So I don't know if we you know,I'm not gonna ask you you know,
like some quantum physics stuff, you know, it's just.
Yeah, we're just talking aboutyou.
But I get that.
I just thought I asked thatquestion just because you know
(04:21):
that you're the first personthat says you know, love is the,
the highest vibration I'venever had anybody really is we.
It's a creation energy, like hecreated us, and he loves us, you
know true, true, yeah, yeah,man, okay, all right, let me,
let me go back to um.
(04:41):
Let me go, I'm gonna take youback in the day real quick all
right, so what first pulled youinto music like?
Do you remember that moment youdecided to even start creating
beats?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
well, music and beats
is two different.
You know stories.
I always been around music.
I sang in the church choir.
Um, I always been around music.
But as far as making beats, Iknew I wanted to explore making
(05:17):
beats when I heard littlebrothers the listening I was
like who is this?
mike wonder he uses fruity loops.
What is this?
So I think I was um a cna atthe time and I brought my laptop
to work working graveyard.
I brought my laptop to work andmake these.
It was like a touch and gothing.
(05:37):
I wasn't really serious aboutit, you know, or about putting.
I wasn't even thinking aboutputting anything out at that
moment.
At that time I think it wasaround 2008, you know.
But when I, like a couple yearslater, in 2010, I bought my
first piece of equipment, whichwas the MPD 26, I believe, and
(06:04):
it was like a midi controllerand I would use it with fruity
lubes, and then, later on, formy creation of late bloomer, I
used it in Ableton.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, so that's like
the beginning, right there okay,
is as so the one that you'reseeing right now that you use
for union electric.
Was that the?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
yeah, first piece of
equipment, yeah, yeah yeah I
made that one, I made unionelectric in uh reasons.
It was just me having funexperimenting, you know, with
different sounds that's what.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You know what I'll be
forgetting that part about not
taking it so serious and justhaving fun, and I need to do
that.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I need to get back to
doing that, like I felt like
like each time like I set a barfor myself and if it falls below
the bar, I'm like really I getdiscouraged.
You know what I'm saying?
So no, it's just that.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Is it because you
know you like you reached a new
level, yeah, and you're tryingto like top the last level that
you reached?
Or yeah.
Okay, yeah, I can.
What do they call that man inum psychology man?
They told it uh, uh man, Ican't remember it'll come to me
(07:31):
later.
What imposter syndrome uh, Idon't know about imposter
syndrome, because you know likeevery time we do something, we
always try and we always try andoutdo ourselves yeah, I don't
know what that, what that termis it comes to me, but um, but
okay, so that's how you got,that's how you started making
(07:52):
music in church.
You know, I started in church.
Did y'all have instruments?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
no, I grew up in a
baptist church oh, yeah, y'all
yeah y'all going.
All the choir was alwayspumping on you doom, doom, doom,
doom, doom, you know.
Music is.
You know music is so importantin those spaces because it kind
of sets up the atmosphere.
You know, emotionally strike achord within you to feel
(08:18):
something.
You know what I'm saying Liketo open up your spirit to
receive.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
That's a, that's a
bar right there.
Man Music used to open up yourspirit to receive.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh, I got.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, I got to
remember that one.
Let me ask you something fromwhat you're currently doing
right now.
Ok, so what?
What inspired you to startladies love loops um and put
women at the forefront?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
yeah, ladies, love
loops came out of when, when I
did my first album, I wouldalways try to like get booked
for shows when nobody wasbooking me, like, and I'm like
it's because I'm a woman, woman,but I'm like why don't we start
something, all of them, youknow, just for the ladies?
You know it's reallymale-dominated, you know scene.
(09:13):
So that's when I got togetherand made Lady Love Loops.
Man I did it, you know, to youknow, initially it was like for
producers the first show wasproducers, all like producers
and but it grew to be more likeletting ladies singers, mcs, djs
(09:38):
, as well as producers, come dotheir thing and express
themselves.
And what I really encouragewith Ladies Love Loops is to
expose everybody to each otherfor collaboration.
Speaker 3 (09:53):

Speaker 4 (11:05):

