All right, we back at it, Chuck Dizzele live in

Real ninety two three or any iHeart stations, we got
a treat for y'all. Man, this dude don't pop out
for just anybody. So I'm honored that he you know,
he's a unicorn, man, but he does what he does.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And he does it to the best visibility.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
He's saying him. Listen to hip hop like that. He
on some old school and you can hear from the music.
He just dropped this project Once upon a time.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Jay Worthy is here, man. What's up y'all? Yo? Man,
the unicorn is in the view. I'm here. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I appreciate you for taking your time first and foremost.
I know you and you and roll out mode and
you got a lot of things happening, man, and just
to even stop here and have this conversation, and it
means the world.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Bro oh man, come on, man, I had to stop
in this my first interview at ninety two point three.
I got a lot of respect for you in your platform.
We're here to do it. Up, man. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So Jay Worthy, Man, let's talk about the beginning man,
the roots from Jay Worthy. I feel like you're one
of the most interesting individuals in this space. Whenever your
name comes up, there's a lot of respect first and foremost, right.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But you know, I want to hear the story of
Jay Worthy, man.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I want to talk about the Compton roots, the you know, Canada,
everything from Jay Worthy and how we are to get
to this point. And I really want to know why
you don't rock or listen to hip hop like that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You more into the old school stuff too.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, you know, and I touch on that, like I
It's just I'm an old soul, you know what I mean.
Like I just I was raised on records, like you know,
old records from my pops had had a good amount
of vinyl. He had a nice collection. And you know,
I was just raised on the earth Winding Fire records,
the Stylistic records, the del Phonics, Miles Davis, you know.
(01:56):
So I just I don't know. It was probably when
my mama had me in the womb, you know what
I'm saying. It just it's in me, you feel me,
so you know, And and it's just as far as
like where my musical journey started, you know what I'm saying.
You know, really, when I got with Sean House and
we started and we formed London Drugs, and you know,
I just I just wanted to rap over the the
(02:19):
oldies that I listened to, you know, that was always
fly to me and always sounded good. And I think
at the time out here, at least in la I
really wasn't being done. I don't know if it was
just being done period. To be honest with you, I
didn't know anybody that was doing it at the time.
So I got hip that other people were making music
like that, because you know what I'm saying, other rappers
(02:41):
would reach out and be like, I fuck with what
you're doing, you know what I mean. So I don't
know if I'm allowed to custom here. Nighttime radio are
so uh. You know. I always feel like New York
kind of embraced me early on, and before they did,
you know, early beginnings was Yams, you know what I'm saying.
(03:04):
Yams was the first one to really get behind me
and push and then Dja track of Fools Gold Records,
which was a boutique label out of Brooklyn, and then
you gotta think Alchemists was the next, okay, and then
from Alchemist I got put in Griselda. You know what
I'm saying, because we always I was working on my
(03:25):
album with Alchemists in twenty sixteen. So really, when you
think about when I entered the game, I entered like
into twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. They always say it take
ten years to make it, so it's like here we
are now. And I've been known to always do these
collaborative projects with you know, different producers, and you know,
(03:46):
now I give somebody. I'm giving y' all like a
real studio album, you know what I'm saying something that's
I'm used to just making bodies of work that have
a unique sound and a concept. This is like my
first studio album, so it's crazy to say that this
is my day solo, you know. And I had to
give y'all two discs because I've been working on this
ship for a long time.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It's not disrespectful in a sense, but it's like when
you say, oh, this is his debut, I was like.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Nah, you've been doing this for a wow.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So when people hear that they think, oh it was
his first I was like, nah, he's been here for
a while.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
But EPs and collaborate like me and Alchemist, me and
Larry June, me and Currency, me and Cardo, Me and
Harry Fraud, me and DJ Muggs, And it ain't never
been you know what I'm saying. And that's also something
I want to touch down on. It's like a lot
of people are like, well, man, it's stacked with features,
you know what I'm saying. But if you know, you know,
(04:40):
I've been doing my thing as an A and R
as well, you know, an R troop of cabra for
DJ Quick and Jason Martin. I've been doing you know,
A and R work for a lot of big artists
on the side, you know, YG Terrace Martin. And it
only is right that if I'm wearing the A and
R hat that wouldn't the features be crazy as they
(05:00):
are on this sense, you know what I'm saying. So
I just wanted to, you know, show that side of
it too, because this is all organic, you know, like
I'm doing this one hundred percent independent, you know, shout
out the empire of course, you know, my distributor, but
as far as how I move, everything is organic. You know,
everything is done based on love and love for the
music and respect for one another. You know, like so
(05:23):
if people not knowing how this is done, this is
done out of respect and love and that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So talk about the relationships that you've been able to
kind of just manage throughout the years, Like you said,
so many people that you've collaborated with, and obviously people
are showing up for your debut project, but it speaks
to the type of person that you are as well
and why people will show up with so much respect.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And give you that you know, right right energy, right right,
because like you know, people are dumb these days, Like
they don't they don't know how this shit really works.
You know, they'll be like, oh, did you buy these features?
Did you buy these meats? I'm like what, like hell, no,
like what this is? This is all for the love
of the game. But I think people just recognize that
I'm a genuine dude. A lot of people knew who
(06:09):
know me from just being around. They know me either
from the streets or they might know me for being
in these studio rooms, and they respect my ear, they
respect my taste and it's not like everybody on this
album I've known for years, you know what I'm saying,
Like this all had relationships with these people for years,
(06:31):
so it's not like none of this shit is just new.
You feel me So like I said, man, it's been
ten years in the making. But really these relationships, I
know some of these people for twenty years, you know
what I'm saying. So that's where it comes from.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's so funny, man, because at the listening party, oh.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
My god, you.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Bro the diverse crowd members.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I was just like, yo, skateboard.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It was it was like you saw, you saw Fairfax,
you saw you saw all different walks of life, right,
the representation of me, and that that's what I was
gonna get to man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It's a representation of who you are. And it's like the.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Being comfortable, like being in that space and people showing
up and showing love to you. No issues, no nothing,
no just people all there to like really show up
for you. But I was I was tripping out because
when you press play that ninety six big body, right,
I mean, but to think about you know that that
(07:31):
pocket big sight, like that is like it's a it's
a statement piece. First First of all, you got Rick
Ross opening right.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So that's like if anybody want to know what's up. Man,
I got a documentary coming out Free Way. Rick narrated
my album. He did the intro. But Rick know me,
like you know, like I know the back of my hand.
So you know, me and Rick knowing each other. We
when Rick got out of prison, me and him started together,
you know, like broke, hustling clothing and hair, just trying
(08:01):
to go legit and do yeah, you know what I mean.
So yeah, that that that intro is h.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's a special woe man. You can tell it wasn't
something that was just oh, let me just record a
drop of homie.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
He came over to my house and did it, and
I got emotional. I had to get out of the
out of the room while he was doing it because
I was like, damn man, he really like damn bro
like we really go back. Man. He used to come
pick me up at Big Face House like people don't
know that. Like I used to live on black Wall
Street on Brazilian Wilmington. Like the history. I got stories
(08:34):
in real history, man. I got real history in New
York too, Like you know, I lived uptown. I didn't. Yeah, man,
I didn't been around and I didn't and before the
music shit is even crazier. I can't even get into
a lot of it, you know what I mean. But
I'm here now and that's what we on this on
this album.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Talking about those experiences.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Man, how do you kind of dictate like, Okay, I'm
comfortable enough to share these experiences, but you know certain
things can't make project.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But at the same time being able to tell your story.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm a pretty open book when it comes down to
talking about what I'm talking about my life on music.
