you're all grown up now.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I mean, yeah, nah Straight up.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, you can't forget who you, who you were
when you were a kid, becausethat's when the whole world was
in front of you, and it still is.
You just don't see it that wayanymore when you're an adult,
but it's still there.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, nah, straight up, man, that's the deck for
drive, though that should be thedrive exactly exactly, but yeah
, well, look at you started intomusic.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I know you've been at it for for quite a, for quite a
minute now.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, you know, in in professional studio since I was
15, okay, 32, you know I'm 32and shit.
So for the most part 18 years,I've been in a professional
studio setting.
But as far as me singing, I'vebeen singing since I was two.
So, yeah, two years old singingSpanish music and then getting
into my teens doing the R&B andThen figure it out, you know, my
(07:15):
early 20s, probably like 17, 18years old, when I discovered,
like like Gucci main and it wasearly 2000s, so that's kind of
what the fundamentals come fromman Like like the air, the air
of music I was able to adapt to,from having like older brothers
and older sisters and shit likethat.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right yeah, what wanted what?
What inspired you to getinvolved in?
Like to be an entertainer, tobe just in music.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'm being a hundred percent honest, bro.
I like the attention.
I've always been that kind ofperson.
I remember being like probablylike Six or seven years old.
I'm in the middle of SanAntonio during the think-off
yesterday, having April, and I'mdancing with random people and
I'm, you know, six, seven yearsold in a dance floor, dancing
(08:04):
with older people and justvibing and I don't know.
I like that attention, man.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I like that attention .
You're just all eyes on me typeof person.
I like that.
I'm the same way, bro.
I'm saying way we were havingwe're at like a work get
together.
It's like a little party orwhatever.
I work and we're gonna play acornhole.
Never, I play like four gamesof cornhole in my life and
everybody's like I don't want toplay because there's too many
(08:29):
people watching.
I'm like that's the best timeto play, that's the best time to
do it.
Yeah, yeah, action is right atthe middle.
Let's do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah oh, what kindof singer would you classify
yourself as?
Like R&B, you know, just kindof little hip hopper.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's.
You know that that's somethingI've been battling with for
years, like okay.
Exactly what kind of particularartist, because I, like I said,
I grew up singing like boys tomen and and then you know that's
, that's the soulful shit.
And then you get like thesteady tone from backstreet boys
and you just kind of put themall in one pot and yeah,
(09:12):
technically it is R&B.
So I guess you can consider mean R&B artist, but I think for
the most part like theversatility, being able to put
it in my rap music and not thatit's not being done, it's just
it's not being done like me,yeah.
So so if I can classify myselfas a, it's like I'm declassified
(09:35):
.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Starting my own category.
God damn it.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Honestly, like it's whatever the feelings, because
I'm going to reggaeton song andthen the next thing, you know,
I'm doing an R&B song and thenI'm doing like a street rap song
, like it's whatever.
Whatever beat catches myattention is what I'm gonna feel
.
So you know, the demographic,aiming towards demographics, is
like Not having one soliddemographic, is having multiple
(10:01):
demographics Okay, whether it belike a universal sound or Just
having like a solid rapfoundation where, bar for bar,
you know, somebody canappreciate the bar, somebody can
appreciate the love songs, this, that so I don't know, man, I
can't put my finger on it.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Still, Just yeah this is how you're doing.
It's it, yeah, it's.
It's amazing because you'relike so diverse, like I've heard
you in down pat with Drupal Mand AB and SOB.
I think I was in the two andthat, that song that hits hard,
you know, and you still have thelit.
You slept, like the, the softlyrics behind it too, that which
(10:39):
makes it I'll catch you too,and which makes it stick into
people's heads.
But then you, then you alsohave, like you, like you said,
the love songs out there, andit's just amazing that you're so
diverse and just and just likein your art.
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, man, it's, it's .
It's a blessing, man, it's ablessing.
But also to you know, now I'mable to clear shit up because
it's like I'm looked at as onespecific thing in the city that
I'm in as like, oh, he's thehook dude, he's the guy you can
sing, getting for your hooks it.
But like I don't just sing youknow what I mean Like I don't
(11:14):
want to just put myself in a boxI'm.
I want people to know like Icould do a rap verse, I could do
Whatever it is that you'relooking for.
As far as you know, if you wantsinging, of course I'll kill
the singing shit, but don'tforget like, hey, man, your boy
raps too.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Boys got bars too.
So shit, shit, yeah.
But uh, what has it been likeyour best performance of your
career so far?
Like, can you put, like, putlike a stamp on it, like the one
concert or one gig that youjust like crushed it?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I feel like, uh man, south by Southwest 2016.
Man, I went out there and IKilled a little showcase out
there with a good like 300,little 300 crowd.
Okay, so good, I got a goodreaction, I got to network with
people.
It just felt like genuine, youknow, I mean cuz it wasn't
(12:06):
nobody I knew.
We all went to Austin.
It was a big old deal, like youknow, I mean, and I didn't know
anybody in the room but Shit,at the end of the performance
they they really had like cameup to me and really dat me up
and Let me know, like, man, yougot something, your talented, I
mean.
I still here to the day, youknow.
I mean it's like a weird thingcuz, even though I like
(12:27):
attention To a certain extent,man, I'm a very like anti social
person.
I'm a very I'm a hermit.
I like chilling by myself andit feels weird when I get
approached in public, whenpeople do recognize me, or when
they like oh man, you're T-Rez,but you know face, because it's
hard, man, I go until this pointwith the whole Facebook thing
or Instagram.
I really wasn't like yo, lookat me, I'm T-Rez, right, they
(12:51):
kind of just fell my lap.
Now it's like.
So when people do approach me,it's a weird feeling.
Bro, it's nice I'm, you can getused to it's.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You're like a was it cuz.
Sometimes when I the my firsttime I got approached in public.
I was like really shy.
I was just like yeah, hi, hey,what's going on?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And I was like oh, shit.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
This is really.
This is what's going to happen.
Like, once people start seeingme and watch, this is what's
going to happen.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
So I kind of have to wrap your mind around that, that
people are gonna recognize youand yeah, and, and the thing too
, man, like people were toocaught up on like jewelry and
Backing bro, you ask anybodythat I?
Kick it with it really knows me.
I don't rock the jewelry, Idon't rock the fancy shit.
Man, hey look, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna slide in Some, somebasketball shorts and a shirt I
(13:37):
would do with a hat.
You feel me like.
I'm basic as it comes, so eventhough the music, kind of you
know, bleeds through and makesit seem like I'm some kind of
super, whatever the fuck man,I'm the chillest dude, bro.
I'm like the most basic dudeyou can meet.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, exactly, I'll go to your wedding and some
flies on some shit like that.
Speaker 2 (14:02):

