Speaker 4 (01:28):
The track needs.

We're bad that we've been in each other circles.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Very but because they don't right now, that's but we'll
go introduce it. So you went totender obviously that that's
what you go by. You didn't go with the day's name.
He just wanted to be your name as is. Tell
us how long have you been doing music?
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Funny story, I started off as like as a manager
for a friend of mine who was actually a rapper,
and then suddenly I fell in love with the arch right,
which is like in twenty twenty fifteen, I think, so
managed sixty Yeah, like I would manage my friend like
you know, I would.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Pay studio sessions, you know, okay to record.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
And stuff like that. And then suddenly I was like
I want to do this. And there was a friend
of mine at school who also made He was like
two streams ahead of me. I think he's like, I
make dope, Like let me make a picture. He made
a beat. We went to the studio. I recorded my
first song. It was called sweat. I think, yeah, sweck flick,
and it came out dope. But then I was still
(02:56):
a rapper at that time. And then uh as sport
I finished Okay, right before I finished act like my
last year of Ice.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I realised the song with a friend of mine who
was called Sick.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
He was a singer, so we were on this appro
vibe and I was like, inter mister Easy, that much
like you know, I don't know, mister Easy just came
at the right moment.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I guess the reason.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I actually started like, you know what, I need to
be this kind of artist or I want to upper
beats and stuff like that. And then we made a
song called Fine Fine. It made the women. It made
the women go crazy, so attracting the women.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I was like, you know what, this might be the
mad ever you.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Exactly bro, Like what did you say? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Is that the guy who did the Bad One with.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
The exactly that's good.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I actually talked to your boy to put his music
like on Apple Music and the banger.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I've been I've been on his neckwork a year and
a half. It's not too about that situation, bro, that
don't aload, but.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Bad One is crazy, that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Goest know how he managed to like even like you
think of putting Darryl on it because the combination of
his voice and the Apple like vibe that brings.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Exactly, Bro, it's you bro, like Zeke alone. You guys
are not reaching the music has been sending me like
in my inbox.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Literally, I'm like.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
What, dude, Like this is some next level stuff, Like
I do not know how to explain it, like you
just you just have to wait for it, Like okay.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So you you're one of the few people who decided
to use their real name as h as uh as
a as an as the artists name. Yeah, because I
understand why I'm asking why your name is the Tender
obviously multiple views for the view who don't know that
it has got quite a popular name in the bubble,
(04:52):
So what made you actually want to just stick to
it and use that as your music name.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
So the thing is, when I started off as a rapper,
I used to go to Slim Tea about but it
wasn't really what I wanted because I was just calling
Slim Jade.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I was like, you know, and I was like, I
need to be original, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
And with this Apha thing, I was like, I need
to be original when I make my first song, like
as like a professional artist, which is generator funny thing
that was on it and Lloyd so so I.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Took it one exactly.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
So I took a week trying to figure out before
the song came out, trying to figure out what should
I call myself? Why should I and people asking me
what's your aka? What's your aka? And it got to
my head so much I was like, you know what,
let me just use my name. Come on, like, nobody
I've never heard of it. Attender Wi is a big artist,
oh and artists. To be honest, at that time, I
didn't I didn't even know if people go by the
name like the Tender all I know.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I was like.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Abutakura or Darryl and stuff like that. Those are the
people that I knew who used the Originally. I was like,
all right, I might just be Tender. Know one day
when people say to turn that, I'll be the first
thing or the first person put the name to turend that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Pops out on Google's right. I'm telling you myself.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
To it to be your picture with Zimbabwe musicians, but
what exhibit exactly.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
So it's just like you know what, I'm going to
talk build one day, so let me just use my
name and people are going to know this name one day.
I'm going to inspire as the kids to just use
their original name. So that's just that's the story.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Okay, well if I'm paid on it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
The main reason I wanted you here outside the flight
that you're an amazing artist definitely, and the fact the
thing is another thing that I like about you as
art is not only your way past the music, right,
you've got the social skills. Another big fact, like if
you remember a past conversation we're talking like the main
issue with the African artists was specifically Zimbabwean artists. Is
(06:51):
they get a little bit of popularity of a song
and people obviously start showing them and then they think
they're now famous and start teaching people like their fans
and all that. What people don't understand. Also, what these
artors don't understand is them people. Yes, there's cancel culture
in America, but that's the social media canceling is this.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
They will forget about you, bro.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So that's also like one of the things that look
like one you you managed to remain consistent.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You haven't changed. You're like when something when people achieve,
and it's like it's like the same person.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Want to We don't even talk about your dancing, Like dude,
I don't talk about it like every pain that even
an audio like there's not like when I wanted to
it's just fu into a remote interview, but.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
That they would have wanted you to stand up being showing.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
People a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
There's that.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
And then also your music goes with different it's just authentic.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I like I like the fact that you're mixing the
short now the English and literally your music and you
are just one person. There's not like us differentiation but
to what I was actually saying, your new single, tell
us about the new thing.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Oh, the new single, bro, even I'm not ready for it.
It's it's I've never been so confident with the song.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I don't want to be too confident about it. I
don't want to chase it anything. But it's like the
funny story is like I recorded the song. Okay, I
made the song in twenty twenty eighteen. I'm serious. It
was eight that's when. That's when I wrote the song.
And then we lost the fires with my friend the
original gun that I made it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
His name was Jaede. Oh, his name is Jed.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
And then the next year I was looking for a
producer who could like recreate it. So I only had
the song in my head and my lyrics. At that time,
I only had the hook. Then I had to go
through six producers twenty nineteen to get the right to
get exactly what I wanted, and thank god, Textas just
(08:52):
came through and we made this banger.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The moment we made it, the moment I laid the
first verse ever, I was like, this is a this
is a hit. This so what this is? You know?
