What up?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What up? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Thanks to have me, man, long time, hold on, brother,
A long time no see man.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
I know man, it's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
First off, you killed that show in New York when
you came out here.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Noscagia right, No, I can't even say the name.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Nostalgia was Agia?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Oh nostalgia? Okay, that's right.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
One Eye Jackson.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it was. It's called it
was called One Eyed Jackson's. Yeah, bar but you know,
I mean it was cool.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Yeah, we did.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
That was stop number one on the tour, and then
we did Tampa and then Atlanta and then we I
just had the last scheduled show in Jacksonville on the
twenty fifth. I've been debating on potentially maybe doing one
or two surprise shows, like there's one venue that I
(09:49):
haven't played in Jacksonville that I was eyeballing, and potentially
maybe Miami. But for right now, the scheduled shows, my
contractual shows are all and I.
Speaker 9 (10:02):
Did all those. So now I'm just focusing on the
new music.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh okay, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
How does it feel right come from Long Island now
and just going to all these places and having fans
love everything that you do.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
It's you know, it's it's definitely surreal at times, like
I've been stopped, like, you know, when I first got
to Jacksonville, because I had actually relocated when I first started.
When I got a spot down South, people would like
they would stop me in malls and say, oh, man,
(10:37):
that's the guy from the show. And so I've never
had that happen to me. And so now, you know,
and also like my music is on all digital platforms.
So I was thinking a few days ago, man, I
feel like I've been really slacking on my Spotify promotion
and then I go on there and I haven't touched it.
Speaker 9 (10:59):
I haven't promote it.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I have like over one hundred and twenty five monthly listeners.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
So it's like to.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Be able to build that name, you know, without any
major label endorsements. I mean, it really does feel good, man,
you know really, you know, I know that you you know,
I know that you've been down the same road. You know,
you made you know, you made quite a name for you,
you know, and so it's you know, it definitely feels
a little surreal at times.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You know, I can imagine, you know what, people just
don't see our struggle. No, you know what I'm saying,
They don't see you, like every day, like I was
telling her, you don't see the promotion we put in.
You don't see the way that I'm just saying as
an artist, and I'm saying as just a radio host.
Why I tell everybody too, man, Well, because you guys
see the highlights. You don't see the work that comes
(11:46):
before the highlights. You don't see when like you, you
got to go into the studio, you got to put
in new records, you got to call up people. The
business is crazy, and that's how you really keep your
buzz through the business, through the way that you push yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah right, yeah, okay, ahead, No, no, because out to say,
people think it's like such a like a dream world
and they think, oh, it's like, you know, so beautiful
and everything, but they really do not understand all the
work that goes daily in your life, you know, everything
that you have to push and push and push. I mean,
it's not just you sit back and do a song
(12:23):
and you know everything comes out right.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
And you know, it's crazy that you say that, because
I've had conversations with people that talk to me as
if you know, like, oh man, it's fine, just make
you know, just make another song and then you know,
you know it'll be fine.
Speaker 9 (12:37):
Like no, it doesn't.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
It doesn't work like like that, you know, like especially
when you have no major label endorsement, Like and we're
doing this all by ourselves. We're managing our own social medias,
we're paying for our own tours, you know, so we're
paying for the studio time.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Yeah, so you know, people don't see all of that
struggle and like.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Yeah, we're we might not be Jay Z or fifty cent,
but we still have to live up to a certain persona,
you know, and so you can get lost in it,
you can drown in it, and so people don't see
it that way, and you know, it's you know, that's
why I like to explain in my music the real
side of it.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know, now, you're right, because I actually I see
it all the time. What bothers me the most about
the music industry right now is that everything that's out
there right now, for me is a mirage. These people,
a lot of people out there do not have talent,
but they got the money to make it look like
they do, right, And the people who actually have the
(13:36):
talent don't have as much money as those people. And
it's like, you know, it really irritates the hell out
of me when people do not see that. And I'm like,
you know, there's a pop singer who's really great. There's
a rock singer that's really great. There's an artist in
Florida that's really good, you know, and they just don't
know because they're too busy with all these mirage.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That called the machine behind.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Yeah, there's a machine when you got a certain machine
behind all the machine.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, but all the machine is just having.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
A marketing marketing firm.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
So I've been around labels for a long time now,
and I figure in this. I tell every artist man,
I said, Marum.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
Yeah, you got you need a good pr that's good.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
No, you get affirm and you grow with the firm.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, because yeah, that's the only thing.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
And yeah, Dan Danny, I remember you telling me in
high school.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
You tried to tell me like that, you know, because
you know, young I always thought that, you know, I
always thought the like the main goal was to get
to the major label. And so I remember you tried
to warm me, and so I'm like, man, it just
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
Isn't the main goal to get to it?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
And so now actually, like you know, after signing countless
contracts and being in different types of deals and like
learning the ins and outs, I definitely get what you
were saying back then.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
I signed at fifteen to my first publicer, to my
first deal, and I told him when he because they,
oh this is great.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You were there?
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Did you see everybody when I first signed to the
to the that deal in Universal?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How many people changed?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Everybody?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
He was there when that happened, you know, when Keys
picked me up and Keys took me and everybody showed
the deal.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
My teachers, were you.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
In the class when that weird teacher came up to
me and he started playing the saxophone.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
No way, yeah, no way.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I love going down memory lane.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Go ahead, No. I had my chain on, I had
a fur right and acting him.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
He was like, yeah, oh Jesus, okay, God, you remember that.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
This is the way I had the white from over
here and I had older girls next to me and
all that, and then mister computer shout out to jokes
he's compewter.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Would just be sitting there, be the bodyguard, but back
to his thing.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I sat there and I told him, I said, bro,
I said, because my thing is when I got into
the when I got signed, I was like, yeah, this
is great. So the first thing that they did to
me was, bro, you only it's only being seen right man.
Now you gotta do little work, more work. And I said,
what do you mean. I thought you guys do that.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
He said no. So I grabbed him aside and said, bro,
it's not like this.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's not what you're thinking.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Well, they were weird because they made me change my
whole persona like I used to know what they do
with me?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Who which the label?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I'm not with? But ahead I was.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
When I I signed a contract with I sign a
contract with Tony Rose, and so Tony Rose, did you
know he did a lot, you know, he had done
a lot to help me out, you know, but he like,
they were also trying to change me in a way
I wasn't comfortable with, you know, and you know, they
were just trying to give me a they were trying
(17:14):
to paint me as something that I wasn't and I
just I just felt, I just felt such a such
like a sellout vibe, you know, and I just couldn't
do it, you know, and it really it really spiraled
into a lot of mental stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
And yeah, was that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That twenty twelve?
Speaker 8 (17:32):
No, that was man, that was two thousand, between two
thousand and nine and twenty ten, because that happened right
before I got with Pap and that was in twenty eleven,
twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Okay, so you working a homeboy and what were they trying?
Because the thing is me and him, right, we're very close,
me and him back in the days of MySpace.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
My space, you know when you talk about my space.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Okay, first off, first off, I met a lot of
people that you see that it's celebrities now.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's true, Like Drake hit us up, Drake used to
hit us up.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
I don't know you ever had nothing with Drake and
Drake's people would always like write you and stuff like that,
like right on the on the thing, and then you
would hit them up like J Miles, well J Miles
was popping.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You would always see J Miles come down. Remember we
first started in MySpace.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
No, so okay, so that never happened with Drake. I
remember something similar.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
Happened with Kalid, but with me and DJ Khalid before
he got big.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yeah, okay, so you're talking about like he basically put
his whole marker on your thing. Remember, because years ago
you used to hit a Lincoln. It used to be
a box and you would just hear their music and
then you would just see all the plays and stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And there was one record that I blew up with.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
And he never let me down of it because I
always forget about that.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's Weird.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
It's Weird. I love it. You still have that, yo, bro,
I've been wanting to bump that.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So you know what's the record I got signed with?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Oh? What record is that?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
It's weird? I got signed weird.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's called It's Weird.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You're a man and yelling at my dad. Why do
I act dad and yell at my dad? Come around,
spit a versus my.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Mom, and.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Day, oh good it is today.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
You know what's funny though? And I'm gonna say with
you because you're gonna die laughing at this. He comes
into school, he starts wrapping it. I go down the
damn that. I go down by the classroom. They start
wrapping it. Everybody's rapping. As I look on it's weird.
It's fifty thousand plays.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
In one day. I'm like, what is going on here?
That's weird?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
What a half a million word of my mother? Half
a million in one day? Half a million and one
half a million and one half a million. That's the
record I got signed with.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh my god, it's weird. It's called It's weird.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It was. It was the worst record. I felt like
I did.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He love it.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Everybody out here loved it. I did it because I
was mad at my father.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Oh geez.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So I went into the studio and I finished it,
and all of a sudden, it's weird. It's weird. It's weird.
And then I read it, and then why rap started
writing about it? This one started writing about it. The
Vibe people started writing about it. I'm like, what is
going on? And that's how I got the first deal?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That is so weird.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
But you're saying twenty twelve, but intended you said in
twenty twelve, I mean twenty ten, Right, what did you
meet this guy who Tony Rose?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Okay, So the story with me and Rose, my dad
was working at was working at a hotel taking people
to and from the airport, and Tony Rose was one
