(00:25):
Welcome back to
another episode of no Chase,a live talk podcast.
I am your host, Remi Rowe.
And in the building,we got this guy here sitting to my right.
He is decorated, man.
You've probably seen him on numerous,
numerous, numerous of fliers.
You know.

(00:45):
Advertisements. Everything, man.
His name is, like,so hot and buzzing throughout this
Tampa Bay regionand throughout the industry.
And, I'm just proud to sayI've seen this guy grow
from when he first startedto where it has,
cattle voted to now,

(01:06):
push a premium, man.
Without further ado,we got the push supreme in the building.
Thank you. Man. Sitting down man.
What's good? My brother. Brother.How you doing, man?
I'm great. Is great to have you here, man.
Tonight to sit down with me.
And let's just kind of chop it up and goover everything that you got going on.
I know the people want to know.

(01:26):
You know, also.
So, What what's what's new, man?
I know, I know, it's a lotthat's going on right now.
We, we kind of was diving in a little bitbefore the cameras started rolling,
but yeah. Yeah.
What, what's what's like
what's what's going on right nowcurrently and push a like man.
So right now we have our Christmas party,a crowbar we collab with

(01:47):
with our guy Tom from crowbar.
And what we're doing with the proceedsfrom that show is that we're going to make
sure that we are going to go and buy giftsfor these kids in the hospital.
I believe in Saint John,so he picked the hospital.
He's been doing it for a while now. Okay.
Normally when I do a Christmas party,I always,
I always aimto make sure that I get people shoes

(02:07):
because I come from that backgroundto where it's like my mom, you know,
I tell the story all the time, you know,she was like, yo, what do you want?
You want school? You want schoolsupplies or you want shoes?
You know, that was likea crazy ass choice for me, but it's like,
okay, well, if I get shoes at Christmas,but I don't look good.
Did I have a horrible summer?
So I'm like, nah, I'm.I'm gonna stick with the school supply.

(02:27):
So my first pair of, like,Jordans was until I got to high school,
you know what I'm saying? So, like.
And when Marvel told me,like a really key lesson about that
because it's like a, it's like desiresand like importance for like a legacy.
She raised you right.
And and bigger than that, you madethe right decision because you know,
how many niggas would have picked themgoddamn jays and would have been a nigga
begging for a penciland begging to borrow people

(02:50):
that she used to aggravatethe hell out of me.
Like then he bring nothing.
The first day of school in. You a life.
You begging somebody for damn person.
Like yo some people
like they probably watching is like,oh well yeah, that's me now.
And I got to.
But yeah.
But like, you got on the standlike the teacher treats you different.
Right. Like they go to.
So many different students. Like for them.
They don't go to the studentsthat God they should together

(03:12):
because they're going to get an A'sand B's.
Yes. What a bull.
They end of the year rating because that'sthat teacher I have to make sure
she have a certainrating to be able to teach the next year.
Absolutely. That bitch goal. Absolutely.
So, you know, you know,when my mom moved to Tampa, she was like,
you know, I've given youChristmas, birthday gifts, all that.
So you get anything else for me,it got to be like, makes sense, right?

(03:35):
You got something to that?
So I've always learnedthat was sacrifices.
You know.
Same as a real man.
That's that's big too, man. Giving back.
You know, and just to have the mindset,you know here you are in the position
you're in and you're doing a concert and,you know,
taking the proceeds and donating itfor those that are less fortunate.

(03:56):
So definitely that's a big salute.
The thing is, like,I understand the shoe culture
and I understand how the shoe culture,
provides an influence on an individual.
And you,you may live on 34 and Hillsborough,
you know, so you might live in Harlemor in the Bronx like I did.
And you don't have a lot of confidence.
You don't have a lot of dope ass clothes,but you got shoes,

(04:18):
and the shoes is going to provide youwith the confidence so that you can be
in class and not feel like you leftin the next man.
Right? Right.
I understood how shoes play, you know,whether, you know, for me, like I said,
I have my first pair Jordansthat I was like in high school.
Oh, those the Pippins.
Rodman's always some offbrand shit, but, like,
you know, I understand how it playssuch a key part in today's society.

(04:39):
You know what I'm saying?
Like, your parents,your shoes, your clothes.
And so you came. All the clothes.
But the right pair of shoescould definitely.
Set it all.
Hell, yeah.
Yeah, I had my first pair of jeans.
I was going to buy them, too.
I was like, you know, 17, 18when I bought my first pair of jeans
and I bought on myself, like.
That's a feel good.
You know, they're like,hey, you're good bro. Yeah.

(05:00):
It was like, shit.
You mind going in the malland dropping one 3140 on you?
I'm like, I. Stood in lineall. I was like, get that?
I was like, it's differentbecause people treat you different now.
It's wrong for people to do differentbecause of the shoes.
But it's like, you know, onceyou understand
the social class, it'll matter.
Like, like even today, like today,there's a social class
when when you're within those confines,

(05:22):
then you're able to maneuverbecause end of the day you have survive
and you can't really rely on the waypeople look at you and view you.
You have to survive foryou and your family and your family name.
Yeah, absolutely. Man. Absolutely, man.
So, you
know,you know, we we both follow each other,
you know, and, you know,a lot of things that we have going on.

(05:43):
And one of the things that I notice,and I want to big up and salute you on was
is it's probably been about a year, agowhen you signed a deal with ROC Nation.
Yeah. On the distribution. Yeah.
So we did the, the distribution deal,and we're like, we're ROC Nation.
And the reason why we didn't have fullfledged deal is like,
when we talking with the numberswith them, it didn't make sense.

(06:03):
You know, I'm saying. Yeah, for me, like.
You're not the first person I heard saythat coming, like, I've, I've,
heard from ROC Nationa lot of the deals that they're
presenting to artistshave been real crappy deals on a lot.
A lot of artists have turned them down,actually.
Yeah. The thing is, like,

(06:24):
I feel like with a lot of artistswhen you give an opportunity.
Yeah, but you're not treating
your music like a business, right?
Then you have two different perspectiveson it. Yeah.
So for me, I've had an LLC sincehigh school, you know, same from back
when when you know me and overand everybody else was paid.
Zinc was already doing music. Shit. Yeah.

(06:45):
Selling CDs, stuff like that.
Like I already knew that my mom put me onbecause my mom had LLC when she came out
here, right.
So she was working at TJ,but she also had an LLC.
She would work on the side.
She always told me, like, yo, having abusiness on the side is like having a kid.
I'm always going to take care of you,you know, I'm saying.
So I got my LLC, you know, I just come to.
Draw jewels on the earth. Yeah.
No. Yeah. Because the thing about America,America could be wicked.

(07:06):
If you understand the,you know how to play the game, right?
So, you know, I had an LLC for that long,but I never knew how to like big money
with my LLC. Right.
I thought an LLC was like a flex issuelike that.
Right.
Until I got older, I started fuckingwith dread and a and like everybody else.
So when I went to ROC Nation with it,

(07:26):
and I understood that, like, yo,
I can actually build business creditto my LLC to escort.
And then instead of me going to ROC Nationand begging for 150,
I could just go to a bank and get 150.
Easier to just,just better myself financially.
So exactly.
So you know, before I went there,you know, I wanted to see what they had
because, you know,I was busy for long, like, like

(07:47):
if you been to any of our shows, stufflike that, we do 150 to 300 show.
We do that 20 hours apart.
So you do the math. So right.
We can literally likeeat of what we got going on. Right.
Not including merch,everything like that. So.
Right. And the streamso and we had billboard.
So it was like the thing is like I thoughtthat for me to be able to get to the,
to a level of respect to whereI can get more fans, but I had to be fine.

(08:09):
You know,I'm saying I'm gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel.
But honestly,like all those guys, it's all third party.
Say you'll be signed to TDE or
ROC Nation or Def Jamand they have a third party
nigga who they go to and they make surethat shit happens, right?
So what the fuck am I doing all this for?
You know, I put all the work in.
I'm goingto give them a publishing. For what?

(08:31):
I was like, the title doesn'thold the same way that it used to.
It doesn't.
But the thing is,I don't discourage anybody because for me,
I had an early family.
So my intention with musicis a lot different than most niggas.
See what I'm saying? Right?
So you chasing a deal? Stuff like that.
You got no fucking responsibilities.
Shift that deal. Get that shit, bro.
Right.
Get that hundred, get that 300and then flip that shit. Right.

(08:52):
But for me, 150, 200 is not enough, right?
It's not enough because.
There's not enough.
No, I hell notbecause I have a band. Right.
So before that I got to feed those niggas,you know.
So we got, we going to give it to. Yeah.
I gotta make sure that I put the breadout there to get the merch right.
You know what I'm saying then?
Not gonna give me merch for freeon the back end. Yeah, right. No.

(09:13):
So it was like once I understood all thatand he was talking to me, I just like,
yeah, you know what?
I just do a partnership.
Partnership distribution.
And then let me, let me exerciseon the things that you guys have available
for now.
I was like, I can I can doa lot more things that most people can do.
Right. But it cost the same shit,you know what I'm saying?
So I can'tI can do it now if I have the bread now.

(09:37):
But you can do it now too.
If you have the bread now,
you just you might have to go to anothernigga that might charge you 500 on top
of what you going to do, right?
It's the same shit though, y'all say so,you know, big shout out to Macklemore.
He did the right way.
He went on LinkedIn
and found everybody that was firedor had left the label connect.
This could be connected with them.
And then that's how I blew itup. Wow. Yeah.

