Speaker 1 (00:06):
Are we back at it? Chuck Dizzle live and direct.
Man got the homie. I've been seeing him, you know,
progressing over the years.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Been a fan of his energy, been a fan of
his style, because when you talk about music nowadays, especially
hip hop, the word originality, I feel like it is
a lost art, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
And this this dude, he doesn't sound like anybody else.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
He has his own style and I think that that's
one of the things that sets him apart from everybody else.
From Compton, California, Holland is is here?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, what's the dal Chuck here?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yiah?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I love.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I love the person that you are, the energy that
you you carry.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The music is there as well.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Man, talk about talk about this project you got out
right now?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Isn'm a list?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It is a malism, man, It's a whole lot of
culture in it. Real talk coming from Compton specifically, but
LA as a whole. I tapped in with a lot
of my Bay Area potners. Shout out to the Bay,
Shout out child Maine, shout out stunning, Stunning Man on two,
shout out Gap Dad for a thousand and so on
so on. Man, It's just it's a coming of age,
(01:23):
a story, you know. Just putting this project together. It
was a lot of mixed songs, but me and my
team we really sat down and got the vibe right
and put put put together a piece of project that
everybody remember.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know what's funny is you you being from Compton
and hearing is a malism. I'm a huge DJ Quick fan.
I instantly thought a rhythms and I'm like, oh, okay,
but you you mentioned the Bay and your influence over there,
so talk about how that ties into it. First with
with rhythmalism, and then your name Holland is, and then
you're tapping that in right as well. But you know
(01:58):
you mentioned that the debate the influencer, So talk to
me about the name first and foremost Holland is and
then titling titling it is and.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
What's there connection to DJ Quick and let me know
you know from there.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right, So Holland is. Holland is my last name. So
I wanted to pick something to represent not only me
but my whole family. So I put that first. And
then I just felt like I needed something to spice
it up, give it a little little bizzazz, So I
put it is because you know, Holland is fly, Holland
is incredible, Holland is is untouchable. It could be unlimited,
(02:35):
you feel me. So that's I like that play on
those words and I ran with that and it's stuck
with me and you caught it. Chuck man, am A
it's a it's a A. It's a it's a hat
tail to quick Man and shout out to quick Man. Yeah,
Like it runs so deep because uh, you know, like
(02:59):
my my pops, he used to rap and stuff, and
like just having Compton in everything I do, you know,
just embedded in me. You feel me. So I just
always have to throw those little easter eggs in here
to keep everybody engaged and just wondering like, oh did
he do that? Off of that? So I'm glad you
pointed that out.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It was funny is because you being from Compton, and
I compliment you when I say this as well, and
I've heard other people say the same thing.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You don't sound like anybody from Compton, you know what
I mean, which which is good.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It's actually great because you set yourself apart from it.
But is there is there any type of challenges that
come from that? Because when people say, always from Compton.
They have already have the stereotypes of what you're gonna
sound like, what you're gonna be rapping about, what you're
gonna look like, and when when when you see, when
you interact with you, when you see you, when you
(03:48):
hear the music.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
It's none of that, right Is that? Has that been
a challenge for you or do you like embrace it?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Man, I love that it's a little fifty fifty because
I like being the wild cord, you know, because they
be like, what, like you from Compton, you you're getting
down like this, you ain't talking about this or that.
And then the other side of the coin, it's like,
oh you from Compton, aware, right right? Well you feel me.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Like where your grandma said.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's like, so it's two flips of the coin. So
you know, I cherish both of them because you know,
like once you tell them like oh I'm from over here,
bottom bang or whatever, They'll be like, oh okay, okay
with where So man, just both sides of the coin
is dope to just be from Compton and you know,
just just wear it on my chest like I do
and and sport it, you know, So man, I don't
(04:43):
really trip off of those kind of things.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, I saw you, I remember. I want to say
it was twenty eighteen. It was before Sunny Days, A
drop right and Saluta the Homie rosecrans Vic. Yeah, I
want to say it was. It was at one of
those one of the showcases.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
That was the first time I had seen you.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I didn't know who you were, but you were one
of the standout artists that performed because the energy that
you had, it just it was so infectious. It was
just like, you know how it is that showcases number one.
You know how it is out here in La number two.
Everybody gonna have their arms fold, everybody just gonna look
at you. You know, we just we It's not that
we don't fuck with you, but it's like, you know,
(05:25):
it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And when you hit the stage, you commanded.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That attention to the point where you made me a
fan that night, and it was I'm sure it's been
the same for a lot of other people when they
see you hit the stage.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I'm talking about jumping on.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Speakers, getting in the crowd, and just really interacting with
the people to let them know that you really care
about this. Right and again that sets you apart from
from from a lot of other people. Where where does
that come from? Where does that energy come from? Have
you always been like a wild child? Because on the
flip side, when you actually meet and talk to you,
a lot of the times you get another side of
(06:00):
Holland is it's like he's super reserved, chill, laid back.
But this character on stage is like out of this world.
So where does where does that come at? Is it
a switch that flips when you hit the stage? Is
it a character that you intentionally was like, yeah, I'm
I'm a portrayed this, like to walk me through that man.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Just always growing up, I've always had just a lot
of energy and sometimes I didn't always always know how
to channel it. So like in school, like I'll be
showing out just to make people laugh, or just always
just doing quietly, you know, outlanded things just to you know,
I don't know, because that's always me. I'm always like
(06:41):
trying to get people to have fun. I want people
like to to interact and so like I've always had
that in me. But as I got older, I started
to really channel it into the music because I noticed,
like you know, in real life, not everybody always gonna
be super turned up. You know, they'll look at you crazy,
like why you so? What the heck? Like, so like
(07:04):
I had to all right, let me let me channel
this energy where I know it's gonna reciprocate, you know.
So and that was always the music. So when I
when I'm when I'm on stage or when I'm performing
in front of people, I want them to feel like, man,
I just had the best top of my life. Man,
I just partied what because like you said, like in
(07:24):
l A Man, everybody just sitting around they all mean mugging,
or they bored, or they just acting like they too cool.
So whenever I got the chance to just give off
the energy that I naturally have, I'm like, let's go.
I want to see everybody. I want to see everybody
at least shrugging a shoulder, or I want to see
somebody no on they head like something.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah. It's funny watching watching people reacting. And I've seen
like because I know how I reacted to it. But
I love watching the crowd when you up on stage
because you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Can see people like what's on? What is going on?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And then by the end you got you know, people out.