Speaker 3 (11:08):
So let's talk about
your debut album, Union Electric
, which dropped in 2020, right,yeah, so I mean, what did that
project represent for you atthat time?
I know you said you already.
You made it in Reason.
You got the NPD know you werejust experimenting what did?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
that, what did?
That project represent for youwell, it was just me
experimenting, having fun withdifferent sounds and reason and
like a little backstory, like uh, they're not around anymore,
but union electric was actuallya weed brand and um, so they hit
(11:51):
me up.
It's like yo, I like your beat,can you make something, or
whatever.
And by the time I was done withit or whatever, it was like
they went out of business orsomething.
So, yeah, Dang yeah.
So I made that beat on In Reasonand like because I love the
(12:14):
sounds, like where it takes youin reason.
Yeah, I feel like I know youknow this is bad to say but I
feel like Union Electric is likemy major cringe album because
it was just like I didn't care,I was just doing me and it's a
(12:36):
little different.
It's a little.
You can tell that I just gotstarted making beats, you know
far as the drumming andeverything like that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But yeah, that's,
that's union electric yo, you
know, what's crazy is like ourfirst albums, like we all, we
all say it's like man you couldtell, like it was our first one
and stuff like that.
But that will always hold sucha um a good space in our
memories, like when we put thatout to the world, not kept it on
(13:09):
the hard drive, not kept it insome folders or something on
yeah, I have cds, yeah yeah,like you put it out to the world
, man, like what did that feellike to?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
to put that out to
the world and I don't know, at
that point I didn't nobody waspaying attention, real attention
, like at that point nobody waspaying real attention.
At that point I was just kindof in my own world in my
apartment doing my own thing.
I was still 20.
I had just graduated and I saidwhen I graduate I'm going to
(13:39):
spend more time with music.
And really do it, go for it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Nice, I'm glad you
did that, know, I'm glad you did
that, I'm glad you did that.
Did you have support from, like, your family members or you
know anybody like that that waspushing you to say, yes, go,
please go, do that?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
uh, no, not really.
Well, there is one person, um,his name is kwamele.
He's a poet, mc.
I think he made beats too atone point, but he will always
even when the time I wasn'tmaking beats, he will always
like yo, we need you producing,we need women producers.
(14:21):
You know, he would encourage meto make beats.
And so my boy, impact.
He's a MC poet and a new beatmaker right now, so like they
were the only two, that was kindof pushing me to make beats.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
My poetry family.
I come from poetry.
That was like my like after,after music.
That was like kind of like mysecond vehicle.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You know I'm saying
so nice have I have we heard, I
don't think we've heard you spitany, any poetry over your
production.
Have you done that?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
no, no, well yes, I
have, I have and it's one of my.
It's not.
It's not a poem that I'm reallyproud of, but it is on my
SoundCloud and it's called theseNiggas.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Listen, we know where
that's going.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
But I'm not really.
You know that poem everybody.
When I do it at the open mics Iget, you know, a good response.
But I mean, I wouldn't do itnow anymore, cause you know the
energy is different in my life.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I got you, I got you.
So let's, let's fast forward.
We're going to.
We're going to talk about latebloomer, which is when I came
into your, when I tapped intoyour stream I think I was in
japan at that time and I waslike just just going through and
researching and I got my Ithink I got my x account and I
(16:02):
was just tapping into the beatscene from there and, boom, boom
, you popped up on withsomething, with Late Bloomer.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, how did you
find me?
I have a question how did you?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
find me.
You know what?
I have no clue how I found you,I just know I found you and I
was like yo, I like this, okay,let me tap into this and I just
bought it.
Yeah, I just bought it, youknow.
Like, yeah, I just remember it,like that, you know, it wasn't
anything crazy, like I don'tremember any recommendations or
anything like that, maybe, maybeT-Dot, because T-Dot was always
(16:39):
posting, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I didn't know T-Dot
back then either.
I didn't know y'all.
I didn't meet any of thecommunity.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
T-dot back then,
either I didn't know y'all, I
didn't meet any of the Beatcommunity.
I didn't get into the Beatcommunity until I got my SP-404,
which was another story withinitself.
It was Ross G's SP-404, and Ibought it for him a week before
he passed After.
That is when I met the beatcommunity.
(17:07):
Everyone Love Supreme, all that, wow, yeah, so it was like 2022
is when I got out there andstarted performing for real.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Hey, it was meant to
be then, cause I don't know how
I found you, but I just did ituniverse brought us together
once I heard Late Bloomer, thenI just followed your band camp.
So anytime I pay attention tomy feed on band camp on the band
camp app.
Every time you put out an albumit's in the news feed.
(17:46):
So then I check it out and I'mlike all right, I like this.
Oh, hold on, my baby's comingback from from school.