(09:58):
Anybody just just did the homework. Yeah.
Yo. For real.
Because a lot of these. Individuals,that's the way. The job. King.
You know, I follow artistLil Russell, out on the West
coast and, Yeah, humble, humble brother.
Man. And like,I was follow him before he blew blue.
To the point where nigga used to,you know, chat back and forth on IG, like,

(10:19):
you know what I'm saying?
When I used to comment on his shit
and I'm like, man,this cat kind of, you know, pretty cool.
And then, you know,hear him have a conversation similar
like what you're saying with ROC Nation
when he got the opportunityto sit down with them and
say the same thing, basically,that you're saying it's like I'm
hearing the same conversation.
Yeah. No, I'm thinking about his brand.

(10:39):
Yeah. Big man. Yeah. Now it is.
But you gotta think he startedjust like you started.
You know.
That's the only thing I wishthat I would have done that he done was
I wish I would have like learn fromAsian had a hub like this is my spot.
So we'll have.
Yeah. Whoosh.
I was my spot, but I didn't own it.
I wanted to do more venueswhere I can build more relationships.

(10:59):
When the Russell was just like, nah,
I'm going to circle my hubto be my family, my house.
I have my Scott. Right.
Here to see me right now.I'm same right then.
Now what happens now when he tours?
You see all those peopleyou going to want to book him, right?
Because they're like,damn, everyone see him over there?
He got those numbers. Yeah. He createdhe created the type.
His leverage was unknown.

(11:20):
It was stupid. It was unheard of.
So when he sat down with ROC Nation,it was like,
you know, they put a check out there.
It was like, what?
What the fuckI'm supposed to do with this?
You know what I'm saying? Like,you know what I'm saying?
So when you do that type of legworkthat you speaking on you, right?
I mean, it would be better off just.
Let's do a partnership.
You know what I'm saying?Like you say, because.

(11:41):
And if you if you, if, you know, gostraight, right.
You can't have a partnership.
Anybody that's listening to this, for me,it's just like,
you know, you know, I have an investor,I have my team.
So I have so many hands in the pot,
I can't really just, like,take some shit's selfishly right.
It has to make sense for everybody.
And, you know,some people would be like, oh, you know,
that's the MC hammer mentality.

(12:01):
But that's finebecause like, end of the day
I sleep at night and my teamyou what I'm saying
and God's going to put what he does.
You know like when I came to TampaI was on the couch
and I went from doing that and being likethe top fucking revered artist.
How in Tampa? Right. Right, right.
You know, you know, from recordingwith lava and taking over to, like,
not recording with LAX and like, yeah, I'msaying get in front of sessions, get in.

(12:24):
Fucking producers want to work for meis it's crazy, man.
That's crazy.
To everybody.
Like, yo, just,you know, stick to the plan.
Stay focusand don't really look for all of them.
Then pass them the back.
You know, right when you want them.And watch out for them.
For them, culture vultures and then peoplethat that's going to ride the wave.
They see you, you got emotion and youdoing something, and now everyone want to.

(12:46):
Oh, you know, let's do a track or.
Oh, let's do the wood. Wherewhere was you?
When I was in,when I was in the kitchen cooking.
The fucking hardest niggas to fucking.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Like, man, it's crazy.
And that's why I like when,when you look at what I do,
the faces and the people who I work withdoesn't change too much.

(13:07):
I still rock with a lot of my day.
One tight. My mom, I call them my bro's.
You know we're blood can make us no close.
Like they know my kids.
I know their kids. They whizzes.
We wewe we've been through everything together.
So it's like
right now, at this point,it's kind of hard to bring

(13:27):
somebody in newthat haven't been through shit with me.
You feel me?
The good thing is thatthey're like a bunch of music.
Your music is very timeless.
So it's like, you know, onceyou kind of like, you take the opportunity
to kind of get inand you dive into it because I feel like,
because I appreciate that.
Yeah. Not.
I'm. No.
Yeah. For me,I'm always, always fascinated.
You never like thatthe fabricated where I met you,

(13:48):
it was like, oh, he's an artist.
It took a minute because your systemwas fucking big and you were crazy.
So I was like, okay, okay, okay. What?
What makes you so chill?
So, like,I didn't know what to expect, right?
Because you you you, you know,you gave up more of like,
I like you immediatebecause you ask the right questions.
You got a good energy, right?
So when I heard them, I was like,oh, shit. Cool.
I did for you.
Like, it would just have to be like.

(14:10):
Like a product.
That's liketelling a story of who you are.
And then it'sjust like capturing that moment,
and then you just, like, rollthat shit down and everybody who.
You'll stick with it. Yeah, yeah.
But you have a really good store, like.
Like I would love to, there's only that.
You send me a little label that's like,oh, shit.
Yeah, I'll be forgetting that.
Like, yo, like you lowkey hood nigga,you know?

(14:31):
Yeah, yeah.
We forget sometimes.Yeah, you go from that.
But right out of niggas,
you know that's out there on 48 434struggle with Tampa East
Tampa used to hit that shit because like,yeah, you know, like some of them
niggas be like, oh, well,I don't want to be in the coffin.
And you know, saying isyou have to do any of that, but.
Right, like, but you don't have to like,
stay on that fucking pink assbuilding over there on 34.

(14:53):
That's real man.
You gotta, you gotta be smartabout whatever hustle you do.
You know what I'm saying? And that was me.
I did a lot of things I didn't want to doto make ends meet, you know?
But, you know, at some point,I had to smarten up because I made some.
I made some mistakesand did some things that I ain't proud of.
And I knew that, you know,like in that song that you mentioning that

(15:15):
I crazy, I had a young son
watching me like, do I,do I want him to see me go down this path.
Do you know what I'm saying?
And even know a lot of the shit.
I'm doing thisfor him to have a better life.
But at the same time, he'll look at mereal crazy if I hear, you know.
Can you imagine? He wake up one day?
He's 17, 18 years old and he like,what the fuck, my daddy?

(15:36):
You know what I'm saying? Like that.
That's that's the reality.
And that's the shit that a lot of niggasdon't know, really.
I mean, I won't saythey don't think about it, but it don't,
it don't affect their decision.Don't think about it.
Yeah. You know, think about. Yeah.You know what I'm saying.
Like for me it's like it'slike part of my writers is okay.
Right.
Like like, preme come to this club. Cool.

(15:58):
Well, I mean, we do two.
I know we have a problem, because.
Why do you need me there to to.
You know what I'm saying? Like,I need an explanation.
Because the thing is, like,you're taking away from my family.
You know what I'm saying? Right?
So, like, no, no, that that thing.
You'd be so surprised how, like,
a lot of people valuethe fact that you value family, right?
Because the thing is, we havewe have a run.

(16:19):
But when everyone is done,who gives a shit going?
The family is like, is bro like fucking
the bus
familyis being ran by the fucking daughter.
That's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah it is.
Yeah. Crazy.
Yeah, that is man, I ain't question.
How many if you could just think
how many showsyou think you've done in a year.

(16:42):
The most you think you've ever didbecause you do a lot of shows, bro.
I will say like in my in my,in my that time
when I was with them,I would say about 30.
Yeah.
But about 30,
30, 40 shows like there was one timewhere I was doing a show every other week.
Yeah.
So in this 12 monthsand you turned about two.

(17:03):
Yeah, about 24.
And then sometimeswhat we're doing two shows in one day
because you have somebodyI got a show here
and now we got to fucking go to pay thislounge to do that one song, right?
Yeah.I would say like I would say like 30.
Yeah. But, I don'tI don't regret any of it.
Can I do it now? No, I can't do it now.
It's more strategic now. Yeah.And it got to make sense.

(17:23):
You got financially like you gotyou got a brand now.
So you got a thing.
You know, if you if they're goingto put your name on a flier
and this venue is going to me,
I don't give a damn if they only goingto make 100 bucks off you.
You should be getting a cut iton your books.
Oh, no. Dead ass.You know what I'm saying?
And nothing.
Get the promoters, I get itlike I get what they're trying to do,
but it's like,I just wish they would be more about it.

(17:44):
Like, yo,like I need to get more people because,
you know,like a big shout out to my man vibe.
And big shout out to tell them on yo,listen, you don't have to deal with, like,
the stress of bringing me to performlike you want to work on the advertising.
The marketing.
That's my bad.We can just work on that, right?
Like I don't have to, like.
No, I'm saying because the thing is, like,

(18:04):
I don't want them to have an expectationof numbers when it's not my show.
Like, you know what I'm saying? Like,if you if you come to my show,
you understandthat you're getting my show.
The reason why we're able to sell out,take and fill out a ticket
and do 150 to 300to provide an experience for, like
if you're doing a show and we don't havethe same mindset of experience,
then yeah, it's not going to fuckingalign.

(18:26):
Has real.
You do you have my dancers?I have my band.
Your show is I can imagineI haven't seen you live in a while,
but I, I can still recall when I saw youwhen you performed at the,
Loveless Sex Music one yearanniversary event.
And it's not even the same.
I know it's not the same.
I know, I know, it's nuts now,because even listening to your music now,

(18:49):
even like the song you just let me hearbefore we start recording.
And I'm like,this record is huge, is be like
it is beyond it.
It's a whole.
It's that it's a whole nothereverything though.
So I can just imagine your show now,from what I seen in then it was nuts.
Like if you never seen a pusha prima show, you don't.

(19:13):
You just have no ideathe kind of energy you bring in.
It's in a room.
I appreciate that, like,I mean, literally everyone is like my boy.
He's from Yonkers.
He used east, east to produce and do musicwith me.
And I brought him out that night.
You don't really dabble with the music.
Too tough no more.
But he he loves to see good artists.