And it got to my head, and I was like,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I was just gonna play like the short clip like that.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
If you can hear this, literally you only drop my
ticket And I'm.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Still going great, like you dont like a old slipper
off literally full tickets of that video on your media.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That song.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
That song has been in the vote or in the
archives for the longest, and every time when I tell
people the story, it's like, nah, you're lying, it's this.
I'm like, no, literally, I've hit the software. He's two
and a half years now, like, and I didn't know
what to do with it. I didn't know when to
release it. And sometimes there are technicalities that were, you know,
(09:48):
just failing us at some point.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
But I think I think it was just all litening
to this moment. You see, who knew it is supposed
to get the exclusive?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Absolutely, I believe I I believe that. I think it
was delayed. It was not denial.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
It was just delayed, like something is missing on this project,
and that's not to be involved in somewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Bro your name was just all over it, like it
makes sense now.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It makes sense, all right?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So the Times.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Called new Balance, I'm assuming because that's what you put
under the and it's done, Like dude, the drums will
beat and even like you're like.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Fake, and I'm like, yo, it's fight.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I have so much to talk about.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
It's five seconds, bront listen to the entire.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Song five seconds and I'm losing my ship already.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
It's funny how that that kid got so much struction,
Like I don't even expect that. I was just like,
you know what, I'm about to reach the song in
the next two weeks or something. Let me just jump
listen to this.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
What are you paying? Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Yoh?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Those five seconds have literally blown my TMS up, like
with people saying where's the track?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Where's the teck? I can't fight it on Spotify.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
The first people to comment, I was like, you're like,
wait to that lug this. I was like, today, ship, what.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Do you mean?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Bro?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
I ended up calling my producers that day like ten times.
I was like, dude, it takes the song now, Like
I'm like, and I had to consider like you're, you know,
have to do submissions and stuff like that, and then
I was like, okay, now.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Let me just ease it, you know, take tickets. It's coming.
You know, it's like you said, it was just delayed,
but it's coming. And yeah, so what do you okay?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
So obviously the song is a banger. We already know that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know that, I have no doubt that because you know,
we have a lot of songs in the part like
big artists. With the actual song, it was a disappointment,
like I remember easy with kodact Black, Yeah, and when
it was of disappointing likewise, been numerous cases like this,
but I don't know something above me.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Just tell me that's not the case.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yet, Just tell you that's not the case.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
So that's what that we say.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What are you hoping to achieve with with the dropping
of this song?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Well, with the song, trust me, I am definitely looking
forward to collaborating with different artists, especially from them after
like you know, the job hopefully gets to me nonstructured
to you know, get collaborations right.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Mostly there's like there's always a target.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Like in terms of like your collaborations, you hope the
song gets to a certain person so that they can
at least consider you. And you know when you say, yo,
I have a track, you know, let's do something that's work.
Let's work at the business side or whatever we need
to work out, but let's make the you know, let's
make the art.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And also I hope to just like change as a person,
like be better with it.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Poost my confidences to say, like, you know, you know,
when something gets when you're like probably on level one
and you release the track, you hope to get on
level three and then you go to like level five,
like you.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Know, like that you're actually you know, considering the levels.
Like a lot of people just want to jump straight
from one song to boom one point three million reviews.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Or plays and exist. They don't realize that building takes on.
Jacko was in the studio before.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
He put up don't don't get me wrong, Like blowing
up in a day is okay, but like there's there's
something in like that struggle. I'm not saying I want
to struggle, but then there's something in that like leveling
up from two three, you know, like you get to
tell people your experiences, your stories, Like you know what
after this, I did this, there was this crazy thing
(13:53):
that happened, which then suddenly it just happened. Somebody also
headed in their laptop. They're told in it, and then
you know, like those stories.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Your song and that's why you receieved.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It exactly, like you know, you know, like if you
know those kind of stories.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Like you did, just say that what happened with this song?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No? No, no, you know I'm saying. Know what I'm saying,
Like somebody, I've had.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Like a like a situation where I lost the song
in my in my laptop and then like like my
song and then one of my friends just so happens
to have the song and I'm like, how did you
get the song because I never send it to you.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I never send it and he's like a.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Quick flash drive and the exactly, and You're like.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's what you've been doing, bro, Like you no, it
was just that song. I asked you for it so
many times, but you could give it to me, you know.
But I knew, you know, one day.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
It would help, you know, And instead of me being
mad at that moment, I was like so grateful because
now I get to listen to the beat remake it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I get to listen to what I did on the
track and and D make it. So Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Also, I think you know you're a different person. I'm
pretty sure you're a different person than you were in
twenty eighteen. A lot of girls, I'm like, I know
for a fact, I'm not the same person I was
six months ago.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Like you're alone twenty eighty. Well even aging one.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Age you were saying a funny story about this song
is like it's based off a true story, but it's
like a how song.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Let me just give you like a short story. You know,
this is eighteen.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I'd broken up with this girl, and then I had
like three months you know sways, the curls and it's
like three months of four of you know, no introduction.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
With girls and stuff like that. And then I and
I had this one shoe.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
There's one show that was in my like in my
in my shooting, I need I need to put on
it that moment in time that like if I wanted
to go anywhere, I would wear this shoe.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And this shoe was a new balance, like.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, that one that you want to do it, you know,
the only saying when.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
You're exactly So, then there was this was it unplugged,

Speaker 4 (16:12):
That the same I'm planed in the line with the
legs and I think that did You're like two hours ago.