, baby.
Let's talk about this album.
Butter right, because I had toget the physical CDd for butter,
yo that that album butter.
You know I'm saying yo, I likewhat you did, but it was that
game changing.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
like 2023 was the
craziest year of my life.
I had shows every month and,like, during that whole year, I
was creating butter.
Like I mostly created it onkoala, because, I don't know, if
you know, taki, he taught mehow to use koala and then that's
(19:41):
what I used mostly for butterin the SP555.
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Wow, wow, I did.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Coachella.
I did Coachella that year.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, you get the
Coachella with um beat cinema,
beat cinema, yeah, I rememberthat.
Yeah, I remember that.
Yeah, cause it was all oversocial y'all, socials and stuff
too.
I was like damn man, yeah,that's such a big moment,
especially for Beat Cinema too.
It's like Beat Cinema beendoing this for years, like years
(20:17):
.
I always wanted to go catch aBeat Cinema show if I could.
So one day I'm going to catchone.
But man, what was thatexperience like for you?
You know, doing Coachella withBeat Cinema.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
That was like I had a
whole bunch of anxiety behind
it, but everything went my myway, plus more, because I was
able to perform the openingperformance at the big stage
called the Gobi Stage and I didmy set in opening of the day and
(20:56):
they chose me.
I don't know who Wes just tellme the other people chose me,
but I wasn't expecting that atall.
So not only did I do theturndown tent, I did the go beat
stage.
Wow, and it was just so magical,like how I was repping Long
Beach hard with my set.
(21:17):
I was DJing like along withplaying my beats as well.
So I did a lot of G-funk, youknow, a lot of classic west
coast music, you know.
So I was like, well, I'm gonna,I'm gonna rep boom beach at
coach, you know why not?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
yeah, yo, all right,
that's.
That's amazing, man.
That's a definitely anothermemory you got.
I want to go backwards realquick because you said something
and I got to say rest in peaceto Raj G man.
He's another reason why I evenstarted making music, because I
(22:01):
can't remember what album he putout.
I can't remember what album heput out, but you got your SP404
from him prior to himtransitioning.
You know like yeah.
Holy smokes, like what.
So what I mean, what was?
Let me ask this because I don'tknow, like I only hear stories
(22:25):
from you.
Know, like DBIC and otherpeople that have met him
personally.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
What was he like in
life?
The story well, his beat setsare phenomenal, first of all.
But when I met him one on oneto buy the purchase, the 404, he
has a really like gentle spirit.
But I remember I told him Irapped and he was like, let me
hear your bars?
(22:54):
And I fumbled and I was messingup because I was like, you know
, nervous or whatever, and I waslike I blew it, you know.
And then he showed me a couplethings on the SP-404 before I
head out.
He showed me the infamousstutter thing that everyone
likes to do, the stutter feature, how to do that.
(23:17):
And he also taught me thetruncating with the mark mark,
how to truncate, you know,samples, chops.
So that's my story for Raj Ghave you did you?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
how many shows have
you been to with seeing Raj G in
live action?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
honestly, it was only
one show and I wasn't even in
to be set that time, so, but itwas memorable.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
It was memorable, it
made an impression on you.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, rest in peace
to Raj G.
What was the?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
name of it.
I'm sure Naj knows what was itcalled Low End Theory.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Low.
End, Theory, yeah, because theyall were at Low End Theory, yeah
, um, and then they, they did.
I think he did Beat Cinema toowith, uh, eloquent, um, I think.
I think Dibiase might have beenthere too.
It was a crazy card that wasthere.
(24:26):
That's the last time I rememberhim doing a live performance
with Beat Cinema.
He killed it then too, man,because he was in the back of
the stage while Eloquent wasdoing his set and he was just
looking at Eloquent like yo, yougot it, man.
I only know how he talks likereal, real deep, real calm.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Real deep, real calm.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yeah, yeah, man.
So rest in peace.
To Raj G man.
You know I have his cassettesin one of my, one of my boxes in
the garage right here.
But yeah, man, you will bemissed, but his music will live
on.
So we're going to take a break.
(25:31):
We're gonna go to theselightning questions these
lightning round questions, allright, okay, all right so they
they real quick.
They real quick yes or no andstuff okay right, okay, so
here's the first one vinyl,cassette or digital.