(19:35):
He was sitting there.
His eyes got this big when he saw you.
Damn, he time he was like Remy,who the fuck is that?
I was like, that's my boy pre.
He was like, man,that motherfucker is dope though.
We were just sitting, we in the back.
He it's just now we looking at you and youjust writing them up, and I'm like, dog.

(19:56):
That's the kind of energy.
Like, that's how you grab a room,you know what I'm saying?
And he's like,I had to give you your flowers.
I always tell you that shit.You know what I'm saying?
You always do. Yeah, but.
My main thing is to make sure that, Yeah.
Because then, you know,
the the, the whoever's listening tothe music is not there during that moment.
Right.
And like,
those studio moments be so dope, likewhen you fall like the right drop, right.

(20:20):
Or when, when you, you know, when you'recurating drums a certain kind of way.
But the practices have been so, so, so,so ill because like,
it's like we have like a throwing sound,like we're trying to follow the MP3,
but then like when you watchthese musicians, like bring it to life
and, you know, now we have a new MDand it's like, bam, bam, bam, boom.
They did. No, no no no.

(20:41):
Sounds like it's like they're they'returning it into like a roller coaster.
Right. And now, now it feels likenot more of like a performance.
It feels like an experience.
And that's all I want to do is like,you know, when I hear these, you know,
these song, these records is like itjust like it's crazy.
It's like seeing like, like if you couldjust picture a carousel, right?
It's a carousel. It's moving.

(21:01):
And then the carousel, it had the horsesand the horse moving now.
And the music is like current,you know, think curating that shit, right.
See my move here in my head.
And I will fess up like that.
And people say I'm a carousel.
The people that I'm, liketalking about, right?
So it's like it's such a, it's a, it'sso crazy to see it come to life because,
you know, for some people it's like, oh,the beef was like, it's not a beat.

(21:21):
It's like me reminiscing on a situationand having it played back in my mind.
The greatest, the greatest exampleI can give you guys is like,
beat it for Michael Jackson.
You know, I'm saying Michael Jackson,that song
and that beat when you watch that video
looks like it was supposed to be madejust like that.
Right? Exactly.
Oh my record.
It's like if I don't say it like it'sa moment in time to where it's just like,

(21:43):
oh, shit. Okay. Right.
I saw that kind of movie. What?I'm saying.
And I grew up on, on a lot of video game.
So, you know, I used to play like Sega,Nintendo and stuff like that, so.
Right.
All those games
have a soundtrack, have musicthat kind of even Street Fighter, right?
You can hear it.
You can hear thatnow, and it's going to resonate with you.
Like when you be like,damn, I remember that.

(22:04):
You're saying it's like certain levelsand you hear that certain and and it
and I see it coming in and you like,damn that
they should take me back to my childhood.
You know what I'm saying?Like, yeah, that that's dope, man.
The the
the plaque when you got your billboard,
award, you know,

(22:26):
talk about that emotion.
Like, how did that feel?
It didn't really hit me
until people were like.
Booking me and, like,
like using that to be,like, a reason to stop the conversation.
But in the beginning, it wasit was dope because, like,

(22:47):
I didn't know that abandoning your merch,would you ticket sales
with your with your,your music was a thing like during Covid.
So when you says a thing.
What, you mean like the accountant?
Yeah.
So, so, like, I did it because, like,you know,
like, at the time,like you sell t shirts, right?
Right.You still have your temple brand, right?

(23:08):
Yes, sir. Okay.
Yeah, I definitely I'mnot sure if you two as well.
Okay.
So, you know, when, when you, you know,if you sell anybody out there, if you sell
any kind of clothing, you know,you have your, you have a UPC, right?
Right. UPC is your barcode, right.
So when I, when I saw that,I mean, if I'm doing the Tampa T,
you know, on Shopifythat saw that on fucking,

(23:30):
I believe it was finally at the time,it's like, okay.
I'm like, wait, wait,this is a connected. Wow.
So I did some research on itand was like, yo, for every one song
that I sell by bundle it at that time,it's not like that anymore.
Right?
But that's 1500 streams,something like woo!
So I got to sell this merch and the merchconnects to the barcode and that's that.

(23:53):
That'show that's how we got it on every night.
So when I sold the Tampa T'smy goal was only to meet
100 new people because I had,just called as stupid as DIY.
My life was fucking in shambles.
So I was just trying, like,pay bills, meet new people, know same.
And it was just hard because at the time,I still push a premium
and people were still like tryingto get used to like me having a mask. So,

(24:18):
I'm like,yo, I just met a hundred new people
and represent the city in a waythat I feel like it should be represented.
I think that people will just go backto the music, but just for some music
every once in a while. That's what I did.
And then I did that shit likea hundred times, you know what I'm saying?
Right?
So when people came to the show,
they were like, yo,I want the full for the full package.
I want the shirt, the book, the this,the debt.

(24:39):
And we, we had a drink package to youdon't say like, yeah, but we have a,
one hour open bar.
So now I'm.
Like, you know, that's that'sthat's a hell of a marketing.
Right.
So if the UPC is only $5, right, right.
Oh, it's something for dollars.
Now people paying 30, 40, $50.
So now it's it's like, you know that fourdivided by 50 and then buy an extra song.

(25:00):
It's a song, it's a song, it'sa song. Wow.
Yeah. It was just going.
So I got hit up by by Billboard.
I go, the song, It's trend ended it up.
You know, I just like, oh, okay.
Like thank you. You know,I mean, I don't know.
And then I got hit up by,
oh by Tiffany Gaines.
She's like, hey,
you know, we're we doa lot of research work with, universal.

(25:23):
Want to add a song to our compilationso that, you know, we have other artists
that do what you do, and we want to get itpoppin. I'm like, yeah, cool.
And then they read it, and then I go.
In that same week,I was like 18 on Billboard.
I was like, Holy shit.
You know, I told Lex I was with likemaybe a month prior to that shit
and was just trying to figure out, like,you know, what songs are going to be like

(25:44):
the song for your friend,the kind of like Grow in Tampa, right?
And he gave me he has a subscription,subscription to Billboard.
So he gave me a so we was like,reading the names and going like that.
So I had a picture to this day.
So, like, you know,
it's kind of different now because nowyou have to have so many, like.
Why why are you saying they changed that?Do you think they changed it?
Because somebody probably found that.

(26:04):
Oh well yeah. Yeah. Once. Once.
169 gave everybody the game.
Did she go. Yeah. It was just like,
it took away from it.
But in my mind it's just like.
So you so basically you,you you discovered this.
It kind of by accident,but perfect timing.
Yeah. No.
Yeah, I definitely I definitely got inon accident and then it just worked out.

(26:25):
Then we had the, Damn.
Then we have the,you know, the billboard show.
Horton haveI didn't really expect many people
to pull outbecause it was during Covid, right?
So when everyone pulled upand people were doing like recaps,
stuff like that,I was shocked as fuck Row, right?
I was shows.
I was not prepared for thatfor that show at all.
But I was like,all right, well, we got these records
and we were going to do themguns, have a good time, right?

(26:47):
But now, you know, you go to the showsnow, the more interactive like we have
the 360. Can we haveyou know what I'm saying.

and I was like, yo, anybody want to bein a zoom call for the project?
Here's a zoom call.
And we had like 20 people,you know what I'm saying?

(27:10):
So those 20 people were like giving itfeedback like, okay, cool, cool.
So I took the feedback from that shitand I created before I say I do now.
Guys, man, that's crazy.
That's my I'm still just like,what you just dropped on me is like crazy
because it's the shit that we do,but didn't know it was a mathematic like,
systematic way that you can do that shitto make that shit.

So when I moved to Florida, actually,I had over to Tennessee for a year
to go to school, and, I was like on amaster P way because I love independent.

(38:17):
He was right.
And, that mystical mystic was dope.

But then, you know,people like my music life.
And he'd be like,oh, lay down easy on that.
So yeah.

(38:58):
So, you know, for me is it's like,you know, you clock in, you do your job,
you clock out, you do a job, you don'tsay, right, so you have to have balance.
You know, I'm I'm saying,
you know, being all the 24 sevenyou you get you get caught up in
the misconception of like what love isbecause they may love you
for what they do,but they'll move you for who you.

Yeah. As real as real, man.
I with that when I don't know where I'mkind of drawn because I like both artists.

(39:22):

Like maybe, like, maybe a couple years agothat Men in Black was shot there.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
So that whole man in black

So always been a Yankee.
There you go.
You know, like, you know,I've always fuck with the Yankee players.
My first,
like, famous friend was,Wade Boggs, his son.
Okay. You know what I'm saying?

(42:33):
So it was like it always been there.
And, you know, living abroad.I used to go to the Yankee game.
So there you go. You know, I'mnot I'm not big on.
Oh, yes. Well, I should.
Think he's got fucking spanked.

And it was what it wasit was the easiest call.
It was the Dodgers. Yeah.
And Yankees and man you know crazy.

(42:56):
It was crazy, bro.
They got the ass to put up.
Jesus. Yeah, man. Giants and Jets.
Neither one of them is Buffalo.
Like. Yes. Like you say, me.
I'm from New York and never been a fanof the Knicks, the Jets or the Giants.
Damn, I'm a football.
I'm a Patriots fan. Okay?

(43:16):
And then for basketball, I'm Wars fan.
So okay.
That's what's up.
Okay, I was with it.
Yeah.
Oh, I got a couple friend that they lovethe jets up I think I think, you know
respectfully you know me,but I feel like by the time
you watch this,it's like you won't be watched.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers is that good.
Yeah. No, he really disappointed.

