Spot on the five point one.Jake t is in the building today.
Look at my girl. You know, I love you. I feel like
ever since we had our little momenton the podcast, I'll just be wanting
to ride for you and be wantingto support you, and and I'm like
cheer, I'm like big sense cheeringyou on from the sidelines and super proud

(00:30):
of you. They love that interview. I was going to ask you,
what was the response because we talkedabout a lot of things that maybe you
don't normally talk about. It waseverything like that was probably my most viral,
you know, interview, and theytook a lot from me and they
loved me more after that interview.It wasn't Missy. It was very informative.
I feel like people got to knowthe history of you and how you

(00:51):
became you and your family. Ijust felt like you came in ready to,
I don't know, just share adifferent part of you. Sometimes that's
scary, though, you know,sometimes that's scary therapeutic and you right,
you know that you was gonna dotherapy after that. That never happened,
right, Well, did they dotherapy for like a little bit? And
then I don't know, I don'tthink I was with the right therapist because

(01:11):
they had X for like a donationshut up so quick, and I was
like, I don't know if itwas the right company donation for like their
charity or something, but like,I don't even even remember. It was
something towards something, And I waslike, I just got here, like
asking me for money. I justgot here, right. First of all,
therapist is like dating. You're notgoing to find the right one on
the first time, ye know,you have to have a couple of bad

(01:33):
dates before you find somebody and you'relike, oh, I could rock with
this person. Yeah. I waslike, it's like after that, it
wasn't a bad experience. She wasn'ta bad lady. But I just like,
do I even need therapy because it'sgiven, like everybody needs something right
now. That's that's definitely not whatit's supposed to be. But you seem
to be doing good. How didyour mom respond to it? Because we
talked about your relationship with your motherand some of the challenges growing up,

(01:55):
and well, she loved it.Mom loved it. My cousin's time me.
You don't go back on it,do that? No? No,
they didn't. Why what did youIt always be the damn cousins. My
family, my and my cousins waslike hey now, but my my mom,
she was okay with it. Shewas okay with you. She's in

(02:16):
a great place. Yeah, Ilove that. She she must be happy
for you right now. Yeah sheis. But my mom is like very
very like save right now. Andso she didn't even come to my release
party because she was like, oh, I have to, like, you
know, stay on track with herword and like, well what is that?

(02:38):
When did that happen after we talked? Or no, my mom being
I told you the part that shegot saved. But she's like getting back
on track because she felt like shewas liked but proud of me overall.
Yes, she is proud of me. And she listened to it and she
taught me which one was her favoriteand which is her favorite? I think
uncle wow, because she's from likethat's her area. Yeah, that's so

(03:00):
dope. You out here working likea new artist right now? Yeah,
what does that feel like? Firstof all, by yourself, that's different
for you know, Yeah, itis, it's different. It's very very
very different from me. But yeah, I am working like a new artist
because I'm reintroducing myself, and it'slike a little more difficult than being a
new artist because you got people whoare not going to to let go of

(03:22):
a certain you and a certain thingin a certain sound. So your fans
are very they're just passionate. Theyfeel very entitled in a certain way to
like they feel connected to how youcame out, and so that brings a
lot of opinions in a lot ofright. Yes, sometimes it ain't that

(03:44):
bad. No, it ain't badas I thought it was gonna be.
I did say a little something,but they don't be really talk about now,
and it's it's literally not as badas it I think it is.
I mean I thought it would be. But I'm like a new artist.
But I'm not a new artist atall. I want to say that.
But I work like a newartists becauseit's very much reintroducing myself, like as
myself without like attaching myself. Whatis the difference is what is JT?

(04:09):
What is the difference between JT aspart of the City Girls versus JT or
you know, like, what's thebiggest difference you think, I don't really
think it's much of a difference.Honestly, not artistically or not artistically.
I just always think I was fired. I think that I always had it.
I just feel like I'm just doingit like a longer like a longer
song. Sometimes when you have apartnership with somebody, two things either happen.

