Speaker 1 (00:06):
All right, we back at it. Yeah, are we recording
right there?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Right?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Is it recording? We're good, all right, Chuck Dizzel Live
and direct.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, we keep it at Homegrown as always special guests today.
He's very important to the Homegrown story, to be perfectly honest, man,
I was having a conversation with the Homy Blessed downstairs
as we were walking up, and this dude not only
is a part of the legendary group you and I
right one a half of you and I blog era.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
We all know that that may have been.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
An introduction for a lot of you, but the key
component to one of my first interviews from Homegrown Radio
when it was at Long Beach State.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
So we've touched down a lot of the roots, from
inglewood to big stages. I've seen you evolved throughout the years,
and now we're celebrating ten years a party in my
living room.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Man.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
So not only have you evolved from you know, being
one half of you and I on the solo tip
doing your thing, and now we're celebrating this brand that
you've you know, incredible brand you was created in a
new project.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
You know, My man, Thursdays in the building.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Man, he brought the party in my living room to
the party in the damn studio right now.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Bringing box Thursdays in the building. Man, Yo, what's so
funny about this, thirs.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Is that this really feels like we all joke and say, Yo,
this feels like LOMOI right, LOMOI have If you guys
don't know, that's where the second portion of Homegrown kind
of really like really got his foot off the ground
my apartment in Inglewood and you pulled up there and
blessed the show many times as well. Man, So this
this has that energy. We got so many damn people
in the building, man, party in my living room? The project? Now,

(01:39):
I didn't realize this is the first project. You've had
so many people on stages. You've done a lot of
things first and foremost, tell me how do we get here?
Party in my living room? Relatives and cousins the project?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Man, I really I was playing this, yoall.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I wrote out a plan last year, and writing stuff
down is really powerful. That's how you able to manifest
things into reality. And I put it on the plan,
but I didn't know how it's really going to happen
and then my boy CJ. He does all his partnerships
over as soon though, and he hit me up trying
to figure out ways to work a part in my
living room. You know, he experienced the Coachella activation, so
you know a lot of brands want to figure out

(02:16):
how they can rock with us, because you know, we're
really bringing all the artists that are from the city
and that I have good relationships with and integrated them
into these activations. So they wanted to figure out how
they can work a part in my living room. So,
you know, saw what was happening with AI and how
impacting the music industry, and I was like, all right,
AI is here, So I got to figure out a

(02:39):
case study to use it in an ethical way. You know,
it can be negative in the wrong hands or super
impactful on the right hands. So I gave him the
concept of doing a camp and creating that project from
that camp, and using the AI to create sample beds,
you know, so generating me music that sounds like it's

(03:00):
from the seventies or eighties, and then bringing some of
the Ellis producers you know they are here today and
chopping it up, you know, like they normally do. And
it gets some of the Eliss artists to make songs
in real time and then we're able to do twenty
five songs over three days. He finished twenty one of them,
and you know, we locked in on the date and
you know, was working with Suno to wroll it out,

(03:22):
shot some great content with Storm and Coolie and we made.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
A real album.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
You know, it's like all real, you know, Like I
don't want to say that we leaned on AI. We
normally did what we normally do and we just used
the tools that were accessible to us.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
So what do you say to people that you know,
because obviously as soon Tho has been in the news
for multiple two of the reasons, and you know, mainly
stilling content has been like kind of like the headlines
and and rightfully so people feel a certain way about it.
So what's your response to that? And you, like you said,
leaning into the technology and doing it in an ethical way.
So for people that are watching and listening and they're like, man,

(03:56):
but they don't give a fuck about the artist fry
of the music, but you're leaning into this. So what's
your response to people that might not really understand the
direction that you're taking it with this.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Man I embrace technology.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
You know, like if you've ever been to party in
my living room, you've seen me like integrate some type
of technological advance, you know, way to distribute music to
people that are there. I had stamps that like the
second party of my living room, these stamps for like
these three D printed you know, plastic things where you
can place it on somebody's phone and it'll trigger, you know,
the web browser to go to a unique URL. So

(04:30):
I always trying to embrace wherever technology is going. I
see technology as like the best way to impact distribution.
So I'm always trying to embrace it and learn it
because if you're not learning it, and you're dying because
the world is continually moving and you know, Murray's Law
is getting shorter and shorter, and you know, it's impacting
music in a major way. So we have to learn

(04:51):
how to use these tools and you know, educate ourselves
on how to you know, leverage it or you know,
amplify what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Now, I love that you said that, And for anybody
that's watching or listening right now, I want you to
know how ahead of the curb this dude has always
been because what you're talking about right now. Some people
may not have any idea of like what sooner whereas
or what is capable of doing. But if you go
back and look at two thousand and seven, you and I, right,

(05:20):
I remember one of the things that called my attention
to you guys embraced YouTube early, and you were doing
case studies on the streets where people listening to music.
You guys are doing content creation back in two thousand
and seven was it wasn't even a thing. So it's like,
I see this, it's the same thing. It's like wherever
technology is going, wherever the industry is going. You guys,
you you mainly been like ahead of the curb with

(05:42):
embracing what it is and kind of taking that and
taking it to the next level. So for anybody that's watching,
it's like, man, no, I don't know if now he's
been on.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
This years ago, like this is what he does.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Even just seeing the startup party in my living room
ten years ago, man, congratulations on ten years of that.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
That's amazing idea y'all.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Give it on your years party in my living room. Man,
I want to go there as well.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Man.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Just the creation of that platform and what it's done
for the artists, what it's done for yourself.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
And being able to pivot from being.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
An artist to be able to create a platform for
artists and then fast forward to have Golden Voice. Have
you guys go out to Coachella and do you know
showcases out there as well?

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Man, Yeah, yeah, So part of my living room is
like a happy accident, right. I was doing a lot
of production work with Red bull Or during their sound
select days, and I was able to work both sides
of the spectrum as an artist and then also as
a producer and seating product and all that good stuff,
and learning how they were producing their shows very intentional
about where they play logos, where they put their product,

(06:41):
you know, and how they seated the products of the artists,
intentional by every aspect of it. So I just kind of,
you know, indoctrinated a lot of their methods and I'm like,
all right, I can use what they're doing to amplify
their product and put this into a space where I
can promote my music as the product.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
So I did an EP he called Designer EP.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
You know, had like a lot of great music on
there and had the Lake you know, China in there.
From Camp in China, you know, Rest in Peace, and
you know, Cords did a lot of production. We had
Rocky on there, Aaron Harrish and it was a dope project,
but we didn't have any budget to really market it.
So I had to go to this grassroots approach, take
in this production knowledge from Red Bull, and I was

(07:23):
all right, let me do a house party on steroids,
you know. So we did it at Jay Pounds House
and the Josh over there on second half, and I
put out a little flyer that had RSVP on there.
We got like two thousand RCPs, had like six hundred
people show up, like a seventeen hundre squirrel flot house
the backyard.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
She was insane.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
It's insane, you know.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
We had Overdose performed, you know, shout out to Junior here.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
We had Tiffany Goo shape or form. We had Inglewood Sir.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
So it was like a historical moment, you know, Exile
from like Bluing Exile was there and Rocking, We had
giant Polygon, Fat Run was there, everybody Man Model Mari
like man. It was like a unique time. So it
happened out of necessity as a happy accident. But happened
out in the necessity to promote the project, and then

(08:12):
it created, you know, a scene that we can celebrate
our homies in there. Take that, taking the success story
from there, replicating out in Chicago, replicating it in Atlanta, Denver.
We even did it outside of Coachella, you know, that
first year. So it was just like a lot of
learnings and taking the data, building like email list and