It's like Okay, they rocking, hands up or whatever the
case may be. So far, saluting you for not only
having that confidence, but you know, kind of like pushing
through that because I know that's not an easy thing
to do, and I know it probably took time, and
I'm sure your first time on stage wasn't like that,
and you know it evolved over time. I want to
(08:17):
get into Ismalism, man, let's do it. I want to
talk about this project. This is your third project, right technically.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes, yes, yes, officially that's my third project.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, so your third project.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What do you feel like or how do you feel
like you've grown over the years, and how is Isamalism
different from any other project that you put out?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So they days and then the one with U A.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Oh Man. I would just say this one, it took
a lot of preparation. Like me and my team and
my business partner shout out Scelario, shout out Dave oh Man,
we really took the time to playing the role out
and just kind of hone in and really figure out
what targets we want to hit, what kind of demographics
(09:02):
we want to hit, and just over all the sound
of the project and how clear we wanted things and
how we wanted how we wanted to sonically feel on
the ears, and man, it was really a process to
really show me how to better myself as a businessman,
(09:23):
because in this game, it's all about marketing. It's all
about putting yourself out there to the right people to
find your audience. So I feel like on this project,
I was able to really cultivate that, and being able
to go on tour before I dropped the project really
helped solidify that because I was able to actually get
(09:43):
out there and touch the people and give them a
copy early and let them know like, oh, this is coming,
and you know, just show them how I am and
who I am and what I do.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I mean, that's interesting that you said that, because I
would assume before it's like, yo, you just drop a
project and then promoted after the fact.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So this when you're saying the rollout was different, you
you know, strategically went on tour. What was your experience
going out to different markets and you know, going outside
of the area and getting outside of your comfort zone.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Was it was it something with you're like.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh, this is better than what I expected, or was
it like nerve wracking trying to you know, perform and
engage in front of a different audience for you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Man, Honestly, people was telling me like I was asking,
and I'm sorry, where'd you go? Oh? Man? I went
to ten different cities. I went to New Mexico, I
went to Dallas, I went to uh Colorado, Colorado. I
went to Seattle, et cetera, et cetera. We man, we
hit some spots. Shout out mc bob. But yeah, like
(10:42):
I talked to a lot of artists before I went
out on tour, shout out to buddy, shout out, go
up dad, And I was just like, you know, picking
their brains apart. And one thing that everybody told me,
nothing goes right on tour.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
In your mind?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Right, boy? Was they not?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Like? So, what give me some of the things that
happened for you when you kind of expected and then
it just went totally left. What were some of those
experiences that even with them telling you that and you
having a heads up where you were.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Like, yo, what what is going on?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
What is this about?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So not to get to it to detail on all
the things, because it was it was a beautiful dope
tour man, Shout out no labels shout out mc bob
and everybody that was a party tour, but just some
instances of you know, I was under oppression. I was
going on tour with my whole team of two days
(11:37):
before they said you and one person only. I said, I.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Got everybody get their backpacks, brand the work they got,
they toe in trees and stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I'm like, I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Goodness, but I'm I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just want
to stay on here real quick.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So how did you deliver the news to your crew
that your team that you was expecting to go with
you couldn't go with.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
You had what was that call?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Let's stay so because they were just so worried about
me though, you know, they like, okay, well, how all right,
this is we're gonna do the pivot. All right, We're
now able to have a videographer with you. Let's hit
up everybody in East City to at least have somebody
you know there for you, or okay, this is what
you gotta do with your merch. Okay, all right, we
(12:27):
just had to pivot. And I didn't have no room
to be mad. I had no room to just you know,
I like.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
How you said before before we started the conversation, you
were telling me downstairs that he was like, I had
to man my own merch booth man like those type.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Of experiences though you can't get from anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And it's like I was telling you, I'm like, that
is going to help you out in the long run,
because now you know what it takes to do that.
You know how to interact with the fans in a
different way than a lot of other people probably don't
know how to you exact so it's still lessens hilarious.
I'm not gonna lie, and I know you was going
through it, but it makes the most of the situation
because now you have a story to tell.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Exactly and to be able, like you said, to like
wear that many hats. Honestly, I feel like everyone may
not be able. That may not be for everybody, but
as at the individual, I am like, I love this,
like every aspect from soundcheck. I was there from doors
(13:26):
opening to doors closing, Like I'm like, I'm helping the
soundcheck people, I'm getting you know, I'm getting close with
everybody on the tour, you know, So I just love it, man,
and like the difficulties of course, you're on the road,
you confined in little spaces. Everybody cranky and stuff like that.
But I'm in my own little world. You can ask
everybody on tour. They like, man, everybody people in the
(13:49):
in the sprinter arguing and stuff. I'm in the back.
I'm dancing this. You feel me, they like. So I
lined enough the mood and it was it was a
blessing to go on tour and just to be able
to like I didn't even though like if I was
gonna be able to sell tickets, so to sell tickets
and to sell merch and how people come out and
just show me love how they did and let me
know how they rock with me. Man, that that made
(14:13):
my whole life.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And on top of that, again you talked about like
understanding your tribe, and you know, I'm sure gaining a
fan or two or ten or fifteen in every city.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And it's like I was telling somebody to just that today.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You know, it's important on how you control that, how
you can talk directly to your people. Like you said,
it's a gang of people out there. I'm not trying
to impress those that not fucking with me. Who's fucking
with me?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And now that you are, now I know you are,
how can we stay in communications this whole time? So
I'm glad that you kind of picked up on that,
and you know not it made the most of it.
You know what I'm saying, regardless of whatever the situation is,
is a malism, all right? You got what twelve tracks
on here, Salute to the Homy Triz, you got Cyprus, Morento, Yeah,
Stunner man O two go out there, four thousand child
(14:59):
men mc bob as well Man talk about the construction
of this album, reaching out to these different people some
I'm sure you have relationships with others. You may have
to reach out and you know, cultivate a relationship, but
you know, and landing you know them on this particular project,
right man.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
For this project, honestly, I wanted to rock with all
the people that I felt like because don't don't get
me wrong, a lot of these people on the project,
they have a sense of status, but they still feel
underrated to me. And I feel like I'm underrated, like underrated, underground,
(15:44):
whatever you may say. And I just feel like everybody
on here like really connects to the music like I do.
You know what I'm saying. So like to be in
the studio with these individuals, and well I was in
the studio with all of them, but for most of
them like to bounce off energy and ideas. It was
it was a movie, man, it was. It was something
(16:05):
to I always look back on in my life and
be proud of.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, I was gonna say, like, what are some of
those experiences that you kind of like picked up on
because you know, whether whether you're in studio with somebody
'or not, Like, what what do you feel like you've
picked up from this particular project that in the past,
you just you know, it's something that you you grew
on with this particular album, whether it's learning from different
people or just feeling like you know, you've grown yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Like, what are some of the things that you picked.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Up from this album I got. I feel like I
finally gave myself the credit. Like with previous projects, I
always knew like, oh I got still got more, I
still got more to go, I still got more to go.
But this one I really felt like, yeah, I'm here
on this well, like from start to finish, I was
(16:52):
feeling each vibe on on on every song, It was
just like very pinpoint and just to touch on how
I'm feeling the topics, the quality of the music, the production,
because the production on There is Man executive produced by Solario.
