it was like my first fo them. Now it's like
I'm experiencing everything all that one, you know what I'm saying,
Like the highs and the lows, just everything that come
with the fiend. It's been like the tricky past year,
you know, especially losing my dad Dad last year, just
at the highest point of my life while I was
(01:03):
on tour selling off shows. I got to call offt
my dad. So just balancing that and working on the album.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
She was in Europe when you got that car.

Yeah, it messed me up bad, Like I get chills

Like I cry every time, like I could think. Yeah,
it was just my mom put me on FaceTime. It
(01:32):
was like your dad going like I couldn't believe it.
I'm like, let me see now. I looked at his face,
his shoulds out, his body. I'm like, there's nothing I
could do, though, you feel me, I'm I'm twelve hours away.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So it hit me every time I think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And that's that's what the record I guess would meet
me proud of me because you're both lost your dad
and that's what you're.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Talking about in that song.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, for sure you reached out to meet for that

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah? I was at the actually in New York.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
My album was already turned then, so I pulled up
on meat at the concert, just chopped it up.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Meet showed me love.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
He was one of the few artists that brought me out,
brought me after my first show twenty thousand people, you
feel me. So we've been locked in since. And I
dropped a song like a month after my dad died,
and then Meet dm me like my dad died too,
So we connected even more on that. And my album
was done, Like I made that song probably like two
months ago.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
I just called him because I knew he was gonna
touch his heart, you know what I'm saying. And we
was on FaceTime for like three hours. You know what
I'm saying. I'm like, I'm pulling up on you in
New York, like I need this verse, Like I pulled
up on him. He told me, like, bro, I've been
the writer's block for the past month, but I'm gonna
knock this joone out for you feel me. So he
was in the booth for eleven hours, Like I watched
(02:44):
him stay in the booth eleven pm at eleven am,
just making sure he got this done for his dad.
You know what I'm saying, because like that hits different, Yeah,
different from sure.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Yeah, and the album is some days I'm good, some
days I'm not. Now I can't help but to to
notice on the cover.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah you don't look happy at all.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah for sure, it's.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
A dope cover, but yeah it definitely speaks.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It screams that you're not okay.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Facts and like that's how I wanted to cover. You
feel me.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Everybody around me smiling too, Like being at this position
you almost make everybody else have because they're all getting
something from you. So you might be outside everybody had
because like but they not even wondering, like how Friar
really doing because it's a lot on him, you know
what I'm saying, Like nobody asks you, like they don't
really care because you feel you feel me and you
(03:35):
putting them in positions like you change my life, but
they don't never even think like what burg going through?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
But you know on the Proud Proud of Me record,
you talk about how hurt you are, but then you
say you you heal your pain by buying.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Diamonds on diamonds, Yeah for sure. So a lot of
people are gonna be like, oh he good.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Nah, it's just something that like it's just something that
gave me happy. You know, I might be messed up
and just go to the feel me go to shine
real quick. I don't even got to buy Joory. Y'all
just chilling in the Joey store. Just look at it.
You feel me because it's one of my trophies to me,
you know what I'm saying. I'm one of them guys
like I ain't gonna wait for somebody give me a trophy,
So I'm gonna go buy my own trophy retail therapy.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But it's temporary though, Like how long does that last?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Yeah, it's temporary, but it's a trophy to me, you
know what I'm saying. So it's something like I worked
hard my whole life for you know what I'm saying.
It's equal to a Grammy. I look at this like
a Grammy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
For sure me put on my domontant. Let me seef.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
You should be happy about stopp Man. Go ahead, you
might be out here happy for no reason.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
All the way, I was gonna ask, you know, how
long did it take you to do this album? Because
listening to the album, because you feel the pain from
the first song, Yeah, from the first song, how long
did it take you to do this album? How difficult
was it to do this album? And there's so many
elements in this album that that screamed gospel.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, it took me like eighteen months through this album.
Like the last album, I was very still, like I
ain't even gonna tour yet. I just locked in for
like a month straight and just boomed two months, fourteen songs.
But this album, I was on tour, two tours, losing
my dad, So it was like it all came together
like in eighteen months. That's why it's even twenty one
(05:25):
songs on this album. It was just a process of
me recording through the whole year making good music. I
couldn't even take nothing out, you know what I'm saying.
And it's also the reason why I said double disc
you feel me. I got a lot of fans that
love the R and B side of me, and the
other fans that love the life, you know what I'm saying,
the pain side of me. So I separated in that
way just to feed my fans, you know what I'm saying.
(05:45):
It's been a long time.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Besides, you grew up in church.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
My dad my dad's pastor you know what I'm saying,
that's why I learned everything. Like he forced music on me,
you know what I'm saying. It wasn't no musicians in
the church show. He told me and my brothers, y'all
got to learn something. You know what I'm saying, y'all
gonna play something. And it kind of like came natural,
Like I was playing instruments and singing in the choir.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Since I was like eleven, I wonder what the Meek
verse was It the writer's block or the difficulty of
making the verse, or the fact that y'all was, you know,
sitting up talking about grief that took eleven hours, Like
what do you think it was?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I think it's everything, you know what I'm saying. Like
when you make a song for somebody you lost, it's
like you gotta get it done. You gotta do the
best you can for that person. In that session too,
if you look at my Instagram, I was probably crying
tears the whole session, you know what I'm saying. Like
because while he was coren we couldn't hear. But like
when he finished his verse, even though he lost his
(06:42):
dad when he was a kid, a lot of the
stuff he was saying, like was touching my heart in
a different way, Like I got everything, but I just
really want to hold hands with my old man on
wedding day while I slow dance you feel me and
just I lost my dad then my brother got married.