(08:32):
just trying to stay in contact with everybody that was
coming so that we could you know, communicate with them
and you know, supply our music to.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
That was the intention when you first kind of established this,
that it was gonna be something that you can build
on for years, or like you said that happy accident.
Was it just like I'm gonna just take this year
by year and kind of see where it goes. Or
did you have the foresight to be like, oh, no,
that's gonna be something in the next ten years, twenty years,
something that people are gonna be speaking on, you know,
down the line.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Man, I didn't know.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
I didn't have like the foresight to like see it
as something that would last ten years. You know. I
thought it was like something that was just cool for
the moment. But then after that first year, I think
after the one in the Dons where we partner with
Jordan Peel for to Get Out, you know, premiere, That's
why I was.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Like, all right, this is something else.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
This is the entity that people could you know, buy
into and you know, we can like create unique moments
for everything, you know, everything entertainment, but it's rooted in
real music and real artistry. But you know, if it's
produced right, we can add anything to that mix and
make it dope, you know, and still represent and you know,
support the people that we love.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, So look, party in my living room, cousins and relatives.
Value one yeah, so which means it's gonna be more
values down the line.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Look, I want you to kind of I don't know
how we're gonna do this.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
We're gonna make it work out because you've got a
lot of people on the project, a lot of dope,
dope individual and not just on the project but in
the house with us right now. So to your best,
the best for your ability. Can you let us know
who's on this album. It's technically out right now, So
congratulations still that Yeah, we're celebrating right now.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Party in my living.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Room, Relatives cousins of relatives. I want you to talk
about the name of the project, who is featured on there,
who's contributed to the production, And you said this happened
a matter of three days, three days, twenty five twenty
one tracks. Yeah, bro, I don't know how you're gonna
break the shit down, but so I'm gonna hand you
the floor, and you know, you.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Can bring some folks to the mic and try to
get him in the camera as well.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
But talk about, you know, the project, who's on there,
who's been featured, who contributed to the production, and we
can go from there.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Okay, yeah, we gotta start with the producers.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, let's do that please.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
I gave you a piece of vinyl when we came
in here to Janna coffee and sign.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Right, so that's executive produced by Roe Boulevard. Right, I'm
having Mike real quick man.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
He's I don't want to get wait with the camera.
I don't like to be what a camera.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I test every idea with this guy.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
So yeah, n the coffee and time wouldn't have happened
the way it is without wrote shout out to rowe Man,
so you know I told him about this project, and
he was like, first he thought about it, he's like,
fucking him on board.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
But I let him speak.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
I let him speak to so I'll let you speak
on you know, your contributions and all that, and we
just kind of get everybody.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, yeah, step on to the to the left a
little bit right there, somebody that's obviously known thirds for
so many years. Obviously you've been a part of the
you and I story. Talk about this for you if
and I'm sure it is a full circle moment for
yourself to be a part of this project. And when he,
you know, brought to you the idea, how did you say, oh, yeah,
I got to.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Be involved in this.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (11:42):
It was interesting because at that time there was a
lot of a lot of talk around AI. So I
mean not trying to speak for everybody, but like for myself,
it was it was someone of a gray area because AI,
you know, we're musicians, were artists for writers, you know,
we're producers. And with Thurs he's always has the right

(12:04):
intention and and not only that, he's always seen things
like ten steps ahead. So when he said, like, yo,
he has sooner on board for this project, We're about
to get everyone in the studio.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
I was like all right.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
I was like, all right, so then just you know,
just the thought of it, and and you know, me
going into it knowing that I was going to be
around just high level talent, high level individuals, high level thinkers.
I was like, all right, cool, I'm just get go
there at the camp because it was like camp. It
felt like a basketball camp. You go there just like man,
like all these are all recruits you know about, you know,

(12:38):
probably signed to a college already or about to go
to a league of some sort.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
That's fucked up, homies crazy now.

Speaker 7 (12:50):
But you know, I went over there just you know,
just have my head down and just kept on working.
And just like everyone else, it was. It was a madhouse.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
You know.

Speaker 7 (12:56):
I think ascro we got a documentary on the way
right all so you look out for that too, because
that was crazy. Like everyone everybody was going in out studios.
We had producers set up in different places. And I
think with Thirst talking about going into this project or
going into the camp, he already had this in mind.
It was like just open up the floodgates, open up

(13:16):
the studios and see what happens. And what happened was crazy.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
So did you have in mind, like people that you
wanted to reach out to thirds like, Okay, I got
to get these people involved or was it just based
off of the relationships you had over throughout the years,
Like when you have this camp in mind, and I
don't know if you if specific people that you have
in mind, like yo, this person has to be here,
and I know how it goes when when you get
in the studio it's like, oh damn, well this person

(13:41):
can be contribute as well, or this person may have
fell through with so and so, Like how did how
did you? How were you able to manage so many
personalities artists, producers to kind of keep this concise within
three day because you had three days. So it's like,
how do you navigate through that?

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Man?

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Everybody that's slight top of mind?

Speaker 5 (14:00):
You know, I actually kind of just run through my
mind and I'm like, all right, who can do this?

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Who can do everything?

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Kind of specific who's like a specialist at a certain
part of their art? You know that can add a
different dynamic, you know, where songs are going to be
different based on their voice, sector, based on the writing,
you know, style, you know, based on what they do.
And I was like, all right, you know, I got
this whole team of people that's been rocking, coming to
different events that we do for party in my living room.

(14:26):
They've jumped on different records with me. So I was like,
everybody here I've worked with in some capacity or been
in the studio with, so I have like some level
of familiarity with everybody here.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
So I was like, all right, I'm gonna do a project.
This is the home team.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
So I got to get everybody that's involved to come
rock and on Yonder Caffre me and time. I had soundtrack,
you know, do a record on there. He did this
record called uh Love don't live here? Right and speaking
of like hoops and he looks like a hooper, right,
but he hoops.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
He who's by making beats?

Speaker 9 (14:58):
You know.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
So I have soundtrack.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And he just said, you got all that hype for
no reason. Damn it's crazy. You see what I'm saying.
She got you all that all that hype and no reason.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
That's wow, bro, Damn he said, he dunking on you
when it comes to the beast man. So, so soundtrack
when you when you get that call and and and
first of all, tell us what what your your response
was when he when he's trying to explain to you
this idea and you want to come down because.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
When he when he's come.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Over a little bit more, when he gives you that call, right,
come back down, Yeah, come back down right there? Yeah,
getting the seat, damn, like eight foot four and ship
you're still like six too, sitting down damn. But when
you get this call, when you get this call soundtrack, like,
first of all, what was that call and what were

(15:46):
your thoughts when he tells you about this idea?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
I mean, for me, I look at it.

Speaker 10 (15:50):
It's just you know, I feel like it's just work,
you know, So he called whatever he called me for,
I'm I'm holding up, you know instantly. I mean because
again we've built this relationship. It since I've been coming
to La. I'm from the Bay from Oakland, so but
coming down here. Yeah, we've always recorded at the crib,
just doing records and stuff. That's how that record spawned on,
you know, his album. But yeah, he just called me

(16:11):
to come through and I'm like, okay, let's let's get
it done.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
So with that, when you're calling him, is it like
specific for particular tracks? And like what's the skeleton idea
of you know, the the idea of like songs that
you guys say, is it all right, Look we're gonna
work on a bachelor records or I have something specific
in mind that I need you to do, like talk.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
About that conversation that you got.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Had so with the reason.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
You know, obviously he's incredible producer, but the speed and
quality of what he does with shopping, like he's like
a chop specialist.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Right.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
So I'm like the premise of the project is to
create samples from suno Ai and they had producers chopping.
So I'm like this, this guy chops better than like
not even sent it like people you know that are sampling.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
So I was like, better samples, better better than Yeah,
that's crazy, pretty said right now.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'm pretty decent.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Hey, look I done.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Look at the YouTube, you know, I.