Shout out by Dog Scelario Man real talk. He did
(17:12):
amazing on this project. Shout out the co producer. Shout
out tell Yo, Fatty, shout out and Dog Yeah, and
Dog sprinkled in there old choa and yeah Man like
to really bring it all home. It was just like
I set up a pot, started making gumbo and everybody
came through out of their own little spice to it.
(17:33):
You do know what I'm saying. So it just really
happened like that. But I feel like this time around,
I really like seeing the growth and like hitting the
to hitting the tour. It really showed me like, oh yeah,
this is it's hitting. It's hot. It's hot right now.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
What did you learn from from Pops growing up?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I mean and initially like when when you you know
him and getting into music, was that the initial inspiration
for you or did the inspiration come later down the
line in terms of one to actually do music.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Of course, like my Pops, he had a big He's
definitely a big inspiration into my career growing up. I
would say it really more developed in my later years,
like my teenage, Like from thirteen to i'll say sixteen,
I was really like just just student of the game
(18:28):
and just really cultivating my background on on like the
artists that I liked and where they came from and
what really inspired these artists to be who they are
and the type of music that they make. Like a
lot of people don't know, like music is really like
my heart. This is like everything to me. So like
(18:49):
I've spent nights and days just just sitting there listening
to music, reading the back cover arts of albums, and
just going through the produced or the executive producer, you know,
everybody you know, to the people that played the instruments.
So to be able to you know, really because my
(19:12):
my pops always told me, like this game is treacherous,
like either you're gonna do it or don't do it,
you know, So like I always had that in the
back of my mind, like if I'm gonna do this,
I'm gonna do it, you know, to the neck, to
the fullest. So but once I really stepped out there
on my own and really started getting my feet wet,
and like dropping songs and getting getting feedback from you know,
(19:35):
some notable cats in the city. Shout out Roddy, shout
out Kalin because a lot of people know. Man, you know,
I'm not that type of dude to be name dropping
this stuff, and you.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Know, get your game. But like you know, your boy
being around and your boy you feel me just see
some things like you coming up and and just being.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Just tell them, let them know.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Man wrote the box for Roddy Rich and I'm sorry
to break the news, y'all.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Man, it was Holland is this whole time.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That's the is.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
That's Holland Is.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But Na, no shout shout out. Shout out Rodny Ridge though,
because he he's definitely a big inspiration. Because when I
dropped my first song, I was working. I was still
working at food for Listen Compton, and I was outside
pushing cards. Bro pulled up on me. He was bumping
my song and he was like, hey this you run
do them up?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
He's like, hey, Bro, this's hard dog, And I'm like,
I'm like, god, I already knew who he was. He
wasn't who he is now, but you know, he was
on his way up and I'm like, oh, I'm like
good looking, Bro, we gotta get in the studio with
the wom He like, oh, for sure. You know we
locked in. We connected. We tried to get in the studio,
but you know, he got his situation with Atlantic and
he blew up and to be who he is. But
(20:50):
a year later he came back to the store in
the Rose Royce crazy. He said, get in there. I was, Look,
I was in my april.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Look, I was in my april about fifteen talking about
some so is nice in here.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
You're like somebody else figured it out. I ain't coming back.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Hey, get the cars, Nigga, I ain't coming back. But
it just that was inspi raising to me, like I was,
I'm never to dude to like get jealous or mad
at anybody's success because I know they're just they just
like me, Like you get what I'm saying, Like we
come from the same cloth, like we got to you
feel me so like to see people like blossom it
(21:34):
to who they are, Bro, it's a blessing. Like it's
a blessing feel.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Being in the car. And then nigga have to get
to go back after that. You gotta tighten the apron
back up, Like, man, I.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Went into the bathrootball forty minutes after that, I was
in that bathroom bore.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I was like, I'm talking to God, like help me out, please.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Oh man, the car hell I hot.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But no, that that motivated me. Honestly, it gave me
more energy. I probably went back to work feeling really good.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Blocked it out. I don't remember that I was hot.
I was pissed.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Nah, But that that's dope that you're able to kind
of like see that up close and personal, see somebody
that you have. You know that that you know somebody
that's in reach, you know what I'm saying, and seeing
what what's what's possible?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I think that that that type of inspiration always lights
a fire, like okay, yeah, I can do it too,
especially if somebody's from the same city that was literally
in the same store. You know what I mean That
that is a you know that complimented the music. So
I know that I think those type of instances happen
in life for a reason. I mean that you took
it like as that and not like because you know,
(22:46):
everybody reacts different ways, and.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Some people could take that situation and something bitter.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You mentioned something about your pops telling you, you know,
this game is treacherous.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
If you're gonna be all in, be all in.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
When when was that moment for you that you were like, Okay, no,
no more one foot in, want out.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I'm gonna really take it as serious as I should.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I'll say it was a time where I felt like
I wanted I wanted this bad, so bad for other individuals.
I was getting in in the way of the way
of it. For myself, like I was working with other
people that I felt like that was.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Very talented, got it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
But it wasn't the right timing and necessarily the right situation.
And people have to grow and learn, you know, individually
as well. And it was a point in time where,
like I remember, like nothing was going right. It was
like I was booking shows and I was having certain
people with me and and it wasn't it wasn't given.
(23:55):
And I remember one day I was just feeling real bad,
like this guy on my knees, I'm like, God, what
am I supposed to be doing? Like it's like, why
is everything not going right? And then he told me,
like little who's around you? And then once I and
not to say, because man, I'm a person like I
see the good and everybody like I got I kick
(24:19):
it with homie, I kick it with people that's homeless.
I kick it with It's just like, why arrange, I
don't care, Like if you got a haarder go like
I'm rocking with you, you didn't know what I'm saying.
So it's like, but at the same time, you have
to protect your energy as well, because a lot of
people won't cherish cherish it as they should. And sometimes
(24:41):
people won't won't get that till you gone, especially if
they have access to you.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You feel me, they feel like, oh, this is gonna
be here forever, you know, they take it for granted.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, part so you had to learn how to put you.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
First exactly and separate the god it got it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
So at that point it was like, Okay, let me
stop putting that energy and effort in the other people
and put it more in myself.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Now. Was this before Sunny Days dropped or after?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Uh, stay sunny? I remember that, my bad, but it
was it was actually before that. It was a little
before that, So stay Sunny. That's when I really started
locking in.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Gotcha, Okay, Yeah, sure, Okay, that actually makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Now again, the energy, the energy that you have, man,
is just so infectious. Like a lot of people compliment
you based off of that. When is the last time
Holland is just lost his ship because you strike me.