of the people, and so they got to talk.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
And because my dad likes to talk to people.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
And so and so in their conversation, he discovered that
Tony Rose was who he was.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
He actually helped discover along with Marie Starr.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
He helped discover acts like New Kids on the Block
and things like that. So I had sent my demo
to him and I was like, I'd say fourteen fifteen,
and he said that, and he said that I need
a little bit more work. So then fast forward, I
sent him a demo at nineteen.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
He said, is go time? And so that yeah, no,
keep going.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
No, I'm intrigued right now because I didn't know none
of this, but me and him was sit there at
work all the time on his thing but he's always
a quiet when he never says nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And then one day he goes, you look at this,
I look at it. Now he don't say nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But that's good.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
He's a quiet assassin.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That's good.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
I move in silence. I move in silence.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
So okay, So I know that's the reason why I
said that. Now, what did if you mind me asking
what did?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What did? Tony? So you all right?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
So that fast forward? Tony says, go time, what was
your first thing when you met him?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What was for? Like where did you go? And like
what was like the first time you ever sat down
when him?
Speaker 6 (22:03):
It had like the meeting with him when I was like,
all right, let's get it.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Well, so okay, so a lot of ours because he
was stationed I believe in Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Excuse me.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
So the majority of our communication was phone and email.
The first time I met him, he came down when
I shot my music video under when I was like
when I was in contract with him. Right after I signed,
we set up a music video and then he came
down for that. And then the next day after the shoot,
(22:38):
we had a meeting in South Florida with Maurice Starr
to talk about some business.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So you were what you flew to Florida was on
the phone.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
No, No, he flew to Florida because the video shoot
was in Florida. And then the very next day me
and him drove further south because we had a meeting
with Maurice Starts to talk about some business.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
So that was uh. And so then.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
You know, of course he went back to Phoenix, and
you know, we did some work to promote the project,
and then we had an album release party in uh
and I think it was in Manhattan somewhere in either
in Soho or somewhere in the village.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
And you had an release party or was it one
of theirs?
Speaker 9 (23:32):
No, I had an album release party in the city.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And I don't know.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
No this well, no, I think I.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Think are you talking to you after the show?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No, no, no, I love it.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
No, Yeah, I don't. I don't know how. I don't
know how.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
You don't you didn't know because I think because I
think we were still in touch.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Then we were always in touch until the whole thing.
But we'll get into that, but but we were always
you know what it is, man, I think I was
so I think I was so busy.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Yeah you, I think you.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
I don't know what you were into at the time,
but like you weren't as busy as you are now
doing all like the radio stuff.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
But so it's it's funny.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
I actually met Pat Poos while in New York right
before my album party, and so I linked up with him.
We did want one song, and then it kind of
parlayed into something bigger.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
And so after my album with Tony dropped, I just.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You know, I just felt lost in myself, you know,
to the point where like I didn't like who they
were portraying me to be and it was kind of
messing with me mentally. So I broke ties with Tony,
you know, and then linked up with Pat Poos and
then got under uh, got under Thucacation and then went
(24:47):
on to did the mixtape Haters.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The Five Things to Depth, right, he put you onto,
put You on and on.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Yeah, so I didn't know that he because that track
was for my mixtape. I didn't know that he put
it on his. But I wasn't hating because it was
just more exposure, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
That's when the King of New York whole thing, and
he was running around saying that in the years with
Red Cafe and they were going at each other and
this one was.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Going at that one.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Yeah, it was a really weird time.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
No, it was ill because everybody got exposure back then.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, well that's all it is true. I mean, you
want to get as much exposed.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
So he put you down at thug Occasion. So will
you sign it the occasion?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I never so Thug Occation is not is not a label.
The label is honor before money and Thug Ocation, I
guess is just his like his click. But so he
uh so he put me on with with them. I
was supposed to be on the on the like that
Thug Occation mix uh remix, but that never happened because
(25:55):
it's it's a long story, the whole.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Thing with no, no, no, no, no, I know.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
But my thing was funny is I watched him. So
I'm watching him and he on I see him walking
in with his white backwards hat like this, and it's
like my boot day and he in the video and
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
What he in the video like.
Speaker 9 (26:15):
That? In Brooklyn.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Pap told me one thing that was so I told
the Pap, this is when start working with you, you
probably don't even know.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yo e what's up? Yo? Your man? It's quick on
that mic I sent him a verse. He sent me that.
In two minutes. I'm sitting here and I'm going whoa.
Pap told me that that's true. Sorry, Pap told me that.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Yeah, well I never knew that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, now you do now because Pap was talking about it. Yo, man,
what up?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What up?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But like me and Pap still keep it so all right,
but you know, he said good things about you.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Well, I'm I mean, that's just so weird considering all
that was going on, you know, I mean it was
it was some foul things, man, But at.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The end of the day, he grew for you learned
the industry.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Yeah, okay away from that in the game, but again
you did ill stuff because you had Roys to five nine,
you had Joe Butdens on your record. Well yeah, I
on your record.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
And then then they grew into the fact into me
getting these connections and be able like you know, because
Pap was pretty much acting as a mental man.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
That's how he was able to take advantage of me.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
So you know so much because me not knowing nothing,
you know, but now I'm able to I'm able to
like contact people, labels, artists, I'm able to hit them
up myself, and a lot of them know of me
because of the name that I have previously made.
Speaker 9 (27:40):
You know what I mean. So I mean it's.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Previous because he was in records with If I'm correct,
I'm gonna break it down real quick.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
He's gonna break it eye Joe Buddens.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Tell me if I'm missing any Pat Woos and Royce
to five nine.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Also, I did, uh did work with Prodigy for my
deep before he passed.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
Remy Ma Jesus, I worked with Method Man.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
I just I actually so the Method Man joint was
for my album, but there was some shady stuff going
on there and so long story short, the track was
sent to me with the Method Man verse over an
industry beat. So I sat on it for years because
I didn't know how I was going to be able
(28:28):
to make money from this. And so finally I just
like this year, I came to grips. I'm like, man,
I love the game and I love hip hop so
much that and I respect the culture. I'm going to
give back. I'm I'm I'm going to give this out
completely for it for free. I can't make I can't
make anything off of it. So I put it out
on SoundCloud exclusively for free. People can download it. It's
(28:51):
called B Season. It's on SoundCloud featuring Method Man. It's dope,
you know, I mean it's I mean, I the fact
that I did that without any major label endorsement. I mean,
that's wu tang, you know what I mean. That's a
big deal for hip hop.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
My question to you is you did recordar with Prodigy?
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah? Oh you don't know, man, I'll sevent to you
after the show.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Really I didn't know he did records with Product. Me
and him did a mixtape too, and it.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Was with ron G.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Yes, ron G, Man, we did a mixtape, me and
me and my because me this is this is my
right right here. So me and him did a mixtape
with ron G. People don't know that the legendary ron.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
G and Yeah, Nika what up?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Like what you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
So like a lot of people like look at they
go okay, okay, but you're looking at them, like, bro
already everybody that you see on the TV, you want
to do a record with.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I did a record with Yeah, Yeah, you know what
I'm saying, so like, you don't say nothing like he was.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
I'm looking at them like, yo, bro, you know what
the illest thing that was when Royster five nine said
that whole thing about Justin Bieber. I literally walked out
of the the when I was listening to it because
he gave me the exclusive listen to this. Man bumped
this crazy. This is going nuts, and I said, get out.
You all said I heard like when took the mic
away from Justin Biebe.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I said, nope, nope, nope, I did not hear Royce
the five nine just say that.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
The cipher.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Yo, you guys are crazy. No, this is this is
the one thing I want to say too. Is Eminem
recorded He was recorded that on tour with Eminem right,
I'm guessing on the Bad Means Evil tour.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Yeah, Royce was on tour with him while he while
he did that verse.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Man, all right, People don't realize I don't got a
lot of legendary people, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
You go, and I gotta hear more because I'm not.
I'm a fan. Right now, who else did you do
a record with that? I don't know.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
That you don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Oh my god, here we got how many records?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You do? A pat?
Speaker 9 (30:54):
Okay, so I have an unreleased version of Falling Tears.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Remember that song you and me did, and me and
your dad, No, me and your dad did volunteers, and
then you got on the remix.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
I had to get on the remix because then we
did the pimp record and then yes, oh yeah pimping.
Yeah nah man because it think about him though, man,
he had this. He's a young remember.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
This kid is like sixteen years old.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
He's got the little equipment, like, yeah, the studio, and
we used to do it on something called mixed crafts
mix yeah a yeah, think I don't remember that.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
I can't believe you said mixed craft.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Man, I got pro tools, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Like in two thousand and nine, he said, Yo, look
at this right here, mixcraft boom.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I said, what is mixed craft He went off of mixedcrab.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
I'm like, oh my, because years ago you had to
have a professional studio to really record, right. The only
thing that you could do when we used to do
with the cheats is that we used to get PCs
or we used to like big PCs and put them
in here and then buy a little a little dongo
thing like this and with a microphone strap and that
used to be for the pro tools.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
And then what you could do is you can.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Go on mixedcraft dot com and download mixedcrap, put put
your microphone thing over here with the big mic down here.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
And then record. It wasn't like you could do it
on the phone that didn't exist.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You know, you want to keep going.