So you're gonna get it all on there. Yeah. I
might just not want to go on certain podcasts these
days that look like Jerry Springer. You know what I'm saying,
I just stay away from that. That's why I came
on here because I respect the platform. I know it's
(09:24):
about music. I know I know what we're on, you
know what I'm saying, And I know the people that
tuned in are real fans and real listeners. You know what.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Another thing, man, I'm a huge Quick fan. The year
for the homies man, that Quick scroove. I'm just like,
for those that don't know, that's that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
One of the best grooves. Oh my god, that's literally
my favorite one. Yeah, that's the one Roger like, oh my,
and you know me and Quick are close. That's my brother,
you know what I'm saying. So I'm at Quick's house
all the time, and you know, he told me about
that record. He said I was an emotional record for
him because that was when Roger had passed. And you know,
Roger taught him how to you know, the vote corder
(10:02):
yet the top box. So that's Quick singing that. You
know what I'm saying, that's Quick singing all that. So yeah,
I really love that record, and you know he let
me have it. You know, people don't know, like this
next year about to be so crazy because we're talking
about this album and that's what we're pushing. But you know,
me and DJ Quick dropping the Jay Worthy wrapping on
all the Quick groups. Yeah, and me and George Clinton
(10:27):
album that we didn't gether? Can we in Conductor? You
know what I'm saying, stop it? And he is already done,
like you know what, these are already all done. And
I won't even tell you there's gonna be a guest
rapper on the DJ Quick one. But I ain't gonna
let y'all know too much?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Can I can? I just let me? Can I try
to guess right to gain?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't want you to do that. Man.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna ask you a question and
you just give me that yes or no? Is it
somebody that normally collaborates with Quick?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
No? Okay? All right, yeah, you know I'm gonna come different.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Last part, last part of that question. Isn't somebody that's
from out here?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No? All right, all right? The show?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well, I mean that speaks to the type of individual
that you are again garnering all these relationships and somebody
like Quick that who is not he don't just be
giving his beats away, Like that's not something he's comfortable
with doing it. And this is from somebody that is
a fan that doesn't really know Quick like that, but
just as a fan of somebody that listens to his music,
(11:30):
it's like, yeah, that's not something he usually.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Signed off on.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Listen. I went over to his house because he built
an amazing studio inside of his home, right, it's amazing,
And you know he I come up there and he's like,
all right, you know, little Dave in there. You know,
get busy. Yeah, get busy. And I'm like he's like,
I'm like, all right, but you're DJ quick. What do
(11:54):
you mean where the beats at? He's like, I ain't
been making beats right now, you know what I'm saying.
I'm like, well, well, what am I gonna do? No?
I said, well, I didn't come up here with beats.
So I said, you know what I this is something
that I've always wanted to do, is wrap over the
quick scroove. So he's like, that's what you want to do.
I'm like, duh, like yeah, yeah. So I went in
there and then he liked it, man, and then you know,
(12:16):
so we've been pushing on that. But wait, so was
the for the Home Home is on that? And I said,
let me get that just like certain like you know,
our relationships. So many people like that Conductor song with
me and Grido that was for me and Conductor album.
But I had a falling out with a certain producer that,
if you notice, was on the first track listing, and
(12:36):
you know, just somebody that was ungrateful. I was basically
putting them on and uh, you know, I don't even
want to give him too much time. But anyways, we
made some fourth quarter changes that were Now I was
able to add Harry Fraud to the album. DJ Muggs Conductor,
DJ Fresh, Which how does Jay Worthy put out a solo,
his debut solo, and not have those legends that I
(12:57):
have so much music with you? You know what I'm saying.
But yeah, the conductor record, man, conductor, let me have
that one for the album, which was cool. Quick, let
me take one off of the project as well.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Before before I just let it fly. I'm gonna just
list off the features on the on the project just
so people can have an idea of these relationships.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
That just this is just just one.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean I could go with this too, because you
all let them know after all.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Right, So we got we got of course Freeway, Ricky
Ross right, got Kamile, which I love that one, you
know what I mean? We want to come in of course,
car Carlo got Wings, DJ Quick. What we just said, Man,
Reckless is my ship.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
By the way, you know how old that record is?
Twelve thirteen years old, swear to God.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Okay, So before I get to the rest, how is
introducing something like that for this project? You know a
lot of people are like, man, I got I got
music out of that's shell for later on.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I don't how do you decide like what you want
to use.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I just know good records. I just know what's timeless,
and I just know what needs to be on there.
And if you know, like I said, I took my
time with this, So why hadn't it been released earlier? Well,
that one was supposed to be Originally when we were
making Active, that was like and then we just kept
making songs and then Sean was like, nah, it's gotta stop.
But we're never gonna hand in the album. So that
(14:14):
one just sat there and we're always like, we're gonna
put that on the second Active album. But you know,
me and Sean we never made like we've only made
one real album. It's Lendon Drugs and that's Active Affiliated
was compilations that burnouts were EPs, so like that was
supposed to be on the next Active, but I said, nah,
(14:34):
let me get this for the debut solo. And if
you if you really look at the the album, you
know I got between this one and this too. I
think Sean did nine of the beats, you know, and
that's just shows like that's that's like, that's you know,
it's like Guru and prem or like you know, Dre
and Snoop. It's like you got to stick with who
you started with. Who Me and him got a certain
(14:56):
chemistry and that you don't get anybody, Nah, for sure, not.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I can't. I can't stop right now?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Man? Is that? Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Levin Kelly Lavin Collie?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Yeah? Am you know that? Man?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And that one kind of saying and correct me if
I'm wrong. That sounds like more of like a for
real type.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Thing like that. That's why he played it for me
and I was like, I was like I could get this,
and he's like, yeah, you can have that. I was like, bet,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
So you know, Lavin is incredible, you know, like he
he wrote and produced Beyonce's last two albums. You know
what I'm saying. Like he's an incredible songwriter, incredible producer.
His father was an old school bass player from a
funk band called Mother's Finance who I actually surprised George
with him at the session. I had them come to
(15:46):
Tallahassee to George's house and when he saw him, he said,
you look like a wizard from Mother's Finance. And He's like,
I am captured all that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm assuming you got a documentary.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, I got a docu. I got a document Joe,
we got like a whole week together.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah you know, okay, let me get through the damn
track list like I got okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So, uh of course E forty whiskally.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
For Jim Jones. Of course you got Gary Fraud. Oh
three greeto, we said conductor. Yea, Idris Idris an amazing artist. Yeah,
a lot of these. Okay, that's eclectic that right there.
No rappers don't get it. Idris beat he directed the video.
We just dropped the video today. Idris is crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You know. I just got his own shoe and new balance. Like,
Idres is just moving different out here. If y'all ain't
really hip to bro in the rap world, Me and
Idris have an album also completely done too. Okaya Jay,
how do you they said, there's two of me?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man, how are you able to stay focused with all
of these projects that you're kind of working on, like
talk about the that side of it?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And I don't know if that's the ain't r in you,
if that's you know, the people person in you, But
how are you able to kind of kart what's the
word carent cart compartmentalize these projects and say, Okay, I
can work on multiple ones or do you have to
lock in with one to finish all the way through it?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
How do you have what's the process?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, you know, we just get like it just happens.
But I work fast, you know what I'm saying. So,
like when me and I just locked in, like all right,
first time we link, we're gonna do like three or
four songs, and then the next time we link it's
gonna be like maybe two or three and then boom.
But by the time we didn't already had five sessions,
we're gonna have like fifteen songs. So we're gonna narrow
(17:38):
it down and then fine tune it. But it just like,
I don't plan none of this out. It's just kind
of how life happens. You know. I just you know,
I forgot it. What's that Captain Morgan is the most
interesting man in the world.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, gotta change that, man, cause I feel
like that's That's one of those things that you're listen
off the features as you listen off not only the
relationships in these sores that you have with people, I'm
sure that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
People would ask how or why.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Like how does it like?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
What is it about?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I just say, I just say, like, look, man, if
you solid is solid, you feel me genuine is genuine,
Like I don't know. I've always been a good judge
of character, you know, with people and just how to move.
And I don't know. So I guess you know, either
people must have taken a liking to me because it's
a whole lot of favors on that album, or people
(18:28):
just you know, but not favors that they just want
to because I think they just seen me go through
a lot in life. And if you know me personally
and know the up and down battles I've been through
and just period just being and just be always being there.
And you know, I'm somebody that phone number never changed.
I always been there. I'm always there for my homies.
I ain't never gone nowhere. Like you know what I'm saying.
(18:51):
I'm not trying to self proclaim nothing, but I'm just
I am who I am, and I guess you know
who rock with me? Rock with me? Man, That's it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I mean again, you can see it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And by the way, we only on this one, Okay,
I'm still not done on the feature. Shout out to Randa,
who I just met today.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I saw at the listening party. She had a whole
escort come that they.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Came then from from what she's She's from New Zealand, Zealand.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He was fresh.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
She was fresh from the plane though, Yes, fresh off
the plane. One of the most amazing records on the album.