(04:30):
Number One, it could get annoyingbecause you have to collaborate all the
time. So when you're on thesame page, it's great. But if
you have a different artistic thing,there's always somebody that has an opinion.
And when it's a two, whenit's more than one person, but that's
gone. It could be freeing orit could be scary sometimes. I mean,
I love it. I love it. I love it. It's freeing,
it's fun. I haven't really beenin the artistic space in probably a

(04:54):
couple of years. So just beingonly focused on that is everything, and
not just being a social like andjust because I used to be on Yeah,
at one point I was like,oh my god, the music ain't
coming fast enough. What am Idoing with my life? So right now,
just being solidly focused on the music, it's just a good feeling.
I feel like that's one thing thathas changed about me. I'm only what's

(05:15):
that. What's that process though inthe studio, like because it's different now
you're by yourself. I always kindof being by myself in a studio,
but because I lived, it's welived, we moved, We was in
separate places at the end, butsame old like I just be in there,
being in control. Did you seethe documunity? I saw parts when
you were talking about like going tothose small clubs and how people was responding

(05:38):
to the small clubs. I thinkmore so to the end of it.
Yeah, it was more so mein the studio with the producers and how
I was when I was creating.I had fun. I had so much
fun creating, even though it waslike crunshein. I had a great time.
I loved that. For you deserveto be having fun at this point.
Are you having fun? Are youhappy? Like? Are you I'm
having so much fun. I'm happy. I just did a pop up shop
yesterday. I left my juv Statego hard love that. They're called Juvi's

(06:00):
Girl. They named themselves because Iwann't name them that because I would have
thought of something really cute, butthey liked that name, so I just
I'm just supporting them. It's funnyand right, and it's been nothing but
love and support overall. Yeah,that's so good. And you did what
did you do when you did?You did an event in Brooklyn yesterday,

(06:21):
Yes, a couple of them.You had like a couple of events in
the city. I feel like you'vedone a couple of things in the city
now. Yeah. I had theprom giveaway. Yeah, I did a
prom group away the cities, CinderellaProm dress giveaway in Brooklyn. I did
that. And then I I alwayshad I think I had like two pop
up shops here, two day popup shops because New York goes very hard.
It's one of my Yeah, theylove me. Yeah, I can

(06:44):
say that they come and they supportme. It was a day before and
it was like over two hundred peoplethey showed up yesterday, So that was
major. And I told them likethe night before and I'm pretty sure if
more could have came, they wouldif they didn't have work. So yeah,
and then the charity sounds so dope. Yeah. And I just remember
you telling me too, like justhow they treated you when you are when

(07:06):
you were away and you were inside, and how much it must mean to
people for you to represent that wayfor women who are you know what I
mean? Yeah, I changed theirlife trying to Like they felt so connected
to you even when you were inside. You can only imagine how inspirational it
is for them to see what you'redoing now. They were very happy when
I announced it, Like last yearin July. I feel like I represent

(07:27):
so much so they just love me. I love them back, like the
people that support me. I supportthem one hundred percent. If I can
help them, I do because itmeans a lot to me that they you
know, they rally for me.I can't curage, but you can curse,
oh with it. What does thegoals change now, like now that

(07:49):
you're like on this next phase ofyour career, Like I don't know,
just have you changed in terms oflike what you're chasing, what you're trying
to get to? Like of courseI don't. I honestly want to say,
like this go around, I wantto make sure I do it right
and make my you know, everythingcount and you know, in the beginning
of my career, I feel likeI didn't really know too much better nobody

(08:09):
does, I don't think so whenthey first start their career, they don't
know they just going with the flow. They're just excited to be there.
They're not paying attention to everything aroundthem. I feel like I'm more so
aware of my surroundings now and I'mjust focused on just getting to where I
gotta go. I feel like you'rehard on yourself because because even times where
you're like people be like, ohmy god, she's had a great career