Speaker 9 (38:35):
Are out of the my star.
Speaker 12 (38:37):
Studying discographies, cartography went for red lining our property, hard
poverty to headline and harmonically a smart product. You man,
we're all spirits having a human experience unified by rhymes
over these musical instruments, choosing a perrid the lines to
paint pictures in your mind like beautiful pyramids.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Kudos the lyrics, dropping.
Speaker 12 (38:56):
Gyms because the youth needs guidance.
Speaker 9 (38:58):
The teachers and the words and of learning.
Speaker 12 (39:00):
In the silence, I just wanted to chill on the eyelids,
far away from sirens and violins and open.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
My third high.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Just the water, not for us, for our songs, and
it's our world.
Speaker 11 (39:13):

all just beyond the water for us, for all songs and.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
World.
Speaker 9 (39:24):
I know we all saying yeah face no man.
Speaker 8 (39:39):
Wa yeah Crooked Eye from Slaughterhouse on the third and
then the gospel singing that you guys here, that's my homide,
William Levant.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
Well, okay, first off, I thought that was you.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
Singing no, no, no, That that is me singing on
on the hook. William Levant did the background vocals and
and he and he started the hook on the on
the very last hook, right after right after the crooked Diverse.
He started off that hook and then we take over
and we sing it together. But I'm I sing I
(40:13):
sing the hook.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Let me just say one thing, Okay, give me the
close up, okay, will you? I think that Pure of
the Water song is a hit. I think that song,
if played and properly placed, can go sky high because
not only does it have the all the singers that
you have on it, they mesh so well. You know,
(40:39):
I'm trying to say. It's not like one takes the
other out, it's they all together, unified in such harmony.
That is a sure fire hit right there. I love that.
Speaker 9 (40:51):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Put it up mere real quick.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Okay, put it on him now, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
One word.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Iconic, iconic, thank you, bro.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Another word legendary, legendary.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
That's a good word.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
The third word classic, yo.
Speaker 9 (41:13):
And so did you get that classic feel that vibe
from it?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Like he messed up my stomach. That's the stomach harmonically.
And then.
Speaker 8 (41:27):
I was like and ye know yeah, and and and
I thought that that it was really cool of Crooked
Eye because like, you know, he I mean you you
could tell that he does his homework. He doesn't just
bang out features like I didn't tell him about the
name of the project that because the name of the
(41:49):
project that the song is on is called three Gems.
It consists of three of three songs of three records
that came to me like by the grace of God,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
And so I heard these, I'm like, these are three monsters.
And so.
Speaker 8 (42:08):
Long story short, you know, like when I got the
verse back, and so I heard his verse and he
said something about kudos to lyricists dropping gems because the
youth needs guidance.
Speaker 9 (42:19):
Like I was like, oh, man, Like he like, he
really does his homework.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
And so he looks up, he looks up about the
artist and looks what they got going on it and
then and then he does his work.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
You know, he's always been ridiculous. Shout out to him.
What about the other singer? How'd you get the other singer?
Speaker 8 (42:35):
William Levant he is. I got linked with him my
actual my studio engineer shut out Paul Lipinski.
Speaker 9 (42:45):
He actually linked me up.
Speaker 8 (42:46):
I told him what I was looking for, you know,
kind of like a gospel vibe, and so he said
that he knows this one dude.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
His name is William Levant.
Speaker 8 (42:56):
And so I had a big studio session in booked
because when I booked session, it's like ten or twelve hours,
and so I booked it and had him come at
the top of the hour, you know, at the top
of the session, and so he you know, I explained
the record to him. He heard it, he loved it,
and we got you know, we got to chop it
(43:18):
up a little bit, and he actually came to my
Jacksonville show and we actually performed together.
Speaker 9 (43:23):
There's some pictures on my social media.
Speaker 8 (43:26):