(43:36):
All because I ain't gonna lie.
I root for the Jets.
But it was always something about the Jetsthat just, that drove me to.
I'm not a Jets fan, but, you know, I,I that's one of them teams outside the box
that I, I.
Will I mean, I still have my my KeyshawnJohnson.
Yeah.
People just like I used to always likelook over
when you had Curtis Marvinwhen he had certain plays.
But like rightI don't know it never really felt.

(43:59):
Like they just. Yeah it just the Jets.
The Giants you don't see each otherwith like New York's team.
Like y'all play in Jersey just like.
Yeah. Yeah.
They likethey like the New York stepchild.
Yeah they did.
Yeah. Yeah. Like the the liberty,you know what I'm saying?
Right. Damn.
So let's, let's just kind of talk about,

(44:19):
you know, the recordyou let me hear earlier tonight.
Okay.
Big Afrobeats,
vibe, you know,
not not just Afrobeats, but it hasit has a lot of different elements
in that song, but just going going througha lot of your records, do I?
I've, I've heard a transition where,

(44:40):
you know, that that plays a big influencein let's kind of talk about that,
that whole Afrobeats movement,like what's your take on it?
What what particularly drawsyou into the culture to tap into that?
Like, I think it's brilliant, actually,because I think more artists should,
tap into that culturebecause is huge, man.

(45:00):
Yeah. For me,
how it all came about with
my motherin, in, was doing WhatsApp whatever.
And then, you know, eventuallypeople like, Google me, stuff like that.
And you see everything we got going on
and, you know,they put all the music stuff out there.
And she was like, oh, well, you know,he never really make any music for us.
And for me being a first generationAfrican, you know, early on

(45:24):
I was like, nah, I mean, we can do it.
So I wasn't familiar with itbecause I always looked at
as therefore I thought dancehallreggae was like that style of music.
Right?It puts you in the mind of reggaeton.
Yeah, yeah.
So like, you know, in Sierra Leone,a salon for those down the stand is like,
it's a very like it has like
a very old schooltraditional sound that I'm not used to.

(45:47):
But the thing is, like,because I had so many Jamaican friends,
I was really likeand therefore a lot, you know,
Buju Banton, Vybz Kartel, right?
Elephant Man, BeenieMan like that was like
that was shit was always in my rotation,right?
Right. So,
you know, Adam, Eve, I tell everybodyall the time that was the mistake.
Like, we got the beat and I kind ofdo what I did in the two version.

(46:10):
If you heard the first version,you would never fuck with the song.
So the second version was more sojust kind of like trusting my main scholar
cloud engineer
and like, just like just doing top linesand going over the top lines of it.
And then it worked out. So I was like,okay, cool.
Let's, you know, let's do,you know, better than yourself.
And at that time, I was really, really,heavy on Drake's views, you know, say, I.

(46:32):
Love that was a dope. Dope app.
Oh my God.
So, you know, wasI still understanding, like, okay, well,
you don't have to have the accentto be able to make the music.
You just have to just understandthe music.
And I just started doing that more.
And then it just, like, transcendedso much easier.
Right then my fans were more like, yo,I like your voice on these particular
beats, right?
So we just started focusing on that

(46:54):
and then boom, then we, you know,we after it to say goodbye.
Then we moved on to herewas eventually die,
which is predominately more Afrobeatand then we saw attention.
So I'm not going to just, you know,stay away from must work was working.
Yeah. You know saying don't make sense to.
Yesterday and the things like thisthe music that I listen to my past time
so if you come to any of our New Year'sEve parties or birthday parties,

(47:17):
or if you come to the crib, my mom'scooking on Sunday, I'm always playing.
Where's the New Year's Eve party?
And we have it at the crib,you know, saying. Oh, okay.
Okay, we have at the crib.
And, you know, because for me, it's like,you know, I've been blessed.
I have a crib, I got my room.
So, yeah, I just want you guys to be safe.
Bring the new year.We pray we do. You know.
We bring it in the right way. Yeah, the.
Conventional stuff,you know what I'm saying?
So for for me, when it came to Afrobeat,it was more so like

(47:40):
it was waiting for me to to take ato take advantage of the opportunity
right now, I mean,and then I've always I've already been.
Listen to Ruga.
How do you feel about it?Like she loved. It.
She loved it, you know, because
because like, it allows me to likeI don't I'm not as aggressive.
So I'm not saying nigga, I'm not cursing.
I'm like very, just like in tune with
relationship situations.
And you know, anyone that's watching this,you know, African men,

(48:03):
that's like our biggest flaw is like, he'sdealing with like relationship,
you know, saying like wewe want to be dominated.
The woman saw the women get takencare of is like it's a very is a
is a Rubik's Cube of different emotionsthat you have to kind of deal with.
So for me,it's like I'm so, like steadfast in my,
my decision making is like,I want this particular thing,
but I have to, like, become a millionairefor different situations

(48:26):
to make this shit work.You know, I'm saying, right.
So sometimes it's like, oh, wow,you did that shit, I was crazy.
I thought, I,you believe in myself, right?
But then sometimes out of me was like,I can't let you go.
But then sometimes this is like, you talkto somebody new and it's like, damn.
Like with with no bullwith the fucking tradition.
Like what?
What's your lovely cause like God.
Right? Right.
So like, for me, like,like I want to portray this

(48:46):
like the artistthat's trying to reach his goal.
But in the myth of him reaching his goal,if Dylan was just like the last factor
dealing with the father factor because,you know, you took to be very successful,
the black male, you have to kind of likecut off a lot of emotions.
So what I do is like,I take the chance for everybody else
to deal with this and see if it works out,if it really worth it.
Right. You know, I'm saying.

(49:07):
Right one and, you know, one of the.
What?
Excuse me, would you be in a positionthat you're in?
So clear my throat.
Sorry about that.
Would you be in in the positionthat you in?
One of the the toughest things

(49:28):
to to keep around youand to keep it flowing
fluently is to have people in place.
Your.
Team that has, you know, certain dutiesand things to make the operation work.
So talking that experience, like,I know there's a lot of moving parts to
to make sure to push Supreme brand worksin to make sure it's a well oiled machine.

(49:51):
Yeah, definitely. Definitely. So,
the fact that this came from this like,
just researching onwhat makes the label the label.
Right.
So you can have Jay-Z,but there's no Jay-Z without cam
publicist, producer, blah blah, blah,blah, blah, blah blah, right?
You know, in our aspect, I've been blessedto be to have a media team.

(50:12):
It's my
my media team gets me right.So I don't have to think about
what's trending on TikTokand all the other stuff.
That's what they do, right?
You know, I'm saying we come see them,you know, for that,
then, you know, for my producers,they're like,
I don't have to worry about like,
do I like to be doing like, no, no,
like that'd be like they go through
all the beef that they knowthat I'm not going to fuck with,
and you send me ones,I am going to fuck with it.
I just stay in that pocket.
That's so, you know.

(50:32):
I, you know, having a teamis more important because, like, it's
just too tough to to try to figurethis shit out on your own at this stage.
Right.
You have to,
you know, things move so fast, like,before you can,
you know, in the 90s and early 2000,you could splinter the artist
and try to find yourselfwhile being pump with so much advertising.
But now that everyone has access

(50:53):
to advertising and it's all so large,you have to kind of like micromanage
what works and then grow with thataudience, right?
So, you know, having a teamis super important because you may be
strong minded in your decision making,but that might be the right decision.
You might just be bullheaded.
And that's okay,
because like as an artist,you're going to have to pull ahead
of momentsto where you think everything is right.

(51:14):
You know, I'm saying,
but your team is going to be like, no,like just the functionality
that's going to help this shitgrow, right?
Yo, we got to do this.
We got to do have to sell this,to sell that, to get more this more that.
It's a lot of trustinvolved with that too.
Like you you know people knowing youyou knowing them and you're
you're allowing them to workand to do their job.
And you know, and having that trustand counting on them

(51:36):
that they're goingto make the right decisions.
True. And vice versa.
You know, they know you.They know what you like.
They know what you don't like,and they know how to
they know how to to bring something to youthat may make you uncomfortable,
but but be transparent with you.
Because sometimeswe have to be uncomfortable.
You know, you can't have a bunch of yesmen who just going to always,

(51:58):
Do something to try to appease you.
Sometimes people gotta be ableto bring you a hard truth.
Like, you know what? I don't like that.
Or I think you could havedid this better or.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like,you need that around you, too.
You gotta.Yeah. You know, and I feel like,
the group we have around us now,
they're more like thatbecause now they look at my music

(52:19):
as a representation of what they're doingwith their free time.
Right?
So, you know, like friends,my cousin Roth, like,
when they take the free time,they talk to their wives and girlfriends,
be like, yo,what do you think about this song?
Right? And added to the feedback.
And they'd be like, oh, well,what about this? What about that?
And that's so dope.
Because like, everybody'slike looking at it as if it's like,
you know, like a, like a monumental timeframe,

(52:42):
like this time from that,everybody's like honing in
and tapping in with,this is going to be here forever, right?
And if you know, if you've been with mein the beginning, my journey, you see
that, like, God has a position for usand we're going to get there now.
Woman I get that the speed that you wantto get there, we're going to get there.
But just like Dolce,like I've done shows with Dolce.

(53:02):
Shout out to, don't you.
Feel that same build plenty of timebefore I even went.
Don't went to New York.Came back. She made the,
amount of cut y'all.
Where she made the,was it Billboard top list?
A female artist this year, man.
And she she plays pretty high on that topten list.
Man, I was yeah,
I was proud to see on, you know,heavy hitters like, oh, you know,
you got the Megans, you got the Cardi B's,you got all these females.