the boys were like, you know what.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We're going to do this, We're going to do this,
We're going to talk to you know today, and.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Then like people had people that were expecting, you know,
and I wasn't expecting anyone personally to say, I'm going
to you know, answer with this one.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I'm going to see this person and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I just went with the.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Boys, but the boys had another idea. I was like, okay, gee.
So it was just as hours in the park that
I saw this girl and she had a better like
a white Benzo bro like and likeion, I was like
ship like a ben like a Benzo, Like.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Okay, me, I'm not gonna lee to you. My head
wasn't the gutter. So when you're saying white benzol, I
was thinking something else. So I'm glad you can find
that you made the vehicle ladies in Germany talking about
an actual vehicle, automobile and white in color.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
It was wearing a white thundard. Okay.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
So the thing is I got to that car and
I started looking at it, you know, I just marrying it.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But then I didn't want to look like I'm you know, you.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Know, you know those guys. One of those guys is
just go in front of a so probably I'm probably
trying to steal some ship. I was like, okay, let
me move, let me step back. As soon as I
stepped back, I pumped into this girl and then that
was a car and the name was that I and
I was like, oh sorry, and it's like, oh, my
(17:58):
name is that. I was like, okay, I didn't ask
you if your name is anything.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't ask you know what I mean. And then
I was going I was moving away.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Then she's like I was like what oh.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
I was like, my good man, your bother be another
episode I'm going a blank another YouTube episode of a blank.
Speaker 1 (18:30):

So she's like yeah, I'm like, okay, g We kind
of had a conversation, you know, just a little bit,
and she's like, I know you from athletics whatnot.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
But I was like, okay, cool, that's okay. Then I moved.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Back, you know, started dancing whatnot. But not as I
was going. It just so happened. I also bumped into
her as I was going and she gave me a number,
you know, and that you know, this girl is just
like the most polite person I've ever seen, the kind
of person I've ever seen. From that day, she would
she would always ask me, what's up? What do you
(19:05):
want to do? Because this is the time where I
always trying to figure out where whether I'm going to university,
I'm going to music, or what am I going to
do with my life in general? And she was very
supportive of like whatever I was doing. And then you know,
that's why I wrote the song, you know, just dip
in that.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know, let's just leave you that the song is
based on the girl you meant exactly, and I'm just
that I'm somewhere within that story.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Like that's what I'm.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Bro Like if if if, if you remember that day
we were dancing. We were dancing, so.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Remember to take up shows went and then we just
stay with like nothing but.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Like there was no tomorrow, Like it was just perfect.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
I don't know, like it all makes sense now, Like
the universe just has a way of bringing things together.
That's where the story starts, that's where the story needs
to continue from.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Yeah, that's actually crazy so.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
He's doing contact with this girl.

You know it is your balance is dropping this weekend?
Why why are you looking nervous now?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
But you're all confident now we put a data on it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know, it's you know, when it's start popping in
my head, you know, but you know we're good, be good.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
It makes it really exactly what exactly?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Yeah, I mean you might have all this confidence, it's
not like at the end of the day, I'm human
and yeah, things that you you know like you kind
of feel like, but then never doubt yourself.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Of course there's that mentality.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Bro. I'm fortunately now you're gonna see it's gonna get
popular about damatality. Basically, what it is is there's nothing
you can't do, bro exactly, ask yourself this, has.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
There ever been a dog that you went you did
receive plenty bro cool now and there's nothing you can't do.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Something you can't do, you can't do it yet, but
you can do it. And that's a mentality.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
The funny thing is, like you know, when you're having
discus the conversation with like sports and then you say
that in sports genuinely you just used.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
To tell yourself that I'm the fist, and.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Then you tell somebody you and then psychologically somebody like
tell yourself I am the pist.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Suddenly you know, like not suddenly, but it comes out
like you know that feeling just to.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Many face, you know exactly affirmations you're affirming.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
And the reason why, the reason why I've come to
realize and why I'm trying to push it now is
a lot of people are now, well this is high
if you know what I'm saying, So people on my feet.
There's a same line between trying to they find that
people I'm now mistaken being cocky and then you're trying
(22:27):
to firm yourself like some people actually need that verbal
affirmation and actually get about the day.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Like they're confusing pride and confidence or being cokey like
what you say it like, you know, I'm just being
confident with myself. I needed to post myself as a
human peed to get myself to the next level. It's
not that I'm paying you know, somebody who's got pride
or exactly feeling myself, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah, And you also just have to have, you know,
confidence in your abilities. And if I'm not, if I'm
you know, with that New Batteran song, you are that guy.