Speaker 10 (17:09):
I mean ship, I just did a rhythm relate the masters.
You can check.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
You can check that out that you go a few
other things, check the fact.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (17:18):
But nah, man, I you know I come from sampling.
I come from soul you know, o these you know,
digging for records and things like that. So for me,
it was like it was a no brainer. You know,
because what it's capable of doing is kind of, you know,
getting inspired or influenced by that sound that I love.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
So that's what I was, I.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
Guess, brought in for you know, to put the soul,
you know what I'm saying, bring the soul into you know,
the whole program.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
So you got you, So you say you got the
soul in there? And for you again production wise, like
what's your after you? Like, I feel like it's you're
putting together this. I don't even know what to call it,
but you got this gumbo pot and it's like, Okay,
I got this, ingreded, I got this, agreed, What was
the next thought of mind?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
And who do you want to bring in? At that point?

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Next from was Mail and his cousin's Eastie Boys. Right,
Mail is like a technician on the drums man, like
he chopped shit crazy too, but like his drum programming
is like he was going into his own world where
he like he might not even talk to you. He's
just into the beat and he's just like what the
fuck are you doing?

Speaker 11 (18:19):
Mail?

Speaker 4 (18:19):
But he's just over there going crazy.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Right So, and then his cousins, the Eastie Boys, they
got you know, Bangers upon Bangers with Blast and a
whole bunch of great artists that they're working with. So
I'm like, they have a specific West Coast sound that's
going to amplify what we're doing here. Rod's gonna give
me specific elements that nobody else is going to do.
You know, DK to Punisher is going to be DK.
Nobody's gonna nobody sounds like each other right crisis very

(18:43):
specific he chops, you know, they chopping a similar vein,
but they're very specific with their drums. So you know,
Eastie Boys and Mail Beats were the next in mind
to like, you know, bring into this monster of a
production crew and Mono Maury very specific, right, and I
might be am I missing anybody? Who else is sho

(19:04):
Chuck English? You got production on there? Yeah, it sounds
like there we go.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'm playing to make sure.

Speaker 10 (19:12):
You right right and then and then too spe how
they came together me getting with the East Boys because
in that game time I have to sew sample and
I was like, man, I should I have to sample
this saw sample? And I was like, man, I should
give it to them and see what they do because me,
I'm like, I'm I'm you know, I'm a team player. Yeah,
I'm gonna pass the ball when I need to. So
I'm like, they can get this done better than I.

(19:33):
I could do it too, but I'm like they are
very efficient in that area. So I'm like, let me
just pass the rock to them, and they cooked up
the game time.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Easty boys, come quick, East Boys, quick man beats.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
I need you guys to explain working with so many
people obviously bangers on bangers. We can go down the resume, right,
but how has this experience been different than any other
experience that you guys have kind of like put together
and collectively the like, how how has this experience been
different from what you guys have done before? And make
sure you kind of come down a little bit so
you get to the cap.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Okay, cool?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (20:07):
It was actually like synchronic in a way because we
was already like really getting in as soon know, we
was really excited, and when he put this together, I
kind of I called him and was like you got
to be there, and you gotta be there because we
already been having these conversations of what the possibilities with
with this particular platform was so and then it was

(20:27):
perfect quick with this guy because he's good at conceptualizing.
And you know when we when we get together, it's
really like we already know it's something were formulating, something
like we bringing something together coagulating. It's not like we
just you know, we're doing something that's that's special every
time we're with and everybody in here.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So specifically when it comes to like the AI and
the technology as producers, why, i mean Thirst kind of
gave us his reasoning as an artist, why he doesn't
run for that and lean into as producers?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Why do you guys kind of have that same thought process.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's like, yeah, let's use the technology that we have
and use it to our advantage versus kind of shining
away from it and kind of you know, letting major
corporations or whoever kind of jump on board.

Speaker 12 (21:12):
I'm gonna use the analogy I heard Jay Pounds saying
when he was there.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
He was like, do you want your food cooked or
you want to cook it?

Speaker 12 (21:21):
So it's like for for Sono, it's another it's another
tool in the kitchen. Some that can do something that's like,
all right, what's the most things that spend the most
time when you're in the kitchen. I like to compare
making pieces cooking in the kitchen. It's like cooking cooking.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Prep work.

Speaker 12 (21:38):
When you cutting up the onions and doing that. You
spend a lot of time doing that, and then the
cooking party is like the fastest part. So Suno can
help you kind of do those individual pieces a little
bit quicker and kind of if you working on a concept,
you can conceptualize a little bit. You know, well, so
the end the bad part of that is you when

(22:04):
you take all of that and you don't put nothing
into it. You just say, do that, let's do it.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Right, right right, which a lot of people that's the
misconception when it comes to AI.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
It's just like the copy and pastes, give it the.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Prompt and let it go and not do anything to it,
which a lot of people tell you is like that's okay,
but that's not what it's for. You're supposed to put
Even at the basis of chat GBT is like Chad
GBD spit some shit out for you. Pause, but it's
like you got to put your own so you got
to put your own twist to it.

Speaker 12 (22:30):
A lot of people who don't even make music going
there myself, but a lot of people that don't even
make music going there and be like, oh, this is dope.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
I made this dope.

Speaker 12 (22:40):
Thing, and they think that I made this part to
be really like I made music, which is I guess
in this technology it is true, but they miss it
the whole part of making music, which is the whole
thing of making music.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'll tide, We'll try this last part into it, ec boys.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I would love to get your response to it's was
the most challenging part about this whole process? It was
it was it different at all from what you guys
have done before or is it like no, we stepped
in the here knocked it out as normal. But I
would still love to hear if there were any challenges
and if so, what were those challenges and how you
navigated through that.

Speaker 13 (23:15):
I mean, like he said, I was already working with
sooner though before this whole thing, so I kind of
got used to everything before we already had to heads up. Yeah,
so I mean that's why he called me to come
or whatever. But I mean, I mean I don't see no.
I mean a lot of the things that they were
showing us already knew kind of like answering.

Speaker 14 (23:33):
Challenges said again, it's just more so making it your own,
more soldiers making it your own, just you know what
I'm saying, trying to still have that creativity, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
What I'm saying, even though it is AI.

Speaker 14 (23:46):
You know what I'm saying, So you still got to
take it and do your own thing with it, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yeah, I was gonna say, because it's like, if you
can and I'm not too familiar with the whole process,
but I could imagine that if you can create a
prop or have a prop, it does half the work
that you would normally have to do. It's like, oh man,
this is okay. It takes the stressful.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Part out of it.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
But how do you not get lazy in that sense
of like oh ship, but I can really just tell
it to do what I needed to do and kind
of keep it pushing from there and nobody would actually
really know.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
But you know, yeah, listen, creative, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 14 (24:24):
It's like for me at least you know what I'm
for me at least, like you know, I'm big on
keys and big on instrumentation, so it's like I'm not
finna just let Aii do it for me when I
know I could do it myself.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
That's just me personally, but I can't do what they
can do.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Hard fact.

Speaker 12 (24:44):
Well, the one thing that I think is cool, it's
like it's like, Okay, what if I want to do
something that ain't like that don't exist?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
What's the problem for that?

Speaker 12 (24:56):
So I'm looking at something that I'm looking for, something
that maybe it's not even in a prompt, it's just
how I'm approaching being creative. Something is going to happen
in a way that I'm pushing the thing to think,
like like if I see that this is the thresholder
soon though, I'm thinking what the hell is on the
other side of the thresholder?