My pot wasn't at that, So everything he was saying
was just hitting my heart. So that that session was
(07:02):
a therapy session.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Bro. We was crying real tears in there.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
What other healthy conversations have led to art?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Uh, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Like other conversations that you've had with people that lead
the music.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I get.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I get music like that. It's like a lot from
a like experience, especially combos. Even like I got a
song called some Days I'm Good some Days I'm Not
on the album Like that was a conversation I have
with my manager just finding an album titled and then
we found it and right after we found it, I
just went to my basement, produced it and just freestyle
that song.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So a lot of my music come from experience for sure.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Hell yeah, because empty Stomach is still my favorite.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Oh yeah, she had they That's why I love just
she been showing me love since the beginning for real, though.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I was gonna ask what else you've been dealing with
on on on this album in the last I guess
eighteen months cause besides your father past and I mean
listening to some of these songs, it seems like your
friends are snake you. Yeah, it seems like like you know,
your friends only out for one thing.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
A girl did you dirty?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Like there's so much pain, Bro, I wanted to get
after he listened job, I said, I gotta get this
brother a hug, like you've been dealing with what else you.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Want to hug? Because you want to.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Period, but like something comes down wait for me, like
this records never leave like this records where you're hurting.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
I say, like being the first person to make it out,
it's like a blessing and a curse. And it's like
when you make it out, all odds is on you.
And I'll say this, like it'll be like the closest
people around you like is look at you to everything.
You know what I'm saying, and they even blame you
(08:48):
for everything. You feel me Like you just wake up
and you get five calls like, Bro, what you think
about this musics like you feel me. I'm like, talk
to me. Niggas don't got no clue what they want
to do. I'm like, all right, but old Friday weirdo here.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You don't want invested in my business, then that's another Joe.
You feel me.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
And it's like I'll say this, like bringing people to
the water, it's a blessing and a curse because they
don't they take it for granted. I'll say that, and
then they'll blame it on you. You feel me in
a way like say you bring people backstage, right, I
put people in this room, they'll look at you to
do everything else.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
No, look at the room with a look at no food.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, they in the room with you and they be like, yo, tech,
Charlie main Ro. Just put you in the room. You
just met eighty artists, but you worried about girls. You
ain't leaving new numbers, and then you go to sleep
like Friday ain't putting me in a position. The only
thing you could ask for is the door to be open.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You feel me.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
So that's one of the things big things going through,
like making it out for sure.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'll tell you something that I would somebody would have
told me earlier focus on yourself can nah for sure,
because you can travel farther alone, and then when you
finally get in the position you want to be, then
you can help who is worthy of facts. You know
another thing too, man, you say that the pain won't
go away, or you say that on some days I'm good,
some days I'm not. It's like it's not you know,
it's not really supposed to. Yeah, you're supposed to just
(10:15):
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You're supposed to deal with it and understand it more
and find it good in it.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah, you said, I know, you know, you might want
to escape from it and you know, have a little
drink or buy some joy. But it's just it's a
natural thing, like you should be grieving you lost your pops.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Sure, yeah, I'm learning that. I'm learning that as the
days go by, Like I just understand it more. You
feel me, I understand it and take it as a
lesson how I'm supposed to be moving forward with my life.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So yeah, that's fact. It will never go.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Away though, I know, shopping for jewelry and you know,
just sitting in the jewelry store that that's your trophy,
that's your therapy. But you don't have a professional therapist
that you see.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
I'm thinking about it, but now yet, I just I
really just go to the studio. You feel me? I
just I don't know. It's kind of weird. I don't
want to like pull my life out to somebody I
don't really know. You feel me in I don't want

what else you got?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Ten minutes text knowledge right after I appreciate you saying
three minutes without knowledge.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
No, but I like it though, because you talk about
how you put a woman through a lot of ship.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, I ain't say that. What you're walking about? What
song you're talking about? To come home? Oh yeah for
sure in a way, in a way, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
But to have that level of self awareness.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Yeah, that's a that's a great record, right and wise.
You know it's special like this is this explaining like
is it too late for me to come home? Like
me being outside late and doing all my dirt and
just coming home. You know, when you come home, you
don't feel like you don't want to get nobody. Huh,
you got a wash up first, you.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Know what I'm saying. It's like going to them songs.
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
You said you steady trying to come up your filthy side. Yeah,
you come home with a lot of baggage. I've been
hard to manage.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
That's song crazy And it's not having about love. It's
about whoever you're coming home to, you know what I'm saying,
Even if it's your kid, when you come home to
see your mom, you gotta clean up. Like me, I'm
coming to see my mom. I gotta take a shore
if I'm doing something crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
You know, for sure, do you feel like you have
to I guess hide things, hide the way you're feeling
sometimes because you said that earlier, like you don't want
to express yourself to people. So if you do get
close to a woman, but you are having one of
them days when you grieving or something shit.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
And you be able to share that with it, Uh
yeah sometimes. But like I'll say, like sometimes women like
they take that for weakness when you when you like
really open up to them, like so that's how my
dad was to you. Almost gotta be like really strong,
you feel me native and just saying women just throw
it in your face, your weakness.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
But it's just like they don't want you, you know
what I'm saying. It's like they look down on you.
Most women.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
It's like they look down on you when you're weak
and from what I've seen, you know what I'm saying,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That hold you down.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
It's just like they just expect the men all the time,
you know what I'm I'm saying, They just expect that
protector to provider, like they don't even the emotions.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's not worried about that most of the time. For sure.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It was crazy. That's what men we need. Yeah, we
be needing that. We always want to be the protectors
and provided.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
For sure. You mess around to show you how you feel,
she tell you how how she feel right after Damn.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
When you get upset, you like, well this time, but
it's like, damn, I can't express myself without you throwing
it back at me, Like it's like, let me feel
how I feel. Like I was telling my brother that
I don't think men can feel how they feel in
front of woman.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You're trying the right one.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You can, Yeah, I know, throw it back in your face.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
That's not the right one because you can't be open
at anytime that you feel the way. You can never
express yourself fully.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Now one call away feature on Chris Brown. I love
you know, I love Chris Brown. Friday Fancy, I love
Chris Brown. Your every song y'all have together as a bop?
Speaker 4 (17:50):

Speaker 6 (17:52):
You can just call and just I wrote for Chris
Brown beforeever was an artist, you know what I'm saying.
I came in this game as a writer and producer first,
So I was running around l a just writing for people.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And he was like the first big artist that I
wrote for.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I wrote on two songs on his album with Brice
and Tailor and Little Dirt, And we ain't really meet
yet you feel me, But when God did and everything
came out, he dm me like, bro let's locked in
in person.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You know what I'm saying. I lie doing.
Speaker 6 (18:19):

gotta get to La tomorrow. You feel me, So I'm like, y'
I'm be here tomorrow. He invited me to his crib
and it was just like love ever since. You know
what I'm saying. He was one of the most humble
artists I ever met in my life. Like he just
let me have my way, like cook up. You feel me?