It's just a nice person who pitched.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You off as my pops, you know, your loved ones,
they get under your skin like nobody else.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Now is it coming from love or is it like
like tough love or is it like what what what?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
What? What has Pops done that kind of make make
you upset?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I mean, you know, it's just every day living. Sometimes
there's little stuff. Sometimes it's you know, stuff in the past,
you know. But you know, I'm I'm the type of
person like I get I don't look at that. I
don't look at look at that type of stuff. I
just really look at the person that they are in
the in the in the time being. But sometimes, you know,
everybody got the day, you know, everybody. You know, some
(26:27):
people get on your nerves and stuff like that. But
for the most part, I try not to, Like, I
don't like, I really don't be turned up unless somebody
tried me. I ain't gonna lie when people try to
play me like, I don't know who I don't know
what I'm talking about. I'm not who I am, you know,
Like that's when I turn up on people for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I was gonna say, if I ever see Holland is mad,
I know the other person did something wrong.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
It's not It's not Holland. You didn't need something to
piss them off.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Holland is the nicest dude you couldn't, you know what
I mean? Like all what always with a smile, always
carry himself with just positive energy and I love that
about you. Now, Okay, have you got a chance to
you know, I know that the ismalism quick reference. Have
(27:15):
you got a chance to connect with Quick at any
point in time throughout your career, your life, whether it
just be a studio session kind of peeping the scene,
or or even present your music to him?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Heck yeah, Him and sugar Free, Me and Quick we
linked up in New York like two like two years ago.
He had a show at the Sobs. He brought me backstage.
What showed me not belove Rodney Yo was there? Yeah,
he was just giving me game. He was just like
man like you you the new lineage of Compton. You
(27:49):
feel me like you gotta take this father than I
ever did. And he was just saying stuff like that
to me, and I'm like, oh, shoot, man, you know
it was just off of you know, a couple songs
he heard you feel Me from a mutual friend and
stuff like that. But man, no, yeah, no, shout out
to quick man. He showed me nothing but love when
I was out there in New York, and I needed
(28:11):
that when I was out there because you feel me
Like New York, it was a little intimidated. I thought
everybody's gonna be mean and stuff, but everybody's pretty nice
for really yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Man, man, I don't know, man, depend on what I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I feel like New York and la are the same,
and the sense they're two different, like the same in
the sense of like what people expect from them is
completely not not completely different. But it's like, I don't know,
it's just people say that if you can make it anywhere,
you make it in New York. But it's based off
of like the people that I got a lot of
people from New York.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
That I know, and the how they're portrayed versus how
they really are.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Like they're loyal as fun but at the same time,
it's like, yo, you they don't you don't know them like.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
That where you make them when you see New Yorkers, man,
what they would be.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Down the street?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Every form too though, right, so off this project always,
I'm starting to ask this question more and I'll probably
updated at some point. We used to always ask what's
what's the business card track?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
What's the best representation you feel off of ismalism? That
is the best representation of who Holland is is right now,
if you have to walk up to somebody on the
street and be like, yo, this is me now, and
don't say the whole project, one particular song, one particular
track on.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
There, that's the best representation of Holland is.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I'll go with Baller number Folloer and why Baller. I
feel like it's just a it's a fun monstrous track.
Now'll get you straight to the ism, like get you
straight to the party, straight to the fun and straight
to the action. Shout out ant Dog and DJ Looney
(29:57):
for the production, and shout out will he be in
Black for orchestrating everything for that one, because it's crazy, man,
I was. I was up at TV one one night
and they was playing beats and they played this particular beat.
I'm like, damn this, I'm like, it's hard. I'm like
(30:18):
and the whole time, I didn't know who produced it,
and I'm just thinking it's probably a dude that they
know that they work with. And then I asked them
one day, I said, Hey, who produced that baller track?
They was like, oh, your boy and dog.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I'm he didn't put that in to be paid I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I'm like, how y'all getting I'm like, that's my whole project.
You would have put that one in there. I was flabbergast,
and I'm like, I knew I liked that beat for
some reason. So man, man, yeah, I'll say Baller because
it's just it gets real motion picture.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Viobes for me. What can you tell me about rain Forever?
That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Rain Forever. Yeah, that's especially one to me too. That
was the first single that we rolled out, and yeah,
it's just real real hip hop, real real scratches, just
straight to the core with it. Yeah, shout out Scelario. Man,
me and Scelario. It's it's a different chemistry between us.
(31:19):
And because we was in the studio and we made
that Uh, he had his last LA show out here
and we was in the studio with a couple of colleagues.
Shout out, Uh Roady Rose, shout out Dusty Fuller recipes Disco.
They was all in the studio and uh, yeah, man,
(31:42):
it was just given the vibe and uh, I just
wanted to really represent l A and I want to
put everybody in there. If you really listen to the songs, that's.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Crazy, you know.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I so love to Torsu the police.

to get on the freeway.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
To meet the tourings.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, so I had to I got to do better.

that energy with them and you know showing that that
that bey of l a.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Love right, Which is crazy because I met Gap Dad
a few years ago at who was at Buddy's house

all of us. They was kind of like introducing me whatever.
I was kind of like, whoa Like they all embraced
(33:11):
me though, like Buddy shout out Buddy. That's like, man,
that's like one of the big homies. He always be
showing me love. So yeah, I was over there and
they're like, oh yeah, Quap coming. I'm like, who's Quap?
But I knew his face, I just didn't have I
didn't put the name to the face. And then he
came in and Bro, it was just like a comedian.
(33:32):
Like I was sitting there, asked Buddy. I said he
I said, hey, Bro, it's the cool if I use
the bathroom. He said, you just asked him to use
the bathroom. I'm like, I can't he like, bro, Like
he like, I'm from the bank. You gotta use the bathroom.
Just get up and go use the bathroom. I was like, okay, bro,
(33:53):
but but yeah, I hadn't wapped that on a project.
Was really dope because I really rocked with the Bay
and I rock with his style, and for him to
you know, show love like he did and hopped on
the record was crazy. Uh stunning, man. I actually didn't
have a relationship with him at the time, but my
(34:13):
producer did and he had the verse and he just
felt like it fit and which is crazy. This past
week at Yeah yeah no no, not not com Defest,
but uh yeah, yeah, yeah, I met him there on
Earth Yeah, and I went up to him and you know,
(34:33):
I introduced him myself. He's like, he's like wait, He's

get the video on.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
I love that man.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I love how like he was embraceve on on on
doing it. And then you guys got a chance to
link up after the fact that it just shows how
technology he works, and you know, the way the world
things happen for the right reason. Man, I've been locked
in with him for a couple of years, so it
only makes sense that, you know, you guys have kind
of did your thing.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Man. Man the shout out to them because they just
played that. They just played that single on the on
the radio on the bay. Man. Yeah, so we were moving,

Speaker 4 (35:26):
You know what I mean, just a little bit. What
Holland is Chambridge choices? Man, Holland is uh never perform
again or never rap again?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Dang dang, never perform again or never rap again?
Speaker 1 (35:41):

be easy. I should have started with the easy one.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
You should have checked. That's crazy, bro. I'll say, I
love the people too much, so I'll say never rap again.