Speaker 4 (14:11):
They cold shit, bro.
Like the top faction.
Shit don't really Amuse me asmore man Look like do you have
good music?
That's how I want to put it outthere, like yeah, I may come a
certain way, yeah, I may look acertain way, but I did look.
I'm gonna let my music speakfor itself.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Exactly exactly.
The actions speak louder thanwords that Warren Buffett mode
man you would know.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Warren Buffett got billions of dollars.
He telling this fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, they do.
Is like wearing like LikeHawaiian t-shirts and shorts all
the damn time running around aflip-flops.

That was Jimmy Buffett with theflip-flops, wasn't it yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
even that.
That man, warren Bucket, thatold ass dude, he just he's look,

He said he only carries like500 in his wallet.
At a time how you got a billiondollars and you fell humble to
carry this 500 and that's reallythe tip people and be like here

just tip money.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah we're on with tip money in your pocket, yeah
that.
Plastic, of milk though, butyeah.
But yeah, it's just amazing howlike some people are so humble
when they have so much.
But so maybe because they haveso much, it would be so humble.
(15:34):
If here's an off-topic questionIf you were rich as hell let's
say you had Warren Buffett moneyWould you be like that or you'd
be all uptight under g5?
Speaker 4 (15:45):

People in the comments outthere, if you know how much is

Like when you see it, Like Iwould never buy it.
Don't be honest, because, let'sbe honest, what they put in
there, it's, it's garbage.
There's a reason why it's oneblunt and it's 80 bucks, because
it's garbage.
Speaker 4 (18:11):

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, but yeah, if you could perform with like any,
let's say, any artist, anysinger, songwriter, hip-hop
artist that you would, that youwant, who would that be?
Frank Ocean.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Frank Ocean.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Okay, like any reason .
Speaker 4 (19:30):
That's my favorite artist period has done.
Okay over anybody, like OverMichael Jackson, over over James
Brown, like like easy's thatfor me right, name my daughter,
get my daughter a portion ofthat name.
You know what I mean okay.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:56):