(18:40):
He like, I just want to rock with you, like
do what you need to do in the studio and
just tell He's telling me, like you could leave me

So ever since then, we've been locked in. So every
time I call him, he pick up for sure.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
What do you think makes that connection so special? But
you know, the industry is so fake. What makes that
connection so special?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
At first, it's just the music, like a fan of
each other, you know what I'm saying. Then when you
meet somebody in a real, genuine he could really have
a conversation, like past the music and talk for hours
in the studio and create something y'all love.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's just a special thing.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
It's what crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We talked about it and the STU like it would
be crazy.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
But you know, we're doing our own thing too, so
we gotta we gotta push our goals first.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What do you before you befoer doing the afro beat
sounding records or the or the more the R and
B sounding records.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
They both vibe. Yeah, they I like it equally, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Because growing up Haitian, afro bating Jamaican music was like
second home in New York, you know, so it's like, yeah,
so I like it both.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Equally for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
How much the guy I did change your life?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Change everything?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I ain't gonna really talk about financially, did you get
I signed my first artist deal right after God?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Did you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
And I was still in the hood when it came out,
you know what I'm saying, Like came out I heard.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't even know my voice was on there. I
was just waiting.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Midnight came, I heard my voice. I seen the future.
I'm like everything about the change. You know what I'm saying.
I like, I'm i gotta get out this hood though,
you know what I'm saying, Like then I bought a crib.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You feel me? It changed everything?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Was that the third year because I saw you talking
about how your third year is when you really started
making money and this business was that.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, I'll tell any artists like at first, the first
year is really like sacrifices if you're doing it the
right way, like I feel like a lot of artists
they do it like I wouldn't say the wrong way.
But it's just like a money grad just like for
shows of course, like, nah, some money grad, I'm coming
with me and my DJ and just rocking it up
out just to get the whole. But me, I like
(22:02):
to present a certain show, like I gotta make sure
to sound right. I gotta make sure I got a
band like you feel me. So for me, the first
year was more sacrifice, yeah, breaking even like my tour,
like I ain't even you feel me. It was even
I might have to come out of pocket sometimes, you
know what I'm saying. But this like this the year,
like I feel like I start making more money for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
What do you call real money?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Like what you don't got to give a number, but yeah,
I want a number, Like what what did you maybe financially?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
What did you be? What were you able to do
that made you say, Okay, now I'm making real money.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
You don't what I'm able to do now, like I'm
able to help the people I love. That's that's like
at first, you know, when you shine, they don't really
understand a million dollars turn into three four hundred thousand
feeling pay you.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Pay your team and all that.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
But but everybody looking at you like you got an
emmor two, you know what I'm saying, And they got
their hand out, like yo, you're supposed to feel me.
A nigga might ask you for a hundred thousand like
you feeling that's how you think you saw I feel
And we grew.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Up together bowls enough to ask somebody.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's crazy. But it's just a mindset thing.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
So now, like two three years in, I'm just I'm
more comfortable with you feel me helping my family, You
feel me giving them money?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That's that's what I feel like, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Now are you honest with them? What do you tell them? Like, look,
it ain't that yet.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah, I had I had a few shit down last year,
like a year and a half, Like, really, explain like
you feel me?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It's not that. Don't you feel me?
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Because most artists, they would even pretend in front of
their family is that you feel me, and they be.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Like you bragg into us as that and we starving.
So I'll make them look at you and even build
a hate.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
You feel me, So you gotta be honest with them,
explain with this what it is you feel me, and
they'll understand.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
They'll understand.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I'll be acting like I'm star No, that's just what
y'all see club, I say it all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
No, that's what you guys say you might have to
put it a little low word to you feel design night.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
I'm like, I'm an intern up there, I'm not really.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, I bought this chain. They started asking for more
than on, like what.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Why you should be happy that the detested wouldn't go?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
But I know him to make sure you get with
it with it went on, don't edit though, what try
to do to you. That's how I heard his peep
whole Instagram clip it cut off. They definitely off cutting
it doing it. He check the editor like the last
thing is gonna be like, yo, I'll go with you, jewel.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
But how is the work of with Will Smith?
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I'm going to the song with.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
His Uh you can make a song, you can make it.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Will Smith's a Philly legend. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I actually made that hook like twenty one, twenty two
and you heard it this year by producer Ao and
then he just did the verses.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So it was love. Since he just hit me like, yo,
we got a record and he sent it to me.
Was love.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I know all the old head and Philly around you
really thought you made it then?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, especially the old gez like my mom and all that.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
My aunt say like you got you feel me? You
got a record with Will. I'm like, yeah, you feel me?
That was that was a big moment. Yeah how far
did you? I'm sure you moved out of Philly?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah? How fast did you move out of Philly? Real fast?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Because it was getting like it was getting a little bad,
you know what I'm saying. Crib just Pete walked down
the street like old Friday, you feel me. The first week,
it was like nobody even knew my face. It was
just saying my name so I can go to the club.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm here.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
It bore Friday snapped, I don't know it's me. But
it was like like three three weeks later, a month,
I'm like, I gotta get out of here. You know
what I'm saying, I don't even feel safe. You know
what I'm saying, I don't even feel safe. So that
was the first thing I did. I bought a crib
and I moved. I moved away.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
You move with your aunts and your uncle and.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No, no, I went to I moved with my mom.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And all that for sure was it's something that happened
or you just felt it.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
No, I just felt it Philly like crazy like that.
It's like a dangerous city. So it's like I already
know what to come with, you know what I'm saying. Especially,
it's like it's not a lot of it's not a
lot of resources out there. So when you when you're
the one getting a little bit of money, not even
like God did. I'm talking about even if you just
up and coming. It's a lot of upcoming rappers with
(26:19):
thirty thousand followers, heigs getting shot just because niggas hating
on your niggas hating all your success. So I had
God did with jay Z, so niggas look at I
knew I had to do it for sure.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
That don't make no sense to me, man, Like why
would you, you know, try to hurt somebody who potentially
could help your whole situation, whole community.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But they don't really look at it like that. Yeah,
they more look at it like wow, wow him and
not me. And they look at it like.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Shouldn't be here and it should be me. You know
what I'm saying. It's more of a threat, bro, Like
it's dangerous for Philly for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Who's your support system?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:57):
I keep my brothers close, especially my mom close to.