But I know that's a lot. I'll probably still be
I'll be wrapping in my head.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
What how to do in the corner? All right?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
So have one one of those hit records that's gonna
pay you for a lifetime. You know the hits, you
know the one it's just one one of them hits or.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
A classic album that falls on deaf ears.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
And I'm talking about like the one of them classics,
like a classic classic. But it's like it's it's the
one that just remains not heard and remains the one
that doesn't It's not doesn't pay you, it's just you know,
gets slept on.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I take that hit, that one hit.
Speaker 4 (36:40):

progressing over the years.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Been a fan of his energy, been a fan of
his style, because when you talk about music nowadays, especially
hip hop, the word originality, I feel like it is
a lost art, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
And this this dude, he doesn't sound like anybody else.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
He has his own style and I think that that's
one of the things that sets him apart from everybody else.
From Compton, California, Holland is is here?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah, what's the dal Chuck here?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yiah?
Speaker 3 (00:47):

The music is there as well.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Man, talk about talk about this project you got out
right now?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Isn'm a list?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It is a malism, man, It's a whole lot of
culture in it. Real talk coming from Compton specifically, but
LA as a whole. I tapped in with a lot
of my Bay Area potners. Shout out to the Bay,
Shout out child Maine, shout out stunning, Stunning Man on two,
shout out Gap Dad for a thousand and so on
so on. Man, It's just it's a coming of age,
(01:23):
a story, you know. Just putting this project together. It
was a lot of mixed songs, but me and my
team we really sat down and got the vibe right
and put put put together a piece of project that
everybody remember.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know what's funny is you you being from Compton
and hearing is a malism. I'm a huge DJ Quick fan.
I instantly thought a rhythms and I'm like, oh, okay,
but you you mentioned the Bay and your influence over there,
so talk about how that ties into it. First with
with rhythmalism, and then your name Holland is, and then
you're tapping that in right as well. But you know
(01:58):
you mentioned that the debate the influencer, So talk to
me about the name first and foremost Holland is and
then titling titling it is and.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
What's there connection to DJ Quick and let me know
you know from there.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right, So Holland is. Holland is my last name. So
I wanted to pick something to represent not only me
but my whole family. So I put that first. And
then I just felt like I needed something to spice
it up, give it a little little bizzazz, So I
put it is because you know, Holland is fly, Holland
is incredible, Holland is is untouchable. It could be unlimited,
(02:35):
you feel me. So that's I like that play on
those words and I ran with that and it's stuck
with me and you caught it. Chuck man, am A
it's a it's a A. It's a it's a hat
tail to quick Man and shout out to quick Man. Yeah,
Like it runs so deep because uh, you know, like
(02:59):
my my pops, he used to rap and stuff, and
like just having Compton in everything I do, you know,
just embedded in me. You feel me. So I just
always have to throw those little easter eggs in here
to keep everybody engaged and just wondering like, oh did
he do that? Off of that? So I'm glad you
pointed that out.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It was funny is because you being from Compton, and
I compliment you when I say this as well, and
I've heard other people say the same thing.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You don't sound like anybody from Compton, you know what
I mean, which which is good.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It's actually great because you set yourself apart from it.
But is there is there any type of challenges that
come from that? Because when people say, always from Compton.
They have already have the stereotypes of what you're gonna
sound like, what you're gonna be rapping about, what you're
gonna look like, and when when when you see, when
you interact with you, when you see you, when you
(03:48):
hear the music.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
It's none of that, right Is that? Has that been
a challenge for you or do you like embrace it?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Man, I love that it's a little fifty fifty because
I like being the wild cord, you know, because they
be like, what, like you from Compton, you you're getting
down like this, you ain't talking about this or that.
And then the other side of the coin, it's like,
oh you from Compton, aware, right right? Well you feel me.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Like where your grandma said.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's like, so it's two flips of the coin. So
you know, I cherish both of them because you know,
like once you tell them like oh I'm from over here,
bottom bang or whatever, They'll be like, oh okay, okay
with where So man, just both sides of the coin
is dope to just be from Compton and you know,
just just wear it on my chest like I do
and and sport it, you know, So man, I don't
(04:43):
really trip off of those kind of things.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, I saw you, I remember. I want to say
it was twenty eighteen. It was before Sunny Days, A
drop right and Saluta the Homie rosecrans Vic. Yeah, I
want to say it was. It was at one of
those one of the showcases.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
That was the first time I had seen you.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I didn't know who you were, but you were one
of the standout artists that performed because the energy that
you had, it just it was so infectious. It was
just like, you know how it is that showcases number one.
You know how it is out here in La number two.
Everybody gonna have their arms fold, everybody just gonna look
at you. You know, we just we It's not that
we don't fuck with you, but it's like, you know,
(05:25):
it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And when you hit the stage, you commanded.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That attention to the point where you made me a
fan that night, and it was I'm sure it's been
the same for a lot of other people when they
see you hit the stage.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I'm talking about jumping on.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Speakers, getting in the crowd, and just really interacting with
the people to let them know that you really care
about this. Right and again that sets you apart from
from from a lot of other people. Where where does
that come from? Where does that energy come from? Have
you always been like a wild child? Because on the
flip side, when you actually meet and talk to you,
a lot of the times you get another side of
(06:00):
Holland is it's like he's super reserved, chill, laid back.
But this character on stage is like out of this world.
So where does where does that come at? Is it
a switch that flips when you hit the stage? Is
it a character that you intentionally was like, yeah, I'm
I'm a portrayed this, like to walk me through that man.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Just always growing up, I've always had just a lot
of energy and sometimes I didn't always always know how
to channel it. So like in school, like I'll be
showing out just to make people laugh, or just always
just doing quietly, you know, outlanded things just to you know,
I don't know, because that's always me. I'm always like
(06:41):
trying to get people to have fun. I want people
like to to interact and so like I've always had
that in me. But as I got older, I started
to really channel it into the music because I noticed,
like you know, in real life, not everybody always gonna
be super turned up. You know, they'll look at you crazy,
like why you so? What the heck? Like, so like
(07:04):
I had to all right, let me let me channel
this energy where I know it's gonna reciprocate, you know.
So and that was always the music. So when I
when I'm when I'm on stage or when I'm performing
in front of people, I want them to feel like, man,
I just had the best top of my life. Man,
I just partied what because like you said, like in
(07:24):
l A Man, everybody just sitting around they all mean mugging,
or they bored, or they just acting like they too cool.
So whenever I got the chance to just give off
the energy that I naturally have, I'm like, let's go.
I want to see everybody. I want to see everybody
at least shrugging a shoulder, or I want to see
somebody no on they head like something.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah. It's funny watching watching people reacting. And I've seen
like because I know how I reacted to it. But
I love watching the crowd when you up on stage
because you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Can see people like what's on? What is going on?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And then by the end you got you know, people out.