Speaker 5 (46:31):
No way, No, you don't have it stop.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
That was good, Okay now let me just say something
because a lot of times when me and Danny have
someone on the show and the songs are playing, I
put my little notes and I throw it to him
and he'll give me little notes and everything, because we're
always try to compare. We're always trying to like give
the what kind of vibe? Okay, now when I I
know you have a different vibe. But when I was
(47:09):
listening to it, it brought me back to the days, okay,
of Will Smith. I'm not saying he's Will Smith. All
I'm saying is he reminds me of the Will Smith
songs like Welcome to Miami. And it has that joyful beat.
It has that beat that is so missing these days. Okay,
(47:30):
and his song and his and his vibe and his
words and his verbiage are all perfect. Now, go ahead,
what do you guys say?
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Eminem Hodini?
Speaker 9 (47:41):
Okay, I can see that. I can see so with
Danny Is and you, it's it's Will Will Smith before
the Chris Rocks lap.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Okay, yes, before that. Okay, Yeah, we're talking decades, all right, right,
I was playing. Yeah that was good though, that was good.
Speaker 6 (48:06):
I like it because that's what that's what But I
always not times sound weird, but I always seeing your style.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
A little bit kind of like Eminem because he like influenced.
Speaker 8 (48:13):
You, right, yeah, you know he that was definitely one
of the main one of the main influences him and
him and Joe Budden Man, and it's it was crazy,
like getting the opportunity to work with like people like Button,
like people that like before I was driving to school,
when my mom would be driving me to school, people
that I would be bumping in the car on the way.
Speaker 9 (48:34):
Now she listens to me on songs with them. It's like,
you know, it's like crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
That must be that, you know, that's he's got a
good vibe.
Speaker 6 (48:42):
You got a dope project, Will Smith without the flap,
He's got a really good project.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Why don't you let everybody really know about the project?
Ye ahead before we go, man, so everybody know.
Speaker 8 (48:54):
Well, first of all, I want to shout out to
my people. Shout out my parents and my sister. I
know that they're watching right now, and my wife and
all all of my people. Want to give a shout
out real quick.

my daughter she is, she's seventeen.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (49:21):
Yeah, she just started driving.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
Oh Jesus poor but feeling for Unico.
Speaker 8 (49:28):
But uh so yeah, the projects I got, I got
one upcoming produced by Joe Milly. It was it was
going to be an EP.
Speaker 9 (49:39):
It was actually supposed to be out the.
Speaker 8 (49:43):
It's supposed to be out by now, but Joe Milly
he called me the night before it dropped and like
extremely like it was extremely last minute. But I'm really
glad that I did it because he's like, man, you know,
you know, we got to do a whole rollout plan
and there's you know, there's some things that you know
that I want to do and I want to add
so so with the additions, it's been upgraded to an album.
Speaker 9 (50:07):
So I'm not sure when that's gonna drop, but we
got that's uh, that's on deck. Next.
Speaker 8 (50:13):
I got a big featured track on there. It's called Dubai.
He actually just sent me the beat a couple of
days ago. It's it's, it's it is. It is another monster.
So I'm extremely excited about that. I got a track
with recognized on there from uh Strange Music. And then
(50:35):
I got a d J Payne ep that's dropping in
the Winter that I'm trying to get Danny on.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
That's right, we've we've been talking.
Speaker 8 (50:44):
Yeah, and Danny, you're gonna, I don't know, You're probably
gonna flip with with this. I I got a big single.
Speaker 9 (50:52):
Drop in New Years on New Year's Yes featuring Jerry Robinson.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Like what's single called Mommy, It's going to be called
slow Slow. Shout out to Jerry and shout out to
you both long autants Yo.
Speaker 8 (51:11):
I actually just I just got the vocal stems about
like a couple hours ago, ridiculous before Yeah, the verse
is fire. It's a great addition to the song. Before
I got on here, I was actually.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Doing some.
Speaker 8 (51:26):
Uh some of the mixing for it. So it's definitely
it's definitely going to be fire man. I'm definitely that's
extremely excited about it. We actually, you know, this is
the first time that we're actually getting to work together.
We tried back in like two thousand and ten and
he was just too busy. It's just it never happened.
Speaker 9 (51:47):
But now you know, now we're now we finally got
to make it happen.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Shout out to Strange Music.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Absolutely, it's you know, what's really cool is that like
a lot of times when we have people on the
certain people on the show, it's like, you know, with
Nico and Jerry Robinson and stuff, it's so weird because
a lot of people don't know that you guys grew
up together. You know, you both all went to high
school together. You're in school, right, you know, and it's like,
(52:16):
you know, it's pretty cool because then you come back around,
you know, like decades later, right, and you kind of
see where everyone is placed and where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 9 (52:27):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
Always find your way back, you know.
Speaker 8 (52:32):
Jerry, because you know, I was conversing with Jerry's management
and so they're like, you know, they hit me back.
It's like, yeah, Jerry actually knows exactly who you know,
exactly you know exactly who you know, He knows who
you are and you know, and he said, you know,
to make sure that you take you know, you take
really good care women and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
You know, that's great, and that's what it is is too.
You know why because like Jerry and even with Danny
as well. It's like you can have some many people
around you like claiming and being like your best friend
and everything, but they really are real g that you
know are true. Okay, So, and that's the way it's
(53:12):
always going to be, you know. It's just that people
can say and people can come and go and everything,
but you guys are always tight knit regardless. So I
love about love. That's what I love. So if anything,
just close the show with the fabulous artist Nico. It's
an I q u e oh okay, Oh, I'm sorry
(53:33):