Like every time I get a chance, I go see
my mom for sure, shout the one, pray over me
and all that before I leave the cribs. That's my
support system for sure, my mom and my brothers.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Yeah. You know, there's this thing called the five stages
of grief, right, and it's a series of emotions people
experience after a loss. And it's now anger, bargaining, depression,
and accept it. Where do you think you at?
Speaker 6 (27:25):
I mean, I'm almost accepted, y'all say that. I mean,
I'm almost there. You feel me.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm understanding it more and more as time goes by, because.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
It's a lot of wires and house you know what
I'm saying, Like the way the way my father died,
the way somebody died, it could be like DN, like
why I had to go like this? You know what
I'm saying. So it's more like why. And I'm kind
of accepting it right now for sure.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, how would you like his legacy to be remembered?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Just about what I'm doing now, like putting my rail
in my music, inspiring people, giving people good words of
encouragement and all that.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
That's why I keep it in the music how I
can because I know I'm doing right. You know what
I'm saying. I could do a whole R and B
album if I want to, and some people want that,
but I know it's people that need the real you
feel me, the real music that get them through life.
Like my DMS is crazy, Like a lot of people
into jails listening to me. A lot of people like
about to commit suicide. A lot of a lot of
(28:29):
people like I saved them through their day, you know
what I'm saying, and I just me reading them DMS.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I don't take that for granted.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
So I feel like I'm doing his legacy right now
because he taught me everything.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Did you get to hear him say that he was
proud of.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah for sure. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I bought him that crib and I just told him
it's because of you. You know, it's because of you.
You don't gotta pay a bill, like you know, he
gave me music, He forced it on me. You know
what I'm saying. He gave me God, he showed me everything.
So it was like, yeah, for sure, even.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
When I went to York.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Before I went to York, I'm like, bro, I'm about
to go to York. You know what I'm saying. Forget
the US. I'm about to go to York and do
a europe tours because of you. I looked him in
his eyes, look because of you. Feel me the way
he died, like you see, like the levard ball thing
he had to imputate his leg, that was kind of
like my dad's situation. But I got Haitian parents, so
(29:27):
it's like they got a lot of pride. Like my
mom and dad be like, we ain't cutting off his leg,
but the doctors would be like, I think it's smart
for you to cut off the foot right now, like
so won't go up. So it's probably be like six years,
like three four years. My mom like, no, we ain't
doing that. Too much pride, like, let's do something else.
(29:48):
So my dad joint is spread, spread it up, you
know what I'm saying. So last time I went to
the doctor, like we gotta go about the knee, you
know what I'm saying. And that was the last time
I was with my pot like it was about to
cut his first like leg off on top of his knee.
He just looked at me, balling up like they really
(30:08):
about to take my leg off.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'm like, we cried like an hour before he went
in there you feel me.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
And I went to tour like I went to tour
that wait, and I performed the first show and they
said they about to cut.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
The other leg off. They have to right then, like
everything just stopped. I'm like, yeah, I don't know how
we're gonna do this.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
She feel me like it really hit my heart. So
once they cut the other leg, that's when we lost them.
You feel me, So that's why it's more of a
while like you feel me. It's more of a while
right now, Like I don't really understand how he went,
but I know God, like knew, like my mom may
want to see my dad like that, I feel she
more at peace right now. I feel like she more
at peace, even though it's a hard thing. She more
(30:54):
at peace knowing he in a better place than seeing them.
How we would have slid absolutely, Wow, I love you,
no for sure? Truth that album is out right now.
Some days I'm good, some days I'm not.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Have you performed in Hadiot, No, no, no, it's a
little tricky in Haiti.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Right now, I want to go so bad, But like
you feel me, a lot of people be like, nah,
not right now, you feel me? But I gotta I
gotta compo song on his album Future Enjoy Your Direct Philly,
you feel Me. It's called composa Haitian gyra and I
feel like since why Cleft is about to be one
of the biggest songs to just show Haiti in front
of the world, in a big way, in front of
(31:33):
the mainstream. So all my Haitian is excited about that
for sure.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
What's the misconceptions about Haiti you you would like to
clear up as artist?
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Yeah, the first thing when people in America think of
Haiti is just I'll say, they just think of like
a bit like a bad country, you know what I'm saying,
like or they think about they think about all the bad,
but it's a lot of good in it, you feel me.
They never like really go there and see the good
and it's a lot of product that come out of it.
(32:04):
It's just like we just it's just L after L
what they put on the news. That's how they show Haiti.
They don't never show the good side. They don't never
show a good.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Part of it.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
I feel like in America they they only show Haiti
when it's some bad stuff. Happening, not always, not never
when it's some good stuff, you know what I'm saying.
So I feel like it's gonna change it a little bit.
Like Haiti's a great place. It's a lot of talent,
It's a lot of great people out there.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
When I think about Haiti, I think about some strong people.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Yeah, we're bothed against white supremacy, yah, for sure, and
white SUPREMACIYT has been making that country pay for it
ever since.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Yeah, something I look at it something like that too,
you know what I'm saying, First, independix strongest people.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
I gotta do more research, but I just feel like
you feel me. Something happened, like they just made it
that way, you know what I'm saying. Even separating Haiti
from dr and all that, at first it was one.
It was one people, you know what I'm saying, And
they at one time even speak the same language. You
know what I'm saying. They separated. It's just a lot
of stuff like no, for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You go to the doctor though, right what you mean
just in general?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Oh? Yeah, for sure? I went.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I want to talk about another type of I went.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I went. I went probably six months ago okay for sure. Yeah,
all right, keep up with your health and everything effects.
Let's get into a joint of time. What you want
to have Proud of me?
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Oh yeah, for sure, Proud of Me featuring Meek Mill.
Rest in piece of fileist the video out right now
to twenty eight.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
And keep trusting yourself, man, like you got you got
good instincts. Man, thank you bro, you got good instincts.
I've read stories about how you know they wanted to
put you in a two hundred seat venue and you
held your ground and was like, I can do more
than that.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Yeah, shout out my team too, you know you feel me.