You don't hear Frank Ocean alot, though, when you ask people
that you don't hear Frank Oceana lot, yeah yeah, that's cool.
Yeah, that's dope, you know.
Side the box on that one.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, genius writer, like His production, whoever
does his production.
I know he's very, you know,involved in his production, but
whoever is behind it is Is agenius.
Yeah, how they can go from likethe same song be like eight
minutes long.
Half of the song is one part ofthe song and then it
transitions into a whole newbeat.
(20:32):
Right, yeah, part painted tothe first part of the song.
So it's like dude, you're, yourmind is too creative, bro, like
you're on a whole new level.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
We're gonna be honest with you I've never listened to
Frank Ocean.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Man, you'd be surprised, bro, I gotta shoot
you some records.
Man Like, yeah, I'm likechanging shit That'll make you
really like Decide.
Like wow, man is my favoriteartist.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Like a true artist like this.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Hey, you know, for me it was a young thug for the
longest time.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, bro, thug was like a big influence in my music
, which is why I was able toutilize like the voice and in my
rap shit.
Okay way up kind of I don'tknow if you hear it and way up,
that's like an influence, andway up.
You know what I mean.
Yeah.
I don't want to likeparticularly take, take, like,
take, take, take from them,mm-hmm.
(21:23):
But it's just almost like whenyou're influenced by somebody,
that kind of like it eithershows or it doesn't, and if it
doesn't, kind of executed it inyour own way.
But if it shows, then a there'snothing wrong with paying
diamonds to Somebody as good asDoug man, right?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
There's yeah, you see , you do see a lot of that, but
it it comes with everything,though it like even in sports he
comes with that.
Like you see this one playercopy this player and then it
mold it into their own.
So you see it everywhere.
I don't see how it's, how it'sa problem.
Comedians you see it a lot withjokes.
The repurpose a joke and remoldit and then retell it.
Right, you see some peoplegetting trouble with it that way
(22:00):
.
Not so much in music, though.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Yeah, it's not so much done in music.
I think in music is kind offrowned upon.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, yes.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
But you know, being an artist, there's a different,
there's a different vision asfar as being an artist and
seeing it on our standpoint,like it's just.
It's just one song, it may notever get heard, and that song
may translate into the next songand it be, you know, similar
but still different.
And then you start going inyour own direction.
You find that's what they meanby finding yourself as an artist
(22:32):
.
You got to go through theselittle phases in life where
you're taking from certainartists and that's who
influences you, and then it'skind of like they all build you
into this artist, that now yousound like yourself right.
I think that's kind of where I'mat in this, in this point,
because I mean, you know, Iasked the camp who you think we
think I sound like.
Do I sound like anybody likenow, man?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You sound like T res, that's it.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
That's what it is.
You know, 1836 shit right Now.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
so what was it?
What was the feeling of?
Like just being signed by likean actual label, like not having
an actual worry about thestudio time and paying for the
music videos, hotel stays duringtours and all that?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I mean it feels good, bro.
It feels like it's a blessingin itself because you work so
hard, for I mean you know and Iknow a lot of people are great
there's.
It sucks that people are greatand Kind of don't get the
opportunity I have right now anddon't get the opportunity to be
signed to a major label or anindie label or anything.
So, Like most of it, man isgratefulness.
(23:41):
You can wake up and be like man.
I signed that piece of paperlike I'm legit.
Now right, it's the self-doubtgone, pretty much Right right.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
So I felt when I got my blue check mark, it is yeah,
it is in a way, in anaccomplishment that I have to
pay for monthly.
But yeah, it's in a way.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
But hey, whatever you got to do to make it, man
there's no limit when in this inthis game.
There's no limits to what yougot to do to make it like you
gotta.
You got to be willing to pay toplay Mm-hmm.
You got to, you know, bewilling to sacrifice and that's,
that's the advice you got togive the people.
You know I'm saying like thesacrifice, leaving your family
(24:28):
for a certain amount of time or,you know, doing something you
may not think you can do withemotionally or mentally, like
All that's about the roof manwhen you sign them papers and
you got to be on the go bro,like there's no more Uh, holding
back.
It's like either you give it ayaw, your all, you just sign
that paper for no reason, likeright.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's right.
Yeah, if people say just like,don't there's, if you're not
making any money doing what youlove, then why do you keep doing
it if you're not making anymoney?
Because, well, the answer isbecause you love it and Because
this is all building tosomething like.
You don't get paid at thebeginning, you get paid Like
towards, like the, the peak ofyour career yeah.
(25:11):
Then you get paid for the past,of all the hard work and
accomplishments and sacrificethat you got for.
That's what you get paid forwhen it times, when your time
comes.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yeah, man, like that's the conversation me and
my merch do have.
You know, shout out, you know,grab three, six, one the dude.
We have those conversations allthe time.
Like you know, businesses,business, man, this shit, uh,
it's not for the week, I knowthat, for damn shit, but we had
those conversations all the time.
(25:41):
Man, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
You touch on that becausethat's like a that's a daily
topic, something you gotta talkabout.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, you say it's, it's, it's, it's hard, like when