It's actually comes off of her album that she just dropped,
and she let me have that from mine and I
put my twist on it. And you know, she produces
all her own stuff too, and she has her team,
but an incredible, amazing artist all around.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Let me let me can I try to finish it off?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Fordy James, all right, Larry June, hit Boy, Alchemist of course,
Westside Gun, Davees ab So. And I think that I
mentioned Sign, which I've never heard. I don't think I've
ever heard Tie like that. Yeah, he sounded like loud,
damn near.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I was going to say, I don't want like that.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm not shitting on him by any means, but and
Ty has a certain soul about him. Yeah, but I've
never heard that type of soul come from Ty Dolla.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Sign you want to know a story about that record. So,
like we was like partying one night and we all
end up back at like Ty's compound and we're the
gang of people. But that he played that record and
it came on and I was like, I always remember that.
So then when we're working on this, you know, I
was like, hey, what you doing with that record? And
(20:30):
he's like, you want that one. I'm like, yeah, I
can get that. So he gave me that one, and
I thought he produced it, because you know, Ty produces
and he's an amazing producer. So we find out that
hip Boy actually made that beat, and hit Boy like, well,
I'm actually using that to come out on something of
his new but he let me get it first, and
he said, guess what, we make our own rules. These days,
(20:52):
it don't matter, Like what does it matter if Jay
Worthy wrapped on the hit Boy beat and then he
wraps on it with two other people or whatever he's
doing with it. You know what I'm saying. I think
it just makes it more interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
At the end of the day, like you said, there's
no rules, no rules.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Things are changing, so it allows you to maneuver in
a way where it's organic it's fresh, and it kind
of leaves the relationships open to say.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Man, I love man, yo, yo, let's go ahead at it.
It still benefits me nonetheless, Yeah, man, So you know,
like that that to me was dope. Disc one has
been incredible, just to see the reaction to people tapping
in and you know, listening to the body of work
and I'm excited about this too, you know. So yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Futures and you've talked about it, man, George Clinton, Bro, George, Man, how.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Does this relationship start?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Like of course fans, but like how do you end
up in the studio with them and hanging out with George?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So George like started following me like way back when
we dropped Active so like ten years ago in yeah,
but he like didn't really like to hap all the
way in. And then when I dropped two p's in
a pod, he tapped in and was like this is different,
and he's like He's like, I gotta get with you.
So he invited me out to his show and then
(22:12):
you know, we linked and we got along grade and
then George though right like I'm tripping, like you know
what I'm saying, Like that's like hanging out with Michael
Jackson or Stevie Wonder like, come on, it's George Clinton,
like we're kicking it and just getting along way with music.
And then Quick walks into the room, okay, and he
George is like, you gotta you gotta get with bro,
(22:33):
you know what I'm saying, and Quick like, I don't
stop the floodgates when George say that. So that's what
put me on, which led me. Then I saw then
Quick invited me back to his show, which was all
at the Novo, and then I seen, you know, prob
Jason and came to Jason was like, yo, man, I
want to do A and R and Man like let
me let me do that, you know, and he talked
(22:54):
to Q about it, and then you know what I'm saying,
And that's how that all came about.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Man, So yo man, And these again, these organic relationships,
you know, just stemming off and in home creating man
creating some just great moments and memories. Is there any moment,
I mean, you kind of alluded to it for a second,
but not really, But are there any moments where you
like starstruck, like damn, I'm in the building.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
With so and so only talk like really well it's
one like so ice Cube son Darryl Doe boy he
uh he a fan of my music and we linked
up and then he like, yeah, my pops want to
like sit down and talk to you. And like that
was the one time where I was like damn, because
like as a rapper, that's probably like the most influential
rapper to me as a kid. You know, the first
(23:41):
album I bought on my own was The Predator, you
know what I'm saying. So yeah, that once upon a time, Like,
but I don't get starstruck, but like you know that
that that probably wash, you know, But it's crazy because
like when these these dudes are your idols in there,
your souper heroes, and then you really become friends with
(24:02):
them and work with them, it's different, you know. And
then it's just like it's crazy because it's like I'm
a I'm a collector too. Like people don't know that
if you come into my house, you don't see nothing
but vhs, laser discs, vinyl CDs, old magazine. So it's
like all the things that I looked up to as
a kid is like coming to hell. Yeah that's how
(24:26):
you know, here real collected. I just had to ask.
I got Blu rays, but I got laser discs. I
don't think people even remember what those are. They the
same size as Oh wait, I think that's what I'm
thinking of, Not about a thousand laser discs, about a
little thou you know, a little thou Wow. And I'm
still building.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
My boy's dad had had a laser disc and we
didn't have one in our house, but we used to
go over there and see him collect some at the time.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah. Yeah, just like it's not here no more. So
it's like, that's very very rare. I got a laser
disc player. Yeah, what's the last thing you watched on it? Friday?
I just bought that recently. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, all right, so I don't know, Okay, can you
just can you just get I'm gonna let you do
it for this two, which by the time this comes out,
I'm sure with you know it's.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Gonna be out.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, can you just give the features from from this too?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
We got from production Wise, we got we got thundercat
Terrace Martin, we got I gotta look at the the
damn things is the list is so crazy. We got
Chasing Cash as a producer Wise, but then like features
I'm hitting you with, like mac ten so I.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Got to spice one and bum b on track number two.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah yeah, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Though?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Mac ten produced by Chasing Cash, uh Currency J Thrill
five and be Legit three on five and beat Oh
my god, Come on.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
This side is the eclectic side to where it's like,
you know, yeah, I was gonna say, is what's the
difference between disc wanted this too? Well? I wanted people really,
I wanted people to listen to the album as as
one as you could see. On This Too it says
the intermission as the so that's the halfway through the album.
Also the movie Once upon a Time in America. You know,
(26:25):
I'm paying homage to that. That's one of the longest films,
and there's an intermission in that, and uh, you know,
I just wanted people like that's all sequenced, like you're
supposed to listen to it. How it says intro there
and then that it says the last song is to
end with Freeway Rick doing the outro like so it's
like a real movie. I mean again, there's no rules
(26:46):
in this. Well, why not just create one long I
don't think people can take that much music in at
one time these days, and I would have did myself
disservice of doing that, you know what I'm saying. And
people would be like, oh, well, what like who's you know? Like,
we don't know this guy like that, We're gonna have
to listen to thirty something songs and nah. So this
(27:07):
one got y'all paying attention to me now, So tap
in for this too. I promise you you won't be unhappy.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So is there a difference between Jay Worthy or the
rapper and Jay Worthy of the A and R? If
you can, what's the biggest distinction? The biggest difference?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think, you know, when I'm being an A and R,
I'm not like you. You have to come in there
as and listen to records and think about who's gonna
sound good on this, and you gotta take yourself out
of you gotta take the artist's hat off, and you
gotta come in there. And I wouldn't even say almost
(27:42):
like A and R, but almost is like an executive producer,
you know what I'm saying, Because I'm really gonna listen
to it and and and then I'm gonna see what
really makes sense too like, oh, that would be cool,
And I do a lot of other things that just
might be like, you know what, you should do a
collaboration with this brand, Like I'm you know, I'm heavy
in the with clothing and streetwear, like you know, all
(28:05):
my favorite brands sponsored me. And you know this this album,
we did a collab with huff We got one coming
out with Awake in New York, and you know, I
just like, yeah, I take myself out of the artist's
chair and I come into the more executive chair. You
know what I'm saying, What.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Are some of the most I mean you kind of
mentioned it a second ago, but what are some of
the most challenging moments.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That you've had to kind of endure throughout this, you know,
your journey.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You know, something that can kind of help somebody else
out that they either may be in the same situation
or that you've kind of realized like damn, okay, I
really overcame that.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah. I think a lot of people just like you know,
judge a book by its cover or perhaps just you know,
I did this all independently. Man. I didn't have no
money to fund anything. You know what I'm saying, Like,
if it wasn't for Sean letting me recorded this house
and looping those samples and us creating and drugs which
created alchemists to invite me to his house and do
(29:04):
the album. I didn't have money to fund that. That's
just a lot of a lot of things, man, just
going up against even this album, Like you got to think,
like for all these songs to actually come out and
have that many major artists and it go with their
release time and everything, it's just like you always up
against so much man, So yeah, it's always been something and.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Really like no, I mean, I'm sure outside of like
a few hiccups, I'm assuming it's like no major issues
like na to have to have that many people involved.