(53:26):
And doji name is right there in the mix.
So that that was dope, man.
And shout out to you for sharing the stagewith doji man being she's a Tampa
you know. Now I will say thatbecause of what she's at right now.
You know I say I say thatbecause like the thing is like
it's possible for anybody out here.
It just takes like super, super,super focus, right?

(53:48):
Super focus and manifestationwith no distractions.
And it's hard because like, you know,it is a December end of the year.
But after the end of the year, birthday,January, birthday, February,
March, April,May, I need a vacation and things like.
She didn't take any of those breaks,man. Right.
I remember that time framewhen she found the million dollar

(54:09):
check in the, and that, oh,that's like it was like a two year old.
I remember that shit.And I was watching stories.
And you know, my man Jake, who did who dida couple of my videos to her videos.
So he's always adamant about mewatching what she had going on.
Right.
And so when you see all that's just like,no, I mean, like
if you continue to work in.
Right,
thosepockets of time, they're going to open up,

(54:30):
those portals are going up and up,
and you going to hop in thereand then create a story. Right?
I'm saying, but like if youif you fall back because like, your family
or my kids or a job or this like that,that it's like it's not going to keep up
because if our favorite artist that to us,we wouldn't fuck with them.
You know, I'm saying
that, you know, I'm sayingif they didn't drops in the mail
all the time, you going to be likeall of that?

(54:51):
Now? You have to understandwhat you are like.
We are a service to the peopleat musicians.
You know, I'm saying, well,
we're providing the vibeswithin the storytelling, stuff like that.
But I'm not more important than the
who would come hereif he had a heart attack.
I'm not more important than the ambulance,you know what I'm saying?
Like, I know my place in thein the animal kingdom, stuff like that.

(55:11):
So once I start figuring that out,
then they start winningbecause they're like, yo,
I'm here for this, for this boyto fill you.
And that's okay.
That's what music is here for.
You know I'm saying my, my musclesthat that gets me prepared for a show
is just as important as the individualwho picks out my clothes.
Right. You feel me.
So you know once onceyou think about life like that,

(55:33):
then you can see the tunneland you were like, oh, I gotta go here.
And you go there and it's just as happy.
Happy to help them.
You do have some, some very dopewardrobe to man.
Like, I look at a lot of your photosand I'm like, you look like an artist.
Like, you know, like you you you just.
It looks.

(55:54):
It looks dope as fuck.
I'm like, damn,where you put that shit together yourself?
No, no.
So I get blessed name,my Twisted Muse by Pablo and and,
And Kabul.
Takeo. Okay.
Thought they get this stuffthat I put on as well, too, because I,
you know, I make Tampa tea. Me.
Right.
But, you know, it's like it's dope
because they have, like, a certain visionand then let's see, let's see.

(56:17):
Made made this particular,
because I normally only people make,
make the premisebecause like a spiritual process for me.
But. Right.
Because you used to make all your own.Right.
Yeah. Yeah.
No. And I still do like.
Oh, she made this for me.
You know,
I forgot how the whole conversationstarted, to be honest with you, because,
I mean, when they hit me up, I'm like,nah, it's like it's a spiritual thing.
I'm not like, I just don't want your handson my face, right?

(56:39):
I feel you.
So, Well, let's see.
She did it. She gave me three.
I gave one to my man. He was a drummer.
The green oneI kind of wear every once in a while.
But this one, like, it's like it's so,
receptive when I go places.
Yeah. You other ones maybe make you like.
And that's not what I'm trying to do,but. Right.
You know, chainsaw P free to

(57:01):
all of themare the, depictions of the album.
It's like thatwhen when we can always listen to it.
You know, I made it based off of those.
Of those. Right? Exactly.
So it's like,I get it like, you know, when we did the,
the live with Timberlakeand he's just like, whoa.
He's like, you know.

(57:21):
Yeah,I played like, a crash out sound bite.
And he's just like, oh, you know, youI told me the name of the song.
He's like, oh, you come off like this.
I'm like, nah, bro. Like, it's not that.
Just like, like you're cool copyingTimberland, right?
Right.
I wouldn't be coolbeing Timberland, right?
Because if I want to go to Remy Roll'swedding birthday party now,

(57:41):
it's our birthday party, right?
I'm letting my my fameand my fandom interrupt your happiness.
And when we became friends,we become friends.
Because I was Timberland.
You primary role became friendsbecause you were Remy.
And I was preme. Right. You.
What I'm saying. Is that.
When we're in a very opportunisticenvironment.
Right.
Like, I know that I understand itand I don't I never want what I do

(58:04):
for my job to interfere with going on,you know, saying that's like someone
being like a fucking firefighter and,
you know, just like, yo, bro,if I have fucking
if I get stuck in my throat pores,are you going to help me?
Is this like, nigga, what?What are you talking about, bro?
I don't know you for that.
Right? Or best or someone play the NBA,you know, just like.
Yo, bro, you don't want to parlay, bro.

(58:27):
No, I, I didn't come hereto change my livelihood.
You what? I'm saying?
Like, I don't want people to treat meand stuff like that. Right?
I get it.
Like, you know, I'm saying I'm workingand we're seeing things and things
propel in, and I could be somebodyto possibly change your life.
But I'm not leaving with that.
Right. Exactly.
You know what I'm saying?I like going to live with my daughter.

(58:48):
I like going to Curtis Hicks, andI don't like being asked about music 24.
Seven.
Right now I'm saying I don't like
I don't like being like, yo,you want to hear the song?
And then for the for.
You right now. Bro.
Well, when I was in New York,I did that shit all day long.
I used to have insecurities about goingto, you know, circle K and that's okay.
To to.
Be my dressed up properly. So.

(59:12):
And now I'm down here.
I'm not doing that shit right at all.
Now I'm sticking with it.You know, I'm saying.
How does how does your kid,
accept like
you being you like with everybody.
You know, when you guys go out and peoplesee you and say, oh, that's.
It took a little minute, right?
Because in the beginning,she just thought that

(59:33):
he wasn't going nowherebecause I had just moved here
on the couch, stuff like that. Right.
And then, we opened for me in Tokyo,and she was there.
Our friends were there,and they're friends.
It's like your dad. It's me.
She was just like, okay,I believe you, dad.
And I'm like, cool, you know?
And she was like,yo, can we her language for the change?
And she was just like, hey, can youpost me on your on your gram right.

(59:58):
Which is, which is kind of
not normal for your child to ask you to dobecause get you his dad.
Exactly. You know what I like?
What?
Like why do I have to dangleyou like a trophy on my story, right?
For what?Because they. They're all my story.
They follow me on Instagram.
They do itbecause of what I make, right? Right.

(01:00:18):
So if I'm in, if I'm bringing you in now,it's just like I'm forcing the matter.
You know what I'm saying to toto get you lay on the edge like that.
Nah, I'm not a meal ticket, man.
Right, right. Yeah. I'mnot I'm not a zoo animal.
I, I.
You for that. Yeah. Exactly. Man.
Yeah. 1 or 2.
Then that would be the case.
But now like, I don'tI don't do that for that.
So anybody who who's out therethat that wants to be like an artist

(01:00:40):
to where they're able to like protectthe identity, do that shit but understand
like it, like I'm not herebecause I wear a mask.
I'm here because of my music,my hard work.
Absolutely.
With, you know, my mask, quoteunquote, is just so that I can be able
to see role tomorrow. Yeah.And no one's going to harass us.
And I still have thethe the the the interview. Pop up.

(01:01:01):
Right.
So many times
everyone like I walk past somebodyand I hear them talk about the Supreme
and like in a good side.
That's good.
This is just me
know that like I don't have to be thereto, like, shake up anyone's emotion.
Stuff like that. Right.The game was always built on that.
I didn't know what the fuck MarvinGaye looked at look like or, Mary J.
Blige until, like, I was like ten.

(01:01:22):
I been listening to themuntil I saw what a city look like.
I'm just like,oh, that's what they look like.
You fell in love with the music.
Yeah, and that's all I'm trying to push.I'm supposed to move.
I'm not trying to, like, finesse, y'all.And then like that.
Because I just feel like a lot of thatgoes on, right?
Do you have to upkeep that shit?You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, absolutely. Right on that, man.
That man. Damn.

(01:01:43):
You dropped some jewels, man.
I said a lot, a lot of a lot of good shit,bro, you know?
And tonight is the first time,believe it or not,
that I was seeing youor interacting with you without your crew.
Because two years ago, you did it.
It was probably 2 or 3 years ago.
You did an interview on my crib. Yeah.
And you hadyou had some of your team, which you did.

(01:02:05):
And then, you know, every time you came toLoveless, y'all was deep.
Well, y'all come ready, you know.
No, no, those interviews was crazybecause it was like a big party on that.
Like, we we was hanging out.
They we asked, but,I just told them because, like,
I knew personally, I just like,I didn't want to change the,
the, the trajectory of the worldbecause, like,

(01:02:26):
there's too many peoplethat you don't feel personally.
Right. Exactly.
And this in this feels personal,
and I and I beat you up on that,and I respect that.
You know, I didn't know what to expect.
But I
think that this makes the conversationflow a lot better because it's me
and you just really sitting downand chopping it up, so. Yeah.

Yo, how do you feel about that?
I'm just like, nah, I'm cool. Like,you know, it takes care of me.
Like the events, like we do.
Like, you know, if it was like,nothing coming from me, then whatever.
But like, it's moreso just to motivate the city

(01:10:35):
to understand, like, you don't have to beAtlanta, Miami, Orlando.
You guys are all your own.
Yeah. Oh, let's let's build temple.
Let's,you know, stop looking at other cities
and what they're doing and patronizewhat we got, man.
People, you'd be amazed at how many peoplelook at what temple do and mimic us
and and in echoing itlike they created a game what with it

(01:10:57):
went all the while they they got itfrom what we're doing, you know.
So I'm, I'm big on that, man.
Let's just let's do what we do here
and let's stay in our laneand stick the stick to our guns, man.
You know, you. Know, it's it'shard for them.
Made them a tough people all the time.
Definitely just, you know, it's,it's the home of second chances.
So it gave me a second chance.

