Show Notes

1:30Where Anthony is from and where he is with Covid-19

Desert Storm

7:50The impact of family, support, pressure and guiding youth

“I’m not everybody…”

12:40Soundclick, and getting started as an artist

19:30Making the connections and turning music into a career from a hobby

“It really all goes back to Desert Storm, family and those people guiding me along the way.”

22:48The impact of technology.

“Twitter was one of the keys to succes… Myspace, Twitter, Instagram, these are relatively new 

things to life… Now when Twitter came along its different, because your looking at a feed and its people just writing messages, so I’m on their following people, following artists, and some artists start putting up their emails.”

28:03Pop That by French Montana, and leading up the DJ Khaled

“It was like FAST fast, and I don’t think anybody expected it- I didn’t expect it, I don’t even think 

my people in my corner expected it, nobody expected it. Maybe French expected it- you know like the people that were actually on the song expected it, but as far as the people on the outside looking in, I didn’t expect it.”

38:13Retrospective and what could have been done differently, and what’s next

“I felt like if all that time I spent in those clubs, if I had spent those times in the studio… Who 

knows what I could have done at that specific time.”

43:50“I want to shout out to all the artists I’m working with- there’s a whole list of them- I just want 

them to all know I appreciate them, and we’re going to keep making fire.”