artist known as Nico. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
What up?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What up? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Thanks to have me, man, long time, hold on, brother,
A long time no see man.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
I know man, it's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
First off, you killed that show in New York when
you came out here.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Noscagia right, No, I can't even say the name.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Nostalgia was Agia?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Oh nostalgia? Okay, that's right.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
One Eye Jackson.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it was. It's called it
was called One Eyed Jackson's. Yeah, bar but you know,
I mean it was cool.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
Yeah, we did.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
That was stop number one on the tour, and then
we did Tampa and then Atlanta and then we I
just had the last scheduled show in Jacksonville on the
twenty fifth. I've been debating on potentially maybe doing one
or two surprise shows, like there's one venue that I
(09:49):
haven't played in Jacksonville that I was eyeballing, and potentially
maybe Miami. But for right now, the scheduled shows, my
contractual shows are all and I.
Speaker 9 (10:02):
Did all those. So now I'm just focusing on the
new music.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh okay, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
How does it feel right come from Long Island now
and just going to all these places and having fans
love everything that you do.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
It's you know, it's it's definitely surreal at times, like
I've been stopped, like, you know, when I first got
to Jacksonville, because I had actually relocated when I first started.
When I got a spot down South, people would like
they would stop me in malls and say, oh, man,
(10:37):
that's the guy from the show. And so I've never
had that happen to me. And so now, you know,
and also like my music is on all digital platforms.
So I was thinking a few days ago, man, I
feel like I've been really slacking on my Spotify promotion
and then I go on there and I haven't touched it.
Speaker 9 (10:59):
I haven't promote it.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
I have like over one hundred and twenty five monthly listeners.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
So it's like to.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Be able to build that name, you know, without any
major label endorsements. I mean, it really does feel good, man,
you know really, you know, I know that you you know,
I know that you've been down the same road. You know,
you made you know, you made quite a name for you,
you know, and so it's you know, it definitely feels
a little surreal at times.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You know, I can imagine, you know what, people just
don't see our struggle. No, you know what I'm saying,
They don't see you, like every day, like I was
telling her, you don't see the promotion we put in.
You don't see the way that I'm just saying as
an artist, and I'm saying as just a radio host.
Why I tell everybody too, man, Well, because you guys
see the highlights. You don't see the work that comes
(11:46):
before the highlights. You don't see when like you, you
got to go into the studio, you got to put
in new records, you got to call up people. The
business is crazy, and that's how you really keep your
buzz through the business, through the way that you push yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah right, yeah, okay, ahead, No, no, because out to say,
people think it's like such a like a dream world
and they think, oh, it's like, you know, so beautiful
and everything, but they really do not understand all the
work that goes daily in your life, you know, everything
that you have to push and push and push. I mean,
it's not just you sit back and do a song
(12:23):
and you know everything comes out right.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
And you know, it's crazy that you say that, because
I've had conversations with people that talk to me as
if you know, like, oh man, it's fine, just make
you know, just make another song and then you know,
you know it'll be fine.
Speaker 9 (12:37):
Like no, it doesn't.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
It doesn't work like like that, you know, like especially
when you have no major label endorsement, Like and we're
doing this all by ourselves. We're managing our own social medias,
we're paying for our own tours, you know, so we're
paying for the studio time.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Yeah, so you know, people don't see all of that
struggle and like.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Yeah, we're we might not be Jay Z or fifty cent,
but we still have to live up to a certain persona,
you know, and so you can get lost in it,
you can drown in it, and so people don't see
it that way, and you know, it's you know, that's
why I like to explain in my music the real
side of it.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You know, now, you're right, because I actually I see
it all the time. What bothers me the most about
the music industry right now is that everything that's out
there right now, for me is a mirage. These people,
a lot of people out there do not have talent,
but they got the money to make it look like
they do, right, And the people who actually have the
(13:36):
talent don't have as much money as those people. And
it's like, you know, it really irritates the hell out
of me when people do not see that. And I'm like,
you know, there's a pop singer who's really great. There's
a rock singer that's really great. There's an artist in
Florida that's really good, you know, and they just don't
know because they're too busy with all these mirage.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
That called the machine behind.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Yeah, there's a machine when you got a certain machine
behind all the machine.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, but all the machine is just having.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
A marketing marketing firm.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
So I've been around labels for a long time now,
and I figure in this. I tell every artist man,
I said, Marum.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
Yeah, you got you need a good pr that's good.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
No, you get affirm and you grow with the firm.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, because yeah, that's the only thing.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
And yeah, Dan Danny, I remember you telling me in
high school.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
You tried to tell me like that, you know, because
you know, young I always thought that, you know, I
always thought the like the main goal was to get
to the major label. And so I remember you tried
to warm me, and so I'm like, man, it just
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
Isn't the main goal to get to it?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
And so now actually, like you know, after signing countless
contracts and being in different types of deals and like
learning the ins and outs, I definitely get what you
were saying back then.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
I signed at fifteen to my first publicer, to my
first deal, and I told him when he because they,
oh this is great.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You were there?
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Did you see everybody when I first signed to the
to the that deal in Universal?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
How many people changed?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Everybody?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
He was there when that happened, you know, when Keys
picked me up and Keys took me and everybody showed
the deal.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
My teachers, were you.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
In the class when that weird teacher came up to
me and he started playing the saxophone.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
No way, yeah, no way.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I love going down memory lane.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Go ahead, No. I had my chain on, I had
a fur right and acting him.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
He was like, yeah, oh Jesus, okay, God, you remember that.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
This is the way I had the white from over
here and I had older girls next to me and
all that, and then mister computer shout out to jokes
he's compewter.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Would just be sitting there, be the bodyguard, but back
to his thing.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I sat there and I told him, I said, bro,
I said, because my thing is when I got into
the when I got signed, I was like, yeah, this
is great. So the first thing that they did to
me was, bro, you only it's only being seen right man.
Now you gotta do little work, more work. And I said,
what do you mean. I thought you guys do that.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
He said no. So I grabbed him aside and said, bro,
it's not like this.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's not what you're thinking.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Well, they were weird because they made me change my
whole persona like I used to know what they do
with me?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Who which the label?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I'm not with? But ahead I was.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
When I I signed a contract with I sign a
contract with Tony Rose, and so Tony Rose, did you
know he did a lot, you know, he had done
a lot to help me out, you know, but he like,
they were also trying to change me in a way
I wasn't comfortable with, you know, and you know, they
were just trying to give me a they were trying
(17:14):
to paint me as something that I wasn't and I
just I just felt, I just felt such a such
like a sellout vibe, you know, and I just couldn't
do it, you know, and it really it really spiraled
into a lot of mental stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
And yeah, was that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That twenty twelve?
Speaker 8 (17:32):
No, that was man, that was two thousand, between two
thousand and nine and twenty ten, because that happened right
before I got with Pap and that was in twenty eleven,
twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Okay, so you working a homeboy and what were they trying?
Because the thing is me and him, right, we're very close,
me and him back in the days of MySpace.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
My space, you know when you talk about my space.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Okay, first off, first off, I met a lot of
people that you see that it's celebrities now.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's true, Like Drake hit us up, Drake used to
hit us up.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
I don't know you ever had nothing with Drake and
Drake's people would always like write you and stuff like that,
like right on the on the thing, and then you
would hit them up like J Miles, well J Miles
was popping.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You would always see J Miles come down. Remember we
first started in MySpace.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
No, so okay, so that never happened with Drake. I
remember something similar.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
Happened with Kalid, but with me and DJ Khalid before
he got big.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yeah, okay, so you're talking about like he basically put
his whole marker on your thing. Remember, because years ago
you used to hit a Lincoln. It used to be
a box and you would just hear their music and
then you would just see all the plays and stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And there was one record that I blew up with.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
And he never let me down of it because I
always forget about that.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's Weird.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
It's Weird. I love it. You still have that, yo, bro,
I've been wanting to bump that.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So you know what's the record I got signed with?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Oh? What record is that?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
It's weird? I got signed weird.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's called It's Weird.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You're a man and yelling at my dad. Why do
I act dad and yell at my dad? Come around,
spit a versus my.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Mom, and.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Day, oh good it is today.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
You know what's funny though? And I'm gonna say with
you because you're gonna die laughing at this. He comes
into school, he starts wrapping it. I go down the
damn that. I go down by the classroom. They start
wrapping it. Everybody's rapping. As I look on it's weird.
It's fifty thousand plays.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
In one day. I'm like, what is going on here?
That's weird?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
What a half a million word of my mother? Half
a million in one day? Half a million and one
half a million and one half a million. That's the
record I got signed with.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh my god, it's weird. It's called It's weird.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