They didn't understand the vision at first, and it was
comparing me certain artists, so I understand where it was
coming from. But we were just saying that were bigger
than that. You know what I'm saying. We got hatians
that's gonna come out as africs, that's gonna come out
as R and B lovers, that's gonna come out in
his rat fans, that's gonna come out. So me and
my team, my manager Edgar, just pushed that, like, no,
(33:54):
we're bigger than that, sure, and we proved them wrong too.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
And the last thing you said. I once saw you say,
don't lose yourself in the music business. So I said,
I don't think it was a song, you just was
it was in an interview or something.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Okay, Okay, It's just like, uh, you just gotta stay grounded.
And I feel like.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I came in this game a little different. So I
can't speak for like the like the hungry artists. It's like,
I want to be everywhere, want to be at all
the parties, want to be at all the sessions. But
I feel like, when you're hungry, you'll eat anything you
feel me when you starving, you'll go for anything. It's like,
I'm hungry, I'll go to this party, I go to
(34:34):
this studio session not even know who's gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
If he did.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Not even know who's gonna be there, like you might
go there you don't even know what's going on. It's
not even laid out to you what you feel me
And I feel like that that's how a lot of
upcoming artists lose themselves.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
They're so hungry, it's like they'll go anywhere.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
You know what I'm saying, a lot of the stories
out here I can't relate to because I'm.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Just at the crib making music with my mom.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
To this day, you feel me and I stayed on
my this, So that's how you just gotta stay grounded
and just and just focus on the music.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
What's changed over the last eighteen months for you?
Speaker 6 (00:41):
Yeah, I'll go personally, just coming in the industry. Last time,
it was like my first fo them. Now it's like
I'm experiencing everything all that one, you know what I'm saying,
Like the highs and the lows, just everything that come
with the fiend. It's been like the tricky past year,
you know, especially losing my dad Dad last year, just
at the highest point of my life while I was
(01:03):
on tour selling off shows. I got to call offt
my dad. So just balancing that and working on the album.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
She was in Europe when you got that car.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Yeah, it messed me up bad, Like I get chills
just talking about it, because I wasn't there when he died.
I just could see him going, you feel me his
eyes open. I couldn't even talk to him. You know
what I'm saying, Like it's like bring a real trauma,
Like I cry every time, like I could think. Yeah,
it was just my mom put me on FaceTime. It
(01:32):
was like your dad going like I couldn't believe it.
I'm like, let me see now. I looked at his face,
his shoulds out, his body. I'm like, there's nothing I
could do, though, you feel me, I'm I'm twelve hours away.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So it hit me every time I think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And that's that's what the record I guess would meet
me proud of me because you're both lost your dad
and that's what you're.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Talking about in that song.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, for sure you reached out to meet for that
or I how did that song come come about?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah? I was at the actually in New York.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
My album was already turned then, so I pulled up
on meat at the concert, just chopped it up.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Meet showed me love.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
He was one of the few artists that brought me out,
brought me after my first show twenty thousand people, you
feel me. So we've been locked in since. And I
dropped a song like a month after my dad died,
and then Meet dm me like my dad died too,
So we connected even more on that. And my album
was done, Like I made that song probably like two
months ago.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
I just called him because I knew he was gonna
touch his heart, you know what I'm saying. And we
was on FaceTime for like three hours. You know what
I'm saying. I'm like, I'm pulling up on you in
New York, like I need this verse, Like I pulled
up on him. He told me, like, bro, I've been
the writer's block for the past month, but I'm gonna
knock this joone out for you feel me. So he
was in the booth for eleven hours, Like I watched
(02:44):
him stay in the booth eleven pm at eleven am,
just making sure he got this done for his dad.
You know what I'm saying, because like that hits different, Yeah,
different from sure.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Yeah, and the album is some days I'm good, some
days I'm not. Now I can't help but to to
notice on the cover.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah you don't look happy at all.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah for sure, it's.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
A dope cover, but yeah it definitely speaks.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It screams that you're not okay.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Facts and like that's how I wanted to cover. You
feel me.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Everybody around me smiling too, Like being at this position
you almost make everybody else have because they're all getting
something from you. So you might be outside everybody had
because like but they not even wondering, like how Friar
really doing because it's a lot on him, you know
what I'm saying, Like nobody asks you, like they don't
really care because you feel you feel me and you
(03:35):
putting them in positions like you change my life, but
they don't never even think like what burg going through?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
But you know on the Proud Proud of Me record,
you talk about how hurt you are, but then you
say you you heal your pain by buying.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Diamonds on diamonds, Yeah for sure. So a lot of
people are gonna be like, oh he good.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Nah, it's just something that like it's just something that
gave me happy. You know, I might be messed up
and just go to the feel me go to shine
real quick. I don't even got to buy Joory. Y'all
just chilling in the Joey store. Just look at it.
You feel me because it's one of my trophies to me,
you know what I'm saying. I'm one of them guys
like I ain't gonna wait for somebody give me a trophy,
So I'm gonna go buy my own trophy retail therapy.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But it's temporary though, Like how long does that last?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Yeah, it's temporary, but it's a trophy to me, you
know what I'm saying. So it's something like I worked
hard my whole life for you know what I'm saying.
It's equal to a Grammy. I look at this like
a Grammy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
For sure me put on my domontant. Let me seef.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
You should be happy about stopp Man. Go ahead, you
might be out here happy for no reason.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
All the way, I was gonna ask, you know, how
long did it take you to do this album? Because
listening to the album, because you feel the pain from
the first song, Yeah, from the first song, how long
did it take you to do this album? How difficult
was it to do this album? And there's so many
elements in this album that that screamed gospel.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yeah, it took me like eighteen months through this album.
Like the last album, I was very still, like I
ain't even gonna tour yet. I just locked in for
like a month straight and just boomed two months, fourteen songs.
But this album, I was on tour, two tours, losing
my dad, So it was like it all came together
like in eighteen months. That's why it's even twenty one
(05:25):
songs on this album. It was just a process of
me recording through the whole year making good music. I
couldn't even take nothing out, you know what I'm saying.
And it's also the reason why I said double disc
you feel me. I got a lot of fans that
love the R and B side of me, and the
other fans that love the life, you know what I'm saying,
the pain side of me. So I separated in that
way just to feed my fans, you know what I'm saying.