(08:31):
so far, And I've heard yousay things like I don't feel like I've
done what I was supposed to doyet, or I don't feel like I
mean, I really really feel likeI definitely did have a great career.
I had some great moments in mycareer, but I have not done everything
I was supposed to do or I'mabout to do. So that's just the
difference. I don't think I'm hardon myself. I think I'm realistic with
myself. Like some people just getbig head and be like, oh,
okay, I did everything, butI didn't do anything. I had some

(08:52):
great moments, yeah, but comeon that before. But you got big
goals, right, yeah, giveme one, Like what is the what
do you see if you was paintingthe picture, like, well, three
to five years from now, threeor five years I want to see myself
like with being able to perform inthe arena, being very internationally known,
owning some really successful businesses and likehaving a family and shit like that.

(09:16):
But yeah, you want like theAmerica dreams on the good side of America
dream. Yeah, let's see it, like by the twenty twenty four election,
what happens with America after that?Y'all get out there and vote?
Please? Do do you watch thenews? Do you follow all that stuff?
Because or is it too traumatizing?You will do? Now? I

(09:37):
haven't watched it was probably since forever. The news is now my phone,
Like I mean, everything comes onthe phone now, Like we find our
current events on our phones. Soeverything I'm seeing is on my phone,
and I'm just trying to read throughit and stay and stay on top of
it and try not to believe everythingI see. Try not to believe everything

(09:58):
I see because you know, they'regonna they're gonna put stuff in our face
that's not true, especially right now. Right now, it's like the battle
wolf who can do whatever? Butyou know, yeah, what what your
feet is like? Like what isthe JT algorithm? Like? Like what
my algorithm is? Get deep onthe side of stand Twitter. I feel

(10:20):
like, oh my god, I'venever been so deep on the side of
stands Twitter in my career. EightThat's why I get off that ship,
like it was one point that Ican be able to navigate between like normal
general public and like stand Twitter.Like no, I have officially into my
stand Twitter. Just a bunch ofpages with celerities pitches on it and just

(10:43):
cussing each other out. And thenif I go to my for you page,
it'll be some drama. But xhas changed a lot since the past
years. Like anybody can kind ofget a hit tweet. So it's a
bunch of people just selective outrage peoplethat's trolling, trying to get a reaction.
It's it's just not genuine. Thatsounds terrible. Yes, it's how

(11:05):
do we get like puppies on yourfeet? Because I get a lot of
puppies on my feet on Instagram becauseI always like the puppies puppies. Like
my Instagram feed is chef kiss likeTwitter, not Twitter. Do you get
like girls, like like city girlsall over your No, you just get
trolls shows on Twitter, but likeon Instagram, you got more control of

(11:28):
your algorithm. It's what you like? How are you managing that as of
these days? Like you know,I know, sometimes stuff gets to you.
Sometimes it doesn't. It gets tome bad, but I try not
to let it get to me.But you know, we're human. I
just this this week, I haveto be on that because I have a
project to promote, So I haveto fight through it because I honestly don't

(11:50):
want to be on there at all. I can live it out. I
could do without, really, yes, I can. I can do it
out Twitter. I don't want tohear a billion people opinion a day.
It's not healthy to wake up andsee what thousands of people think of you.
So I can live without that.But I have supporters on that who
go hard for me and who actuallythem may love Twitter pages because of me,
So I'm like, okay, letme get on because they don't know

(12:11):
nothing about Twitter like that they youknow GP. Yeah, so I try
to be on that so I canno show up for them. But I
don't like it. I don't.I don't. I am grown, and
I'm kind of over to Twitter becauseit's like it's so easy to like attack
on them, yeah, so easy. It's really abusive. It's mentally abusive.