Speaker 3 (25:17):
So I love that way of thinking also, and it
kind of ties back into a third said earlier, And
I do want you to I want you to get
into because we talked about the production right now, I
want you to get into the artistry.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
But one thing that you said.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
And it's all a part of party in my living,
when you said a happy accident, right, and it ties
into a male just said, it's like there are no
props for some shit.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
You don't know what it's going to be you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
So I think that's a beautiful way of kind of
like tying it in from people that are you know,
apprehensive about AI and how to use it.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
You know, of course, there's.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Nothing perfect about the situation, so there's things that still
need to you know, gotta fix, fix the kinks or whatever.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
But artistry rising. Now you got the foundation of producer.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Oh we still got to talk about third Party two.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Third Party, Yeah, they're here too, so I want to
make sure they get to but what you're talking about too,
A right, so, and third party is my little my
younger brother and my cousin. Right So they've been DJing
et Coachella, and you know they're producing.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
They produce a few records for me.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
So I wanted to make sure they're involved in this
process because they have great ideas, and I let them
speak on this too. But what I see that the
advantage provides tool wise is that AI almost gives you
customized presets. Every piece of hardware and software comes with presets.
But if you have that idea that's outside of the
threshold or whatever it is, you're able to give a

(26:37):
prompt that's going to create all these different presets and
you can manipulate that to your liking and explot it,
you know, stem it out, throw it into your doll
and then it's just that.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Then you go above the threshold, right, So I can
let them kind of speak on.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Their process and you know, their contributions to the project.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Third party nepotism, baby do it.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
First of all, let's talk about that, because I think
that's important, like, you know, using the connections.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
That you have in your resources that are around you.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
First of all, I want to know how long have
you guys been making music in djaying and how long
did it take for him to finally start listening? Like, Okay,
y'all got something yet, let's let's make it happen, like
y'all y'all can contribute to the whole process.

Speaker 11 (27:19):
Well, I think I've been making music for probably about
like eight years now, and how long you've been.

Speaker 13 (27:24):
Like we've been I've been making music for like eight
years apart dj for like three years now.

Speaker 11 (27:30):
We just started DJing like for taking it serious and yeah,
I think it was like the whole thing about this camp.
I think it was cool because I've been wanting to
work with like a lot of these artists for like
a minute, and just having this whole camp and like
the whole three day process, like everybody together, it was
easy to listen, knock out like all those features. You know,
I got to work with the airplane. I want to
work with him fat wrong, you know, just everybody, everybody

(27:53):
that's here.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
So was it overwhelming at all? Again, again not knowing the.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Processes that you've dealt with before, but then this situation
being under the deadline of three days and having so
many artists and other producers in the buildings.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
As well, was it overwhelming at all? Or what did
you guys? Just kind was it a natural process for
the both of you?

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, I feel like it was pretty natural.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (28:12):
I feel like we knocked out like a lot of
songs within like the first day too, like the first
couple of days.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Honestly, Yeah, everybody was really working. It was more fun,
like there's no pressure. Yeah, yeah, there's like no pressure,
so it was all fun.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
What did what did you learn about yourselves as creatives
throughout this whole process, being around different people, probably seeing
how other people work. Did you pick up different tools
and keys from different people or I like this, like
talk about some of those things as well.

Speaker 11 (28:39):
It was definitely a lot of that seeing how other
people produced, because I know that we me and him
worked together like all the time. You know, it's good
to see. Like I would always listen to like blast music.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I didn't know.

Speaker 11 (28:49):
Eastie Boys was like their producer, their producers and everything,
and then we have to finally collab with them and
see how they work, you know, So it just you know,
it just gave us some more inspiration.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Did did Airplane James h introduce you to his writers?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
No himself, But how was that being with something somebody
that you wanted to work with and actually locking in
and getting the whole process down with with them as well?

Speaker 11 (29:23):
It was cool, Like I feel like it happened like
a lot like I happened like every single day, Like
I never worked with your mon o mar and I
got like some beats to him and then soundtrack too.
I've been listening to his stuff for like a minute,
so it's just like it's just back to back to back,
Like we just go.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
From room to the room, and I just like to
make it. We make it be here.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
Somebody get on this being and go to this room,
make it have to be here, and it just back
and forth, back and forth.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
So it was it was a cool process. I'm ready
for the next one already.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Damn he's talking about aout you two Thursday. All right, well,
I appreciate all y'all pulling up.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
We're gonna keep it moving with with Is there any
more producers that we didn't mention that?

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Obviously? I know the ones that are here. Let everybody down.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Everybody that's here, the are the street artistry, artistry.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Man, talk to me about you know.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I like how you you reached out to Row first, right,
that's that's an integral part of this thing.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
That's the day one and I got it's no pressure.
But who was the first person you reached out?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Artists wise, was like, oh yeah, I gotta have this
person here right next to me as we start this
thing off.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
So everything so look, so fat Run has been every
party in my living room, absolutely every party in my
liver room.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Say, he's my first call.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
Every time I text him, he takes like a data
to text me back because he always changing his number.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Man, you better than me. You change your number three
times with me. I'm not saving it no more.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
No fa Ron already got a new number. So when
I text him, I'm like, is it.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Blue or is it green?

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Right?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Foremost right it was blue, and I was like, you
know what, let me just call him. I called him up.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
I was like, Hey, we're about to do this camp.
So he's been rocking at every part of my living room.
He's on like a lot of songs with me. So
he's the first person I called to, you know, come
pull up and contribute.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Man.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
So and.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
That Ron is here.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, the most important question I got for you is
why you change your numbers so much?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Bro? All right, look what happened was this way.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
First of all, God is good, okay all the time?

Speaker 15 (31:17):
Start there and then you know, you know this way
talk about back phones, you know, and they're like close.
You know, you know what I'm saying, I'm not really
at the end of the day, it's about getting to me.
It ain't about how you get to me, about.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Talk about the experience of creating. This is somebody you've
known for years. But when he talks about this camp,
like are you open for them? Of course you're open
for the idea, but it's like when we talk to
you about this process, like what's your thoughts, because I
feel like Thursday is always come up with different ideas
and things. Uh So, is it just like, oh, there's
just another no pun into, there's just another thirds thirds
idea thirst movement, this is just Thurs Or is it

(31:52):
like damn okay, I can see this being something completely different?

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Like what's your thought process? When we first hit you.

Speaker 15 (31:57):
It was literally both though, because you know, I am
used to me and mean, like, yo, we got this
going on.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, like you know, I know what it is.

Speaker 15 (32:04):
But when I when I got the idea, I was like,
it's gonna be dope bringing it together all.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
These dope said he got the idea that, yeah, I
got that idea taking a whole really like real life.

Speaker 15 (32:14):
Though I heard all the people the idea was bringing
all these different artists together with these different producers.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
I'm like, oh, yeah, that's gonna be a banger, like
no doubt. So I was excited about it for sure.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
So how do you challenge yourself? Uh again, being under
the deadline of three days and typically how how long
did it take for you to create versus and create
music and things of that nature. What were you challenged
by being under under the deadline, Like that or that's
just normally you how you create No.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Well, first of all, tequila exists.

Speaker 15 (32:41):
Okay, that's numeroal versus foremost it's here with it's on earth.
So you know, that was definite, definitely one of the
things I took and I used.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
That as a tool, like he said, damn soon though
I got was overset my problem.

Speaker 15 (32:55):
So now that I ain't go lie though, we definitely
was putting them shots to But outside of that, like
my old strategy was coming here was like let me
put some paint where it ain't because you know, I'm
walking through rooms, so I'm like, okay, like what y'all
working on.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I'm hearing they doing this over here.

Speaker 15 (33:07):
I'm like versus just crazy, Okay, like let me can
I how can we put this together?

Speaker 2 (33:11):
You know what I'm saying, my little ingredient to it.

Speaker 15 (33:13):
So that was my whole goal is just to come
in there and put so you know, I'm on the
gang of songs. That was really it's really just walking
in the room real quick, off the three shots. You
you know what I'm saying, taking another shot where everybody's like,
y'all want.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
What all right, let's do it? Doing that then we're
going to the next room.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
What has it been like for you to kind of
watch the evolution of not only Thirds, but this brand
and being being a part of the riot as well,
and you know, contributed to it being a part of them,
like you said, and just naturally evolving throughout that process.

Speaker 15 (33:39):
So basically, I'm over proud of thirdshimself and just the
whole branded party in my living room because, like you
said earlier, I was there at the first one. If
I'm mistaken, I grabbed the mic during it wooldwork performance
your shot, I will work boy, sir, But yeah, they
was performing. You know, I was there for the first
one and I just kept riding away. And I've seen

(34:00):
everything grow from obviously up to Coachella. You know what
I'm saying like, which is, you know, we can't really
get no bigger than that when it come to festival.
So you know, I watched the whole ground and yeah,
I'm a problem probably the brand.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Where's being love that? Man?