But from New York, from nothing, you know,from being on a council woman today
and, you know, just let me know thatwith hard work and dedication.
Right.
You know, and just having, like,a clear focus point, anything's possible.

So, there's one spot called that's deli.
That's deli.
Yeah, it's a it's a Trinidad spot. Okay.
They were, they were,they were really fucking good.

(01:14:12):
There's also spot, you know,I mean, I always get to chopped cheese,
just, you know, it was just crazy because
where I used to get a chopped cheese,I got it because I was broke.
So, getting it now is, like,so fucking funny to me
that everyone cheese on,
Yeah.
And then, you know.
Oh. Really? Right.

(01:14:33):
And then and then this,
this is a pizza spot in Queens.
They literally go to.
And I'm trying to pull up this one joint
I see when I go backand I go up there, I'm gonna check out,
put it in my notes, but I.
You know how it iswhen you're trying to find something.

(01:14:53):
You never. I mean, there's a bunch.There's a bunch of spots. So.
Yeah.
So, I mean, if if not,if it's not, like a halal spot, then. Tao.
I love Tao like. Okay.
So TaoAsian food is, like, really fucking good.
Salad, brother.I love really fucking good.
Like really good.
And then,and then that's that is really good.

(01:15:15):
And then.
Of course, my mam.
I mean, yo, this locationis, like, all over the place, but,
Or I know him as RA money,so he's the one.
He's like the chopped cheese like guru.
That's not so.
He's he's always like, sure, sure, sure.
Yeah.
Like that.
So it's crazythat we have a visual with him, but, like,

(01:15:37):
I gotta make sure that that,
that that, link building back over him.
Definitely.
Definitely. Man.
That's what's up, man.
It's true. It'snot like it's going to be a nice.
Oh, man. I'm.
Yeah.
Yo, this was like,you know, we're going to be in Jersey.
Taking a camera guy.
The invisible. We were going to.
But like, I got, I got some,some people out there in the city.

(01:15:59):
Okay. Who,
who who's going to like the.
Oh, they're going like,so you know what I'm saying?
They won't make this shit work. So,
this trip,because it was so short notice, right?
I to take advantage of it,you know what I'm saying?
But you brought me back there.
You know, we did a show at the.
And the Brooklyn Music Kitchen,and we are making
a return out thereas well, too, with the Bam full band.

(01:16:20):
So right now, it's just like,
it is really just planning it,
and I just going offjust like spontaneous emotion.
Of course, my brother reaching those outthere as well too.
So, you know, we're going to do some towhere it just makes us feel full fledged.
Like the last time we didsomething was at the Delancey,
which was dope, cause we have about like70 head that we that we had, out there.

(01:16:42):
Maybe it was packed on the list is like,kind of like, you know, kind of come back,
but it's like you fill it out,but it's expensive.
So it's like 2025.
So it was it was a really good experience.
We had, shots bit legal.
Jay Brown they came up to me to New Yorkfor the experience as well too.
Fabian okay.
Girl two so it was it was dope,you know what I'm saying?
So, we we want toI want to create that bridgeway

(01:17:05):
right between, New York and Tampa.
That way,
when artists want to kind of, like,shift over or do show and stuff like that,
you know, they don't have to kind of like,figure out who do you got to talk to
and stuff like that.
I was like,you know, we'll middlemen that for you.
We make it work.
And then, you know,
you know, if everything looks good, stufflike that, and,
you know, stuff like,like in the spa thing, right?
You know what I mean?Because right now that's. A big pipeline.

(01:17:27):
So a lot of people from New Yorkis in Tampa, you know, now.
So that that should be a definitely,a definitely
should be a pipeline, you know, to funnel,you know, back and forth.
So I.
You know, definitely knowI mean that's definitely going to happen.
Like, you know we got some right nowwith Las Vegas with massive pyro.
You know rest in peace knowledge.

(01:17:47):
You knowwe were working on that as well too.
And then we have Kansas now which is not.
And yeah, you know, basicallythat's what we're going to do.
You know, I seen Tom do it, from crowbar.
Tom was like,he built this thing called detour.
He's basically like,you know, all these bands, stuff
like that, to, like,make a new way, whatever.
And then Tom's like, I'm the Florida guy,so everyone comes here,

(01:18:08):
and then Nevada or Canadaor they be like, yo, who else you got?
He set up.
So I want to do the same thingbecause like,
there's a lot of fucking talent in Tampa,
especially wanted thatcome to like performance in.
And I want to give them the opportunityto showcase the show.
Hell yeah.
You know man.
Highlight your band man.
You didn't, you know, spoke on your banda few times.
You might want to shout them upand say the names and shout them out man.

(01:18:32):
Yeah. You got you got queers, you got Eli.
You got just you got Si foster,you got Mike the dog who doesn't
the vocals for us.
You got to the manager,you know, you have the dancers.
You know for themit's you by legend of Don.
So, yeah, like,if you go to a page, on Instagram
or just Google, push a frame, pull
me, yougoing to see them out there and like,

(01:18:53):
you know we want to give you guys thatlike that Disney bodyguards experience.
When you come to a showyou pay your 20 your 15,
you won't get your money's worth as room.
We're not going to take those shortcuts
on the musicwithout taking shortcuts on, performing.
You're going to get a lot of energyand it's going to speak to you.
And, you know,it's really reminiscent of church.
Like, nobody's like, trap church.
You know, I'm thinking, you know, we wewe give you the we outside, but

(01:19:16):
we also give you they say they love you,but then we give you.
I can't let it golike these are all the more.
All the different emotions. And again.
These emotions are emotions that feel likethe common person in Tampa deals with.
You know what I'm saying? Like you likeyou really like this girl.
This girl, the fucking hole.
You can't let her go right for it.
But the metaphor is like the thethe snake in Eve right off of the snake.

(01:19:40):
She's out the garden.
You can't let her golike you got to be out of.
You got to stick with that.And you know what I'm saying?
And there's a lot of individualsthat deal with that.
But then also,
we got souls like Winnie, my best friend,when he's young, wet, right?
Yeah.
Like you got a girl,you know, she's your girlfriend.
She not like girl.
But we. Are.
You know, if you're from Tampa,you know exactly I'm talking about, right?

(01:20:01):
She doesn't have a man.
She doesn't have a plan.
But she's always therewhen you want to turn up.
When you turn up,you. Want to be female. She's.
You could call her.
She's dead with the shit.
But then she blames you
for not being in a relationshipbecause, like, I'm always there with you.
And that's that's impressive.
Yeah. So, like, that's the reason.
All this all stems from, like,
if you live in Tampa,if you were to live in

(01:20:22):
Tampa and like, yeah,you could move here, stuff like that.
But when you get acclimated hereand you know, that's the lifestyle,
that's why I speak on it may not come off
country,but it is really what it is. Right?
I talk about Charles before I talk about,you know, not being black enough.
You know,I'm saying I'll talk about being black and
making money and still not being reveredby, you know, you know,

(01:20:44):
the other race, stuff like thatfeels like, you know, everything.
Everything is in there.
And all I want to do is just, like,
talk to a mass of peopleto give them the gems that I wasn't given.
Because when H gave me my gemsand everybody else was like,
it was like atthe point to where it's like
this happened, what they're doing,you know what I'm saying?
So I was like, yo, before I go to that,you know what I'm saying?

(01:21:06):
And it out.
It wasn't like in the midst of whatwas going on because they was too busy.
Right? You know what I'm saying?
It was too busy to like,worry about where I go and all.
But he held me downlike I lived with him and stuff like that.
But that's like, you know, in retrospect,I didn't get the, like,
the Jersey treatment, you know whatI'm saying? And nothing wrong with that.
Like, like, like that'smy that's my my big bro for life.

(01:21:27):
Yeah.
No, I mean, but like if I got those gemsI would have moved a little different.
But I had to waitmy turn the way for jurors,
wait for laws, wait for these people.
And then my turn came.
But during that time, I was I was focused,
I was study,I did my own research, stuff like that.
So now when you compare it, it'd be like,damn, that's kind of crazy.
I was like, kid, you know what I'm saying?
I was, I was, I was Epps, man. Man.

(01:21:48):
So you know when it time.
So it's just it's just very the one thingI've learned during that process, like
information
wasn't there for me, you know,and it wasn't what it was.
Now, there was no ChatGPT.
You started learning my own. Exactly.
You know, you're one of the artiststhat did have to.
You had to go about it a different way.
Like, you know, now now, you know,artist is coming through.

(01:22:11):
They have a real code,you know, let's keep the g like chat, GPT,
all the technology to surround the thingsthat we had to go in loops in circles
to do and obtain informationis like right at the fingertips.
And so easy, man.
It's it's unreal how easy it is. Yo.
That's why I feel like,you know, like for me, cuz like we have

(01:22:33):
health,we frozen in time because like, our goal
is to use these tools to, to,you know, to put them that message out.
You know,I mean right, there's a lot of people who,
when I started music, don't do musicno more.
I remember the first ever
if you guys are watching this,you guys remember the chief.
It's I remember the Cheapeth era, right?
Mad niggas was rapping.
You rapping no more, right?You know what I'm saying?