you're doing something that youfile it.
You're following your heart,you're doing what you want, and
then it's hard when you don'tsee the instant replica.
Yeah, you don't see the instantrewards like nowadays, everyone
wants to be a good person.
It's everyone wants it now andwants it now.
Wants it now, wants it now.
No one this wants, like youknow.
(26:08):
Grind it out for five, six, ten, twenty years, they get
rewarded.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You know, look at me.
For 18 years I've been at thisshit.
Do I get frustrated with it?
Fuck yeah, you know what I mean.
Like, but you don't walk intothis shit thinking like, oh man,
I can't do it, I'm gonna, I'mgonna give up at a certain point
because I mean, that's, that'swhere, if you've done this long
enough Enough as an artist, youknow that they're like man, I
just want to walk away from thisand ain't doing that to for me,
(26:35):
I've been doing it too long.
But like what if you justneeded two more shovel full?
You know what I mean.
You just needed to dig thatshovel down in the dirt two more
times, throw it over your backand treasure chest is right
there.
You know what I'm saying.
Like you could be that close inlife and and you complain so
much about what you don't have.
(26:56):
But it takes a little bit morework than yesterday.
Right you know I mean.
So I think you know anybody canget anywhere if you just have
that consistency and work.
So, I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, I think that's why thelabel fucks with who they fuck
with.
You know what I mean.
Like it's a doggy dog world.
Who's gonna make the good music?
(27:17):
Who's gonna be able to beself-sufficient and really like
stand on their own?
And I mean they fuck with whothey fuck with for a reason you
know I mean right, you gottahave, you gotta have that want
to the one.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, so even if you're not, even if you don't
get paid for it, you're like you, would you still do it?
Yes, of course, of course Ilove it, so why not?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, man, doing it this long without getting paid
you know why quit now rightexactly but yeah uh.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
So I had a question, I lined up and now I'm all, I'm
all high and shit.
But what, what is your, what isyour opinion about how like
hip-hop is going nowadays?
Like little nizags and allthese NBA, like NBA young boy Is
that his name?
Yeah, NBA young boy and yeahwhen all these, all these new
(28:09):
artists is breaking the stream.
It's not like to me.
It sounds like all they want todo is be little Wayne in the
sense Music like I.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
You know, I have conversations like this too with
the homies like Mm-hmm.
The shit ain't like it used tobe.
I used to listen to Waynebecause the shitty would say
right, metaphors, you know,wordplay, all that, all the gene
, poetic shit, almost in a sensepoetic shit, where you could
really like, really pick apartwhat he's saying and it almost
(28:39):
make you like say, fuck man, Icould have said that shit or I
could have thought of to saythat.
But yeah, man, look when he wason some other shit.
Nowadays you ask somebody whatthey like about the song, it's
like man, the beats good.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah, but but do you hear what that man saying?
But even at that, you can'tthese days, because nine times
out of ten the content ain'tnothing.
But yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, or.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Like what?
What are you basing?
What are you basing music offof nowadays?
So I don't know, man, it'sgoing in a downhill Direction
for me when.
I was like yo hip-hop is dead.
Yeah, like there was a reasonhe said that shit, cuz he saw
what he saw, what it was turninginto.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, like it's, I don't know it's like mainstream,
I would.
I would go as far as sayingmainstream hip-hop is, I don't
say dead, but it's on its way,and I think independent hip-hop
is picking it up.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I hope so, man.
Yeah cuz, I see I.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Have a bunch of independent artists on my
playlist that I'd rather listento than Nowadays.
People like artists nowadays.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Definitely, man.
There's like there was like aease out of Dallas, pat run out
of Dallas.
You know local, local peopleoutside hood, them in San
Antonio, like Underground shitthat you would never hear on the
radio because how gutter it is.
But man, it just kind of bringsback that old-school Gutter but
(30:13):
in a new, modern way where youcan understand them.
They're speaking about somereal shit.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I like that kind of music.
I like that kind of shit rightnow, you know I mean so.
So I tend to make music likethat and it may not be what
people expect for me to make.
That's why I'm saying, likewhat's on my album is is Is a
lot different than what peopleare used to, because now I'm
able to do this shit I want todo.
Now I'm not saying I'm notgonna incorporate like my
(30:39):
singing shit in the album, butbut there's definitely gonna be
like a twist.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh, so you're like you're leaning towards the
hip-hop scene, or yeah, man.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
So like the album is called two, the album is called
two tone.
Me being from San Antonio, youknow tone and then you know to
tone.
As far as paint job, it's liketwo different colors, two
different sides of the spectrum.
You got the rap rest and thenyou got the R&B res.
So there's gonna be the R&Brecords, there's gonna be the
(31:11):
hip-hop records and Everythingin between.
Man, it's just gonna be crazy.
It's gonna be crazy man.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Oh nice, so yeah.
So I was just gonna ask youabout your future plans, but it
looks like we're dabbling intoit.
Yeah, so are you gonna put outlike a whole record or you just
gonna go with like EPs from fora little bit?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
You know I, my whole thing is I'm doing album shit.
You know I mean like like in inthat album, I'm gonna sit down
with the label, pick out whatexactly.
You know what's, what songsthey want me to use as singles,
what the people are reacting to.
You know what I mean.
So, right, get the snippetstogether, get the album together
(31:51):