It's like I want to say, and heard of like
I haven't been in your situation and kind of like
being able to put products together like that.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
But I would assume that you've ran into different hurdles
and obschools right for less things, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, but you know what like this in this day
and age right as y'all notice like a lot of
people that I do music with, we kind of all
are homies and we all just like it's just like
when I go on a Larry June album, I'm not
asking Larry to it's just I do it. He gets
on my spit, it gets on mine. I get on
his rock Marshy get on my. It's like, we're just
(30:10):
having fun with this. Man. This isn't about really the money.
This is about creating good art. At the end of
the day, I never cared about making money off of
this shit. I was doing something else to make money,
and then this changed my life, and then I had
to take this serious, you know what I'm saying. So
at one point this was just a hobby and something
I love to do. Now it's a career. What was
(30:30):
that turning moment for you to make you take it seriously? Like, yeah,
I got to get my shit right with Nima and guys,
he gave me one hundred thousand dollars. I take it
serious too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I was like, yeah, man,
you know, they really believed in me and saw something
that and I was like, damn, I'm doing this just
you know. And then my other partner, Assignment was like, man,
(30:52):
as much time as you spending on that. He's like, man,
I just just don't seem like this is gonna end
too good. I think you should probably put more energy
into that, so you know, I did, and now we're here.
You know, the last ten years have been like, you know,
really grinding, trying to get to this point.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
When when you you posted something recently of you on
fair Facts and.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I think it was the creator. Oh yeah, who else
is in that picture? Because we used to go up
there and get free clothes and then come back to
the hood and pop the trunk and sell what we
got because we didn't have any other bread coming in sometimes,
you know what I'm saying. That Fairfax for me was
like like coming out out of the streets and then
(31:38):
coming up there from certain homies, and that gave me
my second wind again to be a creative because I
kind of, like, you know, I'd always been a creative,
always had that in me, but like I had stopped
and didn't care and I was went in that direction,
you know what I'm saying. So when I went there,
and that gave me my passion for it again. And
(31:59):
then I was always the younger homie with the older homies.
And then now the table's reversed. I'm seeing all my
young homies up there, and there's starting movements like Odd
Future and streetwear brands, like I saw people become like
anwar Kerris became a streetwear fashion mogul, you know what
I'm saying. I remember when they were just managing Casey
(32:20):
veggiees and pushing in. But I saw Casey turn into
a star and get signed to Rock Nation. So you
got to understand. I was really inspired for me at
the time, and that's when I was like, no, I
want to do this, and then you know, Yams and
everything just snowball effect, and you know, I guess the
higher powers above was on my side because it could
(32:42):
have went any other way, you know. But I think
that's why that block is so important to me. And
that's why it felt good getting that billboard up there,
like damn, because I used to be up here like
looking at everybody else, like man, you know, this is
what I want to do, And now I'm like, damn,
I god my on billboard right. I got photos just
(33:02):
like going back, like even you could see like that's
why like people got to really tap in and know
the history. You could see photos of me when I'm thirteen,
when I'm ten outside though I was off the porch
of ten. A lot of y'all can't say that you
know what I'm saying, and it's all there, it's all
been documented, so you know, just tap in and go
(33:23):
see what's up. Man. The documentary will come out with
this two on October tenth. We're gonna be premiering that
at certain theaters. Once I get the dates locked in
for that, I'm gonna let y'all know pop out the man.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I mean, just I'm loving witnessing history in the making
right now.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I've been really intentional on having conversations with people that
you know, we've We've seen a lot of people come
and go throughout the years. It's like people that we
thought that we would that would be here forever, right,
And it's really intentional about having these conversations with individuals
like yourself, where you're very revered. Everybody loves you, right,
and it has a lot of great things to say
(34:04):
about you. But we think that, oh, we don't talk
to them again tomorrow, or we gonna talk to them
again next week. We don't know, right, That's just the
way life goes. It's great to have you up here
and kind of just share your story thank you and
give people to like a peak that a peak behind
the scenes of like who you are as an individual,
because these the track list, the the the the relationships
(34:26):
that you have. Yeah, it's not by it's not accident.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
No, it's not by accident. We all friends and we
like our real friends and like all of us have
great stories together. Man. I got crazy stories with Thundercat
and crazy stories with June Man and Spitter and you
know what I'm saying, Like spit it and hit me
up and invited me out to his house. That's how
we did an Umbrella symphony. Man. But it's like all
(34:51):
really it just comes from like I said, man, my
I think my love and passion for the culture and
for music, and I think people can dig that and
they see it.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
And you know, I'm gonna ask you a difficult question
because you got an extensive catalog and even with these
two discs, Right, I do something where I ask people
like the what do you what would you consider the
business card track? Right, what is the best representation of
who Jayworthy is based off? Based off of Once Upon
a Time? And it could be your favorite song, but
(35:23):
I would say, what's the what do you feel like?
Which song is the best representation.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
I would say the best representation as far as a
verse would be on the Alchemist The Outcome. If you
listen to that verse, I kind of break down the
whole shit, you know. And then as far as sound goes,
so you know what I'm saying, I'd say ninety six
Big Body, just for feeling in sound that might now
(35:47):
that what I'm talking about there is like channeling old
Worthy energy. You know what I'm saying. All you know
what I mean. I'm not living that life like that
no more. But it's it's it's almost there. It's almost
like I want to come back, but nah, you know,
I'm I'm doing something else with my life. But yeah,
I think the Outcome is just a great representation of
(36:10):
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
All right, So the year can't end without Jayworthy doing
what What's what's on your bucket list?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
What's on your mind? What are you reaching out to.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Try to do? What? I don't know, man, I don't know.
After George, it was it was kind of hard to.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
That's a pretty that's a pretty high to check out.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
The quick one I got, Like what was I saying? Like, man,
link me with Rafael Sadik, Charlie Wilson, Eric Abadu, DiAngelo,
Stevie Wonder, I'll be cool. I'll retire after that, you
know what I'm saying. That's it. There might be Look,
(36:50):
ain't much I can do. There might be there might
be one. There might be one I can plug you with.
There might be one.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
And I'm sure you, I'm sure you got connect through
through everybody.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I'm just throwing it out there, man, but I'm just
you know, I don't know, man. I don't think I'll
ever stop doing what I'm doing because it just makes
me happy. And it's like, you know, I can't picture
doing anything else.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
So I love it, man, And I just congratulate you
like I just I love seeing you popping out and
you know, being an example of like what you can
do with your life.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And you know, for those that are looking up to you,
I'm sure they see you as that example as well.
Once upon a time out right now, this one, this
tube is gonna be out by the time we dropped
this and people see it and we get to cut
these clips up. Is there anything else you want the
people to know? Maybe one of the biggest miss.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Something that people may may misunderstanding. He don't. Don't. Don't
believe everything you read on the internet. You know what
I'm saying, don't you know? And uh, go go tap in, man,
Go go go to some of these neighborhoods and go
to some of these corner stores and get your facts straight.
You know what I'm saying. I'll tell you that you
know or or or come see about me in real life.
(38:00):
And other than that, Meet the Whoops produced by Hip
Boy coming out twenty twenty six, saluted Meet the Woops.
I didn't ask you about this.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
I'm gonna end with this, man, your experience at the
pop out, Man, talk about that.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Come on, man, were up there, we unifying the city.
You know what I'm saying. There's people up there that
you know, would never be standing beside each other, you know,
and we did that for a greater cause. And it
was beautiful and I would love to see more of that.
And that was just it was wild. Man, Like you
gotta really think, I'm like, I'm on the stage with
my brother Dot. You gotta think me and Dot from
(38:33):
the same hood and he's been very influential in my
career and you know, allowed me to produce Noisy bompsing
with Viceland, and he's just been there from the jump
and just always showed me love and pushed me in
the right direction. So for me to actually share a
stage with my brother and then with Dre like Drey
(38:54):
was up there too, you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
A full circle moment and a bucket list moment all
the same time. No issue was no drama too.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Nah, And I think, to be honest with you, I
think Meet the Wolves had the best stage presence. Even
if we was fucking up on the mic or whatever.