So what there's definlutely nothing wrong. Would you tell yourself
right now? No bullshit.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
If we're talking outside rap outside REP, if.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
We're talking artists right outside REP, it's you, and for
me it's you and Daryl up it it's you and
it's up. If we're talking outside REP, and if we're
talking as in ZIM as a whole.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
My top five is very very slim, and I'm not
gonna say it's my top five, but just honorable mention.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
So actually leave ray Cats.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That boy's lyrics are nasty, That boy's witch is disgusting.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Like the ship even thinks about it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Sometimes you say something that post like I say, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Wait, oh, you know then you are few when talk
about few fields, this vibe is just different.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Phusic Fuse is probably one of my best rapper It's
not even just one of my favorite rabbits, not even.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Liking them like in general, like in general.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, he talks about the ship that I can actually realize,
like when he's like if you I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
One of his favorite songs, one of my favorite songs
by a few he has gone too Soon.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Oh, and you can relate to that, like you know,
you think before like before you even listened to the song,
I cannot fully it gives you so many like a
perspective of different like what goes too soon? You know,
not just allocating it to the person, but then so
many things go to see like you like you know, like.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You should appreciate.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
There's so much like artists is just like that's also
like that's not what I'm talking about. Like your song
You're You're you better, your whole background of it, there's
a whole story.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
There's a whole story.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
There's no in the condle.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
What condo and even condos and.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Like what I'm even talking about and what visions like, Bro,
I've seen about yours against the more.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
With a couple of what visions like you know, I
don't like that, which is something that as something like
I'm approaching.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You, Darryl Ray as few King Pharaoh.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I'm like, King.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Pharaoh is come if yea king is coming up and
ya sayune like that, pray the prayer one bro, And
he did without cussing, not a single swear.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Like how did this rappers the pen game?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
How guys if Pharaoh, if if you're watching this, if
you're listening to this, bro, please come school me.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Just come come school me. Bro.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Okay, but you see that's even what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Even you as an artist, we I went we went
into a tangent, but other artists and not a single
hate or a single you know you know that the.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Other artists and start talking.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
About other artists and just like He's right, Yeah, that's
like what I'm talking is one something I'm starting to
even appreciate more and more and with like what said.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Support most of these other people. It's the core, yeah,
like it's the call. And we as fans and listeners.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
We hear that.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
We can tell that you're bullshitting in your music exactly.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Like I think people need to appreciate each other more,
even especially the zim artists industry. I feel like they
don't have enough support for each other. I think people
should show more love rather than a beat, the upcoming,
the old cats, whoever it is. You know, like love
helps you grow, it just builds everything. So the moment
you see somebody doing the bests or great and there's music,
(26:35):
there's freestyles or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You know, it doesn't hurt to be posts. It doesn't hurt.
Like I mean, let them be the men of the moment,
allow them men to be. Bro. Like Pharaoh is topping
that feast out right now, Bro, Like.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
That thing goes nasty. Don't know that the thing is nasty?
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Bro, Bro, people stopping you missed see your diet eye No?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, okay, so obviously right out of time, and we
don't also want to also do want to like make
the podcast too long?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
You know, someone looks at poges No. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
So with that being said, out clothing remarks, closing remarks
that you have to tell the people and also what
you have to thank you know who's what you're like,
you're motivated like people you have to thank to be
grateful for.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Shout out and just your clothing remarks.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Well, I'm really appreciative of like the whole Roman rap society,
like this is like a bunch of artists, producers, beat makers,
pH geographers, everyone as a whole, like the rights of
Alloid Boid Chicky.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Texas the one who make the beat.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Like those guys have just been inspirational in my life,
like they pushed me to the next level. They always
tell me, not the song doesn't sound right. Nah, Jesus, bro,
I know you, you know, but you you're like too
much into your head right now, try this strategy or
you know. And obviously my boy Mitch yo, I don't
I don't know, I don't know where to start when
it comes to Mitch, Like it's been there for me
(28:10):
since the day I met him, right so now he's
forever there, like from the videos as a person in general,
just helping me out, you know, being better, you know,
Daryl shout out to the boy, you know, Daryl nots
ma Bro, Darryl nots Like, I don't even know what
to say when it comes to that. It's just love,
(28:30):
all love, you know. And definitely my sister, you know,
my big sister is always very supportive of what I do.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
She you know, she pushes me to go to the
next level. She'll be like, you know, just try it,
try it out. You know. If it's not going to work, we'll.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
See when it doesn't work, but for now, just try it,
you know, see who you know, take your limits, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And she's also helping funds sometimes, you know, because sometimes
you know.
Speaker 4 (29:00):

What you haven't so and if your IF songs that
came out in twenty eighteen. I'm only bangings not but hey,
you know this happens all the time. Fucking split games
was made ten years ago and it's only popping up now.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Bro. Bro, these things, they just have a funny way
of happening, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
But most of my music was made around twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, even the ones that I'm gonna release and future,
you know, the ones that are been making now. Yes,
the good vibe maybe it's like you know, but I've
kept with this sound for the longest.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I just still I think people still need to hear it,
you know.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
So what you consider yourself an Apple beat artists?
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Look at us, we've been how to get into another
industry like reli.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Okay, so you know, at first I started office like
you know, an amphab beat artists. But with the knowledge
that I have now, I just consider myself as a musician,
you know, as an artist.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I make music because like six months ago, I was
on like a like a like alpha funk punk type
of spe like and it worked out perfectly. I did
rap this other day, I did an R and B song,
you know.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
And the project that I'm hoping to release on the
future has like different vibes, you know, from Alpha Beats
to Amia No, you know, mostly African sounds to be honest,
like it's a future of sounds. But so I just
consider my to be an artist now because I could
literally make anything. The bleeding me just proved beauty.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
I can giant mentality, bro, and nothing you can't do.
Speaker 1 (31:08):

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's crazy, It's crazy.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
I don't know how it happened, but the universe always
has its way, you know, to let people know what
is what.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
From the parties, the plugs to us being literally only
to two people at the down flow through to.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
The track needs.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
We're bad that we've been in each other circles.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
For a while now.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
It's it's been mental, bro, it's been mental. I mean
good vibes, you know, good vibes. Like I said, it's
the universe always brings people together, good energy, you know,
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's sure.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
So what are we gonna do now?