It was. It was the worst record. I felt like
I did.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He love it.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Everybody out here loved it. I did it because I
was mad at my father.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Oh geez.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So I went into the studio and I finished it,
and all of a sudden, it's weird. It's weird. It's weird.
And then I read it, and then why rap started
writing about it? This one started writing about it. The
Vibe people started writing about it. I'm like, what is
going on? And that's how I got the first deal?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That is so weird.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
But you're saying twenty twelve, but intended you said in
twenty twelve, I mean twenty ten, Right, what did you
meet this guy who Tony Rose?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Okay, So the story with me and Rose, my dad
was working at was working at a hotel taking people
to and from the airport, and Tony Rose was one
of the people, and so they got to talk.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
And because my dad likes to talk to people.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
And so and so in their conversation, he discovered that
Tony Rose was who he was.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
He actually helped discover along with Marie Starr.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
He helped discover acts like New Kids on the Block
and things like that. So I had sent my demo
to him and I was like, I'd say fourteen fifteen,
and he said that, and he said that I need
a little bit more work. So then fast forward, I
sent him a demo at nineteen.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
He said, is go time? And so that yeah, no,
keep going.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
No, I'm intrigued right now because I didn't know none
of this, but me and him was sit there at
work all the time on his thing but he's always
a quiet when he never says nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And then one day he goes, you look at this,
I look at it. Now he don't say nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But that's good.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
He's a quiet assassin.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That's good.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
I move in silence. I move in silence.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
So okay, So I know that's the reason why I
said that. Now, what did if you mind me asking
what did?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What did? Tony? So you all right?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
So that fast forward? Tony says, go time, what was
your first thing when you met him?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What was for? Like where did you go? And like
what was like the first time you ever sat down
when him?
Speaker 6 (22:03):
It had like the meeting with him when I was like,
all right, let's get it.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Well, so okay, so a lot of ours because he
was stationed I believe in Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Excuse me.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
So the majority of our communication was phone and email.
The first time I met him, he came down when
I shot my music video under when I was like
when I was in contract with him. Right after I signed,
we set up a music video and then he came
down for that. And then the next day after the shoot,
(22:38):
we had a meeting in South Florida with Maurice Starr
to talk about some business.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So you were what you flew to Florida was on
the phone.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
No, No, he flew to Florida because the video shoot
was in Florida. And then the very next day me
and him drove further south because we had a meeting
with Maurice Starts to talk about some business.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
So that was uh. And so then.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
You know, of course he went back to Phoenix, and
you know, we did some work to promote the project,
and then we had an album release party in uh
and I think it was in Manhattan somewhere in either
in Soho or somewhere in the village.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
And you had an release party or was it one
of theirs?
Speaker 9 (23:32):
No, I had an album release party in the city.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And I don't know.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
No this well, no, I think I.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Think are you talking to you after the show?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No, no, no, I love it.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
No, Yeah, I don't. I don't know how. I don't
know how.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
You don't you didn't know because I think because I
think we were still in touch.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Then we were always in touch until the whole thing.
But we'll get into that, but but we were always
you know what it is, man, I think I was
so I think I was so busy.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Yeah you, I think you.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
I don't know what you were into at the time,
but like you weren't as busy as you are now
doing all like the radio stuff.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
But so it's it's funny.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
I actually met Pat Poos while in New York right
before my album party, and so I linked up with him.
We did want one song, and then it kind of
parlayed into something bigger.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
And so after my album with Tony dropped, I just.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You know, I just felt lost in myself, you know,
to the point where like I didn't like who they
were portraying me to be and it was kind of
messing with me mentally. So I broke ties with Tony,
you know, and then linked up with Pat Poos and
then got under uh, got under Thucacation and then went
(24:47):
on to did the mixtape Haters.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The Five Things to Depth, right, he put you onto,
put You on and on.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Yeah, so I didn't know that he because that track
was for my mixtape. I didn't know that he put
it on his. But I wasn't hating because it was
just more exposure, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
That's when the King of New York whole thing, and
he was running around saying that in the years with
Red Cafe and they were going at each other and
this one was.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Going at that one.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Yeah, it was a really weird time.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
No, it was ill because everybody got exposure back then.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, well that's all it is true. I mean, you
want to get as much exposed.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
So he put you down at thug Occasion. So will
you sign it the occasion?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
No?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I never so Thug Occation is not is not a label.
The label is honor before money and Thug Ocation, I
guess is just his like his click. But so he
uh so he put me on with with them. I
was supposed to be on the on the like that
Thug Occation mix uh remix, but that never happened because
(25:55):
it's it's a long story, the whole.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Thing with no, no, no, no, no, I know.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
But my thing was funny is I watched him. So
I'm watching him and he on I see him walking
in with his white backwards hat like this, and it's
like my boot day and he in the video and
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
What he in the video like.
Speaker 9 (26:15):
That? In Brooklyn.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Pap told me one thing that was so I told
the Pap, this is when start working with you, you
probably don't even know.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yo e what's up? Yo? Your man? It's quick on
that mic I sent him a verse. He sent me that.
In two minutes. I'm sitting here and I'm going whoa.
Pap told me that that's true. Sorry, Pap told me that.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Yeah, well I never knew that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, now you do now because Pap was talking about it. Yo, man,
what up?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What up?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But like me and Pap still keep it so all right,
but you know, he said good things about you.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Well, I'm I mean, that's just so weird considering all
that was going on, you know, I mean it was
it was some foul things, man, But at.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The end of the day, he grew for you learned
the industry.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Yeah, okay away from that in the game, but again
you did ill stuff because you had Roys to five nine,
you had Joe Butdens on your record. Well yeah, I
on your record.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
And then then they grew into the fact into me
getting these connections and be able like you know, because
Pap was pretty much acting as a mental man.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
That's how he was able to take advantage of me.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
So you know so much because me not knowing nothing,
you know, but now I'm able to I'm able to
like contact people, labels, artists, I'm able to hit them
up myself, and a lot of them know of me
because of the name that I have previously made.
Speaker 9 (27:40):
You know what I mean. So I mean it's.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Previous because he was in records with If I'm correct,
I'm gonna break it down real quick.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
He's gonna break it eye Joe Buddens.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Tell me if I'm missing any Pat Woos and Royce
to five nine.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Also, I did, uh did work with Prodigy for my
deep before he passed.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
Remy Ma Jesus, I worked with Method Man.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
I just I actually so the Method Man joint was
for my album, but there was some shady stuff going
on there and so long story short, the track was
sent to me with the Method Man verse over an
industry beat. So I sat on it for years because
I didn't know how I was going to be able
(28:28):
to make money from this. And so finally I just
like this year, I came to grips. I'm like, man,
I love the game and I love hip hop so
much that and I respect the culture. I'm going to
give back. I'm I'm I'm going to give this out
completely for it for free. I can't make I can't
make anything off of it. So I put it out
on SoundCloud exclusively for free. People can download it. It's
(28:51):
called B Season. It's on SoundCloud featuring Method Man. It's dope,
you know, I mean it's I mean, I the fact
that I did that without any major label endorsement. I mean,
that's wu tang, you know what I mean. That's a
big deal for hip hop.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
My question to you is you did recordar with Prodigy?
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah? Oh you don't know, man, I'll sevent to you
after the show.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Really I didn't know he did records with Product. Me
and him did a mixtape too, and it.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Was with ron G.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Yes, ron G, Man, we did a mixtape, me and
me and my because me this is this is my
right right here. So me and him did a mixtape
with ron G. People don't know that the legendary ron.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
G and Yeah, Nika what up?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Like what you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
So like a lot of people like look at they
go okay, okay, but you're looking at them, like, bro
already everybody that you see on the TV, you want
to do a record with.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I did a record with Yeah, Yeah, you know what
I'm saying, so like, you don't say nothing like he was.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
I'm looking at them like, yo, bro, you know what
the illest thing that was when Royster five nine said
that whole thing about Justin Bieber. I literally walked out
of the the when I was listening to it because
he gave me the exclusive listen to this. Man bumped
this crazy. This is going nuts, and I said, get out.
You all said I heard like when took the mic
away from Justin Biebe.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I said, nope, nope, nope, I did not hear Royce
the five nine just say that.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
The cipher.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Yo, you guys are crazy. No, this is this is
the one thing I want to say too. Is Eminem
recorded He was recorded that on tour with Eminem right,
I'm guessing on the Bad Means Evil tour.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Yeah, Royce was on tour with him while he while
he did that verse.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Man, all right, People don't realize I don't got a
lot of legendary people, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
You go, and I gotta hear more because I'm not.
I'm a fan. Right now, who else did you do
a record with that? I don't know.
Speaker 9 (30:48):