(12:33):
And I don't think they understand,but you know they're there. They
kids, they don't know, theydon't know. What are you doing for
yourself these days to take care ofyourself? Like, I know you're in
work mode right now. I knowyou're in project mode. Is there any
like? I think these days justso so much of just surrounding myself with
people who got my best interest andjust working, working make me feel good

(12:56):
working and seeing results. So Idon't I'm having a great time. You
deserve to have a good time.I'm having a great five. You have
a little segment on the show.It's called in my Bag. Yes,
and you in your bag right now? So we got a bag for you.
I want you to go in thebag and then see what comes up
for you. Well, what's inthe bag? My bag? My bag,

Vigan King. Get just now,grass have been a long way. I'm
a long way burg King. Now, I don't play. I did wreck
at Burger King, a bunch ofstuff in there. So tell me about
the girl that worked in Burger King. Who how old was she? What
was what was happening? Remember howold I was when I Burger King was

(14:01):
my very first job. I remembershowing up to work in some Jordan's because
I always wanted to dress up andthey was like, nah, baby,

I wanted to be cute. Ishowed up my first dand Jordan's and
they was like slip resistant shoes.Only my cousin worked there with me.

(14:22):
And I remember my manager, yourname was chaw Chai and she was so
mean. And the reason I gotfired is because I had a fight at
the Burger King. Yeah what wasyou fighting about? This girl came to
my job who didn't like me andorder and I was like, oh no,
baby, I'm clocking out and I'mgoing to meet you outside because I
don't come to my job trying toplay games. And we fought and they

(14:43):
fired me and they were like,yeah, you're done here. Yeah.
Did you ever get your check?Did you get paid? Yeah? My
checks used to be very low atBurger King cause I was like part time.
They used to do like weekly.But I just wanted someth to the
dudes to look like I was doingsomething at the time, because I remember
you telling me at your young age, you it was also kind of hustling.
Right, I didn't need the job. I just wanted to. I
kind of just wanted it to lookgood for me, like you had a

(15:07):
job. Uh got it like Ihad. You never wore this crown though,
right, No, I don't seeit for you. I don't see
you in this me neither. Butit's cute. It's not giving JT vibes?
All right? What else is inthe bag? But it is nice.
Okay, let's see what is this? What does this bring up for
you? Pretty bitch? Is bangpink? My high school? In high

(15:30):
school, I was in a gangand we wore pink flags in our back
pocket and around our head. Itwas like CHACKI yo, you know,

and she used to wrap it.And we went to high school repident,
me and my friends. We hada strong click of girl. How many
girls? It was a lot ofus. It was more than you can

(15:52):
imagine. But it was probably liketeting in the picture the picture that I
could show. But I remember mycousin was most of the people that was
in because I went to school withmy cousin's in and I had some friend
or was it a gang or wasit like a crew? It was a
gang. We was gang banging.This is gang. I'm not in the
gang no more. But we reallyused to take a serious because it has
to be different gangs. It's likePBBP, b P s P, brown

(16:15):
Soup, pocker beans, click andlike it was really gang. I'm not
guessing it's it's just the pick makesme feel like, right, really take
a series where we used to bebanging. It's very hard to take a
gang of hey, right exactly.But but you're not from l A right
now, No from here what youmean? Because we usually la people take

(16:36):

It's also so it's your Cinderella,it's it's it's where I'm at right

(17:00):
now, very gracious, it's actuallypretty life. What is the Cinderella attach?
What is the Cinderella thing? Wheredid that come from? What is
the One of my favorite movies isCinderella, the one that Brandy played in,
And I feel like I'm a Cinderella. I feel like it's so many
of us as Cinderella's. If youwatch the movie, the story is like

(17:22):
you start off, bro, ifyou start up being a grad, they
closing the floor, get overlooked,people try to hide stuff from you,
don't want to see you win,and stop, try to stop you from
winning, and then you just stillbe chosen at the end, like the
shoe fits you to win a fishyou. So I feel like that's why
I'm Cinderella. I feel like it'sso many of us Cinderella, And I
want us as women to represent ourselvesmore as no matter what we've been through,

went to Mike down and before then, my friends like, let's goa this
person called Peaches. And I'm like, okay, being naive because Mike dinas

like cut no pictures. I takeselfies with them, but they don't start

(26:00):
annoying because I don't give that energy. I give a very like homegirl when
you meet me. So it's justlike let her eat or respect her because
I respect people in public, sothey should respect me. It should go
both ways. You should go bothways, and I think that's how I
go. And I love New York. New York got I love New York.
They manic business here, They're verylike they mining business like they won't