It's like Okay, they rocking, hands up or whatever the
case may be. So far, saluting you for not only
having that confidence, but you know, kind of like pushing
through that because I know that's not an easy thing
to do, and I know it probably took time, and
I'm sure your first time on stage wasn't like that,
and you know it evolved over time. I want to
(08:17):
get into Ismalism, man, let's do it. I want to
talk about this project. This is your third project, right technically.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes, yes, yes, officially that's my third project.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, so your third project.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What do you feel like or how do you feel
like you've grown over the years, and how is Isamalism
different from any other project that you put out?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So they days and then the one with U A.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Oh Man. I would just say this one, it took
a lot of preparation. Like me and my team and
my business partner shout out Scelario, shout out Dave oh Man,
we really took the time to playing the role out
and just kind of hone in and really figure out
what targets we want to hit, what kind of demographics
(09:02):
we want to hit, and just over all the sound
of the project and how clear we wanted things and
how we wanted how we wanted to sonically feel on
the ears, and man, it was really a process to
really show me how to better myself as a businessman,
(09:23):
because in this game, it's all about marketing. It's all
about putting yourself out there to the right people to
find your audience. So I feel like on this project,
I was able to really cultivate that, and being able
to go on tour before I dropped the project really
helped solidify that because I was able to actually get
(09:43):
out there and touch the people and give them a
copy early and let them know like, oh, this is coming,
and you know, just show them how I am and
who I am and what I do.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I mean, that's interesting that you said that, because I
would assume before it's like, yo, you just drop a
project and then promoted after the fact.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So this when you're saying the rollout was different, you
you know, strategically went on tour. What was your experience
going out to different markets and you know, going outside
of the area and getting outside of your comfort zone.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Was it was it something with you're like.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh, this is better than what I expected, or was
it like nerve wracking trying to you know, perform and
engage in front of a different audience for you.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Man, Honestly, people was telling me like I was asking,
and I'm sorry, where'd you go? Oh? Man? I went
to ten different cities. I went to New Mexico, I
went to Dallas, I went to uh Colorado, Colorado. I
went to Seattle, et cetera, et cetera. We man, we
hit some spots. Shout out mc bob. But yeah, like
(10:42):
I talked to a lot of artists before I went
out on tour, shout out to buddy, shout out, go
up dad, And I was just like, you know, picking
their brains apart. And one thing that everybody told me,
nothing goes right on tour.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
In your mind?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Right, boy? Was they not?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Like? So, what give me some of the things that
happened for you when you kind of expected and then
it just went totally left. What were some of those
experiences that even with them telling you that and you
having a heads up where you were.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Like, yo, what what is going on?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
What is this about?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So not to get to it to detail on all
the things, because it was it was a beautiful dope
tour man, Shout out no labels shout out mc bob
and everybody that was a party tour, but just some
instances of you know, I was under oppression. I was
going on tour with my whole team of two days
(11:37):
before they said you and one person only. I said, I.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Got everybody get their backpacks, brand the work they got,
they toe in trees and stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I'm like, I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Goodness, but I'm I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just want
to stay on here real quick.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So how did you deliver the news to your crew
that your team that you was expecting to go with
you couldn't go with.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
You had what was that call?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Let's stay so because they were just so worried about
me though, you know, they like, okay, well, how all right,
this is we're gonna do the pivot. All right, We're
now able to have a videographer with you. Let's hit
up everybody in East City to at least have somebody
you know there for you, or okay, this is what
you gotta do with your merch. Okay, all right, we
(12:27):
just had to pivot. And I didn't have no room
to be mad. I had no room to just you know,
I like.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
How you said before before we started the conversation, you
were telling me downstairs that he was like, I had
to man my own merch booth man like those type.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Of experiences though you can't get from anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And it's like I was telling you, I'm like, that
is going to help you out in the long run,
because now you know what it takes to do that.
You know how to interact with the fans in a
different way than a lot of other people probably don't
know how to you exact so it's still lessens hilarious.
I'm not gonna lie, and I know you was going
through it, but it makes the most of the situation
because now you have a story to tell.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Exactly and to be able, like you said, to like
wear that many hats. Honestly, I feel like everyone may
not be able. That may not be for everybody, but
as at the individual, I am like, I love this,
like every aspect from soundcheck. I was there from doors
(13:26):
opening to doors closing, Like I'm like, I'm helping the
soundcheck people, I'm getting you know, I'm getting close with
everybody on the tour, you know, So I just love it, man,
and like the difficulties of course, you're on the road,
you confined in little spaces. Everybody cranky and stuff like that.
But I'm in my own little world. You can ask
everybody on tour. They like, man, everybody people in the
(13:49):
in the sprinter arguing and stuff. I'm in the back.
I'm dancing this. You feel me, they like. So I
lined enough the mood and it was it was a
blessing to go on tour and just to be able
to like I didn't even though like if I was
gonna be able to sell tickets, so to sell tickets
and to sell merch and how people come out and
just show me love how they did and let me
know how they rock with me. Man, that that made
(14:13):
my whole life.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And on top of that, again you talked about like
understanding your tribe, and you know, I'm sure gaining a
fan or two or ten or fifteen in every city.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And it's like I was telling somebody to just that today.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You know, it's important on how you control that, how
you can talk directly to your people. Like you said,
it's a gang of people out there. I'm not trying
to impress those that not fucking with me. Who's fucking
with me?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And now that you are, now I know you are,
how can we stay in communications this whole time? So
I'm glad that you kind of picked up on that,
and you know not it made the most of it.
You know what I'm saying, regardless of whatever the situation is,
is a malism, all right? You got what twelve tracks
on here, Salute to the Homy Triz, you got Cyprus, Morento, Yeah,
Stunner man O two go out there, four thousand child
(14:59):
men mc bob as well Man talk about the construction
of this album, reaching out to these different people some
I'm sure you have relationships with others. You may have
to reach out and you know, cultivate a relationship, but
you know, and landing you know them on this particular project,
right man.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
For this project, honestly, I wanted to rock with all
the people that I felt like because don't don't get
me wrong, a lot of these people on the project,
they have a sense of status, but they still feel
underrated to me. And I feel like I'm underrated, like underrated, underground,
(15:44):
whatever you may say. And I just feel like everybody
on here like really connects to the music like I do.
You know what I'm saying. So like to be in
the studio with these individuals, and well I was in
the studio with all of them, but for most of
them like to bounce off energy and ideas. It was
it was a movie, man, it was. It was something
(16:05):
to I always look back on in my life and
be proud of.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, I was gonna say, like, what are some of
those experiences that you kind of like picked up on
because you know, whether whether you're in studio with somebody
'or not, Like, what what do you feel like you've
picked up from this particular project that in the past,
you just you know, it's something that you you grew
on with this particular album, whether it's learning from different
people or just feeling like you know, you've grown yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Like, what are some of the things that you picked.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Up from this album I got. I feel like I
finally gave myself the credit. Like with previous projects, I
always knew like, oh I got still got more, I
still got more to go, I still got more to go.