Speaker 3 (34:12):
So Thirds man, next call like, whould you who'd you
hit up next? What was what was the next call
that She's like, ya, I gotta get this person involved.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
So we got a big.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Group chat okay, all right, So I probably got like
three group chats. All right, I know you're right, you're right,
but for each song, those are new, those are new
that we have to.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Get splits together. That's crazy, that is crazy, right.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
But I don't want everybody to be blowing up, you know,
getting they ship blown up to see what we're talking
about split lines.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
So I hit the group chat.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
You know, this initial group chat most people that was
rocking at Coachella, right, So Coco's in there, airplanes in there,
and then you know, after I speak with Reezy, I'm like,
all right, yo, this is what's happening. It blew the
fucking chat out. Everybody had like different opinions and we
did like a zoom call and everything on it.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
It was kind of it was hilarious, but it was dope,
right because.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Did you document that process too?

Speaker 4 (35:11):
I should have. I should have.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
So next person Coco had pulled out, right, she was like,
she called me on the side, she was like, yo,
I'm with it, I'm with the ships.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
And she had to go there? Did she had to
go to Korea?

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I don't remember.

Speaker 16 (35:28):
I was in Korea and I had to take a plate.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Okay, international come.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Talk to talk to the people. When you got the call,
I love you know what I love the most that
she called him on Look, I'm I'm on this. But
when you when you when you see the group chat
blow up.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
And I'm assuming you said the zoom was after that
or before when she gave you a call?

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Did you call him before the after this after? So?
What was that? What was that?

Speaker 3 (35:55):
What inspired you to give him a call on the
side and let him know like, okay, yeah, I'm with
this sure, versus just kind of letting things mature the
way it was gonna mature.

Speaker 17 (36:03):
I think it was important that I voiced the things
that bothered me about it, you know, yeah about because
at the time, you know, it's under litigation, it's messed up,
and people got people beats and the ship is good.

Speaker 16 (36:14):
Christ and so and so and so and so.

Speaker 17 (36:18):
As artists were all individual brands, and naturally we're gonna
be concerned about what that looks like in association.

Speaker 16 (36:25):
That's one. Two. I already know about Suno.

Speaker 17 (36:28):
So I'm I'm interested into anything tech all the time.
I'm like always interested in that and anything that's moving
creativity forward.

Speaker 16 (36:36):
I feel like.

Speaker 17 (36:39):
I felt like when cars came out. Niggas who was
selling horses was tight.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
It was hot. They gonna get around with.

Speaker 16 (36:46):
What they was hot.

Speaker 17 (36:48):
It was hot, and somebody had to figure out how
to All right, I'm gonna move with the times and
figure out how I can still be a part of this.
Maybe I'm gonna give a nigga a ride on a
horse to the car dealership. You got to figures, you know,
And so, you know, after talking about it, I'm like,
how are My question for him was like, how do
we make sure we're keeping the humanity in this and
that that's documented. So when people ask questions about what

(37:10):
we're doing, why we're doing it? What about if they're like, oh,
now everything you do you're using AI, It's like, hold on,
I'm really nice. We do this all of us, right,
And so I think that that was my question, like
what does this look like, you know, optic wise? And
I'm trusting you as my brother who understands and loves
us and cares about what we're doing and understand that
this is really some cool shit to be a part of,

(37:31):
you know, Like, how do we you know, make that
make sense? And he's like, well, we're going to document
the whole thing, so people can see how artists can
use it, you know, we people can see how it
can be a tool. And then I have knowledge about
it already, so then I'm like, oh, yeah, bet let
me tell you we could do this, this, this, and
this too. And I haven't gotten a chance to do that.
And lastly, I fucking I fuck with everybody here. We

(37:54):
donet been in all sorts of spaces together, partying and performing,
and you know, so now we get to create together.
It's like really being with your cousins when y'all going
at walk somebody said it in the group chat and
come back smelling like smoke. It's like that, right, But
you were excited about it because you get to do
it for a couple of days. So when he called
me to do it, I knew I had to take

(38:14):
a flight. I pushed like my trip back like an
extra day, just so I could like be you know,
make sure I could be there.

Speaker 16 (38:21):
And I think I.

Speaker 17 (38:22):
Had like four hours at the top of the camp,
like soon as it started, I have four hours to
like get in and do something. And I started going
from room in the room and seeing what was going on.
And then we got I sat down with the people,
and it was like, what about if I want to
upload a voice memo I have because now this is
starting an opposite way because everybody's still warming up. But

(38:42):
I just got there, and I know I got like
two minutes or forty five seconds in his bitch and
I gotta go right sorry, y'all like curse a lot.
So So uploaded a voice memo into it from twenty
nineteen and the reps from his name was CJ. Right, Yeah,
he's sitting there. He's like, well, this is how you
would do that. I guess it's underpainting, but technically it
can't just show me how that.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Worked, you know.

Speaker 17 (39:02):
So uploaded it, wrote in the prompt and to see
what happens. And when it popped out, it was like, oh,
throw it, throw it in pro tools right now, like
because now I got I have, you know, it has
that little piece of the hook and now my brain
is gone for freestyles. But then we got Eastie Boys,
we got mel we got Third Party, we got Hugh Augustine,
we got You're gonna be all in the room just rocking,

(39:24):
and they're taking it and bending it and flipping it
and like all of the things, right there in the
so so while it started with a voice memo that
I had in the idea, the production grew with these
beautiful people in the room and Hugh I'm sitting there
just reestyling.

Speaker 16 (39:40):
He was like, yeah, you figure I can hop on it.

Speaker 17 (39:42):
And I'm like, yeah, come on, like you know, if anything,
I think it was like probably one of the first
songs that got done or started at the camp because
I knew I had to leave, Like so I'm.

Speaker 16 (39:52):
Like pushing it back, pushing it, pushing it.

Speaker 17 (39:53):
Like my flight leaves it like forty I was late,
by the way, I missed that flight.

Speaker 16 (39:59):
I missed the fuck out flight.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
I missed.

Speaker 16 (40:01):
I missed the flight. I got on the next one.

Speaker 17 (40:02):
Not I was like, it's crazy some episodes the uber
car accent.

Speaker 16 (40:06):
Oh god help me right, and they put me on
the next one. But that's what it was.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Out of three days, you were there for only four hours.

Speaker 16 (40:13):
Yeah, wow, Yeah, the first one.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
I was still able to contribute in other ways based
off of like voice notes or you were just in
and out for four hours.

Speaker 17 (40:19):
It was like in and out and because I had
to leave town so quickly, and.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Oh yeah, it's three days, right, exactly.

Speaker 17 (40:25):
So for me and I, we we know each other.
We met aftermath, you know, working with Dre and so
we and we were in the in the same studio
where we worked for for like two years, right, so
it would be like that where there was producers in
every single room and I used to hop around to
every room. So the whole time I'm walking out the door,
I was like, you got said track got.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
James.

Speaker 17 (40:52):
That's the first thing I told him was I wanted
to do a regular but I didn't just to But yeah,
that's what it was.

Speaker 16 (40:57):
It was an amazing experience.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
That was a lot of man and being that you've
had multiple experiences like this, how how was this different
than any other experience? And actually my question is did
you walk away with any reservations after the fact that
after all those things you've voiced and was like, man,
I want to make sure this, this and this.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Did you walk away like damn?

Speaker 3 (41:18):
I really kind of wish that we still incorporated this
or did you walk away like damn? Actually this is
I have no no reservations anymore at this point.

Speaker 17 (41:26):
Whatever reservations I had, I checked them before I agreed
to come. So when I called them on the side
whatever my reservation was, like I told you, I said it, Hey, bro,
this is how I feel. This is what I'm thinking,
and this is in protection of not just me, but
you as a brand and what that means.