Speaker 3 (01:47):

Speaker 5 (01:53):
But if you're going to see you with the ship,
you dropping, but they will know you.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Very but because they don't right now, that's but we'll
go introduce it. So you went totender obviously that that's
what you go by. You didn't go with the day's name.
He just wanted to be your name as is. Tell
us how long have you been doing music?
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Funny story, I started off as like as a manager
for a friend of mine who was actually a rapper,
and then suddenly I fell in love with the arch right,
which is like in twenty twenty fifteen, I think, so
managed sixty Yeah, like I would manage my friend like
you know, I would.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Pay studio sessions, you know, okay to record.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
And stuff like that. And then suddenly I was like
I want to do this. And there was a friend
of mine at school who also made He was like
two streams ahead of me. I think he's like, I
make dope, Like let me make a picture. He made
a beat. We went to the studio. I recorded my
first song. It was called sweat. I think, yeah, sweck flick,
and it came out dope. But then I was still
(02:56):
a rapper at that time. And then uh as sport
I finished Okay, right before I finished act like my
last year of Ice.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I realised the song with a friend of mine who
was called Sick.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
He was a singer, so we were on this appro
vibe and I was like, inter mister Easy, that much
like you know, I don't know, mister Easy just came
at the right moment.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I guess the reason.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I actually started like, you know what, I need to
be this kind of artist or I want to upper
beats and stuff like that. And then we made a
song called Fine Fine. It made the women. It made
the women go crazy, so attracting the women.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I was like, you know what, this might be the
mad ever you.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Exactly bro, Like what did you say? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Is that the guy who did the Bad One with.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
The exactly that's good.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I actually talked to your boy to put his music
like on Apple Music and the banger.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I've been I've been on his neckwork a year and
a half. It's not too about that situation, bro, that
don't aload, but.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Bad One is crazy, that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Goest know how he managed to like even like you
think of putting Darryl on it because the combination of
his voice and the Apple like vibe that brings.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Exactly, Bro, it's you bro, like Zeke alone. You guys
are not reaching the music has been sending me like
in my inbox.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Literally, I'm like.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
What, dude, Like this is some next level stuff, Like
I do not know how to explain it, like you
just you just have to wait for it, Like okay.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So you you're one of the few people who decided
to use their real name as h as uh as
a as an as the artists name. Yeah, because I
understand why I'm asking why your name is the Tender
obviously multiple views for the view who don't know that
it has got quite a popular name in the bubble,
(04:52):
So what made you actually want to just stick to
it and use that as your music name.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
So the thing is, when I started off as a rapper,
I used to go to Slim Tea about but it
wasn't really what I wanted because I was just calling
Slim Jade.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I was like, you know, and I was like, I
need to be original, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
And with this Apha thing, I was like, I need
to be original when I make my first song, like
as like a professional artist, which is generator funny thing
that was on it and Lloyd so so I.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Took it one exactly.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
So I took a week trying to figure out before
the song came out, trying to figure out what should
I call myself? Why should I and people asking me
what's your aka? What's your aka? And it got to
my head so much I was like, you know what,
let me just use my name. Come on, like, nobody
I've never heard of it. Attender Wi is a big artist,
oh and artists. To be honest, at that time, I
didn't I didn't even know if people go by the
name like the Tender all I know.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I was like.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Abutakura or Darryl and stuff like that. Those are the
people that I knew who used the Originally. I was like,
all right, I might just be Tender. Know one day
when people say to turn that, I'll be the first
thing or the first person put the name to turend that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Pops out on Google's right. I'm telling you myself.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
To it to be your picture with Zimbabwe musicians, but
what exhibit exactly.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
So it's just like you know what, I'm going to
talk build one day, so let me just use my
name and people are going to know this name one day.
I'm going to inspire as the kids to just use
their original name. So that's just that's the story.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Okay, well if I'm paid on it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
The main reason I wanted you here outside the flight
that you're an amazing artist definitely, and the fact the
thing is another thing that I like about you as
art is not only your way past the music, right,
you've got the social skills. Another big fact, like if
you remember a past conversation we're talking like the main
issue with the African artists was specifically Zimbabwean artists. Is
(06:51):
they get a little bit of popularity of a song
and people obviously start showing them and then they think
they're now famous and start teaching people like their fans
and all that. What people don't understand. Also, what these
artors don't understand is them people. Yes, there's cancel culture
in America, but that's the social media canceling is this.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
They will forget about you, bro.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So that's also like one of the things that look
like one you you managed to remain consistent.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You haven't changed. You're like when something when people achieve,
and it's like it's like the same person.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Want to We don't even talk about your dancing, Like dude,
I don't talk about it like every pain that even
an audio like there's not like when I wanted to
it's just fu into a remote interview, but.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
That they would have wanted you to stand up being showing.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
People a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
There's that.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
And then also your music goes with different it's just authentic.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I like I like the fact that you're mixing the
short now the English and literally your music and you
are just one person. There's not like us differentiation but
to what I was actually saying, your new single, tell
us about the new thing.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Oh, the new single, bro, even I'm not ready for it.
It's it's I've never been so confident with the song.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I don't want to be too confident about it. I
don't want to chase it anything. But it's like the
funny story is like I recorded the song. Okay, I
made the song in twenty twenty eighteen. I'm serious. It
was eight that's when. That's when I wrote the song.
And then we lost the fires with my friend the
original gun that I made it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
His name was Jaede. Oh, his name is Jed.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
And then the next year I was looking for a
producer who could like recreate it. So I only had
the song in my head and my lyrics. At that time,
I only had the hook. Then I had to go
through six producers twenty nineteen to get the right to
get exactly what I wanted, and thank god, Textas just
(08:52):
came through and we made this banger.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The moment we made it, the moment I laid the
first verse ever, I was like, this is a this
is a hit. This so what this is? You know?