It was like everybody was like, who the hell are
those dudes? Yeah, who are they? That looks like, you
know what I'm saying, for the world, who's trying to
tap into la and Compton. And they looked at that
and we're like, Okay, that's something right there. And that's
(39:25):
you know what the label saw too. So you know,
I won't tell you where we signed to, but this
is about to be major the Wolves.

Bro oh man, come on, man, I had to stop
in this my first interview at ninety two point three.
I got a lot of respect for you in your platform.
We're here to do it. Up, man. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So Jay Worthy, Man, let's talk about the beginning man,
the roots from Jay Worthy. I feel like you're one
of the most interesting individuals in this space. Whenever your
name comes up, there's a lot of respect first and foremost, right.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But you know, I want to hear the story of
Jay Worthy, man.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I want to talk about the Compton roots, the you know, Canada,
everything from Jay Worthy and how we are to get
to this point. And I really want to know why
you don't rock or listen to hip hop like that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You more into the old school stuff too.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, you know, and I touch on that, like I
It's just I'm an old soul, you know what I mean.
Like I just I was raised on records, like you know,
old records from my pops had had a good amount
of vinyl. He had a nice collection. And you know,
I was just raised on the earth Winding Fire records,
the Stylistic records, the del Phonics, Miles Davis, you know.
(01:56):
So I just I don't know. It was probably when
my mama had me in the womb, you know what
I'm saying. It just it's in me, you feel me,
so you know, And and it's just as far as
like where my musical journey started, you know what I'm saying.
You know, really, when I got with Sean House and
we started and we formed London Drugs, and you know,
I just I just wanted to rap over the the
(02:19):
oldies that I listened to, you know, that was always
fly to me and always sounded good. And I think
at the time out here, at least in la I
really wasn't being done. I don't know if it was
just being done period. To be honest with you, I
didn't know anybody that was doing it at the time.
So I got hip that other people were making music
like that, because you know what I'm saying, other rappers
(02:41):
would reach out and be like, I fuck with what
you're doing, you know what I mean. So I don't
know if I'm allowed to custom here. Nighttime radio are
so uh. You know. I always feel like New York
kind of embraced me early on, and before they did,
you know, early beginnings was Yams, you know what I'm saying.
(03:04):
Yams was the first one to really get behind me
and push and then Dja track of Fools Gold Records,
which was a boutique label out of Brooklyn, and then
you gotta think Alchemists was the next, okay, and then
from Alchemist I got put in Griselda. You know what
I'm saying, because we always I was working on my
(03:25):
album with Alchemists in twenty sixteen. So really, when you
think about when I entered the game, I entered like
into twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. They always say it take
ten years to make it, so it's like here we
are now. And I've been known to always do these
collaborative projects with you know, different producers, and you know,
(03:46):
now I give somebody. I'm giving y' all like a
real studio album, you know what I'm saying something that's
I'm used to just making bodies of work that have
a unique sound and a concept. This is like my
first studio album, so it's crazy to say that this
is my day solo, you know. And I had to
give y'all two discs because I've been working on this
ship for a long time.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It's not disrespectful in a sense, but it's like when
you say, oh, this is his debut, I was like.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Nah, you've been doing this for a wow.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So when people hear that they think, oh it was
his first I was like, nah, he's been here for
a while.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
But EPs and collaborate like me and Alchemist, me and
Larry June, me and Currency, me and Cardo, Me and
Harry Fraud, me and DJ Muggs, And it ain't never
been you know what I'm saying. And that's also something
I want to touch down on. It's like a lot
of people are like, well, man, it's stacked with features,
you know what I'm saying. But if you know, you know,
(04:40):
I've been doing my thing as an A and R
as well, you know, an R troop of cabra for
DJ Quick and Jason Martin. I've been doing you know,
A and R work for a lot of big artists
on the side, you know, YG Terrace Martin. And it
only is right that if I'm wearing the A and
R hat that wouldn't the features be crazy as they
(05:00):
are on this sense, you know what I'm saying. So
I just wanted to, you know, show that side of
it too, because this is all organic, you know, like
I'm doing this one hundred percent independent, you know, shout
out the empire of course, you know, my distributor, but
as far as how I move, everything is organic. You know,
everything is done based on love and love for the
music and respect for one another. You know, like so
(05:23):
if people not knowing how this is done, this is
done out of respect and love and that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So talk about the relationships that you've been able to
kind of just manage throughout the years, Like you said,
so many people that you've collaborated with, and obviously people
are showing up for your debut project, but it speaks
to the type of person that you are as well
and why people will show up with so much respect.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And give you that you know, right right energy, right right,
because like you know, people are dumb these days, Like
they don't they don't know how this shit really works.
You know, they'll be like, oh, did you buy these features?
Did you buy these meats? I'm like what, like hell, no,
like what this is? This is all for the love
of the game. But I think people just recognize that
I'm a genuine dude. A lot of people knew who
(06:09):
know me from just being around. They know me either
from the streets or they might know me for being
in these studio rooms, and they respect my ear, they
respect my taste and it's not like everybody on this
album I've known for years, you know what I'm saying,
Like this all had relationships with these people for years,
(06:31):
so it's not like none of this shit is just new.
You feel me So like I said, man, it's been
ten years in the making. But really these relationships, I
know some of these people for twenty years, you know
what I'm saying. So that's where it comes from.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's so funny, man, because at the listening party, oh.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
My god, you.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Bro the diverse crowd members.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I was just like, yo, skateboard.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It was it was like you saw, you saw Fairfax,
you saw you saw all different walks of life, right,
the representation of me, and that that's what I was
gonna get to man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It's a representation of who you are. And it's like the.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Being comfortable, like being in that space and people showing
up and showing love to you. No issues, no nothing,
no just people all there to like really show up
for you. But I was I was tripping out because
when you press play that ninety six big body, right,
I mean, but to think about you know that that
(07:31):
pocket big sight, like that is like it's a it's
a statement piece. First First of all, you got Rick
Ross opening right.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So that's like if anybody want to know what's up. Man,
I got a documentary coming out Free Way. Rick narrated
my album. He did the intro. But Rick know me,
like you know, like I know the back of my hand.
So you know, me and Rick knowing each other. We
when Rick got out of prison, me and him started together,
you know, like broke, hustling clothing and hair, just trying
(08:01):
to go legit and do yeah, you know what I mean.
So yeah, that that that intro is h.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's a special woe man. You can tell it wasn't
something that was just oh, let me just record a
drop of homie.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
He came over to my house and did it, and
I got emotional. I had to get out of the
out of the room while he was doing it because
I was like, damn man, he really like damn bro
like we really go back. Man. He used to come
pick me up at Big Face House like people don't
know that. Like I used to live on black Wall
Street on Brazilian Wilmington. Like the history. I got stories
(08:34):
in real history, man. I got real history in New
York too, Like you know, I lived uptown. I didn't. Yeah, man,
I didn't been around and I didn't and before the
music shit is even crazier. I can't even get into
a lot of it, you know what I mean. But
I'm here now and that's what we on this on
this album.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Talking about those experiences.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Man, how do you kind of dictate like, Okay, I'm
comfortable enough to share these experiences, but you know certain
things can't make project.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But at the same time being able to tell your story.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm a pretty open book when it comes down to
talking about what I'm talking about my life on music.