(01:22:54):
And there's a reason.
There's a reason why, you know?I mean. Yeah, it's.
Hard to do with a quality like that.
Just like, you know,certain people are here for a long time.
It's. People were here. Well. Good time.Yeah. Has room.
There's no knock on that.
So just everybodythat's been following the movement,
I've been, you know, supporting the brand.
Make sure you do that for me.

(01:23:15):
Make sure you definitely support.
When we roll. We go way back.
You can just Google me and his nameand you'll see man interviews, you know,
because I saw a bunch of interviews,I was like, damn.
Like, I've grown so much.
From from those times to this time.
Yeah. I mean, and.
That's what that's the beautiful partabout it, because, like, just sitting here
listening to you tonight and it's like,damn, I remember the very first interview

(01:23:40):

Well, when it comes to thembecause, you know, the first time we did,
we did a show that we had, like,
you know, the whole stadium rocking overthe at the, the, the amphitheater,
you know,

(01:32:50):
since then, it's always been like,yo, what's the next thing?
And I always appreciate themfor doing that,
because that was a time when I was here.
So to be,you know, an opener for NAS was like,
I'm crazy, you know what I'm saying?
So, you know,then then we did, with the GMA again
the following year and the following year.
Then, you know, GMF turned into us

(01:33:11):
doing the Saint Pierre Open for G-Eazy.
So that show was like
like that was like the most personal showever, because, I mean, we had like,
we performed for like 8000 in Alabama,but didn't know who I was and understand.
But and Saint Peteis like who's done performance.
And we came downthere was us like, I know you.

(01:33:31):
I bought this shirt.
So you two today even, you know, bigshout out to he, the photographer,
he bought like three shirts from us.

He was like, I got this shit.
Yeah, I saw him not too long agoat another show.
Any other show, I'm like, bro, listen,

that we do the things that are,are going to propel the city.
Tampa there you go.
There you go, man.
And it's recognizing like,
you know, you're not too bigto acknowledge and recognize those.
That's, paying homage to you.

Yes, sir. Just just living it throughone day at a time.
So you see what it is.
So, so what was the experience that show?
I have not,
I think,
how was it?
Best way to put it?

(01:36:28):
I think yeah, I think, oh, not last year,
was it?
Yeah.
Last yearI went with Kevin Gates at the Ritz.
And I sure was fired.
The energy was there,
the emotions was there.
And that's what it was like.

(01:36:49):
I was like,oh, I bet that was a great show.
And then my wife, he took me
to push concert,and I was like, I, we here.
No, no, you know,wanted to join you on April Beat.
And you know why he's on that.
But I'm not really on that one.
I tell you,

(01:37:10):
live performance
was next level.
Like, you belong there.
It's like he belong there.
And I mean,
I personally,
as somebodywho lived on the outside of the world
and somebody who's also lived,

(01:37:32):
you know,
inside.
Stay inside.
Like,
you know
that she was real.
I think she was real. Hell, yeah.
Especially being,
you know, compared to Kevin Gates,who was like, he's very emotional.
Like, he knows his style.
So you know, I,I just hope to get that comfortable

(01:37:55):
to where, you know,I have like a template for it.
So I definitely feel for competition showmake you you know, definitely contact me.
You do you know what I mean.
It's like I make surethat you straight for the next show.
And I'm not the only one feel that wayabout the show.
He just said the same thingI said earlier.
You know, is the energy like,the energy is crazy, man.
When you put on. So

(01:38:16):
and this brother just came inand said the same thing. So
you definitely guys be.
Like, yo,
I'm from, I'm from of not
so not being from down here.
You mean not being from down here
and then coming down during Covid

(01:38:37):
here?
A couple joints.
Me, I'm a nigga,
I support local I buy local.
I wear local joints.
I listen to local.
That's for me. That's
true. Supporter. Sure. Supportive.
Fuck yeah. Oh yeah.

(01:38:58):
Like what's the next.
What's the next move.
That's not question.
What's the what's the nextwhat's the next move from here.
Because when all these big headscome down here
you know that's out thereplatinum records, big labels, big machine
behind them.
They come through,they come, they come down here,

(01:39:19):
they sell all these, you know, seeds out.
But you don't hear them want to.
You ain't going to hear them on a podcast.
You're not going to hear themon, on on the, on on,
you're not going to hear themwith buckwheat.
You're going
you're not going to get them.
Ask me nothing for like you're not goingto want any radio station, to be honest.

(01:39:41):
But they come down here and they eat.
Like a motherfucker.
Right?
What?
Like,
who's good with that?
So, do you know, do you have a plan?
You have.
I mean, no, no, definitely.
I think the thethe thing is this, though, right?
The the demographic here in Tampa. Right.

(01:40:03):
They have individuals that they like.
So when, like somebody, like a, sexy red.
Right. Let's give that example.
She comes to Emily, she to do. Well,you know what I'm saying.
Or Kodak she's going to do well.
But the thing is, is up to, you know, us
at the artistto make sure that we make sure the
the content, the music that we're creatingfits their lifestyle.

(01:40:25):
So for me,I have to make sure that, you know,
and that's what I'm focusing on for nextyear, is that we're traveling
so we can influence the Miami market,stuff like the nature.
Because the thing about Tampa,
Tebow has their own identity,but sometimes they need a cosign
before they like something.You know what I'm saying?
We've seen what happened with doji.Doji was here, you know what I'm saying?
So, once they get that cosign, it's like,okay, I can show him that I'm cool.

(01:40:47):
Then we end there.
So, you know, we've done a great jobwith our band for the most part.
You know,
even able to, you know, you know,touch people like yourself.
Right?
So the thing is now is like,how do we take it on a global level?
And if it's going to take us, it'straveling.
So, you know, I do want to travelbecause I was just like
everyonethat gives up on Tampa and they leave.

(01:41:09):
But I understand that I have to leave.
You know, I mean,I mean, young spoke about it today.
He's like, the reasonwhy I'm young, Dre, that you see today.
Because because I had €2 tour.
You know, I'm saying I went to Europetwice and now they they fuck with me.
But before you was here, Preme, I was you.
I did everything.
My show did it, I did, I did,I started a label.

(01:41:30):
He did everything I did.
So he's like, I'm telling you,
like I know you love the tablewhen you do all the ads in the world, bro.
But this particular city is a citythat's like, show me your great.
And I'm and may come out there.
Now somebody like rodwave is a little different right.
But me doing shows in Saint Pete,Saint Pete people are different.

(01:41:50):
Tampa is a little bit more. Prooffor Rod Wave.
I saw I saw RA Wave at Kennedy backwhen Kennedy was open.
That's not that much like me, myself,personally,
I live here,I eat here, you know, I'm saying I you now
if I like

(01:42:11):
I mean, I don't know which I doing,but I feel like,
yeah, you just shut it down.
Nobody nobody.
Nobody sheep.
Nobody nobody, nobody is nobody. Nothing.
Because you know what?
Y'all coming here? Yeah.
I'm making all that breadand y'all ain't doing nothing but y'all.

(01:42:32):
Y'all do nothing for the neighborhood.
Y'all doing nothing to the thing.
It's like it's such a huge misconceptionbecause when Rod Wave does it,
he does it on a huge spectrum afterhe has the bread.
So he could do like a
hey guys, I'm going to be at the circle Kand pay for everybody's gas.
But the thing about.
No, no, no, I'm not talking aboutI'm not talking about Rahway.

(01:42:52):
I'm talking about just on a level of.
Like radio.
Oh yeah. I mean.
Said whatever. Whatever said
whatever said whatever said, you know,
y'all come to y'all be like, for instance,
this part, why

(01:43:14):
why is this not on the real Tampa?
Feed him live the podcast.No wonder. Real.
We going to make. It I could go
I could go on.
I do right now and be like
and scroll down and I'll see some.
You see some regular boys on a real Tampatemporary.
It's a it's a wideit's a market thing, you know.

(01:43:36):
I mean
the thing is like we need likethis is great
because how you feel is like, nowwhen I take this clip and I put out there,
people react towards itand that's what's going to get it
going, is like,we just need more people to just be on it.
The Harley filling,
hey, but it's okay to be like,I don't fuck with this type shit no more.
It's okay.
Like, right, you know, you.
Know, and I get exactly what he's saying.

(01:43:57):
Not to cut you off.
I. And I feel the same way he feels.
You know,I think that our expectations are low.
Yeah, I feel like whatwhat entertains a lot of people,
you know, are, you know,
I think we we we look for other places
to get what we got right herein our own backyard.

(01:44:17):
You know it.
There'sno other podcasts out here in the city
that's doing what no Chase is doing.
You know, bringing you the push up frames.
Hill, I got the guy that created, Rap Cityin the basement on beat.
As bass as well as. Deejay spaceship.
You know, the caliber of contentthat I'm putting in front of people.
And a lot of timespeople just looking at it

(01:44:38):
and don't even realizewhat's in front of them.
So, you know, you writewhy this is not trending and throw it,
you know, you know, all the Tampa feesand the things
this are thethat's the question that I can't answer,
you know,and we're going to figure it out.
But, you know, we're not going to stop.
We're going to keep grinding.We're going to keep pushing.
We going to keep putting great contentin front of these people

(01:45:01):
and showing these people that we havethe same.
Is what you going elsewhere to look.
For as fast?
It just comes down to just making surethat like, you know, said, like
I got a good relationship with them,you know what I'm saying?
With Jay, rod and and Tampa,
then we going to make surewe take the clips from here.
We we'll put out there and and seeif people feel the same kind of way.
So you know, the internet right nowis in a weird place where it's like

(01:45:22):
gossip rules everything.
So, you know,you know, it's going to reach to reach.
Like,
it's like the one thing I had to compareit to is like the Jay-Z and NAS, right?
Like Jay-Z was like the flashy artist,stuff like that.
But NAS is always like,keep it real and grounded.
You know, in retrospect, NAS is stillputting out records till today, you know?
Right? Kings is dead. One two everywhere.

