartness is really just how strong is your
memory. It's yeah.

(01:39:29):
It's your meeting and the Brain can only most people's brains
can only take so much information unless you're like a
savant and you have like an incredible memory.
That's really all it is. So people that are deemed not as
smart are probably just distracted.
Like, they don't have the attention span to focus.
And yet retain the information that you find that this Might as
as how, you know, but in other things.
Yeah, because they actually careabout those other things, right?

(01:39:51):
But I mean, the same thing. If you went back, I mean, there
were people that were not alwaysmeant to be like Craftsman or
like, yeah, medicine people, or like Scholars, whatever, but
they were great fisherman. Yeah.
And that's what you did. Yeah, dude, that was your trait.
They were great drummers. That's what they did.
You know, it's just fascinating stuff.
We lost a lot of that stuff to history and people are people

(01:40:12):
have lost their way but hopefully we can get back to a
place. Race, you know.
Noah holla. Holla to know what I like
everybody. We will sorry.
We know we're not start against that.
I get, we will know. I do this.
We will use piece to diffuse thewahala shutouts.

(01:40:35):
They will not your best work butbetter than whatever you said,
because we're proud of you. Thank you.
Yeah. English is a wow.
No, like I'm saying that for me like us for us.
Yes, we did. First of all, your transamerican
you're supposed to have great English.
No, it's try that. I just I just became that.
Now, when you ask me the question, and it's like, not
even American. He hasn't he's having like he's

(01:40:56):
having an identity Crisis, crisis Crisis crisis.