I mean it's, it's a progressright now.
You know I mean I got shit at a, several different studios
being worked on, severaldifferent producers I'm working

you're all grown up now.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I mean, yeah, nah Straight up.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, you can't forget who you, who you were
when you were a kid, becausethat's when the whole world was
in front of you, and it still is.
You just don't see it that wayanymore when you're an adult,
but it's still there.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, nah, straight up, man, that's the deck for
drive, though that should be thedrive exactly exactly, but yeah
, well, look at you started intomusic.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I know you've been at it for for quite a, for quite a
minute now.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, you know, in in professional studio since I was
15, okay, 32, you know I'm 32and shit.
So for the most part 18 years,I've been in a professional
studio setting.
But as far as me singing, I'vebeen singing since I was two.
So, yeah, two years old singingSpanish music and then getting
into my teens doing the R&B andThen figure it out, you know, my
(07:15):
early 20s, probably like 17, 18years old, when I discovered,
like like Gucci main and it wasearly 2000s, so that's kind of
what the fundamentals come fromman Like like the air, the air
of music I was able to adapt to,from having like older brothers
and older sisters and shit likethat.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right yeah, what wanted what?
What inspired you to getinvolved in?
Like to be an entertainer, tobe just in music.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'm being a hundred percent honest, bro.
I like the attention.
I've always been that kind ofperson.
I remember being like probablylike Six or seven years old.
I'm in the middle of SanAntonio during the think-off
yesterday, having April, and I'mdancing with random people and
I'm, you know, six, seven yearsold in a dance floor, dancing
(08:04):
with older people and justvibing and I don't know.
I like that attention, man.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I like that attention .
You're just all eyes on me typeof person.
I like that.
I'm the same way, bro.
I'm saying way we were havingwe're at like a work get
together.
It's like a little party orwhatever.
I work and we're gonna play acornhole.
Never, I play like four gamesof cornhole in my life and
everybody's like I don't want toplay because there's too many
(08:29):
people watching.
I'm like that's the best timeto play, that's the best time to
do it.
Yeah, yeah, action is right atthe middle.
Let's do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah oh, what kindof singer would you classify
yourself as?
Like R&B, you know, just kindof little hip hopper.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's.
You know that that's somethingI've been battling with for
years, like okay.
Exactly what kind of particularartist, because I, like I said,
I grew up singing like boys tomen and and then you know that's
, that's the soulful shit.
And then you get like thesteady tone from backstreet boys
and you just kind of put themall in one pot and yeah,
(09:12):
technically it is R&B.
So I guess you can consider mean R&B artist, but I think for
the most part like theversatility, being able to put
it in my rap music and not thatit's not being done, it's just
it's not being done like me,yeah.
So so if I can classify myselfas a, it's like I'm declassified
(09:35):
.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Starting my own category.
God damn it.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Honestly, like it's whatever the feelings, because
I'm going to reggaeton song andthen the next thing, you know,
I'm doing an R&B song and thenI'm doing like a street rap song
, like it's whatever.
Whatever beat catches myattention is what I'm gonna feel
.
So you know, the demographic,aiming towards demographics, is
like Not having one soliddemographic, is having multiple
(10:01):
demographics Okay, whether it belike a universal sound or Just
having like a solid rapfoundation where, bar for bar,
you know, somebody canappreciate the bar, somebody can
appreciate the love songs, this, that so I don't know, man, I
can't put my finger on it.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Still, Just yeah this is how you're doing.
It's it, yeah, it's.
It's amazing because you'relike so diverse, like I've heard
you in down pat with Drupal Mand AB and SOB.
I think I was in the two andthat, that song that hits hard,
you know, and you still have thelit.
You slept, like the, the softlyrics behind it too, that which
(10:39):
makes it I'll catch you too,and which makes it stick into
people's heads.
But then you, then you alsohave, like you, like you said,
the love songs out there, andit's just amazing that you're so
diverse and just and just likein your art.
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, man, it's, it's .
It's a blessing, man, it's ablessing.
But also to you know, now I'mable to clear shit up because
it's like I'm looked at as onespecific thing in the city that
I'm in as like, oh, he's thehook dude, he's the guy you can
sing, getting for your hooks it.
But like I don't just sing youknow what I mean Like I don't
(11:14):
want to just put myself in a boxI'm.
I want people to know like Icould do a rap verse, I could do
Whatever it is that you'relooking for.
As far as you know, if you wantsinging, of course I'll kill
the singing shit, but don'tforget like, hey, man, your boy
raps too.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Boys got bars too.
So shit, shit, yeah.
But uh, what has it been likeyour best performance of your
career so far?
Like, can you put, like, putlike a stamp on it, like the one
concert or one gig that youjust like crushed it?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I feel like, uh man, south by Southwest 2016.
Man, I went out there and IKilled a little showcase out
there with a good like 300,little 300 crowd.
Okay, so good, I got a goodreaction, I got to network with
people.
It just felt like genuine, youknow, I mean cuz it wasn't
(12:06):
nobody I knew.
We all went to Austin.
It was a big old deal, like youknow, I mean, and I didn't know
anybody in the room but Shit,at the end of the performance
they they really had like cameup to me and really dat me up
and Let me know, like, man, yougot something, your talented, I
mean.
I still here to the day, youknow.
I mean it's like a weird thingcuz, even though I like
(12:27):
attention To a certain extent,man, I'm a very like anti social
person.
I'm a very I'm a hermit.
I like chilling by myself andit feels weird when I get
approached in public, whenpeople do recognize me, or when
they like oh man, you're T-Rez,but you know face, because it's
hard, man, I go until this pointwith the whole Facebook thing
or Instagram.
I really wasn't like yo, lookat me, I'm T-Rez, right, they
(12:51):
kind of just fell my lap.
Now it's like.
So when people do approach me,it's a weird feeling.
Bro, it's nice I'm, you can getused to it's.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You're like a was it cuz.
Sometimes when I the my firsttime I got approached in public.
I was like really shy.
I was just like yeah, hi, hey,what's going on?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And I was like oh, shit.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
This is really.
This is what's going to happen.
Like, once people start seeingme and watch, this is what's
going to happen.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
So I kind of have to wrap your mind around that, that
people are gonna recognize youand yeah, and, and the thing too
, man, like people were toocaught up on like jewelry and
Backing bro, you ask anybodythat I?
Kick it with it really knows me.
I don't rock the jewelry, Idon't rock the fancy shit.
Man, hey look, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna slide in Some, somebasketball shorts and a shirt I
(13:37):