And it got to my head, and I was like,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
I was just gonna play like the short clip like that.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
If you can hear this, literally you only drop my
ticket And I'm.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Still going great, like you dont like a old slipper
off literally full tickets of that video on your media.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That song.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
That song has been in the vote or in the
archives for the longest, and every time when I tell
people the story, it's like, nah, you're lying, it's this.
I'm like, no, literally, I've hit the software. He's two
and a half years now, like, and I didn't know
what to do with it. I didn't know when to
release it. And sometimes there are technicalities that were, you know,
(09:48):
just failing us at some point.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
But I think I think it was just all litening
to this moment. You see, who knew it is supposed
to get the exclusive?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Absolutely, I believe I I believe that. I think it
was delayed. It was not denial.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
It was just delayed, like something is missing on this project,
and that's not to be involved in somewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Bro your name was just all over it, like it
makes sense now.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It makes sense, all right?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So the Times.

Called new Balance, I'm assuming because that's what you put
under the and it's done, Like dude, the drums will
beat and even like you're like.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Fake, and I'm like, yo, it's fight.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I have so much to talk about.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
It's five seconds, bront listen to the entire.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Song five seconds and I'm losing my ship already.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
It's funny how that that kid got so much struction,
Like I don't even expect that. I was just like,
you know what, I'm about to reach the song in
the next two weeks or something. Let me just jump
listen to this.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
What are you paying? Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Yoh?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Those five seconds have literally blown my TMS up, like
with people saying where's the track?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Where's the teck? I can't fight it on Spotify.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
The first people to comment, I was like, you're like,
wait to that lug this. I was like, today, ship, what.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Do you mean?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Bro?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
I ended up calling my producers that day like ten times.
I was like, dude, it takes the song now, Like
I'm like, and I had to consider like you're, you know,
have to do submissions and stuff like that, and then
I was like, okay, now.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Let me just ease it, you know, take tickets. It's coming.
You know, it's like you said, it was just delayed,
but it's coming. And yeah, so what do you okay?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
So obviously the song is a banger. We already know that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know that, I have no doubt that because you know,
we have a lot of songs in the part like
big artists. With the actual song, it was a disappointment,
like I remember easy with kodact Black, Yeah, and when
it was of disappointing likewise, been numerous cases like this,
but I don't know something above me.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Just tell me that's not the case.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yet, Just tell you that's not the case.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
So that's what that we say.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What are you hoping to achieve with with the dropping
of this song?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Well, with the song, trust me, I am definitely looking
forward to collaborating with different artists, especially from them after
like you know, the job hopefully gets to me nonstructured
to you know, get collaborations right.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Mostly there's like there's always a target.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Like in terms of like your collaborations, you hope the
song gets to a certain person so that they can
at least consider you. And you know when you say, yo,
I have a track, you know, let's do something that's work.
Let's work at the business side or whatever we need
to work out, but let's make the you know, let's
make the art.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And also I hope to just like change as a person,
like be better with it.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Poost my confidences to say, like, you know, you know,
when something gets when you're like probably on level one
and you release the track, you hope to get on
level three and then you go to like level five,
like you.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Know, like that you're actually you know, considering the levels.
Like a lot of people just want to jump straight
from one song to boom one point three million reviews.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Or plays and exist. They don't realize that building takes on.
Jacko was in the studio before.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
He put up don't don't get me wrong, Like blowing
up in a day is okay, but like there's there's
something in like that struggle. I'm not saying I want
to struggle, but then there's something in that like leveling
up from two three, you know, like you get to
tell people your experiences, your stories, Like you know what
after this, I did this, there was this crazy thing
(13:53):
that happened, which then suddenly it just happened. Somebody also
headed in their laptop. They're told in it, and then
you know, like those stories.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Your song and that's why you receieved.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It exactly, like you know, you know, like if you
know those kind of stories.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Like you did, just say that what happened with this song?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No? No, no, you know I'm saying. Know what I'm saying,
Like somebody, I've had.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Like a like a situation where I lost the song
in my in my laptop and then like like my
song and then one of my friends just so happens
to have the song and I'm like, how did you
get the song because I never send it to you.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I never send it and he's like a.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Quick flash drive and the exactly, and You're like.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's what you've been doing, bro, Like you no, it
was just that song. I asked you for it so
many times, but you could give it to me, you know.
But I knew, you know, one day.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
It would help, you know, And instead of me being
mad at that moment, I was like so grateful because
now I get to listen to the beat remake it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I get to listen to what I did on the
track and and D make it. So Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Also, I think you know you're a different person. I'm
pretty sure you're a different person than you were in
twenty eighteen. A lot of girls, I'm like, I know
for a fact, I'm not the same person I was
six months ago.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Like you're alone twenty eighty. Well even aging one.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Age you were saying a funny story about this song
is like it's based off a true story, but it's
like a how song.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Let me just give you like a short story. You know,
this is eighteen.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I'd broken up with this girl, and then I had
like three months you know sways, the curls and it's
like three months of four of you know, no introduction.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
With girls and stuff like that. And then I and
I had this one shoe.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
There's one show that was in my like in my
in my shooting, I need I need to put on
it that moment in time that like if I wanted
to go anywhere, I would wear this shoe.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And this shoe was a new balance, like.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, that one that you want to do it, you know,
the only saying when.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
You're exactly So, then there was this was it unplugged,
so unplugged we get there.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That the same I'm planed in the line with the
legs and I think that did You're like two hours ago.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Now that I think about it.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Exactly two hours ago.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Bro, exactly that day right before like when we got
like because I got in with the boys and then
the boys were like, you know what.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We're going to do this, We're going to do this,
We're going to talk to you know today, and.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Then like people had people that were expecting, you know,
and I wasn't expecting anyone personally to say, I'm going
to you know, answer with this one.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I'm going to see this person and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I just went with the.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Boys, but the boys had another idea. I was like, okay, gee.