(26:22):
be with all that New York peoplelike they they're gonna give you a prop
so they're gonna big you up.Now, they're gonna let you know and
they keep it moving like you won'teven expect or No. I think the
person know you. It could beof all ages, know who you are
here. They're very culture. Theydidn't know what the fun going on and
give you a credit. So that'swhat I about. Could you ever live
here? I live here? Yeah? You? How you have been living

(26:44):
here? I lived here, Ilive I've been here almost three going on
four years. And how has thattransition been for you? I was between
New York and l A when Ileft Atlanta after present, but now I'm
mostly here. I would want tosay this is full time. I go
to LA from time to time,but New York I donet got the hang
of it. And it's too quick. So you can't go from New York
to LA because then it's like Lasmoving so slow compared to New York.

(27:11):
It's two different vibes. But Ilove New York now I love I used
to hate it. I used tohave the worst anxiety with the traffic.
I could not deal with the noisethe horns than nothing. But I can't
learn how to maneuver a little bitmore with the time and what to do
and whatnot. We love having youhere. I love that you're here.
Yes, I'm here. I don'tknow how I didn't know you've been here
for three years around, Yes,because I would not come outside. We

(27:33):
gotta hit you outside, I wouldknow, y'all. Traffic is traumatize it.
Y'all got three cars here, butI don't drive them. They put
a pole on my I mean Igot I put in my bust my tires
on the way to lootion. Iput that bitch in the garage and I
ain't pull it out since New Yorkis hard on the cars. They scratched.

(27:55):
Somebody scratched up the side of mycar. I don't even know who
did it. I left it inthe front of my building. Did my
boyfriend come upstairs talking about you knowhow to drive? And I'm like,
they don't know how to drive.It's not me. I don't know who
did it. So I parked thattoo. I just use a black truck
now I use a driver. It'smore. I don't know why I can't
picture you actually drive I used tobe driving, parking in the parking,

(28:17):
in the parking parking lots, inthe gym I go to. I'm not
telling y'all my gym, but Igo to the gym in Brooklyn. I
go to a nice him in Brooklyn, and I'd be parking in the parking.
People they knew me about hard.They would say, you be driving
this ship, your little self.And I was parking. I was having
my way until I driver. I'ma good enough driver. I'm from Miami.
Good enough Miami driver is a terriblesame don't kill right terrible drivers,

(28:40):
and y'all a terrible drivers. Mylife, girl, Please don't play with
these New York drivers driving like theywould travel their eyes closed. I don't
know why I feel. And Iwas driving in my car and it was
snowing and my car drifted. No, that's scary. Oh what did you
do? You don't supposed to gointo the drift. You're not supposed to
fight it, just spraying, like, just keep a driver. Yeah,

(29:02):
me and New York were cool.I want to stunt sometime and let people
know. But this ain't a placefor that because between the traffic, the
pot holes, the tickets. Ohmy god. Yeah, I don't know
why. I see a show orsome type of thing where it's like JT
in New York that would be hilarious, like takes New York type of thing.

(29:23):
New York takes JT down everybody whatthey do. I don't think that
everybody knows you're here like that.They my my supporters know, like the
Juvis know, they know, butpeople know, but I don't. I
can't. New York takes me.I don't take New York. New York
takes me to fuck down. AndI have to respect the time in here.
I went. I went to aclass the other day and me and

(29:47):
my teacher we was just going makeand for it. And I'm like,
you keeping me too long. I'mtrying to go tomorrow. And she's like,
she released me at five o'clock class, like for training for this training,
media training, media training. Yes, I do. This is new
you never did that before. No. I like that. Yeah, I
love it. You know why Ihate it because on my side, sometimes

(30:08):
it makes people lose the naturalness.No, I still got it. I
just I think that the thing isI think it prepare us more for y'all
than y'all are prepared for us.So y'all used to being like more in
control, and I think it putsus more in control. So it put
y'all in a hot seat more thanus. So it's just like I'm more
in control. I would have camein here like you know. But the

(30:30):
day I'm just like, Yeah,I don't love that. Yeah, but
I do understand why you have tobe in that one thing about let me
give let me give Tracy her flyers. Tracy don't make me done no smoke.
Now, Tracy doesn'et taught me everythinglike she she with all the bushes.