Speaker 8 (30:58):
Remember that song you and me did, and me and
your dad, No, me and your dad did volunteers, and
then you got on the remix.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
I had to get on the remix because then we
did the pimp record and then yes, oh yeah pimping.

he had this. He's a young remember.
Speaker 2 (31:15):

we used to do it on something called mixed crafts
mix yeah a yeah, think I don't remember that.

I can't believe you said mixed craft.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Man, I got pro tools, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Like in two thousand and nine, he said, Yo, look
at this right here, mixcraft boom.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I said, what is mixed craft He went off of mixedcrab.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
I'm like, oh my, because years ago you had to
have a professional studio to really record, right. The only
thing that you could do when we used to do
with the cheats is that we used to get PCs
or we used to like big PCs and put them
in here and then buy a little a little dongo
thing like this and with a microphone strap and that
used to be for the pro tools.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
And then what you could do is you can.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Go on mixedcraft dot com and download mixedcrap, put put
your microphone thing over here with the big mic down here.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
And then record. It wasn't like you could do it
on the phone that didn't exist.

Speaker 9 (38:35):

Speaker 12 (38:37):
Studying discographies, cartography went for red lining our property, hard
poverty to headline and harmonically a smart product. You man,
we're all spirits having a human experience unified by rhymes
over these musical instruments, choosing a perrid the lines to
paint pictures in your mind like beautiful pyramids.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Kudos the lyrics, dropping.
Speaker 12 (38:56):
Gyms because the youth needs guidance.
Speaker 9 (38:58):
The teachers and the words and of learning.
Speaker 12 (39:00):
In the silence, I just wanted to chill on the eyelids,
far away from sirens and violins and open.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
My third high.