.
One beat maker you thinkdeserves way more shine.
Nod your head Morning studiosession or late night cook-up.
Late night cook-up uh, latenight cook-up.
If you had to describe yoursound in one word, what would it
be?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
not lo-fi.
I don't know how to describe mymusic.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
It's all right if you
know what like?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I don't know how to
describe my music.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's all right.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
You know what I don't
know?
People never really tell mewhat they get from when they
hear my beats.
You know Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
They just say that
they know it's a Kershawn beat
when they hear it yeah.
So I don't know what it isabout my beats that make it my
signature.
I just be creating it.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Hey, not everything
requires a description, man.
That's the way I see it.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You know, like
everything don't need to be have
a description and put it in abox and all that type of stuff.
So it's cool, you know.
I mean, I don't know what mineis, so I'll just keep it moving.
Like I just make it in and keepit moving, but what's?
The dream what's your?
Now we're going to come back tothis one question.
I dream venue to perform or tohost Ladies love loops.
Speaker 4 (27:20):

in the theater.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
That's different, I
don't know.

I don't know where a
theater is at, maybe at the

Stadiums and stuff.
I'm very intimate Very.
Speaker 4 (27:50):

Oh man, yeah, that's too muchthe only way I do those venues
if I can like get somebody, getthe people that I listen to the
perform you know, like artylinux and live and domain them
(28:40):
let me ask you this questionwhich release felt like your
biggest experiment, and why?
for me in between time was likewhen I was starting to get my
training wheels on the npc live.
Like last summer I was in beatboot camp and I was just making
(29:04):
beats all summer and I was likeyou know what I need to get my
own.
I finally got the hang of this,you know, and, uh, I feel like
that's one of my favoritereleases because you know just
the process of how each beat gotput together.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
That's Beat Bootcamp,

Me on my side for years.
Yes, so like he'd been smackingNPCs for years, man, I remember
I asked him if he wanted to be apart of the podcast years ago,
(29:57):
like when I first started.
He didn't know me, I justbarely knew him, but I was like
yo, he, he's somebody I gottahave on the show, just because,
like his music spoke to me, man,I was like it spoke to me too,
and that's like that's why I'mreally happy about this album
that we got coming out beenworking on over a little over a
(30:21):
year.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Now that's gonna be
dope yo.
Speaker 3 (30:25):