(05:45):
It's been a long time.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Besides, you grew up in church.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
My dad my dad's pastor you know what I'm saying,
that's why I learned everything. Like he forced music on me,
you know what I'm saying. It wasn't no musicians in
the church show. He told me and my brothers, y'all
got to learn something. You know what I'm saying, y'all
gonna play something. And it kind of like came natural,
Like I was playing instruments and singing in the choir.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Since I was like eleven, I wonder what the Meek
verse was It the writer's block or the difficulty of
making the verse, or the fact that y'all was, you know,
sitting up talking about grief that took eleven hours, Like
what do you think it was?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I think it's everything, you know what I'm saying. Like
when you make a song for somebody you lost, it's
like you gotta get it done. You gotta do the
best you can for that person. In that session too,
if you look at my Instagram, I was probably crying
tears the whole session, you know what I'm saying. Like
because while he was coren we couldn't hear. But like
when he finished his verse, even though he lost his
(06:42):
dad when he was a kid, a lot of the
stuff he was saying, like was touching my heart in
a different way, Like I got everything, but I just
really want to hold hands with my old man on
wedding day while I slow dance you feel me and
just I lost my dad then my brother got married.
My pot wasn't at that, So everything he was saying
was just hitting my heart. So that that session was
(07:02):
a therapy session.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Bro. We was crying real tears in there.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
What other healthy conversations have led to art?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Uh, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Like other conversations that you've had with people that lead
the music.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I get.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I get music like that. It's like a lot from
a like experience, especially combos. Even like I got a
song called some Days I'm Good some Days I'm Not
on the album Like that was a conversation I have
with my manager just finding an album titled and then
we found it and right after we found it, I
just went to my basement, produced it and just freestyle
that song.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So a lot of my music come from experience for sure.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Hell yeah, because empty Stomach is still my favorite.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Oh yeah, she had they That's why I love just
she been showing me love since the beginning for real, though.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I was gonna ask what else you've been dealing with
on on on this album in the last I guess
eighteen months cause besides your father past and I mean
listening to some of these songs, it seems like your
friends are snake you. Yeah, it seems like like you know,
your friends only out for one thing.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
A girl did you dirty?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Like there's so much pain, Bro, I wanted to get
after he listened job, I said, I gotta get this
brother a hug, like you've been dealing with what else you.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Want to hug? Because you want to.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Period, but like something comes down wait for me, like
this records never leave like this records where you're hurting.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
I say, like being the first person to make it out,
it's like a blessing and a curse. And it's like
when you make it out, all odds is on you.
And I'll say this, like it'll be like the closest
people around you like is look at you to everything.
You know what I'm saying, and they even blame you
(08:48):
for everything. You feel me Like you just wake up
and you get five calls like, Bro, what you think
about this musics like you feel me. I'm like, talk
to me. Niggas don't got no clue what they want
to do. I'm like, all right, but old Friday weirdo here.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You don't want invested in my business, then that's another Joe.
You feel me.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
And it's like I'll say this, like bringing people to
the water, it's a blessing and a curse because they
don't they take it for granted. I'll say that, and
then they'll blame it on you. You feel me in
a way like say you bring people backstage, right, I
put people in this room, they'll look at you to
do everything else.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
No, look at the room with a look at no food.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, they in the room with you and they be like, yo, tech,
Charlie main Ro. Just put you in the room. You
just met eighty artists, but you worried about girls. You
ain't leaving new numbers, and then you go to sleep
like Friday ain't putting me in a position. The only
thing you could ask for is the door to be open.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You feel me.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
So that's one of the things big things going through,
like making it out for sure.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'll tell you something that I would somebody would have
told me earlier focus on yourself can nah for sure,
because you can travel farther alone, and then when you
finally get in the position you want to be, then
you can help who is worthy of facts. You know
another thing too, man, you say that the pain won't
go away, or you say that on some days I'm good,
some days I'm not. It's like it's not you know,
it's not really supposed to. Yeah, you're supposed to just
(10:15):
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You're supposed to deal with it and understand it more
and find it good in it.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah, you said, I know, you know, you might want
to escape from it and you know, have a little
drink or buy some joy. But it's just it's a
natural thing, like you should be grieving you lost your pops.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Sure, yeah, I'm learning that. I'm learning that as the
days go by, Like I just understand it more. You
feel me, I understand it and take it as a
lesson how I'm supposed to be moving forward with my life.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So yeah, that's fact. It will never go.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Away though, I know, shopping for jewelry and you know,
just sitting in the jewelry store that that's your trophy,
that's your therapy. But you don't have a professional therapist
that you see.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
I'm thinking about it, but now yet, I just I
really just go to the studio. You feel me? I

want to like pull my life out to somebody I
don't really know. You feel me in I don't want

what else you got?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Ten minutes text knowledge right after I appreciate you saying
three minutes without knowledge.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
No, but I like it though, because you talk about
how you put a woman through a lot of ship.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, I ain't say that. What you're walking about? What
song you're talking about? To come home? Oh yeah for
sure in a way, in a way, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
But to have that level of self awareness.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Yeah, that's a that's a great record, right and wise.
You know it's special like this is this explaining like
is it too late for me to come home? Like
me being outside late and doing all my dirt and
just coming home. You know, when you come home, you
don't feel like you don't want to get nobody. Huh,
you got a wash up first, you.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Know what I'm saying. It's like going to them songs.
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
You said you steady trying to come up your filthy side. Yeah,
you come home with a lot of baggage. I've been
hard to manage.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
That's song crazy And it's not having about love. It's
about whoever you're coming home to, you know what I'm saying,
Even if it's your kid, when you come home to
see your mom, you gotta clean up. Like me, I'm
coming to see my mom. I gotta take a shore
if I'm doing something crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
You know, for sure, do you feel like you have
to I guess hide things, hide the way you're feeling
sometimes because you said that earlier, like you don't want
to express yourself to people. So if you do get
close to a woman, but you are having one of
them days when you grieving or something shit.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
And you be able to share that with it, Uh
yeah sometimes. But like I'll say, like sometimes women like
they take that for weakness when you when you like
really open up to them, like so that's how my
dad was to you. Almost gotta be like really strong,
you feel me native and just saying women just throw
it in your face, your weakness.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
But it's just like they don't want you, you know
what I'm saying. It's like they look down on you.