I'm basic as it comes, so eventhough the music, kind of you
know, bleeds through and makesit seem like I'm some kind of
super, whatever the fuck man,I'm the chillest dude, bro.
I'm like the most basic dudeyou can meet.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:54):

good music?
That's how I want to put it outthere, like yeah, I may come a
certain way, yeah, I may look acertain way, but I did look.
I'm gonna let my music speakfor itself.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Exactly exactly.
The actions speak louder thanwords that Warren Buffett mode
man you would know.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Warren Buffett got billions of dollars.
He telling this fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, they do.
Is like wearing like LikeHawaiian t-shirts and shorts all
the damn time running around aflip-flops.

That was Jimmy Buffett with theflip-flops, wasn't it yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
even that.
That man, warren Bucket, thatold ass dude, he just he's look,

He said he only carries like500 in his wallet.
At a time how you got a billiondollars and you fell humble to
carry this 500 and that's reallythe tip people and be like here

just tip money.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah we're on with tip money in your pocket, yeah
that.
Plastic, of milk though, butyeah.
But yeah, it's just amazing howlike some people are so humble
when they have so much.
But so maybe because they haveso much, it would be so humble.
(15:34):
If here's an off-topic questionIf you were rich as hell let's
say you had Warren Buffett moneyWould you be like that or you'd
be all uptight under g5?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Nah, man, I'm like the most.
The only way you can be able totell if I made it like that is
by what I'm driving Cuz even atthat I'm.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Some super blunt.