So it was just as hours in the park that
I saw this girl and she had a better like
a white Benzo bro like and likeion, I was like
ship like a ben like a Benzo, Like.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Okay, me, I'm not gonna lee to you. My head
wasn't the gutter. So when you're saying white benzol, I
was thinking something else. So I'm glad you can find
that you made the vehicle ladies in Germany talking about
an actual vehicle, automobile and white in color.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
It was wearing a white thundard. Okay.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
So the thing is I got to that car and
I started looking at it, you know, I just marrying it.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But then I didn't want to look like I'm you know, you.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Know, you know those guys. One of those guys is
just go in front of a so probably I'm probably
trying to steal some ship. I was like, okay, let
me move, let me step back. As soon as I
stepped back, I pumped into this girl and then that
was a car and the name was that I and
I was like, oh sorry, and it's like, oh, my
(17:58):
name is that. I was like, okay, I didn't ask
you if your name is anything.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't ask you know what I mean. And then
I was going I was moving away.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Then she's like I was like what oh.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
I was like, my good man, your bother be another
episode I'm going a blank another YouTube episode of a blank.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
On.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So she's like yeah, I'm like, okay, g We kind
of had a conversation, you know, just a little bit,
and she's like, I know you from athletics whatnot.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
But I was like, okay, cool, that's okay. Then I moved.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Back, you know, started dancing whatnot. But not as I
was going. It just so happened. I also bumped into
her as I was going and she gave me a number,
you know, and that you know, this girl is just
like the most polite person I've ever seen, the kind
of person I've ever seen. From that day, she would
she would always ask me, what's up? What do you
(19:05):
want to do? Because this is the time where I
always trying to figure out where whether I'm going to university,
I'm going to music, or what am I going to
do with my life in general? And she was very
supportive of like whatever I was doing. And then you know,
that's why I wrote the song, you know, just dip
in that.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You know, let's just leave you that the song is
based on the girl you meant exactly, and I'm just
that I'm somewhere within that story.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Like that's what I'm.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Bro Like if if if, if you remember that day
we were dancing. We were dancing, so.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Remember to take up shows went and then we just
stay with like nothing but.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Like there was no tomorrow, Like it was just perfect.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
I don't know, like it all makes sense now, Like
the universe just has a way of bringing things together.
That's where the story starts, that's where the story needs
to continue from.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Yeah, that's actually crazy so.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
He's doing contact with this girl.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I mean, that's a story for another day.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I don't get into it.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I got about giant podcast is stopping.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
I have your that one too.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
So bro, bro, bro that one too. You know how
it is, you know what it is, you know it is?
You know so obviously there's.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Been meaning to this, and too many things are clicking
and it's just I don't know. I'm having a good
feeling about it. I've only listened to five seconds, So
let's get to the real thing. The chatroom got the
exclusive straight from Tender himself.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
You know it is your balance is dropping this weekend?
Why why are you looking nervous now?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
But you're all confident now we put a data on it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know, it's you know, when it's start popping in
my head, you know, but you know we're good, be good.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
It makes it really exactly what exactly?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Yeah, I mean you might have all this confidence, it's
not like at the end of the day, I'm human
and yeah, things that you you know like you kind
of feel like, but then never doubt yourself.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Of course there's that mentality.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Bro. I'm fortunately now you're gonna see it's gonna get
popular about damatality. Basically, what it is is there's nothing
you can't do, bro exactly, ask yourself this, has.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
There ever been a dog that you went you did
receive plenty bro cool now and there's nothing you can't do.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Something you can't do, you can't do it yet, but
you can do it. And that's a mentality.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
The funny thing is, like you know, when you're having
discus the conversation with like sports and then you say
that in sports genuinely you just used.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
To tell yourself that I'm the fist, and.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Then you tell somebody you and then psychologically somebody like
tell yourself I am the pist.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Suddenly you know, like not suddenly, but it comes out
like you know that feeling just to.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Many face, you know exactly affirmations you're affirming.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
And the reason why, the reason why I've come to
realize and why I'm trying to push it now is
a lot of people are now, well this is high
if you know what I'm saying, So people on my feet.
There's a same line between trying to they find that
people I'm now mistaken being cocky and then you're trying
(22:27):
to firm yourself like some people actually need that verbal
affirmation and actually get about the day.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Like they're confusing pride and confidence or being cokey like
what you say it like, you know, I'm just being
confident with myself. I needed to post myself as a
human peed to get myself to the next level. It's
not that I'm paying you know, somebody who's got pride
or exactly feeling myself, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah, And you also just have to have, you know,
confidence in your abilities. And if I'm not, if I'm
you know, with that New Batteran song, you are that guy.