So you're gonna get it all on there. Yeah. I
might just not want to go on certain podcasts these
days that look like Jerry Springer. You know what I'm saying,
I just stay away from that. That's why I came
on here because I respect the platform. I know it's
(09:24):
about music. I know I know what we're on, you
know what I'm saying, And I know the people that
tuned in are real fans and real listeners. You know what.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Another thing, man, I'm a huge Quick fan. The year
for the homies man, that Quick scroove. I'm just like,
for those that don't know, that's that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
One of the best grooves. Oh my god, that's literally
my favorite one. Yeah, that's the one Roger like, oh my,
and you know me and Quick are close. That's my brother,
you know what I'm saying. So I'm at Quick's house
all the time, and you know, he told me about
that record. He said I was an emotional record for
him because that was when Roger had passed. And you know,
Roger taught him how to you know, the vote corder
(10:02):
yet the top box. So that's Quick singing that. You
know what I'm saying, that's Quick singing all that. So yeah,
I really love that record, and you know he let
me have it. You know, people don't know, like this
next year about to be so crazy because we're talking
about this album and that's what we're pushing. But you know,
me and DJ Quick dropping the Jay Worthy wrapping on
all the Quick groups. Yeah, and me and George Clinton
(10:27):
album that we didn't gether? Can we in Conductor? You
know what I'm saying, stop it? And he is already done,
like you know what, these are already all done. And
I won't even tell you there's gonna be a guest
rapper on the DJ Quick one. But I ain't gonna
let y'all know too much?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Can I can? I just let me? Can I try
to guess right to gain?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't want you to do that. Man.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna ask you a question and
you just give me that yes or no? Is it
somebody that normally collaborates with Quick?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
No? Okay? All right, yeah, you know I'm gonna come different.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Last part, last part of that question. Isn't somebody that's
from out here?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No? All right, all right? The show?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well, I mean that speaks to the type of individual
that you are again garnering all these relationships and somebody
like Quick that who is not he don't just be
giving his beats away, Like that's not something he's comfortable
with doing it. And this is from somebody that is
a fan that doesn't really know Quick like that, but
just as a fan of somebody that listens to his music,
(11:30):
it's like, yeah, that's not something he usually.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Signed off on.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Listen. I went over to his house because he built
an amazing studio inside of his home, right, it's amazing,
And you know he I come up there and he's like,
all right, you know, little Dave in there. You know,
get busy. Yeah, get busy. And I'm like he's like,
I'm like, all right, but you're DJ quick. What do
(11:54):
you mean where the beats at? He's like, I ain't
been making beats right now, you know what I'm saying.
I'm like, well, well, what am I gonna do? No?
I said, well, I didn't come up here with beats.
So I said, you know what I this is something
that I've always wanted to do, is wrap over the
quick scroove. So he's like, that's what you want to do.
I'm like, duh, like yeah, yeah. So I went in
there and then he liked it, man, and then you know,
(12:16):
so we've been pushing on that. But wait, so was
the for the Home Home is on that? And I said,
let me get that just like certain like you know,
our relationships. So many people like that Conductor song with
me and Grido that was for me and Conductor album.
But I had a falling out with a certain producer that,
if you notice, was on the first track listing, and
(12:36):
you know, just somebody that was ungrateful. I was basically
putting them on and uh, you know, I don't even
want to give him too much time. But anyways, we
made some fourth quarter changes that were Now I was
able to add Harry Fraud to the album. DJ Muggs Conductor,
DJ Fresh, Which how does Jay Worthy put out a solo,
his debut solo, and not have those legends that I
(12:57):
have so much music with you? You know what I'm saying.
But yeah, the conductor record, man, conductor, let me have
that one for the album, which was cool. Quick, let
me take one off of the project as well.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Before before I just let it fly. I'm gonna just
list off the features on the on the project just
so people can have an idea of these relationships.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
That just this is just just one.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean I could go with this too, because you
all let them know after all.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Right, So we got we got of course Freeway, Ricky
Ross right, got Kamile, which I love that one, you
know what I mean? We want to come in of course,
car Carlo got Wings, DJ Quick. What we just said, Man,
Reckless is my ship.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
By the way, you know how old that record is?
Twelve thirteen years old, swear to God.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Okay, So before I get to the rest, how is
introducing something like that for this project? You know a
lot of people are like, man, I got I got
music out of that's shell for later on.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I don't how do you decide like what you want
to use.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I just know good records. I just know what's timeless,
and I just know what needs to be on there.
And if you know, like I said, I took my
time with this, So why hadn't it been released earlier? Well,
that one was supposed to be Originally when we were
making Active, that was like and then we just kept
making songs and then Sean was like, nah, it's gotta stop.
But we're never gonna hand in the album. So that
(14:14):
one just sat there and we're always like, we're gonna
put that on the second Active album. But you know,
me and Sean we never made like we've only made
one real album. It's Lendon Drugs and that's Active Affiliated
was compilations that burnouts were EPs, so like that was
supposed to be on the next Active, but I said, nah,
(14:34):
let me get this for the debut solo. And if
you if you really look at the the album, you
know I got between this one and this too. I
think Sean did nine of the beats, you know, and
that's just shows like that's that's like, that's you know,
it's like Guru and prem or like you know, Dre
and Snoop. It's like you got to stick with who
you started with. Who Me and him got a certain
(14:56):
chemistry and that you don't get anybody, Nah, for sure, not.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I can't. I can't stop right now?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Man? Is that? Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Levin Kelly Lavin Collie?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Yeah? Am you know that? Man?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And that one kind of saying and correct me if
I'm wrong. That sounds like more of like a for
real type.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Thing like that. That's why he played it for me
and I was like, I was like I could get this,
and he's like, yeah, you can have that. I was like, bet,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
So you know, Lavin is incredible, you know, like he
he wrote and produced Beyonce's last two albums. You know
what I'm saying. Like he's an incredible songwriter, incredible producer.
His father was an old school bass player from a
funk band called Mother's Finance who I actually surprised George
with him at the session. I had them come to
(15:46):
Tallahassee to George's house and when he saw him, he said,
you look like a wizard from Mother's Finance. And He's like,
I am captured all that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm assuming you got a documentary.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, I got a docu. I got a document Joe,
we got like a whole week together.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah you know, okay, let me get through the damn
track list like I got okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So, uh of course E forty whiskally.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
For Jim Jones. Of course you got Gary Fraud. Oh
three greeto, we said conductor. Yea, Idris Idris an amazing artist. Yeah,
a lot of these. Okay, that's eclectic that right there.
No rappers don't get it. Idris beat he directed the video.
We just dropped the video today. Idris is crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You know. I just got his own shoe and new balance. Like,
Idres is just moving different out here. If y'all ain't
really hip to bro in the rap world, Me and
Idris have an album also completely done too. Okaya Jay,
how do you they said, there's two of me?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Man, how are you able to stay focused with all
of these projects that you're kind of working on, like
talk about the that side of it?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And I don't know if that's the ain't r in you,
if that's you know, the people person in you, But
how are you able to kind of kart what's the
word carent cart compartmentalize these projects and say, Okay, I
can work on multiple ones or do you have to
lock in with one to finish all the way through it?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
How do you have what's the process?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, you know, we just get like it just happens.
But I work fast, you know what I'm saying. So,
like when me and I just locked in, like all right,
first time we link, we're gonna do like three or
four songs, and then the next time we link it's
gonna be like maybe two or three and then boom.
But by the time we didn't already had five sessions,
we're gonna have like fifteen songs. So we're gonna narrow
(17:38):
it down and then fine tune it. But it just like,
I don't plan none of this out. It's just kind
of how life happens. You know. I just you know,
I forgot it. What's that Captain Morgan is the most
interesting man in the world.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, gotta change that, man, cause I feel
like that's That's one of those things that you're listen
off the features as you listen off not only the
relationships in these sores that you have with people, I'm
sure that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
People would ask how or why.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Like how does it like?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
What is it about?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I just say, I just say, like, look, man, if
you solid is solid, you feel me genuine is genuine,
Like I don't know. I've always been a good judge
of character, you know, with people and just how to move.
And I don't know. So I guess you know, either
people must have taken a liking to me because it's
a whole lot of favors on that album, or people
(18:28):
just you know, but not favors that they just want
to because I think they just seen me go through
a lot in life. And if you know me personally
and know the up and down battles I've been through
and just period just being and just be always being there.
And you know, I'm somebody that phone number never changed.
I always been there. I'm always there for my homies.
I ain't never gone nowhere. Like you know what I'm saying.
(18:51):
I'm not trying to self proclaim nothing, but I'm just
I am who I am, and I guess you know
who rock with me? Rock with me? Man, That's it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I mean again, you can see it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And by the way, we only on this one, Okay,
I'm still not done on the feature. Shout out to Randa,
who I just met today.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I saw at the listening party. She had a whole
escort come that they.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Came then from from what she's She's from New Zealand, Zealand.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He was fresh.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
She was fresh from the plane though, Yes, fresh off
the plane. One of the most amazing records on the album.