.
Man, we have those that aredispensaries.
Yeah, there's a whole there's.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It's not an ounce and a half, it's like a whole ounce
and it's like a you know bluntthis long I.
Even yeah, it's like I Don't.
I've never bought it so Ireally can't put pinpoint the
price, but I'm guessing it'slike 80 bucks.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Damn like an ounce.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's like an ounce of it, something I don't know.
People in the comments outthere, if you know how much is
already pre-rode, or it's justthe wrapping.
So no, it's already pre-rolledit was handed to.
Comes in like a big-ass to Likea poster would, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Bro, I'm going down.
I'm going down there soon, bro,I might just have to go take a
whole film crew out there, like,do a whole video with that shit
.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's just, it's dope.
Like when you see it, Like Iwould never buy it.
Don't be honest, because, let'sbe honest, what they put in
there, it's, it's garbage.
There's a reason why it's oneblunt and it's 80 bucks, because
it's garbage.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I mean, you're probably gonna get some feeling
with some good man right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I'm like you might as well just buy you might as well
just buy the rap itself andfill it yourself.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
But, yeah, I think they got wraps down like that.
Over here in Corpus man.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I think it was a a Cheech and Chong record.
It was like the old vinyl andit came with a big inside the
vinyl.
You could open the book and itcame with a big-ass paper.
See, that's what I'm trying tosmoke with, bro.
It was like this long.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, I'm trying to smoke with teaching Chong one
day.
You know I'm saying hurry up,hurry up and blow me up
everybody so I can get out thereand smoke with these dudes
before they go.
I.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Did some hollerin out there, I might.
I might have a surprise guestcoming up.
There's so many peoplelistening speaking of Cheech and
Chong, so I'm working on it.
Man trying to get Tommy Chongon the show, I'm working on it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
That's cool man.
I hope you do.
I hope you can get them onthere.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, but yeah, if you could perform with like any,
let's say, any artist, anysinger, songwriter, hip-hop
artist that you would, that youwant, who would that be?
Frank Ocean.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Frank Ocean.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Okay, like any reason .
Speaker 4 (19:30):
That's my favorite artist period has done.
Okay over anybody, like OverMichael Jackson, over over James
Brown, like like easy's thatfor me right, name my daughter,
get my daughter a portion ofthat name.
You know what I mean okay.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, he's good.
Yeah, you don't.
You don't hear Frank Ocean alot, though, when you ask people
that you don't hear Frank Oceana lot, yeah yeah, that's cool.
Yeah, that's dope, you know.
Side the box on that one.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, genius writer, like His production, whoever
does his production.
I know he's very, you know,involved in his production, but
whoever is behind it is Is agenius.
Yeah, how they can go from likethe same song be like eight
minutes long.
Half of the song is one part ofthe song and then it
transitions into a whole newbeat.
(20:32):
Right, yeah, part painted tothe first part of the song.
So it's like dude, you're, yourmind is too creative, bro, like
you're on a whole new level.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
We're gonna be honest with you I've never listened to
Frank Ocean.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Man, you'd be surprised, bro, I gotta shoot
you some records.
Man Like, yeah, I'm likechanging shit That'll make you
really like Decide.
Like wow, man is my favoriteartist.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Like a true artist like this.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Hey, you know, for me it was a young thug for the
longest time.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, bro, thug was like a big influence in my music
, which is why I was able toutilize like the voice and in my
rap shit.
Okay way up kind of I don'tknow if you hear it and way up,
that's like an influence, andway up.
You know what I mean.
Yeah.
I don't want to likeparticularly take, take, like,
take, take, take from them,mm-hmm.
(21:23):
But it's just almost like whenyou're influenced by somebody,
that kind of like it eithershows or it doesn't, and if it
doesn't, kind of executed it inyour own way.
But if it shows, then a there'snothing wrong with paying
diamonds to Somebody as good asDoug man, right?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
There's yeah, you see , you do see a lot of that, but
it it comes with everything,though it like even in sports he
comes with that.
Like you see this one playercopy this player and then it
mold it into their own.
So you see it everywhere.
I don't see how it's, how it'sa problem.
Comedians you see it a lot withjokes.
The repurpose a joke and remoldit and then retell it.
Right, you see some peoplegetting trouble with it that way
(22:00):
.
Not so much in music, though.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Yeah, it's not so much done in music.
I think in music is kind offrowned upon.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, yes.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
But you know, being an artist, there's a different,
there's a different vision asfar as being an artist and
seeing it on our standpoint,like it's just.
It's just one song, it may notever get heard, and that song
may translate into the next songand it be, you know, similar
but still different.
And then you start going inyour own direction.
You find that's what they meanby finding yourself as an artist
(22:32):
.
You got to go through theselittle phases in life where
you're taking from certainartists and that's who
influences you, and then it'skind of like they all build you
into this artist, that now yousound like yourself right.
I think that's kind of where I'mat in this, in this point,
because I mean, you know, Iasked the camp who you think we
think I sound like.
Do I sound like anybody likenow, man?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You sound like T res, that's it.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
That's what it is.
You know, 1836 shit right Now.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
so what was it?
What was the feeling of?
Like just being signed by likean actual label, like not having
an actual worry about thestudio time and paying for the
music videos, hotel stays duringtours and all that?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I mean it feels good, bro.
It feels like it's a blessingin itself because you work so
hard, for I mean you know and Iknow a lot of people are great
there's.
It sucks that people are greatand Kind of don't get the
opportunity I have right now anddon't get the opportunity to be
signed to a major label or anindie label or anything.
So, Like most of it, man isgratefulness.
(23:41):
You can wake up and be like man.
I signed that piece of paperlike I'm legit.
Now right, it's the self-doubtgone, pretty much Right right.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
So I felt when I got my blue check mark, it is yeah,
it is in a way, in anaccomplishment that I have to
pay for monthly.
But yeah, it's in a way.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
But hey, whatever you got to do to make it, man
there's no limit when in this inthis game.
There's no limits to what yougot to do to make it like you
gotta.
You got to be willing to pay toplay Mm-hmm.
You got to, you know, bewilling to sacrifice and that's,
that's the advice you got togive the people.
You know I'm saying like thesacrifice, leaving your family
(24:28):
for a certain amount of time or,you know, doing something you
may not think you can do withemotionally or mentally, like