Speaker 16 (41:41):
So what does that look like?

Speaker 17 (41:42):
And how do we make sure that you know that's
the you know that's what it is, and so it
at that point it's like.

Speaker 16 (41:47):
I trust you, I trust the team.

Speaker 17 (41:50):
And I'm about to have mad fun, Like I'm with
my brothers and my six like, this is about to
be fun. You're not thinking about it like work at
that point, because then it takes the creativity of it
when you're starting to think about all that other shit.
It's like, let's go and have fun and make some
fly shit. And then by the time everything came together
he sent me the whole project, I'm like, this is
I got jams for these niggas.

Speaker 16 (42:10):
Was going nuts and I missed all that.

Speaker 17 (42:14):
But at the same time, it's like, yeah, so my
reservations they were voiced already, and so now it's like,
all right, this is what the documentary is gonna look like,
and hey, you want to see it.

Speaker 16 (42:25):
This is what we got so far.

Speaker 17 (42:26):
How you feel about what was captured, but it's said
what He's not making it a dictatorship in that way.
He understands and respects everyone's talent and what you're doing individually.
And so because of that one you, I'm gonna save
what I need to say. And two he on the
same wave like, yeah, let's let's move culture forward in
this way, and let's also let's bring out people together.

(42:49):
Let's partner with these big because party when I think
about it, because I'm from Brooklyn, right, So that's another thing.
I've been here for seven years, and so I got
family here.

Speaker 16 (42:58):
I'm all over. I'm mean, yeah, I'm saying I love
it here. People they know, you know.

Speaker 17 (43:03):
But at the same time, I understand that there's a
culture that existed here before I got here, you know,
and these people that have these relationships before I got here.
Now after seven years, it's my family too. We go
together real bad, you know. So it's reservations at this point.
I'm not worried as much as I was, as long

(43:23):
as we have the documented showcasing of the effort and
the energy and the real artistry that's put into what
we all do and how it's presented to the world
and it's.

Speaker 16 (43:34):
A tool, just like just like it's a duel exactly.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
You know, so thurs Man hearing that from somebody that
you obviously respect and wanted to come in and you know,
and I want to get your response on when when
she's telling you these like these reservations that she's having
in the back of your mind where you're like, oh, no,
we already got that taken care of, or like, oh
damn you right, I didn't consider this. I didn't consider that.
I'm gonna definitely bring that to the table and kind

(43:58):
of figure out what's going on, And how do you
feel now that her reservations are at ease and that
level of trust is there? And I'm sure not just
for her, but for everybody involved that they're putting this
in your hands to say, yo, I know you got us.
You know what I'm saying, That level of trust is there.
So how does that that feel for yourself?

Speaker 11 (44:17):
Now?

Speaker 5 (44:18):
It was I feel like everything is a conversation away.
So I'm like, yeah, let's over communicate, you know, let's
like put everything on the table. And I'm already thinking
like what could be the pros or cons from every situation?
So I play stuff out of my head sometimes, you know,
sometimes I overthink. Sometimes I shoot from the hip, right, right,
So rog gets mad at me when I shoot from
the hip. I'm like, I got to get out of

(44:39):
my way sometimes, right. So I imagine what everybody's want to say, right,
And so you know, I was able to communicate what
I thought people's reservations were going to be, and then
you know, they would confirm, you know what, I would
assume that they were thinking, right, and then they would
kind of go more into depth on what they wanted
to voice. But I'm like, yo, this is what the
intention is done. You know, We're we're not just saying, yo,

(45:02):
make the.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Art for us.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
We're all gonna do what we do. We're just gonna
use this as a tool. It's make generative AI, you know,
sample bits. We're just gonna chop it up like all
our producer homies usually do, and we're gonna rap the
best that we could wrap, make sing the best we
could sing, and you know, no expectations, you know.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
So one thing that she brought up, Coco was talking
about the situation with with Suno, and it's been the
headlines and timbling, right, So I'm curious to know that
were you creating this prior to that situation happened or
was that all happening at the same time.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
That's happening at the same time, So what the.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Fuck is going through your mind? When you see the
headline yourself, you're like, guys, what the fuck are you doing?
I got niggas and coming to the captain, we got
twenty five tracks were working on what are we doing
right now?

Speaker 1 (45:51):
So I wouldn't mean.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Craze yea.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
And I want to know the responses from the artists
in real time when when they're telling this, because I'm.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Assuming that people are okay with the thought.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
But then as this is happened, and it's like, yo, suiting,
what do you see?

Speaker 4 (46:06):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (46:07):
What timbo? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (46:08):
And Playing will tell you, Playing will tell you. It
was a non stop.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
I'm like, how many how many quotes or how many
means y'all gonna send me?

Speaker 4 (46:19):
It was funny as hell, you know, That's what we do.

Speaker 5 (46:21):
We clown like it's never it can be serious, but
it's never gonna be too serious.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
We're always gonna laugh, you know. But we all shared
the same sentiment.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
But we were like, yo, we control the narrative, you know,
like the only shit is gonna come out if we
feel good about it, you know, if we're able to,
you know, convey that we want to convey.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
So you're like, look, ain't we're gonna tuck this mother ya.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
I got it.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
I got so much ship that I ain't put out,
Like I'm not comfortable yet we're putting it out, certain
things out, But that's kind of what the mindset was there.
I'm like, if everybody's comfortable, we're gonna push forward. And
I'm like, this is the intention behind it. And then
I let play speak on some of that ship too.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Man.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
He was he was like just with it. He was like,
fuck it, I'm with it. I'm there. I'm there.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
So plain man. I know you you would. That's one
of the things I credited you with. One of the
last conversations we had. I said, you're playing is one
of the funniest motherfuckers that you guys probably would never know.
I feel you've been doing a lot. You're doing a
lot better lately as far as showcasing your personality in
that sense. So when you get this call and then
obviously it's kind of like overlapping with the headlines, what

(47:31):
are your thoughts, bro.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
Well, we had like a zoom call. I had that
on mute.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
We had a zoom call and everybody's just going back
and forth and then shut and stirs is like, man,
if we don't like it, but don't gotta put it
out my show.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
I'm like, yeah, what he said.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
Man, We're gonna do this ship and if we don't
like it, we beat that.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
So when you get that call, th like uh.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
And not only the but then being in the environment
of being in front of so many creatives. One thing
that I know that you're used to is kind of
working under the deadline you talked about, you know, the
the what was the term that you Hell we over
at Diamond Lane, So how did this compare to that?

Speaker 1 (48:16):
And did that training from hell we kind of help
with this?

Speaker 4 (48:19):
Hell yeah, that's what was fun.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
Like I was trying to see like like me and
me and Hugh Augustine, we start having like a little competition.
I'm like, wait, which room you going there? I just
did that one over there. I'm like, I'm finna go
over there and get on that one.

Speaker 11 (48:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
Yeah, Well we was racking them up. I ain't gonna lie,
I'm probably gonna like, damn, there eighty percent of the song.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
I ain't even gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
I seen the track list. I'm like, damn, planing flank, plank, plank.
I'm gonna say it's a Thursdy plane project was going on.

Speaker 5 (48:48):
It was not even like it was just like man,
we was getting doing.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Yeah, but but that experience.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Has it been different than anything that you've been a
part of or do you like, is it similar to
those hell weeks or that?

Speaker 12 (49:00):
Like?