It's actually comes off of her album that she just dropped,
and she let me have that from mine and I
put my twist on it. And you know, she produces
all her own stuff too, and she has her team,
but an incredible, amazing artist all around.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Let me let me can I try to finish it off?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Fordy James, all right, Larry June, hit Boy, Alchemist of course,
Westside Gun, Davees ab So. And I think that I
mentioned Sign, which I've never heard. I don't think I've
ever heard Tie like that. Yeah, he sounded like loud,
damn near.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I was going to say, I don't want like that.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm not shitting on him by any means, but and
Ty has a certain soul about him. Yeah, but I've
never heard that type of soul come from Ty Dolla.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Sign you want to know a story about that record. So,
like we was like partying one night and we all
end up back at like Ty's compound and we're the
gang of people. But that he played that record and
it came on and I was like, I always remember that.
So then when we're working on this, you know, I
was like, hey, what you doing with that record? And
(20:30):
he's like, you want that one. I'm like, yeah, I
can get that. So he gave me that one, and
I thought he produced it, because you know, Ty produces
and he's an amazing producer. So we find out that
hip Boy actually made that beat, and hit Boy like, well,
I'm actually using that to come out on something of
his new but he let me get it first, and
he said, guess what, we make our own rules. These days,
(20:52):
it don't matter, Like what does it matter if Jay
Worthy wrapped on the hit Boy beat and then he
wraps on it with two other people or whatever he's
doing with it. You know what I'm saying. I think
it just makes it more interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
At the end of the day, like you said, there's
no rules, no rules.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Things are changing, so it allows you to maneuver in
a way where it's organic it's fresh, and it kind
of leaves the relationships open to say.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Man, I love man, yo, yo, let's go ahead at it.
It still benefits me nonetheless, Yeah, man, So you know,
like that that to me was dope. Disc one has
been incredible, just to see the reaction to people tapping
in and you know, listening to the body of work
and I'm excited about this too, you know. So yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Futures and you've talked about it, man, George Clinton, Bro, George, Man, how.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Does this relationship start?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Like of course fans, but like how do you end
up in the studio with them and hanging out with George?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So George like started following me like way back when
we dropped Active so like ten years ago in yeah,
but he like didn't really like to hap all the
way in. And then when I dropped two p's in
a pod, he tapped in and was like this is different,
and he's like He's like, I gotta get with you.
So he invited me out to his show and then
(22:12):
you know, we linked and we got along grade and
then George though right like I'm tripping, like you know
what I'm saying, Like that's like hanging out with Michael
Jackson or Stevie Wonder like, come on, it's George Clinton,
like we're kicking it and just getting along way with music.
And then Quick walks into the room, okay, and he
George is like, you gotta you gotta get with bro,
(22:33):
you know what I'm saying, and Quick like, I don't
stop the floodgates when George say that. So that's what
put me on, which led me. Then I saw then
Quick invited me back to his show, which was all
at the Novo, and then I seen, you know, prob
Jason and came to Jason was like, yo, man, I
want to do A and R and Man like let
me let me do that, you know, and he talked
(22:54):
to Q about it, and then you know what I'm saying,
And that's how that all came about.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Man, So yo man, And these again, these organic relationships,
you know, just stemming off and in home creating man
creating some just great moments and memories. Is there any moment,
I mean, you kind of alluded to it for a second,
but not really, But are there any moments where you
like starstruck, like damn, I'm in the building.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
With so and so only talk like really well it's
one like so ice Cube son Darryl Doe boy he
uh he a fan of my music and we linked
up and then he like, yeah, my pops want to
like sit down and talk to you. And like that
was the one time where I was like damn, because
like as a rapper, that's probably like the most influential
rapper to me as a kid. You know, the first
(23:41):
album I bought on my own was The Predator, you
know what I'm saying. So yeah, that once upon a time, Like,
but I don't get starstruck, but like you know that
that that probably wash, you know, But it's crazy because
like when these these dudes are your idols in there,
your souper heroes, and then you really become friends with
(24:02):
them and work with them, it's different, you know. And
then it's just like it's crazy because it's like I'm
a I'm a collector too. Like people don't know that
if you come into my house, you don't see nothing
but vhs, laser discs, vinyl CDs, old magazine. So it's
like all the things that I looked up to as
a kid is like coming to hell. Yeah that's how
(24:26):
you know, here real collected. I just had to ask.
I got Blu rays, but I got laser discs. I
don't think people even remember what those are. They the
same size as Oh wait, I think that's what I'm
thinking of, Not about a thousand laser discs, about a
little thou you know, a little thou Wow. And I'm
still building.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
My boy's dad had had a laser disc and we
didn't have one in our house, but we used to
go over there and see him collect some at the time.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah. Yeah, just like it's not here no more. So
it's like, that's very very rare. I got a laser
disc player. Yeah, what's the last thing you watched on it? Friday?
I just bought that recently. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, all right, so I don't know, Okay, can you
just can you just get I'm gonna let you do
it for this two, which by the time this comes out,
I'm sure with you know it's.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Gonna be out.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, can you just give the features from from this too?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
We got from production Wise, we got we got thundercat
Terrace Martin, we got I gotta look at the the
damn things is the list is so crazy. We got
Chasing Cash as a producer Wise, but then like features
I'm hitting you with, like mac ten so I.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Got to spice one and bum b on track number two.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah yeah, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Though?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Mac ten produced by Chasing Cash, uh Currency J Thrill
five and be Legit three on five and beat Oh
my god, Come on.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
This side is the eclectic side to where it's like,
you know, yeah, I was gonna say, is what's the
difference between disc wanted this too? Well? I wanted people really,
I wanted people to listen to the album as as
one as you could see. On This Too it says
the intermission as the so that's the halfway through the album.
Also the movie Once upon a Time in America. You know,
(26:25):
I'm paying homage to that. That's one of the longest films,
and there's an intermission in that, and uh, you know,
I just wanted people like that's all sequenced, like you're
supposed to listen to it. How it says intro there
and then that it says the last song is to
end with Freeway Rick doing the outro like so it's
like a real movie. I mean again, there's no rules
(26:46):
in this. Well, why not just create one long I
don't think people can take that much music in at
one time these days, and I would have did myself
disservice of doing that, you know what I'm saying. And
people would be like, oh, well, what like who's you know? Like,
we don't know this guy like that, We're gonna have
to listen to thirty something songs and nah. So this
(27:07):
one got y'all paying attention to me now, So tap
in for this too. I promise you you won't be unhappy.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So is there a difference between Jay Worthy or the
rapper and Jay Worthy of the A and R? If
you can, what's the biggest distinction? The biggest difference?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think, you know, when I'm being an A and R,
I'm not like you. You have to come in there
as and listen to records and think about who's gonna
sound good on this, and you gotta take yourself out
of you gotta take the artist's hat off, and you
gotta come in there. And I wouldn't even say almost
(27:42):
like A and R, but almost is like an executive producer,
you know what I'm saying, Because I'm really gonna listen
to it and and and then I'm gonna see what
really makes sense too like, oh, that would be cool,
And I do a lot of other things that just
might be like, you know what, you should do a
collaboration with this brand, Like I'm you know, I'm heavy
in the with clothing and streetwear, like you know, all
(28:05):
my favorite brands sponsored me. And you know this this album,
we did a collab with huff We got one coming
out with Awake in New York, and you know, I
just like, yeah, I take myself out of the artist's
chair and I come into the more executive chair. You
know what I'm saying, What.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Are some of the most I mean you kind of
mentioned it a second ago, but what are some of
the most challenging moments.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That you've had to kind of endure throughout this, you know,
your journey.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You know, something that can kind of help somebody else
out that they either may be in the same situation
or that you've kind of realized like damn, okay, I
really overcame that.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah. I think a lot of people just like you know,
judge a book by its cover or perhaps just you know,
I did this all independently. Man. I didn't have no
money to fund anything. You know what I'm saying, Like,
if it wasn't for Sean letting me recorded this house
and looping those samples and us creating and drugs which
created alchemists to invite me to his house and do
(29:04):
the album. I didn't have money to fund that. That's
just a lot of a lot of things, man, just
going up against even this album, Like you got to think,
like for all these songs to actually come out and
have that many major artists and it go with their
release time and everything, it's just like you always up
against so much man, So yeah, it's always been something and.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Really like no, I mean, I'm sure outside of like
a few hiccups, I'm assuming it's like no major issues
like na to have to have that many people involved.