All that's about the roof manwhen you sign them papers and
you got to be on the go bro,like there's no more Uh, holding
back.
It's like either you give it ayaw, your all, you just sign
that paper for no reason, likeright.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's right.
Yeah, if people say just like,don't there's, if you're not
making any money doing what youlove, then why do you keep doing
it if you're not making anymoney?
Because, well, the answer isbecause you love it and Because
this is all building tosomething like.
You don't get paid at thebeginning, you get paid Like
towards, like the, the peak ofyour career yeah.
(25:11):
Then you get paid for the past,of all the hard work and
accomplishments and sacrificethat you got for.
That's what you get paid forwhen it times, when your time
comes.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yeah, man, like that's the conversation me and
my merch do have.
You know, shout out, you know,grab three, six, one the dude.
We have those conversations allthe time.
Like you know, businesses,business, man, this shit, uh,
it's not for the week, I knowthat, for damn shit, but we had
those conversations all the time.
(25:41):
Man, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
You touch on that becausethat's like a that's a daily
topic, something you gotta talkabout.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, you say it's, it's, it's, it's hard, like when
you're doing something that youfile it.
You're following your heart,you're doing what you want, and
then it's hard when you don'tsee the instant replica.
Yeah, you don't see the instantrewards like nowadays, everyone
wants to be a good person.
It's everyone wants it now andwants it now.
Wants it now, wants it now.
No one this wants, like youknow.
(26:08):
Grind it out for five, six, ten, twenty years, they get
rewarded.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You know, look at me.
For 18 years I've been at thisshit.
Do I get frustrated with it?
Fuck yeah, you know what I mean.
Like, but you don't walk intothis shit thinking like, oh man,
I can't do it, I'm gonna, I'mgonna give up at a certain point
because I mean, that's, that'swhere, if you've done this long
enough Enough as an artist, youknow that they're like man, I
just want to walk away from thisand ain't doing that to for me,
(26:35):
I've been doing it too long.
But like what if you justneeded two more shovel full?
You know what I mean.
You just needed to dig thatshovel down in the dirt two more
times, throw it over your backand treasure chest is right
there.
You know what I'm saying.
Like you could be that close inlife and and you complain so
much about what you don't have.
(26:56):
But it takes a little bit morework than yesterday.
Right you know I mean.
So I think you know anybody canget anywhere if you just have
that consistency and work.
So, I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, I think that's why thelabel fucks with who they fuck
with.
You know what I mean.
Like it's a doggy dog world.
Who's gonna make the good music?
(27:17):
Who's gonna be able to beself-sufficient and really like
stand on their own?
And I mean they fuck with whothey fuck with for a reason you
know I mean right, you gottahave, you gotta have that want
to the one.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, so even if you're not, even if you don't
get paid for it, you're like you, would you still do it?
Yes, of course, of course Ilove it, so why not?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, man, doing it this long without getting paid
you know why quit now rightexactly but yeah uh.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
So I had a question, I lined up and now I'm all, I'm
all high and shit.
But what, what is your, what isyour opinion about how like
hip-hop is going nowadays?
Like little nizags and allthese NBA, like NBA young boy Is
that his name?
Yeah, NBA young boy and yeahwhen all these, all these new
(28:09):
artists is breaking the stream.
It's not like to me.
It sounds like all they want todo is be little Wayne in the
sense Music like I.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
You know, I have conversations like this too with
the homies like Mm-hmm.
The shit ain't like it used tobe.
I used to listen to Waynebecause the shitty would say
right, metaphors, you know,wordplay, all that, all the gene
, poetic shit, almost in a sensepoetic shit, where you could
really like, really pick apartwhat he's saying and it almost
(28:39):
make you like say, fuck man, Icould have said that shit or I
could have thought of to saythat.
But yeah, man, look when he wason some other shit.
Nowadays you ask somebody whatthey like about the song, it's
like man, the beats good.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah, but but do you hear what that man saying?
But even at that, you can'tthese days, because nine times
out of ten the content ain'tnothing.
But yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, or.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Like what?
What are you basing?
What are you basing music offof nowadays?
So I don't know, man, it'sgoing in a downhill Direction
for me when.
I was like yo hip-hop is dead.
Yeah, like there was a reasonhe said that shit, cuz he saw
what he saw, what it was turninginto.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, like it's, I don't know it's like mainstream,
I would.
I would go as far as sayingmainstream hip-hop is, I don't
say dead, but it's on its way,and I think independent hip-hop
is picking it up.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I hope so, man.
Yeah cuz, I see I.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Have a bunch of independent artists on my
playlist that I'd rather listento than Nowadays.
People like artists nowadays.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Definitely, man.
There's like there was like aease out of Dallas, pat run out
of Dallas.
You know local, local peopleoutside hood, them in San
Antonio, like Underground shitthat you would never hear on the
radio because how gutter it is.
But man, it just kind of bringsback that old-school Gutter but
(30:13):
in a new, modern way where youcan understand them.
They're speaking about somereal shit.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I like that kind of music.
I like that kind of shit rightnow, you know I mean so.
So I tend to make music likethat and it may not be what
people expect for me to make.
That's why I'm saying, likewhat's on my album is is Is a
lot different than what peopleare used to, because now I'm
able to do this shit I want todo.
Now I'm not saying I'm notgonna incorporate like my
(30:39):
singing shit in the album, butbut there's definitely gonna be
like a twist.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh, so you're like you're leaning towards the
hip-hop scene, or yeah, man.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
So like the album is called two, the album is called
two tone.
Me being from San Antonio, youknow tone and then you know to
tone.
As far as paint job, it's liketwo different colors, two
different sides of the spectrum.
You got the rap rest and thenyou got the R&B res.
So there's gonna be the R&Brecords, there's gonna be the
(31:11):
hip-hop records and Everythingin between.
Man, it's just gonna be crazy.
It's gonna be crazy man.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Oh nice, so yeah.
So I was just gonna ask youabout your future plans, but it
looks like we're dabbling intoit.
Yeah, so are you gonna put outlike a whole record or you just
gonna go with like EPs from fora little bit?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
You know I, my whole thing is I'm doing album shit.
You know I mean like like in inthat album, I'm gonna sit down
with the label, pick out whatexactly.
You know what's, what songsthey want me to use as singles,
what the people are reacting to.
You know what I mean.
So, right, get the snippetstogether, get the album together
(31:51):
.
I mean it's, it's a progressright now.
You know I mean I got shit at a, several different studios
being worked on, severaldifferent producers I'm working
with.
So it feels good, man, it feelsgood, finally an actual project
.
But this, this whole project,is to Lay a foundation down, to
let people know like I'm, thatI'm versatile.
(32:12):
Don't box me in.
Don't say I'm a singer.