Most women.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
It's like they look down on you when you're weak
and from what I've seen, you know what I'm saying,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That hold you down.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
It's just like they just expect the men all the time,
you know what I'm I'm saying, They just expect that
protector to provider, like they don't even the emotions.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's not worried about that most of the time. For sure.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It was crazy. That's what men we need. Yeah, we
be needing that. We always want to be the protectors
and provided.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
For sure. You mess around to show you how you feel,
she tell you how how she feel right after Damn.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
When you get upset, you like, well this time, but
it's like, damn, I can't express myself without you throwing
it back at me, Like it's like, let me feel
how I feel. Like I was telling my brother that
I don't think men can feel how they feel in
front of woman.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You're trying the right one.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You can, Yeah, I know, throw it back in your face.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
That's not the right one because you can't be open
at anytime that you feel the way. You can never
express yourself fully.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Now one call away feature on Chris Brown. I love

you know, the industry is so fake. What makes that
connection so special?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
At first, it's just the music, like a fan of
each other, you know what I'm saying. Then when you
meet somebody in a real, genuine he could really have
a conversation, like past the music and talk for hours
in the studio and create something y'all love.

You know, I'm gonna say this that I'm gonna move on.
Don't give it away one and then don't give away. Yeah,
that ship is something that I listen to. I have
to listen to one of the more psychedelics.
Speaker 4 (19:51):

Speaker 4 (20:17):
So I'm trying to see if y'all can do a
collaborate album.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, a lot of fans even like a little ep.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
You know what I'm saying, is that something that y'all
talked about?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Nah? For sure. We got songs in the talk to
like people don't even hear.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
It's what crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We talked about it and the STU like it would
be crazy.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
But you know, we're doing our own thing too, so
we gotta we gotta push our goals first.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What do you before you befoer doing the afro beat
sounding records or the or the more the R and
B sounding records.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
They both vibe. Yeah, they I like it equally, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Because growing up Haitian, afro bating Jamaican music was like
second home in New York, you know, so it's like, yeah,
so I like it both.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Equally for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
How much the guy I did change your life?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Change everything?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I ain't gonna really talk about financially, did you get
I signed my first artist deal right after God?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Did you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
And I was still in the hood when it came out,
you know what I'm saying, Like came out I heard.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't even know my voice was on there. I
was just waiting.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Midnight came, I heard my voice. I seen the future.
I'm like everything about the change. You know what I'm saying.
I like, I'm i gotta get out this hood though,
you know what I'm saying, Like then I bought a crib.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You feel me? It changed everything?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Was that the third year because I saw you talking
about how your third year is when you really started
making money and this business was that.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, I'll tell any artists like at first, the first
year is really like sacrifices if you're doing it the
right way, like I feel like a lot of artists
they do it like I wouldn't say the wrong way.
But it's just like a money grad just like for
shows of course, like, nah, some money grad, I'm coming
with me and my DJ and just rocking it up
out just to get the whole. But me, I like
(22:02):
to present a certain show, like I gotta make sure
to sound right. I gotta make sure I got a
band like you feel me. So for me, the first
year was more sacrifice, yeah, breaking even like my tour,
like I ain't even you feel me. It was even
I might have to come out of pocket sometimes, you

Speaker 1 (24:42):
His Uh you can make a song, you can make it.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Will Smith's a Philly legend. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I actually made that hook like twenty one, twenty two
and you heard it this year by producer Ao and
then he just did the verses.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So it was love. Since he just hit me like, yo,
we got a record and he sent it to me.
Was love.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I know all the old head and Philly around you
really thought you made it then?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, especially the old gez like my mom and all that.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
My aunt say like you got you feel me? You
got a record with Will. I'm like, yeah, you feel me?
That was that was a big moment. Yeah how far
did you? I'm sure you moved out of Philly?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah? How fast did you move out of Philly? Real fast?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Because it was getting like it was getting a little bad,
you know what I'm saying. Crib just Pete walked down
the street like old Friday, you feel me. The first week,
it was like nobody even knew my face. It was
just saying my name so I can go to the club.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm here.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
It bore Friday snapped, I don't know it's me. But
it was like like three three weeks later, a month,
I'm like, I gotta get out of here. You know
what I'm saying, I don't even feel safe. You know
what I'm saying, I don't even feel safe. So that
was the first thing I did. I bought a crib
and I moved. I moved away.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
You move with your aunts and your uncle and.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No, no, I went to I moved with my mom.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And all that for sure was it's something that happened
or you just felt it.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
No, I just felt it Philly like crazy like that.
It's like a dangerous city. So it's like I already
know what to come with, you know what I'm saying. Especially,
it's like it's not a lot of it's not a
lot of resources out there. So when you when you're
the one getting a little bit of money, not even
like God did. I'm talking about even if you just
up and coming. It's a lot of upcoming rappers with
(26:19):
thirty thousand followers, heigs getting shot just because niggas hating
on your niggas hating all your success. So I had
God did with jay Z, so niggas look at I
knew I had to do it for sure.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
That don't make no sense to me, man, Like why
would you, you know, try to hurt somebody who potentially
could help your whole situation, whole community.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But they don't really look at it like that. Yeah,
they more look at it like wow, wow him and
not me. And they look at it like.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Shouldn't be here and it should be me. You know
what I'm saying. It's more of a threat, bro, Like
it's dangerous for Philly for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Who's your support system?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (26:57):
I keep my brothers close, especially my mom close to.
Like every time I get a chance, I go see
my mom for sure, shout the one, pray over me
and all that before I leave the cribs. That's my
support system for sure, my mom and my brothers.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Yeah. You know, there's this thing called the five stages
of grief, right, and it's a series of emotions people
experience after a loss. And it's now anger, bargaining, depression,
and accept it. Where do you think you at?
Speaker 6 (27:25):
I mean, I'm almost accepted, y'all say that. I mean,
I'm almost there. You feel me.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm understanding it more and more as time goes by, because.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
It's a lot of wires and house you know what
I'm saying, Like the way the way my father died,
the way somebody died, it could be like DN, like
why I had to go like this? You know what
I'm saying. So it's more like why. And I'm kind
of accepting it right now for sure.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, how would you like his legacy to be remembered?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Just about what I'm doing now, like putting my rail
in my music, inspiring people, giving people good words of
encouragement and all that.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
That's why I keep it in the music how I
can because I know I'm doing right. You know what
I'm saying. I could do a whole R and B
album if I want to, and some people want that,
but I know it's people that need the real you
feel me, the real music that get them through life.
