shout out to the Mayor Monroe Nichols and Tulsa. Now
he has shared a plan for one hundred million dollar
trust for the descendants of the Tulsa race master in
nineteen twenty one. Now, if you don't know about that,
in nineteen twenty one, it was a prominent black business

(04:59):
distric and the neighborhood was burned to a ground by
white mob and Tulsa, Oklahoma because allegedly they claimed that
a nineteen year old black male had an assault to
the seventeen year old white female. Three hundred black people
were killed in the attack, ten thousand people displaced. Well,
he said, descendants will receive housing, assistants and scholarships through
the trust. They're not going to give them money directly,

(05:22):
but this trust they would be able to sort if
your son wanted to go to college and he was descendant,
Boom college paid for. You need a crib, you need
land built, Boom.

that thought like that. But I'm like, hey, it's your money,
you do won't you with it? You know what I'm saying.
I can't tell nobody how to spend their money. And
you want to go out here and blow your money
on the lock instead of buying you some property on

they are gonna draft Cooper Flag.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Okay, they not, they not. They need that youth. They're
not getting ready to trade that number.

Speaker 2 (08:29):

pick and got more picks, they could build.

of death and you know what I'm saying, you need
that stud, You needed that wonder and then Kyrie might
not be back next year because of his injury. He
gonna be recovering.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
The only way you don't trade, The only way you
traded is if you think Cooper Flag ain't that MM

the one?

(10:28):
stand and she name dropped R. Kelly random and I'll
tell you how it kind of went. They were saying
that in her past text messages in twenty nineteen that
she had with Diddy, she text him she said, I
wrote I had a nightmare and I was being chased
by R. Kelly and you saved me. Then Brian Still
came back said the person who you saved you? And

(10:50):
then you know, the judge was like, rephrase and then
he was like what did you write? And then she said,
sending you all the love in the world and then
she went on one. In another text, she talked about
how she ran away from Mick Jagger and he tried
to take her home with him back in the day,
and other exchanges that alluded to Leonardo kannap Cataprio, Jennifer

that doesn't they can't take the dreams literal.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, it's her dream. It is amazing the dream to defend.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
But they always try to say that your dreams are
connected to something that's going on in your life or
trauma or something which forces your brain to do that.
But that's not literally. Yeah, that's crazy. It's not literal.
If Cally was chasing me and you saved, it's crazy,

So even if convicted, if either if found I'm guilty,
they're saying that they will not pursue the death penalty

(23:04):
at all.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Okay, I think that is a bright spot. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
I think that's a bright spot, you know, and from
what we've been hearing, you know what I'm saying that
it may be a way that he will see, you know,
see the free work at the end of the time
might be you know what I'm saying. So we'll definitely
keep you updated with that. Also, Man, Mariah.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Carey tease some new music. Leon. I know you when.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
You hate when I think Okay, correct me if I'm wrong,
but I think that you hate when classic people are
classic movies or go and try to uthanize themselves and
they end upthanizing themselves and they trying to tie that
Mariah care track, be cracking riot, come out and try

(24:02):
to be in these role like says and all these
it's gonna sound terrible.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Just no, Yeah, she gotta state of that. She gotta
do her.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
If she do hers, like I said, older artists that
come out and try to euthanize themselves end up euthanizing themselves.
If you get my dra Okay, come out trying to
be young instead of being who you are, and then
it just dies right then, then it's just over exactly.

How you're doing this morning? How you doing?

Speaker 5 (25:44):
Brother?

Speaker 6 (25:45):
I'm blessed man to the city. Man, absolutely, thank you man.
Beautiful city always. I love Chicago.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
What brings you to the city? Videos?

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Oh man, this is the first stop of the tour,
my brother Friday. We're going on tour. Some days I'm good,
some days I'm not.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
The World tour. Yes, first stop is today at the
Chicago Theater. So we R and B vibes. Now you
your your humble beginnings. I think you were on the Voice. Yeah,
the Voice? What was that like? Oh man? Wow?

Speaker 6 (26:13):
It was definitely one of those things that got me
ready for the industry and for the world of performing
under the big lights. And I think that it also
taught me how to maneuver amongst a lot of chaos.
Like it's on the Voice, it's kind of like it's
a lot of uh, you know, hit and run. Like
everything is like back to back. I met some amazing people.