But this one I really felt like, yeah, I'm here
on this well, like from start to finish, I was
(16:52):
feeling each vibe on on on every song, It was
just like very pinpoint and just to touch on how
I'm feeling the topics, the quality of the music, the production,
because the production on There is Man executive produced by Solario.
Shout out by Dog Scelario Man real talk. He did
(17:12):
amazing on this project. Shout out the co producer. Shout
out tell Yo, Fatty, shout out and Dog Yeah, and
Dog sprinkled in there old choa and yeah Man like
to really bring it all home. It was just like
I set up a pot, started making gumbo and everybody
came through out of their own little spice to it.
(17:33):
You do know what I'm saying. So it just really
happened like that. But I feel like this time around,
I really like seeing the growth and like hitting the
to hitting the tour. It really showed me like, oh yeah,
this is it's hitting. It's hot. It's hot right now.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
What did you learn from from Pops growing up?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I mean and initially like when when you you know
him and getting into music, was that the initial inspiration
for you or did the inspiration come later down the
line in terms of one to actually do music.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Of course, like my Pops, he had a big He's
definitely a big inspiration into my career growing up. I
would say it really more developed in my later years,
like my teenage, Like from thirteen to i'll say sixteen,
I was really like just just student of the game
(18:28):
and just really cultivating my background on on like the
artists that I liked and where they came from and
what really inspired these artists to be who they are
and the type of music that they make. Like a
lot of people don't know, like music is really like
my heart. This is like everything to me. So like
(18:49):
I've spent nights and days just just sitting there listening
to music, reading the back cover arts of albums, and
just going through the produced or the executive producer, you know,
everybody you know, to the people that played the instruments.
So to be able to you know, really because my
(19:12):
my pops always told me, like this game is treacherous,
like either you're gonna do it or don't do it,
you know, So like I always had that in the
back of my mind, like if I'm gonna do this,
I'm gonna do it, you know, to the neck, to
the fullest. So but once I really stepped out there
on my own and really started getting my feet wet,
and like dropping songs and getting getting feedback from you know,
(19:35):
some notable cats in the city. Shout out Roddy, shout
out Kalin because a lot of people know. Man, you know,
I'm not that type of dude to be name dropping
this stuff, and you.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Know, get your game. But like you know, your boy
being around and your boy you feel me just see
some things like you coming up and and just being.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Just tell them, let them know.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Man wrote the box for Roddy Rich and I'm sorry
to break the news, y'all.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Man, it was Holland is this whole time.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That's the is.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
That's Holland Is.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But Na, no shout shout out. Shout out Rodny Ridge though,
because he he's definitely a big inspiration. Because when I
dropped my first song, I was working. I was still
working at food for Listen Compton, and I was outside
pushing cards. Bro pulled up on me. He was bumping
my song and he was like, hey this you run
do them up?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
He's like, hey, Bro, this's hard dog, And I'm like,
I'm like, god, I already knew who he was. He
wasn't who he is now, but you know, he was
on his way up and I'm like, oh, I'm like
good looking, Bro, we gotta get in the studio with
the wom He like, oh, for sure. You know we
locked in. We connected. We tried to get in the studio,
but you know, he got his situation with Atlantic and
he blew up and to be who he is. But
(20:50):
a year later he came back to the store in
the Rose Royce crazy. He said, get in there. I was, Look,
I was in my april.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Look, I was in my april about fifteen talking about
some so is nice in here.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
You're like somebody else figured it out. I ain't coming back.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Hey, get the cars, Nigga, I ain't coming back. But
it just that was inspi raising to me, like I was,
I'm never to dude to like get jealous or mad
at anybody's success because I know they're just they just
like me, Like you get what I'm saying, Like we
come from the same cloth, like we got to you
feel me so like to see people like blossom it
(21:34):
to who they are, Bro, it's a blessing. Like it's
a blessing feel.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Being in the car. And then nigga have to get
to go back after that. You gotta tighten the apron
back up, Like, man, I.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Went into the bathrootball forty minutes after that, I was
in that bathroom bore.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I was like, I'm talking to God, like help me out, please.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Oh man, the car hell I hot.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But no, that that motivated me. Honestly, it gave me
more energy. I probably went back to work feeling really good.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Blocked it out. I don't remember that I was hot.
I was pissed.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Nah, But that that's dope that you're able to kind
of like see that up close and personal, see somebody
that you have. You know that that you know somebody
that's in reach, you know what I'm saying, and seeing
what what's what's possible?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I think that that that type of inspiration always lights
a fire, like okay, yeah, I can do it too,
especially if somebody's from the same city that was literally
in the same store. You know what I mean That
that is a you know that complimented the music. So
I know that I think those type of instances happen
in life for a reason. I mean that you took
it like as that and not like because you know,
(22:46):
everybody reacts different ways, and.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Some people could take that situation and something bitter.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You mentioned something about your pops telling you, you know,
this game is treacherous.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
If you're gonna be all in, be all in.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
When when was that moment for you that you were like, Okay, no,
no more one foot in, want out.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I'm gonna really take it as serious as I should.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I'll say it was a time where I felt like
I wanted I wanted this bad, so bad for other individuals.
I was getting in in the way of the way
of it. For myself, like I was working with other
people that I felt like that was.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Very talented, got it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
But it wasn't the right timing and necessarily the right situation.
And people have to grow and learn, you know, individually
as well. And it was a point in time where,
like I remember, like nothing was going right. It was
like I was booking shows and I was having certain
people with me and and it wasn't it wasn't given.
(23:55):
And I remember one day I was just feeling real bad,
like this guy on my knees, I'm like, God, what
am I supposed to be doing? Like it's like, why
is everything not going right? And then he told me,
like little who's around you? And then once I and
not to say, because man, I'm a person like I
see the good and everybody like I got I kick
(24:19):
it with homie, I kick it with people that's homeless.
I kick it with It's just like, why arrange, I
don't care, Like if you got a haarder go like
I'm rocking with you, you didn't know what I'm saying.
So it's like, but at the same time, you have
to protect your energy as well, because a lot of
people won't cherish cherish it as they should. And sometimes
(24:41):
people won't won't get that till you gone, especially if
they have access to you.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You feel me, they feel like, oh, this is gonna
be here forever, you know, they take it for granted.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, part so you had to learn how to put you.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
First exactly and separate the god it got it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
So at that point it was like, Okay, let me
stop putting that energy and effort in the other people
and put it more in myself.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Now. Was this before Sunny Days dropped or after?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Uh, stay sunny? I remember that, my bad, but it
was it was actually before that. It was a little
before that, So stay Sunny. That's when I really started
locking in.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Gotcha, Okay, Yeah, sure, Okay, that actually makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Now again, the energy, the energy that you have, man,
is just so infectious. Like a lot of people compliment
you based off of that. When is the last time
Holland is just lost his ship because you strike me.