Like my DMS is crazy, Like a lot of people
into jails listening to me. A lot of people like
about to commit suicide. A lot of a lot of
(28:29):
people like I saved them through their day, you know
what I'm saying, and I just me reading them DMS.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I don't take that for granted.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
So I feel like I'm doing his legacy right now
because he taught me everything.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Did you get to hear him say that he was
proud of.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah for sure. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I bought him that crib and I just told him
it's because of you. You know, it's because of you.
You don't gotta pay a bill, like you know, he
gave me music, He forced it on me. You know
what I'm saying. He gave me God, he showed me everything.
So it was like, yeah, for sure, even.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
When I went to York.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Before I went to York, I'm like, bro, I'm about
to go to York. You know what I'm saying. Forget
the US. I'm about to go to York and do
a europe tours because of you. I looked him in
his eyes, look because of you. Feel me the way
he died, like you see, like the levard ball thing
he had to imputate his leg, that was kind of
like my dad's situation. But I got Haitian parents, so
(29:27):
it's like they got a lot of pride. Like my
mom and dad be like, we ain't cutting off his leg,
but the doctors would be like, I think it's smart
for you to cut off the foot right now, like
so won't go up. So it's probably be like six years,
like three four years. My mom like, no, we ain't
doing that. Too much pride, like, let's do something else.
(29:48):
So my dad joint is spread, spread it up, you
know what I'm saying. So last time I went to
the doctor, like we gotta go about the knee, you
know what I'm saying. And that was the last time
I was with my pot like it was about to
cut his first like leg off on top of his knee.
He just looked at me, balling up like they really
(30:08):
about to take my leg off.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'm like, we cried like an hour before he went
in there you feel me.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
And I went to tour like I went to tour
that wait, and I performed the first show and they
said they about to cut.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
The other leg off. They have to right then, like
everything just stopped. I'm like, yeah, I don't know how
we're gonna do this.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
She feel me like it really hit my heart. So
once they cut the other leg, that's when we lost them.
You feel me, So that's why it's more of a
while like you feel me. It's more of a while
right now, Like I don't really understand how he went,
but I know God, like knew, like my mom may
want to see my dad like that, I feel she
more at peace right now. I feel like she more
at peace, even though it's a hard thing. She more
(30:54):
at peace knowing he in a better place than seeing them.
How we would have slid absolutely, Wow, I love you,
no for sure? Truth that album is out right now.
Some days I'm good, some days I'm not.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Have you performed in Hadiot, No, no, no, it's a
little tricky in Haiti.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Right now, I want to go so bad, But like
you feel me, a lot of people be like, nah,
not right now, you feel me? But I gotta I
gotta compo song on his album Future Enjoy Your Direct Philly,
you feel Me. It's called composa Haitian gyra and I
feel like since why Cleft is about to be one
of the biggest songs to just show Haiti in front
of the world, in a big way, in front of
(31:33):
the mainstream. So all my Haitian is excited about that
for sure.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
What's the misconceptions about Haiti you you would like to
clear up as artist?
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Yeah, the first thing when people in America think of
Haiti is just I'll say, they just think of like
a bit like a bad country, you know what I'm saying,
like or they think about they think about all the bad,
but it's a lot of good in it, you feel me.
They never like really go there and see the good
and it's a lot of product that come out of it.
(32:04):
It's just like we just it's just L after L
what they put on the news. That's how they show Haiti.
They don't never show the good side. They don't never
show a good.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Part of it.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
I feel like in America they they only show Haiti
when it's some bad stuff. Happening, not always, not never
when it's some good stuff, you know what I'm saying.
So I feel like it's gonna change it a little bit.
Like Haiti's a great place. It's a lot of talent,
It's a lot of great people out there.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
When I think about Haiti, I think about some strong people.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Yeah, we're bothed against white supremacy, yah, for sure, and
white SUPREMACIYT has been making that country pay for it
ever since.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Yeah, something I look at it something like that too,
you know what I'm saying, First, independix strongest people.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
I gotta do more research, but I just feel like
you feel me. Something happened, like they just made it
that way, you know what I'm saying. Even separating Haiti
from dr and all that, at first it was one.
It was one people, you know what I'm saying, And
they at one time even speak the same language. You
know what I'm saying. They separated. It's just a lot
of stuff like no, for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You go to the doctor though, right what you mean
just in general?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Oh? Yeah, for sure? I went.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I want to talk about another type of I went.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I went. I went probably six months ago okay for sure. Yeah,
all right, keep up with your health and everything effects.
Let's get into a joint of time. What you want
to have Proud of me?
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Oh yeah, for sure, Proud of Me featuring Meek Mill.
Rest in piece of fileist the video out right now
to twenty eight.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
And keep trusting yourself, man, like you got you got
good instincts. Man, thank you bro, you got good instincts.
I've read stories about how you know they wanted to
put you in a two hundred seat venue and you
held your ground and was like, I can do more
than that.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Yeah, shout out my team too, you know you feel me.
They didn't understand the vision at first, and it was
comparing me certain artists, so I understand where it was
coming from. But we were just saying that were bigger
than that. You know what I'm saying. We got hatians
that's gonna come out as africs, that's gonna come out
as R and B lovers, that's gonna come out in
his rat fans, that's gonna come out. So me and
my team, my manager Edgar, just pushed that, like, no,
(33:54):
we're bigger than that, sure, and we proved them wrong too.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
And the last thing you said. I once saw you say,
don't lose yourself in the music business. So I said,
I don't think it was a song, you just was
it was in an interview or something.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Okay, Okay, It's just like, uh, you just gotta stay grounded.
And I feel like.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I came in this game a little different. So I
can't speak for like the like the hungry artists. It's like,
I want to be everywhere, want to be at all
the parties, want to be at all the sessions. But
I feel like, when you're hungry, you'll eat anything you
feel me when you starving, you'll go for anything. It's like,
I'm hungry, I'll go to this party, I go to
(34:34):
this studio session not even know who's gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
If he did.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Not even know who's gonna be there, like you might
go there you don't even know what's going on. It's
not even laid out to you what you feel me
And I feel like that that's how a lot of
upcoming artists lose themselves.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
They're so hungry, it's like they'll go anywhere.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
You know what I'm saying, a lot of the stories
out here I can't relate to because I'm.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Just at the crib making music with my mom.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
To this day, you feel me and I stayed on
my this, So that's how you just gotta stay grounded
and just and just focus on the music.