(01:45:44):
You know NAS,you know, NAS linked up with Hennessy and,
you know, open that channel to LeBron andand you know and congratulated Kendrick
stuff like that.
So like everything is going to
everything's going to be the waylike God said it to be.
But we you calling himwas a part of that plan.
Because now I can be like a little bitmore focus on that.
So I definitely call him now.

(01:46:05):
Definitely appreciate you brother,and we appreciate. It.
Now, like I said,
here with Charlotte saying I don't think
yeah, understand what I'm saying.
No chaser.
What going on?
How do I put this?

(01:46:27):
There are fun trying to be articulateabout this shit.
Nah. Be yourself fit.
You need never. Be fit
when y'all deejay pun, right?
What, like it shouldn't have just been.

(01:46:47):
Y'all be the other deejay.
The deejays who are,whether they be nationally syndicated
or locally syndicated or things like that.
I feel like there is not
there is no present.
There is no are not present.
There is no,
community, for as much for as much revenue

(01:47:13):
as this city generate.
Like we only likethey even no commission out here.
A little bit, a little bit like you knowI think everything is a little bit
separated. Right.
So like
you know Grand Forks have dinner tonightand you keep with,
you know the thing about the deejaysis like a lot of these DJs, are they just

(01:47:35):
trying to get that, you know, and you knowand, and and listen to this like,
you know, I'm not like,I told you guys like real niggas.
It's not enough bread for them to feellike, you know, I want to like be me.
So Isaiah Stalin DJ that he,he he wears by the life like yo
I don't want if I open as a DJ,I don't want to wait to play gorilla.

(01:47:55):
I want to play this now.
Let the next deejay who's close in playa better song.
And the thing is that this
like a hidden etiquette where it's like,no, you can't play these smash hits.
Because when I come, I'm goingto play these like, negative fuck you.
Right?
Fuck you.
And the thing is, like,he does it and and you know,
but the thing is he does itand they cut him.
They don't book him because there's like,there's this hidden Illuminati DJ

(01:48:17):
that's going on right now.
And no, I'm glad you say it because like,it needs to be said, bro.
It's like even even with,you know, me, me and Afro because like,
you know, I thought there wasn'tthe Afrobeat market, right?
And then DJ Koolput me in the Afrobeat chat with DJs.
I had never even heard him.
I'm just like, well, what the fuck isgoing, yeah, have a movement.
Yeah. I'm like, yo, you.
Bring me a huge movement.

(01:48:38):
I'm just like, yo, this is crazy.
Like, why is this not being like,promoted moreso for me?
You know?
That's why I don't give up on tempo
because there's like so much of Tampathat people don't know because it's like
sometimes the color of the skin kind oflike segregates where you want to be.
You know, I'msaying some people's like, I'm going,
I'm going to come to crowbarbecause I don't like I don't have no

(01:48:59):
famous or popular kicks, or I'm going togo to war to see because I want to work.
But no, fuck that, Tampa is a melting potor wherever the fuck you want to be.
Have you want to make it? Absolutely.
Hell, it's like if you own Alchemist,and once they understand that,
they become the thing.
When people come here from other states,they love that shit.
Philly, New York, they come here,anybody own shit and they're like, yo!

(01:49:20):
And you take advantage of
the little pockets that, you know,people have been here for a while
not taking advantage of, whether it bethe technology, whether it be bartending,
whether it be barbershops,you know what I'm saying?
So I'm glad that you said thatbecause, like, you know, I'm definitely
going to go back to themwith this rhetoric because like, yo, like,
what the fuck is going on here?
You know,I'm saying you can't have a boiler room

(01:49:40):
and have all your friends,you have a boiler room
and reach out to other DJif they get a shit perfume.
Yeah.
You know,
I apologize if I just, you know.
Nah, I'm more than a good bro.
I'm, I'm I'm more of an aggressive.
I'm definitely more of an aggressivethinker in that, in that case.

(01:50:02):
And I definitely feel like
the market,the temple market is being overlooked.
Like even with, even with, like ona sports pitch, being Beckles is a great.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Shot in
like he'sa great, a great, great commentator.

(01:50:22):
Like frickin.
It's so much shit going on.
And I know that you know, perhaps the,
the individuals that arethat are now shows and stuff.
They may not have too much to say.
So, but you know what?
They still ain't.
No, there's no commission.

(01:50:44):
If everybody got if
everybody got together and was like,I bet you know, we getting together boy.
Because we going to take a hit right now.
But we going to make more money later.
Right? Right. Right.
Yeah.
But, Premeditated for a minute.
Yeah.
Anyhow, regardless of that,
you know, just you push like,

(01:51:08):
well, and y'all still
killing it.
Definitely unrecognized.
Most definitely.
Man. And, and make sure you share it.
Make sure you share the links, man,and let people know,
you know, word of mouthis the greatest promotion out there,
you know, tell a friend manand just share it, man.
We appreciate it.

(01:51:29):
And just being being a fan and beinga supporter of was real out here man.
We appreciate it.
And I want to thank youfor calling in the night.
And we salute you, man.
You know, this isthis is what we do it for.
We do it for the people, man.
And we're glad that you guys are payingattention and watching.
Definitely paying attention.

(01:51:50):
Definitely watching it.
Very hands off.
But like,
some aggression needs to be taken, right?
Think about it.
Okay, let's think about it.
Y'all, y'all cut that pipeline. OG.
No, I mean right. Yeah

(01:52:11):
yeah. Yeah. No.
Yeah yeah yeah. Well,
bless a bless holiday season.
You do you do the same
my brother stay up manand have a blessing on you and your family
I won't.
Yes, sir. One.
Man's been blowing up, man.
We had, like, three callers callwhile he was on the line.
You know, I appreciate it, man. For real?Yeah, man.

(01:52:33):
I put the APB out, like.
Yeah, I'll call in.
Like, I'll call it, you know, say so.
You want. Me to reach. Out to RAF?
You know, I mean, he may be some validgood points, right?
You know, onceI got into that, that, omni piano chat
to the other DJ, just like,
What the fuck? Yeah.
Because it's doing on XYZ. Right?

(01:52:54):
So. So I'll just book you guys.
Everything's make an event.
Because the thing is,it's like they get say
you don't know it,you're getting segregated.
You're here, you hear you there,and you're not building,
you know, like a following.You just be the deejay.
Like, and I get it, like,you get the bread.
I was like, you know,there's there's so much more to it.
Like, we can build a movement.
You know, that's the.

(01:53:15):
That's all I've been about, you know,man, like, who can have joy, you know?
You know me.
So is. It true who you have is close?
No, it's not close. No.
Okay.I don't know where I heard that for a man.
Yeah. No, no, no. Okay, okay.
That's the.
That's the dope spot, man. Very dope spot.
Thank you. Yeah, man.So you should love something.

(01:53:35):
Always love the damn.
And then, you know,
working with flipping friesso we could do the way over
with the chapel and stuff like that.
So it's like, yeah, no, no, you know,hear him say that just like you got.
I got my mindgot my mind spinning right now.
You know, I've been told DK nasty.
He's been telling me how,you know, his ideas and his plans,
and I just feel like we all just got toget together, and everyone told the plan.

(01:53:56):
Then we just put it like we'll stopeverybody from doing this a venue, right?
Hell no man.We booked the venue with you in.
The venue and make the money ourselves,you know what I'm saying?
So we know that we know a few dope venues.
So that's the easy point.
I just, I think people don't know people.
So it's just like, oh, well,he he gets this, pay this, or he probably
greedy or nah,the thing is like he might he might take a

(01:54:18):
pay cut.
But if you give him merch or even forthe bar, right, you know what I'm saying?
Or like, hey, if you buy this, this openbar ticket, you get him.
You know, I'm saying so,so many different ways.
So many ways. Yeah, definitely.
Definitely that man.
Yeah, yeah, I definitely took,
you know, what he said, you know,is definitely some things to think about.

(01:54:42):
And, you know,
and it's good to hear people that,
you know, kind of feel the way they feelabout certain things, man.
You know, that's like so yeah. So,you know, you got it.
I mean it might be the thing to whereit's like when you when you do interviews,
you have one DJ, one artistand then boom, you know me now that
that can cause some small things like,you know, playing my song.
And then he might be like,because you're not fucking Poppy.

(01:55:03):
Yeah, but you got to hear that.
So, you know, I'm saying, like,if you got at least if this weekend,
if you ain't got at least two venue,that's not, that's not,
that's if you even got two venuesthat's not playing your music.
You're not popping.
You're not popping at least two, right?
Is that not that many in Tampa? Exactly.
So two.
That's all. That's. Yeah, I have to,but it's not about me.

(01:55:23):
I'm just sayingif you don't have to rhyme,
then you shouldn't be complainingabout shit.
Shit at all.Because there's a bunch of niggas here.
If you pay them, they'll play your. Shitright is out there.
But if you're not.
If you're not popping,you ain't going to do it.
And that's okay.
Is this like,you have to just like, figure out
what your niche and stuff like that.
You know me, I'm somebody where I don'tI don't really like to be in the club,

(01:55:44):
to be honest with you.I don't say I've lived a life.
I've been a promoter, I've done that shit.
So for me it's like, yeah, deja vu. Right?
And a beautiful thing is, iswhen you're reckless, can get spending.
You ain't nowhere near that spot.
When people call you,hey, yo, bro, I'm in the club.
Listen, what they playingin the background and, you know.
Schism in season.And that's that's my guy.