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Nah, actually this is a little different in the sense of.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
Well and the hell He's like I was always like
the little homie, like right here, I felt like I arrived.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
I'm I'm a big dog.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Want to work a plane.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Not like that.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
I'm just saying like I'm trying to real quick, like
being able to walk in the room, like, yep, I
got some of this. Yep, I got some of this. Yep,
I got some of this. I'm fucking with it, I'm
looking with it.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Was it any challenging moments that you had to deal
with throughout this whole process, aside from being apprehensive of
like okay yo, this don't sound right or this ethically
isn't right.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Than you know, any other challenges.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Aside from that, Nah, I didn't feel like work at all.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
It was just like chilling with the homies and then
like a lot of them, like you know, I've been
one to work with, so we all in the same
room were able to work on own shit and like
all contribute.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
You know what this reminds me of, like as you
guys are talking about it and just just looking at
see the camera can't pan to everybody's faces, which is
kind of unfortunate. That's why I want to give everybody
some some a little bit of time. Is the the
the joy and the sparkle that you see from people
as you guys are talking about this and you guys
reminiscing on stories, it reminds me of like I, of
course I wasn't there at the time, but it's reminiscent

(50:10):
of what I hear about the when people when when
the chronicle was made. Right, It's like you hear the
stories of everybody in this studio going back, or just
even the Death Road stories before niggas getting asked peak
of shit, right, you know, none of that, I'm sure
you just hear. You just hear the camaraderie between artists
and you know, going back and forth and challenging each other.

(50:32):
I got something better for this, all we can do
this and how things particularly happen.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Do you think that more artists should work that way?

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Do you think that's beneficial or do you think moving
forward a lot of projects should be made that way?
Or is it kind of like yo to each his own?
You know, if you want to create by yourself, create
by yourself. I just feel like that there's a magic
and energy with a lot of people like that.

Speaker 5 (50:52):
I think the synergy you get from like building with
everybody in the room, there's nothing like that. You feel
me like you need people like there was this moment
where uh, mom was like he was like kind of
like telling everybody he ain't doing it right.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
He ain't doing the song right.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
He was he was taking niggas off songs. He like no, no,
So in my mind, I'm like, he ain't gonna tell
me to but I'm nervous. I got something for it,
got an eight, pulled my ship out of doing He
was like, yeah, say that, that's how you're supposed to.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
Come on, man, I'm Paul.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
That was crazy, but I'm like, yeah, I love the room, like, yeah,
you feel me.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
He ain't take me off of he took you off.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
That's crazy, pull off do that. No, But I like that.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
I like the synergy part of it because I think
that that's important. Again, you don't really hear too many
stories like that, and so I'm glad that you guys
had that experience and against similar everybody's kind of saying
the same thing.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
So who's who's up here?

Speaker 4 (52:01):
I talked to Hugh. Yeah, he was going crazy.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
He was going crazy in there.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
The plane and show Man and you.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Hugh was no stranger to the homegrown platform as well. Man,
and I love that you were a part of this
as well. You posted something I believe it was today
about artistry, right, and the amount of time it takes
for an artist to put out there the body of
work or just what they have, and you know, people
respecting that. So for somebody being around creatives and somebody

(52:32):
the intentionality of thirds, like putting this together and seeing
how much you know the intention is there, Like what
were your thoughts going into it and then what reservations
did you have walking into it? And were your reservations
ease coming out of this process?

Speaker 6 (52:46):
I mean Thirds texting me I wasn't on that zoom
call thirst hit me I think it was the night
before and was like, Yo, are you available tomorrow? Like
we're doing this camp this weekend? Can you come? And
I was like, well, what day should I come? Should
I come Saturday? Sunday?

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Friday?

Speaker 4 (53:03):
Like what he was like, just come tomorrow. So I
pulled up.

Speaker 6 (53:08):
On Friday, not really knowing exactly the premise of the
Suno thing, but I already knew CJ and he put
me onto Suno like a month or two before that,
so I knew what was up. But I still was like, Okay,
like how's this going to work? Cause it's so many
people in the room. They're kind of doing like a tutorial,

(53:29):
and I'm a kind of guy who, like, am I
get in the studio, I'm just like ready to wrap
if the beat is hard, like I'm ready to go. So,
you know, being in the room with all these dudes,
it kind of just made it easy whatever reservations I had, Like,
as soon as somebody started making a beat, It's like
it just felt like a normal session.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Got you Yeah again, that that energy that that you
know we were talking about in the competitiveness talk about
that from your perspective, like you going back and forth
to listening, You're like, oh man, I got something for
that on every single thing, or like how was how
was yours?

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (54:06):
I mean at a certain point I was like, all right,
I think I'm doing too much, you know, like you.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
Yeah, I don't know. I ended up being there every day.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
I was showing up like before niggas, you know, I
was showing up to the studio like first nigga, they
are getting apart.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
They didn't even know it was parking in the back.
I was pulling up to the studio like it was
my it was my shit.

Speaker 6 (54:27):
But yeah, I mean when you're in the studio with
people that really do this for their life, they're not
playing with it, it makes you rise to a certain level.
And then I'm naturally just a competitor. So being there
with somebody like fat Roun June, like they're gonna bring
so much energy, something that's completely different than like what

(54:47):
I bring because I'm like a lyricist and like that,
and then playing is gonna come with like the crazy melodies,
and then cakes is gonna come with like the woman
perspective that none of us are you know. So sometimes
there was tracks where I was the only person in
the room because a lot of times I looked up
and everybody's bouncing around, and I'm like, well shit, I'm

(55:09):
just gonna stay in here and lock in. But there
was a lot of times where it was just like
an idea would pop off because Ron would sing something,
or you know, somebody's doing a melody, and then I
just start writing, you know, I just start writing, and
I'm just getting inspired by all the energy that's flowing
in the room.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
And I don't know, I feel like we were all.

Speaker 6 (55:30):
Like playing in the championship, you know, because it also
is yours my first time doing anything like on record
with party in my living room too, so I felt like,
you know, there's a lot of compilations or collaborations or
lists in LA, you know, so many things where you

(55:51):
could say like if you weren't a part of this,
you were not a part of like LA hip hop
or the scene or whatever. And when he hit me
to be a part of this, I was like I
need to be there. I need to show out because
this is one of those things where nobody can do
the revisionist history on like Hugh Augustine's contribution to LA
music and hip hop because I know, even if they

(56:13):
didn't see all the ship from my past, any of
my ship in the future, if they tap in on this,
they're gonna get like a full spectrum of me and
you know, all the different styles because they definitely got
Ratchet Hugh on the party in my Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
Now thirdst talk about that as well, man, just making
sure that you know there's a somewhat of a balance,
like it's not just you know, one lane like I'm
a lot I think it was the I mess the
name up a.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Lot of ass. When I heard that, I was like, oh, okay,
this is what we're doing, all right.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
But the freedom in being able to kind of go
outside the box of.

Speaker 5 (56:54):
What freedom it's saying freedom are in between twenty five man,
we put it on a T shirt. We put it
on a T shirt.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
But the freedom to be able to kind of explore
those different you know, not genres, but I mean different
different lanes or whatever for you kind of talk about
that as well while navigating through this, because I don't
think you really had a box as far as like
I want to make these type of records.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
It was like yo, just make music. Let's whatever, right.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
Yeah, like yeah, no ceilings, you know, to like anything. Now,
I want to create ourself. If we're going to do
a rash record, I might have to get out my
my comforts on a little bit. I'm like, dang, I
don't want my daughter to hear this, but we having funds.
And when you go to a party of my living room,
you know, the girls turn up to sex. She read,
they going up to everything that's ratchet. You know, the

(57:47):
glow really joints. So I'm like, we got to give
them something, like you know in this vein.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
It's like, you know, you can't have a party in
my living without nothing turned up right, right. So it's
like that's what I understood from it. So for people
that may hear, it's like, oh, this is kind of
a different line. It's like, this is really the embodiment
of what a party in my living room was all about.
So who's who's the next person you reached out to
or people that we met. We haven't made sure we highlighted.

Speaker 5 (58:12):
We gotta highlight cakes. Man, shout out to th X,
shout out to everybody.

Speaker 13 (58:19):
Man.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
So this this this woman right here, man.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
I'm gonna let her talk and get her ship off.
But yeah, she's she's special.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
Man, So hearing that, you know, being special and and
and standing out as well. Man, talk about your involvement
when you got the call and you know, did you
have any expectations coming into it, like, oh, yeah, I
gotta make sure I do this or is it just
another day in the studio. I'm gonna just be authentically
myself and kind of see what with sticks.