Speaker 9 (39:24):
I know we all saying yeah face no man.
Speaker 8 (39:39):
Wa yeah Crooked Eye from Slaughterhouse on the third and
then the gospel singing that you guys here, that's my homide,
William Levant.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
Well, okay, first off, I thought that was you.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
Singing no, no, no, That that is me singing on
on the hook. William Levant did the background vocals and
and he and he started the hook on the on
the very last hook, right after right after the crooked Diverse.
He started off that hook and then we take over
and we sing it together. But I'm I sing I
(40:13):
sing the hook.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Let me just say one thing, Okay, give me the
close up, okay, will you? I think that Pure of
the Water song is a hit. I think that song,
if played and properly placed, can go sky high because
not only does it have the all the singers that
you have on it, they mesh so well. You know,
(40:39):
I'm trying to say. It's not like one takes the
other out, it's they all together, unified in such harmony.
That is a sure fire hit right there. I love that.
Speaker 9 (40:51):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Put it up mere real quick.

Speaker 9 (41:13):

from it?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Like he messed up my stomach. That's the stomach harmonically.
And then.
Speaker 8 (41:27):
I was like and ye know yeah, and and and
I thought that that it was really cool of Crooked
Eye because like, you know, he I mean you you
could tell that he does his homework. He doesn't just
bang out features like I didn't tell him about the
name of the project that because the name of the
(41:49):
project that the song is on is called three Gems.
It consists of three of three songs of three records
that came to me like by the grace of God,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
And so I heard these, I'm like, these are three monsters.
And so.
Speaker 8 (42:08):
Long story short, you know, like when I got the
verse back, and so I heard his verse and he
said something about kudos to lyricists dropping gems because the
youth needs guidance.
Speaker 9 (42:19):
Like I was like, oh, man, Like he like, he
really does his homework.
Speaker 8 (42:23):
And so he looks up, he looks up about the
artist and looks what they got going on it and
then and then he does his work.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
You know, he's always been ridiculous. Shout out to him.
What about the other singer? How'd you get the other singer?
Speaker 8 (42:35):

actual my studio engineer shut out Paul Lipinski.
Speaker 9 (42:45):

Speaker 8 (42:46):
I told him what I was looking for, you know,
kind of like a gospel vibe, and so he said
that he knows this one dude.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
His name is William Levant.
Speaker 8 (42:56):
And so I had a big studio session in booked
because when I booked session, it's like ten or twelve hours,
and so I booked it and had him come at
the top of the hour, you know, at the top
of the session, and so he you know, I explained
the record to him. He heard it, he loved it,
and we got you know, we got to chop it
(43:18):
up a little bit, and he actually came to my
Jacksonville show and we actually performed together.
Speaker 9 (43:23):

That was good, Okay now let me just say something
because a lot of times when me and Danny have
someone on the show and the songs are playing, I
put my little notes and I throw it to him
and he'll give me little notes and everything, because we're
always try to compare. We're always trying to like give
the what kind of vibe? Okay, now when I I
know you have a different vibe. But when I was
(47:09):
listening to it, it brought me back to the days, okay,
of Will Smith. I'm not saying he's Will Smith. All
I'm saying is he reminds me of the Will Smith
songs like Welcome to Miami. And it has that joyful beat.
It has that beat that is so missing these days. Okay,
(47:30):
and his song and his and his vibe and his
words and his verbiage are all perfect. Now, go ahead,
what do you guys say?
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Eminem Hodini?
Speaker 9 (47:41):
Okay, I can see that. I can see so with
Danny Is and you, it's it's Will Will Smith before
the Chris Rocks lap.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Okay, yes, before that. Okay, Yeah, we're talking decades, all right, right,
I was playing. Yeah that was good though, that was good.
Speaker 6 (48:06):
I like it because that's what that's what But I
always not times sound weird, but I always seeing your style.
Speaker 2 (48:10):
A little bit kind of like Eminem because he like influenced.
Speaker 8 (48:13):
You, right, yeah, you know he that was definitely one
of the main one of the main influences him and
him and Joe Budden Man, and it's it was crazy,
like getting the opportunity to work with like people like Button,
like people that like before I was driving to school,
when my mom would be driving me to school, people
that I would be bumping in the car on the way.
Speaker 9 (48:34):
Now she listens to me on songs with them. It's like,
you know, it's like crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
That must be that, you know, that's he's got a
good vibe.
Speaker 6 (48:42):
You got a dope project, Will Smith without the flap,
He's got a really good project.
Speaker 2 (48:48):

and there's you know, there's some things that you know
that I want to do and I want to add
so so with the additions, it's been upgraded to an album.

you both long autants Yo.
Speaker 8 (51:11):
I actually just I just got the vocal stems about
like a couple hours ago, ridiculous before Yeah, the verse

I got on here, I was actually.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Doing some.
Speaker 8 (51:26):
Uh some of the mixing for it. So it's definitely
it's definitely going to be fire man. I'm definitely that's
extremely excited about it. We actually, you know, this is
the first time that we're actually getting to work together.
We tried back in like two thousand and ten and
he was just too busy. It's just it never happened.
Speaker 9 (51:47):
But now you know, now we're now we finally got
to make it happen.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Shout out to Strange Music.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Absolutely, it's you know, what's really cool is that like
a lot of times when we have people on the
certain people on the show, it's like, you know, with
Nico and Jerry Robinson and stuff, it's so weird because
a lot of people don't know that you guys grew
up together. You know, you both all went to high
school together. You're in school, right, you know, and it's like,
(52:16):
you know, it's pretty cool because then you come back around,
you know, like decades later, right, and you kind of
see where everyone is placed and where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 9 (52:27):
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
Always find your way back, you know.
Speaker 8 (52:32):
Jerry, because you know, I was conversing with Jerry's management
and so they're like, you know, they hit me back.
It's like, yeah, Jerry actually knows exactly who you know,
exactly you know exactly who you know, He knows who
you are and you know, and he said, you know,
to make sure that you take you know, you take
really good care women and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
You know, that's great, and that's what it is is too.
You know why because like Jerry and even with Danny
as well. It's like you can have some many people
around you like claiming and being like your best friend
and everything, but they really are real g that you
know are true. Okay, So, and that's the way it's
(53:12):
always going to be, you know. It's just that people
can say and people can come and go and everything,
but you guys are always tight knit regardless. So I
love about love. That's what I love. So if anything,
just close the show with the fabulous artist Nico. It's
an I q u e oh okay, Oh, I'm sorry
(53:33):
and I qu e dash oh Nico, And if anything,