(30:52):
She ain't teaching me not to bemy natural self. She just teaching
me how to sound well, howto be more pois. Yeah, because
i'd be I would have been here, slapcha. Probably wouldn't have even wren.
This what I feel like I am. You see, I love business
and I feel like you can teachyour media class right now. I can

(31:15):
teach your media cats. But sheleft, she let she let me out
at five o'clock, and that waspisceell mad. This is good information for
new upcoming artists. What is thenumber one thing the best thing you have
learned in media training? In thisworld that we're in for new artists,
I understand why they need media training. What free advice could you give to

(31:37):
a new artist on the come upof media training that you've learned you gotta
get a good teacher for media training. I don't think. I don't think
mindset is corny. She she's she'sa black lady, very New York with
the ships. But what did youBut what do you learn? Like what
is the one thing you need?Just how to be more confident in my

(32:00):
interviews, like be more up formy interviews because I used to really be
up for interviews, like because I'malways thinking at your flex and some crazy
shit. But now I'm just readyAnd then it's just like not saying the
stupidest shit. You don't want tobe looking at yourself saying the stupidest ship.
Yeah, in five years when you'readulg like, come on, that
be for real. YEA. Ishould be a media trainer because I because

(32:22):
I do have friends who are artists, or I have I meet a lot
of young artists and sometimes I I'llyou know, it takes a lot.
I'm not gonna lie. I can'tbe a media trainer because it takes a
lot of note, taking a lotof question acts ten times in a row,
and you'll be like, girl,I'm just gonna tell her how it
is, like leave me alone,but it's so funny to me. That's

(32:43):
so interesting you. If you're willingto sit there with that pin in that
paper and keep writing now ship overand over and over, then you could
be You could be whatever you wantto be. That's true. One one
I would tell them one one thingI think is a good thing for like
a new artist who's who was afraid. Maybe they got a lot of baggage,
maybe they got a public relationship,maybe they got something they're afraid to

(33:07):
be asked by the other person.I always tell people, if you the
easiest way to get out of aquestion is to ask it back to the
person who's asking it asking it toyou. Yeah, you could be a
media trainer. So if I'm likeJT, tell me about your you said
your boyfriend said you cracked it.Tell me about your boyfriend, and you
could be like, tell me aboutyour like that. So that's okay.

(33:31):
You you taught me. I'm gonnause that use free games. That's right.
I'll regret sharing that information but thatis an easy way to get out
of something that you don't want toknow. But I'm so comfortable and confident
these days, like I don't mind, Like, yeah, I ain't,

(33:51):
I'm not scared of that. Butit's like it's just like I'm just more
excited for the interviews if you're likeyeah, But I feel like me and
you have good chemistry period for sure. And I don't want to I think
that me and you have good chemistrybecause my my best interview is you like
the pot. The pot was thebest thing that I did. It showed
me in a beautiful light. SoI feel like I just have respect for
you to come in here, situp straight and tall. Thank you.

(34:13):
I want to say straight tall too, Like I got respect for you to
sit up straight and tall. Butmaybe somebody else I probably would like this.
No not now you're media trained.No no, no no. But
I love this evolved JT. Ilove this new evolved JT. I'm almost
fifty years old. Shut the hellup, all right, So what do
people need to know? Just thatthis is only the beginning. That's it.

(34:37):

this and when you think I'm hardon myself, It's not that I'm hard
on myself. I'm just humble andfocus. Yeah, and you got big