(26:35):
The Voice actually opened me up to different genres of music,
because you know, R and B was always my thing
for me.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
It was always R and B and hip hop. You know,
maybe country here and that.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
But it's like it's so many genres of music and
different creatives that I met, folk music, different people.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's crazy, and all these people are very very talented.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
So it actually brought my palate when it came to
like what types of music to listen to and be
inspired to as well.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
All right, what happened to the And I'm gonna ask
this the R and B question, R and B artist,
is what happened to the the R and B group?
You know, what do you think happened to the R
and B group? And second part of that question is
how do you feel about the state of R and
B today? I think ego happened to the R and
B group.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
I think nobody, you know, back in the day you
look at the you know, groups like the Temptations and uh,
you know other groups. You know, I think that everybody
had a good sense of who was the leader of
the group, right, even if he wasn't the lead singer.
Everybody had everybody had if you had an oldest, oldest
was the one that kept kept everything to go, everything going.

(27:42):
Everybody had a Cisco, everybody had a Cisco. Everybody tried
to be the lead singer.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Everybody. Ego got in the way.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
I mean, I think that's what really killed R and
B groups. I don't think it was anything. I think
it was that single handedly because everybody wanted to be
in the forefront. You know, I think the state of
R and B is good right now. I think that
I think it's changed for the better. It's it's I'm
glad it's being talked about now, right because everybody was
saying that R and B is dead, But I feel
like nobody was really searching for R and B.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
You know, everybody wanted to. I want to feel like
the nineties.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
It's not the nineties no more, right, you know it's
not you know, and if you give R and B
a chance to evolve like you did hip hop, you
will see the beauty in the R and B that
we released today.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
That's real. Yeah, give a chance to evolve Like that statement,
I've never heard anybody say that. Songwriting man, how tough
is it to be in the room with somebody like
an usher, somebody like a Chris Brown you see travels
across the globe and ever when you write for them,
do you right kind of like immersing.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yourself in who they are?

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Or do you just sit back and you let your
pen work and they got to make that If they
make that work with their style, that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Or do you try to write for them. No, I think,
and this is any songwriter do not.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
I personally feel that you don't want to go in
trying to make a song that sounds like an Usher
song or Chris Brown song. Your goal is to make
a great song in regardless if Usher or Chris Brown
take it, the song will find a home. And I
you know, in my early in my early stages of writing, yes,
I was like, let me go in here, let me
do the ad libs that I heard them doing some

(29:19):
other songs.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
But you tend to overshoot when you try to aim
right at the target.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
You kind of just gotta, like, you know, write a
song that's broad and the horizon, Like you really got
to write a song that's good. And if it's a
really good song, and it might not be their style,
they're gonna be like, you know what, I still want
to cut this song.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Let me make it mine, you know so.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
Exactly, So I think your goal should just be to
create a good song, man, create a good song that
they be your focal point.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
All right, we're gonna take a quick break with video. Man,
stay right here, don't move, don't forget. Some days I'm good,
some days I'm not. Chicago Theater Tonight.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Something in the water festival. Obviously that said it in

Speaker 1 (31:37):
He's like, you ready, you got it? Are you take
the hog note?

Speaker 6 (31:39):

of those things it's like if you stay ready, you
ain't got to get ready. You know how cocky it is.

Speaker 1 (31:53):

I don't released nine independent albums.

This this new album.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
I can tell that because the name the name is
called he Pity Me, right, and it's an R and
B album that he Pitied Me meaning the standard, the
highest form of what R and B should be and
what it is, what it should sound like. So this
album signifies like, Okay, this is where R and B
is and it's also where RMB is going as well.
You know, let's get the look, let's start talking about

(32:58):
love again, you know, let's fall back in love, like
to teach people that love is still cool. It's still
cool to love somebody, right, I think we got away
from the love aspect of R and B. The two
singles going Crazy right now is the record I got
called super Fine. It's going stupid like it's literally streaming
crazy right now, thank god. Then we have another one
called Invited featuring my brother Kenyon Dixon, and that's going.