It's just a nice person who pitched.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You off as my pops, you know, your loved ones,
they get under your skin like nobody else.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Now is it coming from love or is it like
like tough love or is it like what what what?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
What? What has Pops done that kind of make make
you upset?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I mean, you know, it's just every day living. Sometimes
there's little stuff. Sometimes it's you know, stuff in the past,
you know. But you know, I'm I'm the type of
person like I get I don't look at that. I
don't look at look at that type of stuff. I
just really look at the person that they are in
the in the in the time being. But sometimes, you know,
everybody got the day, you know, everybody. You know, some
(26:27):
people get on your nerves and stuff like that. But
for the most part, I try not to, Like, I
don't like, I really don't be turned up unless somebody
tried me. I ain't gonna lie when people try to
play me like, I don't know who I don't know
what I'm talking about. I'm not who I am, you know,
Like that's when I turn up on people for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I was gonna say, if I ever see Holland is mad,
I know the other person did something wrong.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
It's not It's not Holland. You didn't need something to
piss them off.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Holland is the nicest dude you couldn't, you know what
I mean? Like all what always with a smile, always
carry himself with just positive energy and I love that
about you. Now, Okay, have you got a chance to
you know, I know that the ismalism quick reference. Have
(27:15):
you got a chance to connect with Quick at any
point in time throughout your career, your life, whether it
just be a studio session kind of peeping the scene,
or or even present your music to him?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Heck yeah, Him and sugar Free, Me and Quick we
linked up in New York like two like two years ago.
He had a show at the Sobs. He brought me backstage.
What showed me not belove Rodney Yo was there? Yeah,
he was just giving me game. He was just like
man like you you the new lineage of Compton. You
(27:49):
feel me like you gotta take this father than I
ever did. And he was just saying stuff like that
to me, and I'm like, oh, shoot, man, you know
it was just off of you know, a couple songs
he heard you feel Me from a mutual friend and
stuff like that. But man, no, yeah, no, shout out
to quick man. He showed me nothing but love when
I was out there in New York, and I needed
(28:11):
that when I was out there because you feel me
Like New York, it was a little intimidated. I thought
everybody's gonna be mean and stuff, but everybody's pretty nice
for really yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Man, man, I don't know, man, depend on what I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I feel like New York and la are the same,
and the sense they're two different, like the same in
the sense of like what people expect from them is
completely not not completely different. But it's like, I don't know,
it's just people say that if you can make it anywhere,
you make it in New York. But it's based off
of like the people that I got a lot of
people from New York.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
That I know, and the how they're portrayed versus how
they really are.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Like they're loyal as fun but at the same time,
it's like, yo, you they don't you don't know them like.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
That where you make them when you see New Yorkers, man,
what they would be.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Down the street?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Every form too though, right, so off this project always,
I'm starting to ask this question more and I'll probably
updated at some point. We used to always ask what's
what's the business card track?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
What's the best representation you feel off of ismalism? That
is the best representation of who Holland is is right now,
if you have to walk up to somebody on the
street and be like, yo, this is me now, and
don't say the whole project, one particular song, one particular
track on.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
There, that's the best representation of Holland is.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I'll go with Baller number Folloer and why Baller. I
feel like it's just a it's a fun monstrous track.
Now'll get you straight to the ism, like get you
straight to the party, straight to the fun and straight
to the action. Shout out ant Dog and DJ Looney
(29:57):
for the production, and shout out will he be in
Black for orchestrating everything for that one, because it's crazy, man,
I was. I was up at TV one one night
and they was playing beats and they played this particular beat.
I'm like, damn this, I'm like, it's hard. I'm like
(30:18):
and the whole time, I didn't know who produced it,
and I'm just thinking it's probably a dude that they
know that they work with. And then I asked them
one day, I said, Hey, who produced that baller track?
They was like, oh, your boy and dog.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I'm he didn't put that in to be paid I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I'm like, how y'all getting I'm like, that's my whole project.
You would have put that one in there. I was flabbergast,
and I'm like, I knew I liked that beat for
some reason. So man, man, yeah, I'll say Baller because
it's just it gets real motion picture.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Viobes for me. What can you tell me about rain Forever?
That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Rain Forever. Yeah, that's especially one to me too. That
was the first single that we rolled out, and yeah,
it's just real real hip hop, real real scratches, just
straight to the core with it. Yeah, shout out Scelario. Man,
me and Scelario. It's it's a different chemistry between us.
(31:19):
And because we was in the studio and we made
that Uh, he had his last LA show out here
and we was in the studio with a couple of colleagues.
Shout out, Uh Roady Rose, shout out Dusty Fuller recipes Disco.
They was all in the studio and uh, yeah, man,
(31:42):
it was just given the vibe and uh, I just
wanted to really represent l A and I want to
put everybody in there. If you really listen to the songs, that's.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Crazy, you know.
Speaker 3 (31:58):

Speaker 4 (32:12):
To meet the tourings.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, so I had to I got to do better.

showing me love. So yeah, I was over there and
they're like, oh yeah, Quap coming. I'm like, who's Quap?
But I knew his face, I just didn't have I
didn't put the name to the face. And then he
came in and Bro, it was just like a comedian.
(33:32):
Like I was sitting there, asked Buddy. I said he
I said, hey, Bro, it's the cool if I use
the bathroom. He said, you just asked him to use
the bathroom. I'm like, I can't he like, bro, Like
he like, I'm from the bank. You gotta use the bathroom.
Just get up and go use the bathroom. I was like, okay, bro,
(33:53):
but but yeah, I hadn't wapped that on a project.
Was really dope because I really rocked with the Bay
and I rock with his style, and for him to
you know, show love like he did and hopped on
the record was crazy. Uh stunning, man. I actually didn't
have a relationship with him at the time, but my
(34:13):
producer did and he had the verse and he just
felt like it fit and which is crazy. This past
week at Yeah yeah no no, not not com Defest,

doing it. And then you guys got a chance to
link up after the fact that it just shows how
technology he works, and you know, the way the world
things happen for the right reason. Man, I've been locked
in with him for a couple of years, so it
only makes sense that, you know, you guys have kind
of did your thing.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Man. Man the shout out to them because they just
played that. They just played that single on the on
the radio on the bay. Man. Yeah, so we were moving,

Holland is Chambridge choices? Man, Holland is uh never perform
again or never rap again?

be easy. I should have started with the easy one.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
You should have checked. That's crazy, bro. I'll say, I
love the people too much, so I'll say never rap again.
But I know that's a lot. I'll probably still be
I'll be wrapping in my head.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
What how to do in the corner? All right?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
So have one one of those hit records that's gonna
pay you for a lifetime. You know the hits, you
know the one it's just one one of them hits or.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
A classic album that falls on deaf ears.
Speaker 1 (36:23):

like a classic classic. But it's like it's it's the
one that just remains not heard and remains the one
that doesn't It's not doesn't pay you, it's just you know,
gets slept on.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I take that hit, that one hit.