So what there's definlutely nothing wrong. Would you tell yourself
right now? No bullshit.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
If we're talking outside rap outside REP, if.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
We're talking artists right outside REP, it's you, and for
me it's you and Daryl up it it's you and
it's up. If we're talking outside REP, and if we're
talking as in ZIM as a whole.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
My top five is very very slim, and I'm not
gonna say it's my top five, but just honorable mention.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
So actually leave ray Cats.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That boy's lyrics are nasty, That boy's witch is disgusting.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Like the ship even thinks about it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Sometimes you say something that post like I say, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Wait, oh, you know then you are few when talk
about few fields, this vibe is just different.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Phusic Fuse is probably one of my best rapper It's
not even just one of my favorite rabbits, not even.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Liking them like in general, like in general.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, he talks about the ship that I can actually realize,
like when he's like if you I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
One of his favorite songs, one of my favorite songs
by a few he has gone too Soon.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Oh, and you can relate to that, like you know,
you think before like before you even listened to the song,
I cannot fully it gives you so many like a
perspective of different like what goes too soon? You know,
not just allocating it to the person, but then so
many things go to see like you like you know, like.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You should appreciate.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
There's so much like artists is just like that's also
like that's not what I'm talking about. Like your song
You're You're you better, your whole background of it, there's
a whole story.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
There's a whole story.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
There's no in the condle.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
What condo and even condos and.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Like what I'm even talking about and what visions like, Bro,
I've seen about yours against the more.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
With a couple of what visions like you know, I
don't like that, which is something that as something like
I'm approaching.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You, Darryl Ray as few King Pharaoh.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I'm like, King.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Pharaoh is come if yea king is coming up and
ya sayune like that, pray the prayer one bro, And
he did without cussing, not a single swear.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Like how did this rappers the pen game?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
How guys if Pharaoh, if if you're watching this, if
you're listening to this, bro, please come school me.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Just come come school me. Bro.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Okay, but you see that's even what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Even you as an artist, we I went we went
into a tangent, but other artists and not a single
hate or a single you know you know that the.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Other artists and start talking.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
About other artists and just like He's right, Yeah, that's
like what I'm talking is one something I'm starting to
even appreciate more and more and with like what said.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Support most of these other people. It's the core, yeah,
like it's the call. And we as fans and listeners.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
We hear that.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
We can tell that you're bullshitting in your music exactly.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Like I think people need to appreciate each other more,
even especially the zim artists industry. I feel like they
don't have enough support for each other. I think people
should show more love rather than a beat, the upcoming,
the old cats, whoever it is. You know, like love
helps you grow, it just builds everything. So the moment
you see somebody doing the bests or great and there's music,
(26:35):
there's freestyles or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You know, it doesn't hurt to be posts. It doesn't hurt.
Like I mean, let them be the men of the moment,
allow them men to be. Bro. Like Pharaoh is topping
that feast out right now, Bro, Like.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
That thing goes nasty. Don't know that the thing is nasty?
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Bro, Bro, people stopping you missed see your diet eye No?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, okay, so obviously right out of time, and we
don't also want to also do want to like make
the podcast too long?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
You know, someone looks at poges No. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
So with that being said, out clothing remarks, closing remarks
that you have to tell the people and also what
you have to thank you know who's what you're like,
you're motivated like people you have to thank to be
grateful for.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Shout out and just your clothing remarks.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Well, I'm really appreciative of like the whole Roman rap society,
like this is like a bunch of artists, producers, beat makers,
pH geographers, everyone as a whole, like the rights of
Alloid Boid Chicky.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Texas the one who make the beat.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Like those guys have just been inspirational in my life,
like they pushed me to the next level. They always
tell me, not the song doesn't sound right. Nah, Jesus, bro,
I know you, you know, but you you're like too
much into your head right now, try this strategy or
you know. And obviously my boy Mitch yo, I don't
I don't know, I don't know where to start when
it comes to Mitch, Like it's been there for me
(28:10):
since the day I met him, right so now he's
forever there, like from the videos as a person in general,
just helping me out, you know, being better, you know,
Daryl shout out to the boy, you know, Daryl nots
ma Bro, Darryl nots Like, I don't even know what
to say when it comes to that. It's just love,
(28:30):
all love, you know. And definitely my sister, you know,
my big sister is always very supportive of what I do.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
She you know, she pushes me to go to the
next level. She'll be like, you know, just try it,
try it out. You know. If it's not going to work, we'll.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
See when it doesn't work, but for now, just try it,
you know, see who you know, take your limits, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And she's also helping funds sometimes, you know, because sometimes
you know.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Again, man, such a pleasure to have you on on
the chat Troo.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
What you haven't so and if your IF songs that
came out in twenty eighteen. I'm only bangings not but hey,
you know this happens all the time. Fucking split games
was made ten years ago and it's only popping up now.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Bro. Bro, these things, they just have a funny way
of happening, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
But most of my music was made around twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, even the ones that I'm gonna release and future,
you know, the ones that are been making now. Yes,
the good vibe maybe it's like you know, but I've
kept with this sound for the longest.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I just still I think people still need to hear it,
you know.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
So what you consider yourself an Apple beat artists?
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Look at us, we've been how to get into another
industry like reli.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Okay, so you know, at first I started office like
you know, an amphab beat artists. But with the knowledge
that I have now, I just consider myself as a musician,
you know, as an artist.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I make music because like six months ago, I was
on like a like a like alpha funk punk type
of spe like and it worked out perfectly. I did
rap this other day, I did an R and B song,
you know.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
And the project that I'm hoping to release on the
future has like different vibes, you know, from Alpha Beats
to Amia No, you know, mostly African sounds to be honest,
like it's a future of sounds. But so I just
consider my to be an artist now because I could
literally make anything. The bleeding me just proved beauty.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
I can giant mentality, bro, and nothing you can't do.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