It's like I want to say, and heard of like
I haven't been in your situation and kind of like
being able to put products together like that.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
But I would assume that you've ran into different hurdles
and obschools right for less things, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah, but you know what like this in this day
and age right as y'all notice like a lot of
people that I do music with, we kind of all
are homies and we all just like it's just like
when I go on a Larry June album, I'm not
asking Larry to it's just I do it. He gets
on my spit, it gets on mine. I get on
his rock Marshy get on my. It's like, we're just
(30:10):
having fun with this. Man. This isn't about really the money.
This is about creating good art. At the end of
the day, I never cared about making money off of
this shit. I was doing something else to make money,
and then this changed my life, and then I had
to take this serious, you know what I'm saying. So
at one point this was just a hobby and something
I love to do. Now it's a career. What was
(30:30):
that turning moment for you to make you take it seriously? Like, yeah,
I got to get my shit right with Nima and guys,
he gave me one hundred thousand dollars. I take it
serious too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I was like, yeah, man,
you know, they really believed in me and saw something
that and I was like, damn, I'm doing this just
you know. And then my other partner, Assignment was like, man,
(30:52):
as much time as you spending on that. He's like, man,
I just just don't seem like this is gonna end
too good. I think you should probably put more energy
into that, so you know, I did, and now we're here.
You know, the last ten years have been like, you know,
really grinding, trying to get to this point.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
When when you you posted something recently of you on
fair Facts and.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I think it was the creator. Oh yeah, who else
is in that picture? Because we used to go up
there and get free clothes and then come back to
the hood and pop the trunk and sell what we
got because we didn't have any other bread coming in sometimes,
you know what I'm saying. That Fairfax for me was
like like coming out out of the streets and then
(31:38):
coming up there from certain homies, and that gave me
my second wind again to be a creative because I
kind of, like, you know, I'd always been a creative,
always had that in me, but like I had stopped
and didn't care and I was went in that direction,
you know what I'm saying. So when I went there,
and that gave me my passion for it again. And
(31:59):
then I was always the younger homie with the older homies.
And then now the table's reversed. I'm seeing all my
young homies up there, and there's starting movements like Odd
Future and streetwear brands, like I saw people become like
anwar Kerris became a streetwear fashion mogul, you know what
I'm saying. I remember when they were just managing Casey
(32:20):
veggiees and pushing in. But I saw Casey turn into
a star and get signed to Rock Nation. So you
got to understand. I was really inspired for me at
the time, and that's when I was like, no, I
want to do this, and then you know, Yams and
everything just snowball effect, and you know, I guess the
higher powers above was on my side because it could
(32:42):
have went any other way, you know. But I think
that's why that block is so important to me. And
that's why it felt good getting that billboard up there,
like damn, because I used to be up here like
looking at everybody else, like man, you know, this is
what I want to do, And now I'm like, damn,
I god my on billboard right. I got photos just
(33:02):
like going back, like even you could see like that's
why like people got to really tap in and know
the history. You could see photos of me when I'm thirteen,
when I'm ten outside though I was off the porch
of ten. A lot of y'all can't say that you
know what I'm saying, and it's all there, it's all
been documented, so you know, just tap in and go
(33:23):
see what's up. Man. The documentary will come out with
this two on October tenth. We're gonna be premiering that
at certain theaters. Once I get the dates locked in
for that, I'm gonna let y'all know pop out the man.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I mean, just I'm loving witnessing history in the making
right now.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I've been really intentional on having conversations with people that
you know, we've We've seen a lot of people come
and go throughout the years. It's like people that we
thought that we would that would be here forever, right,
And it's really intentional about having these conversations with individuals
like yourself, where you're very revered. Everybody loves you, right,
and it has a lot of great things to say
(34:04):
about you. But we think that, oh, we don't talk
to them again tomorrow, or we gonna talk to them
again next week. We don't know, right, That's just the
way life goes. It's great to have you up here
and kind of just share your story thank you and
give people to like a peak that a peak behind
the scenes of like who you are as an individual,
because these the track list, the the the the relationships
(34:26):
that you have. Yeah, it's not by it's not accident.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
No, it's not by accident. We all friends and we
like our real friends and like all of us have
great stories together. Man. I got crazy stories with Thundercat
and crazy stories with June Man and Spitter and you
know what I'm saying, Like spit it and hit me
up and invited me out to his house. That's how
we did an Umbrella symphony. Man. But it's like all
(34:51):
really it just comes from like I said, man, my
I think my love and passion for the culture and
for music, and I think people can dig that and
they see it.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
And you know, I'm gonna ask you a difficult question
because you got an extensive catalog and even with these
two discs, Right, I do something where I ask people
like the what do you what would you consider the
business card track? Right, what is the best representation of
who Jayworthy is based off? Based off of Once Upon
a Time? And it could be your favorite song, but
(35:23):
I would say, what's the what do you feel like?
Which song is the best representation.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
I would say the best representation as far as a
verse would be on the Alchemist The Outcome. If you
listen to that verse, I kind of break down the
whole shit, you know. And then as far as sound goes,
so you know what I'm saying, I'd say ninety six
Big Body, just for feeling in sound that might now
(35:47):
that what I'm talking about there is like channeling old
Worthy energy. You know what I'm saying. All you know
what I mean. I'm not living that life like that
no more. But it's it's it's almost there. It's almost
like I want to come back, but nah, you know,
I'm I'm doing something else with my life. But yeah,
I think the Outcome is just a great representation of
(36:10):
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
All right, So the year can't end without Jayworthy doing
what What's what's on your bucket list?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
What's on your mind? What are you reaching out to.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Try to do? What? I don't know, man, I don't know.
After George, it was it was kind of hard to.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
That's a pretty that's a pretty high to check out.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
The quick one I got, Like what was I saying? Like, man,
link me with Rafael Sadik, Charlie Wilson, Eric Abadu, DiAngelo,
Stevie Wonder, I'll be cool. I'll retire after that, you
know what I'm saying. That's it. There might be Look,
(36:50):

be one. There might be one I can plug you with.
There might be one.
Speaker 1 (36:57):

through everybody.

you know, being an example of like what you can
do with your life.
Speaker 3 (37:20):

Speaker 1 (37:20):
And you know, for those that are looking up to you,
I'm sure they see you as that example as well.
Once upon a time out right now, this one, this
tube is gonna be out by the time we dropped
this and people see it and we get to cut
these clips up. Is there anything else you want the
people to know? Maybe one of the biggest miss.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Something that people may may misunderstanding. He don't. Don't. Don't
believe everything you read on the internet. You know what
I'm saying, don't you know? And uh, go go tap in, man,
Go go go to some of these neighborhoods and go
to some of these corner stores and get your facts straight.
You know what I'm saying. I'll tell you that you
know or or or come see about me in real life.

Boy coming out twenty twenty six, saluted Meet the Woops.

pop out, Man, talk about that.
Speaker 3 (38:13):

you know, would never be standing beside each other, you know,
and we did that for a greater cause. And it
was beautiful and I would love to see more of that.
And that was just it was wild. Man, Like you
gotta really think, I'm like, I'm on the stage with
my brother Dot. You gotta think me and Dot from
(38:33):
the same hood and he's been very influential in my
career and you know, allowed me to produce Noisy bompsing
with Viceland, and he's just been there from the jump
and just always showed me love and pushed me in
the right direction. So for me to actually share a
stage with my brother and then with Dre like Drey
(38:54):
was up there too, you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
A full circle moment and a bucket list moment all
the same time. No issue was no drama too.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Nah, And I think, to be honest with you, I
think Meet the Wolves had the best stage presence. Even
if we was fucking up on the mic or whatever.
It was like everybody was like, who the hell are
those dudes? Yeah, who are they? That looks like, you
know what I'm saying, for the world, who's trying to
tap into la and Compton. And they looked at that
and we're like, Okay, that's something right there. And that's

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