let's bring in.
We're gonna bring in nauseahead real quick.
Let's say internet's nauseahead.
If y'all don't know who nauseahead is, let me just give you a
little bit of background of whonausea head is.
Man, he's operating under thename nausea head.
I think it's formally no alias,am I correct?
Najah Head?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Hey, all right, I got
my history right.
All right.
So you know, known for diggingdeep into vinyl crates and
flipping samples into somesoulful stuff he's also entered
into beat battle competitions.
Actually came out as thechampion, Smack Pack.
There it is.
(31:06):
That's the one where you were achampion.
I think it was 2021 or 2022.
Smack Pack champion, right?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Daughter number two
is back.
What's up, princess?
Princess, welcome home.
How was your day?
It's cool, yeah, welcome home.
You on you, on camera, me, yeah, right there there.
(31:51):
Yeah, like I was saying man, uh, champion of the smack pack
challenge, and like 2022, 2023,um, you got like a, you got like
a stadium, you got like astadium sound man.
Yeah, man, it's not like uh,it's not you, it's definitely
not on some lo-fi stuff.
It's smacking you in your face,it's melodic, it's man, like I
(32:17):
can't even describe it, dog,like it's so good man.
That's what drew me to your, toyour music man.
It was like man, he, he, justdifferent.
Yeah, so, um, you swing backand forth between like laid-back
grooves and then you got moreaggressive constructs.
So when you came out with yourlast album, um, that you put out
(32:37):
, I was like I had to put that,I had to put that video on um or
x.
I was like yo, what the?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
was you smoking.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I was like yeah, like
what was you smoking then?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
man bro, nah, um,
well, first of all, thank you,
bro.
I really appreciate the shoutfor that uh album.
Um, man, you know real brief.
So I for a while I was on thiskick where I was doing like the
Uncle Glenn stuff right, likethe remixes, and so like I felt
(33:12):
like I was kind of neglectingthe the Nadja head side for a
while.
I was, you know, I can.
It's weird because you know,when I drop something and people
show love of, like, it's alwayswelcome, but at the same time
sometimes it's hard for me toknow if people are like okay is,
are they tired of this yet?
Should I try somethingdifferent?
(33:34):
Like so it was kind of more forme, like okay, let me just get
this together, put this outthere, show people, look, nod
your head.
I'm still, nod your head, Istill do this.
I'm just, you know, um, just onthe different side of my
musical journey, I suppose youknow, like just trying to
(33:56):
explore, you know, areas that Imay not commonly visit.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, I think I came
into your.
I came into your discography.
Man, which one was it?
I think it was.
It might've been hip hypnotic,the hypnotic beat tape.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
And then I was just
like you know what Um and no.
And then I was just like youknow what um, no.
And then you, and then you cameout with on the flip side and
not at ease, and I was like yothis guy and then luna loops,
and I was like, hey, yo, so Ihad to buy the discography, man.
So I was like, yeah, let me justget this discography while I'm
here, I still gotta, I gottaupdate it too.
(34:41):
Man, I gotta get yours too, um,kershawn, I seen it on there,
I'm gonna get yours too.
But, yeah, man, like that'slong man.
Yeah man, like when you did, uh, shadow man, I was like um,
shadow man.
It's like no skips, like thewhole album is just the way you
sequenced it and they blend inLike come on man, come on man.
(35:06):
Like I was playing it for mykids, um, on drives, and they
was like yo, who is this?
It's my, it's my man.
I said, man, y'all know that'sdope.
So, um, yeah, I'll be puttingmy kids on to like the beat
scene.
They don't, they don't payattention right now, but later
on they'll be like man.
Remember that one song you wasplaying in like in japan or in,
(35:29):
you know, arizona, or whereverit was.
They'll now be.
Let me go back and see when Iwhat I was listening to back
then.
But it's still like y'all'smusic, both you, kershawn, and
maja head man.
Y'all music is timeless, man.
You can Kershawn and Najah Head.
Man, y'all music is timelessman.
You can't put a time on it.
You know what I'm saying.
So, like, even if you're yourfirst album, I'm still going to
(35:52):
go back because I always likerandomize my Bandcamp tracks.
So it just randomizes and picksrandom music from my whole what
do you call it?
My whole like catalog basicallyof like everything I supported.
So, yeah, man, just keep doingy'all thing.
Man, like I appreciate y'allman For real.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
We appreciate you.
We appreciate you alwayssupporting us.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Always putting on,
for you know, the stuff that you
enjoy, like I think that's's.
You know you ain't have to dothat.
It just shows that, it showsyour passion for you know doing
that for the community, man, andthank you.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yes, sir man, I love
this man, I love, I love this.
Yo, I'm, I'm trying to makethis into a job man, come try
and be like uh, what's his,what's his name?
uh, sway man, I'm trying to belike the beat community sway
calloway yo yeah but, um, yeah,man, so let me, um, let me ask
(36:52):
you about this album that y'allgot coming out.
Um, I know y'all don't have theartwork yet for it, um, but can
y'all just tell the internets,like what, what's the premise
behind this album?
You know, like, even if doy'all have how many tracks, is
it going to be just digital,physical, what's it going to be?
Speaker 4 (37:14):
you want the whole
rundown.
So I mean, uh, we will havephysicals available.
As a matter of fact, we'regoing old school to how we have
the booklet in.
So it's going to be a limitededition booklet with the lyric
book and everything like that.
It's a throwback, like it's amodern take on, I would say, the
(37:38):
neo soul era.
I believe it's a love story.
It's 12 tracks and all tracksare produced by and um, I feel
like it feels it kind of likeit's like a more updated, feel
like a baduism, kind of feellike dirty, and that's what I
(38:03):
really love about now who cameup with the idea for this album
the album.
You know the album was alreadyset like in, like the stars,
before we like even knew it wasgoing to be an album.
It was.
It happened really randomly,like Just being around and him
(38:24):
allowing me to go through Hisbeats and pick any beat that I
want.
It first started out With onesong and then Over time it kind
of started, you know, progressed, you know.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Nice, nice.
Do we know like how many tracksor any special guests?
Speaker 4 (38:47):
No, it's just.
It's a full length album withme singing and raps.
I actually co-produced one ofthe tracks on there as well, and
, fun fact, majestic Legend ismixing and mastering the album.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Okay, hey, let's go,