Speaker 18 (58:46):
To be honest, same as you, I really didn't know
what was happening until I got in there and heard
the tutorial and they broke down with what's gonna happen
over the next seventy two hours. I had like I'm
like the new kid on the block, So like I
haven't I haven't actually been on the track with anybody
at all until this project. So but I've like tapped

(59:07):
in with a few people. And so I'm you know,
on Thursdays like about five six years or so, man
him at THHX studio. So I just walked in the
room and as soon as I got there, playing was
pulling up and I was like, hold.

Speaker 8 (59:18):
On a minute, Yeah, I got I got him on
my list. So yeah, I'm like yeah.

Speaker 18 (59:23):
So as soon as I saw him and I saw
Tiffany's like mom, I was like, oh.

Speaker 8 (59:31):
Yeah. So I was just like, okay, I got to
make sure.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
Is it is it at that moment when you see
people pulling up and people that you have on.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Your list and like, damn? Is it overwhelming for you
at that point?

Speaker 3 (59:42):
Or did you like kind of like step into like damn,
Like like playing said like I've arrived to even be
considered for this, Like yoh, okay, I'm doing something right and.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
I'm a part of this for a reason.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
Which way did you lean towards initially kind of going
into the process.

Speaker 18 (01:00:00):
As soon as I saw the caliber of artistry and
production I was in.

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
That building, I was like.

Speaker 18 (01:00:09):
I got like that was my confirmation for me that
I belonged in the exact place that I was at
and where I was at mentally and just overall artistry
where I was. I was like, okay, I'm in alignment.
So I was working out of school and I had
our last day at school was like I think June fifth,
and I was talking to one of my students that
I have like a relationship with and we were talking.

(01:00:30):
He was like man, I do want to see you
back next year, like wow, I want to see like
you like you too cool to even be here. And
I was like okay, So I said, all right, I'm
gonna give myself sixty days of just a straight focus.

Speaker 8 (01:00:41):
And he hit me on day fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
That wow.

Speaker 18 (01:00:44):
So I ranted to him on day one at an
event and then he hit me.

Speaker 8 (01:00:48):
So it was just it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
So what was it about case that you was like, yo,
I gotta I gotta get a part of this right here,
cause again you got you know, knowing each other but
not really knowing each other. It had to be something
special there.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:01:02):
I first seen her at Tough Crowd and I was like,
you know, everybody, anything that Holler does is incredible, right,
And I saw her on stage, I was like, everybody
up here, it's crazy. But then it was reconfirmed, reaffirmed
when I saw her at Payday shout out to el Press.
When I saw Sean was like she had a homegirl

(01:01:22):
phoenix up there, and it was just like a great presentation.
And then the raps were solid. I was like, then
this concepts were solid. I was like like, this is dope.
So it was always in my head. You know, I
was like, I gotta get her integrated in the party
in my living room and I was having a cyderball
with th Checks. I was like, we ei gonna do
a Pimla session or something. We going to make something happened.
And I was just like trying to figure out the

(01:01:42):
right thing to do, and this was the opportunity to
make something happen.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Yeah, I'm sure you've had confirmations in your life, case like, Okay,
I'm supposed to be doing this, but and I don't
know why as artists, and I put myself into that
same thing. I'm not an artist in that sense, but
same thing. Right, we asked these confirmations, we get them,
and then somehow we still kind of overthink or doubt
ourselves or whatever the case may be. So talk about

(01:02:09):
how this one was different than any other confirmations that
you may have gotten in the past, And how are
you now after the fact, Like, now that the project's done,
you're a part of it. Is that enough to sustain
any other doubts that you might have down the line.

Speaker 8 (01:02:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:02:28):
So my brother decided to retire, beat out the god.

Speaker 8 (01:02:32):
He decided to retire.

Speaker 18 (01:02:33):
So I've been like on his on his head for
the last year and a half, and we were having
a conversation and he was like, you know, we basically
were in the same his space of just like getting
older and just you know, I think that this project
for me is like the artists meet for my own stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
I'm gonna overthink it.

Speaker 18 (01:02:55):
I'm gonna listen to the same song twenty two times
and try to figure out each little thing.

Speaker 8 (01:02:59):
This was like it forced me out.

Speaker 18 (01:03:02):
Of my comfort zone one, but it allowed me to
just have fun and create, which then reignited like that
little kid love for.

Speaker 8 (01:03:12):
This that I've always had.

Speaker 18 (01:03:13):
I was just like just missing when trying to you know,
with perfectionism comes into play. And just as a woman,
you know, the content of music I make, I don't
make a certain type of music, so it's very hard
for me to you know, crack through and break through.

Speaker 8 (01:03:26):
So this was like a proving ground.

Speaker 18 (01:03:28):
For myself of like oh, like okay, like first of all,
I'm still I still got it, like and I still
got it though, like it's gonna get greater than this.
Still we haven't reached any type of place where like
it's plateau, like oh, this can like grow and expand
now seeing that just being around these guys and being
elevated by them and being able to elevate them as well,
and see.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Yeah, I want to ask you and Coco as well,
man being I'm assuming the only women are part of
the project, right and Tiff right it commil right being
the women a part of this project? Man, how important
was I'm assuming that that you guys had felt safe
in the environments, right, And how important was that kind

(01:04:09):
of going into it and you know, you guys know
Thursday is a good dude, and just but you don't know,
maybe maybe I know everybody else is around when you
walk into the situation and kind of confronted like, oh man,
this is a safe, safe space to create, be myself,
be authentic and what I'm doing. I'm just interested in
hearing how that is because a lot of times you

(01:04:30):
hear those experiences of people not necessarily feeling comfortable in
spaces like that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
So how important was that for you?

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
And and feeling safe in this environment and kind of
moving forward and creating.

Speaker 8 (01:04:44):
That was the most important thing for me.

Speaker 18 (01:04:47):
I've had every type of weird old situation with uh
men in this industry like that. You can think of
so my rap name obviously is Cakes. So we added
speaking of just because when I go into play, since
I say my name is Cases with my nicknames is Berth.

Speaker 8 (01:05:02):
That's just what I rock with.

Speaker 18 (01:05:03):
But people always look behind me and it's just like bruh.
Like so I'm like, if I put speaking of Cakes,
does that like give like a little poetic we give it?
Like So this literally was the first room I ever
walked in where I was introducing myself to people and
then nobody like say.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Like, oh, what's your name Cakes?

Speaker 18 (01:05:17):
Or look around like it's literally like walk like she said,
like with your cousins and brothers.

Speaker 8 (01:05:20):
He just was all family.

Speaker 17 (01:05:24):
It's a male dominated industry regardless. It's a male dominated
industry regardless. So I feel like I'm i am literally
always working with men and I'm usually the only woman
in the room most of the time. But being in
a position of uh sometimes leadership or collaboration means that

(01:05:44):
there's a certain confidence that I have to have in
whatever the fuck I'm doing. And I'm here because I'm
really really good at it. So because of that, if
you are treating me as anything other than you're equal
when it comes to what we're working on then I
don't have a problem.

Speaker 16 (01:06:00):
You have a fucking problem period like that.

Speaker 17 (01:06:04):
I'm coming in with the expectation that we're all coming
here to like create something great. So if you were
not here to do that and you being weird, not
only is my Brooklyn ass gonna cut your ass, I'm
gonna make it real uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
But how did you get so?

Speaker 15 (01:06:20):
Nah?

Speaker 16 (01:06:20):
It's because because because because there's a way that you
gotta do things.

Speaker 17 (01:06:23):
Sometimes when you're women and you're dealing with people in
positions of power, and sometimes when you like walk into
it's to low too. But at this space, it's like
this better not be what it's on, because if it is,
we about to be in here jonesing on each other
for the next Like I'm talking about baggy boots, I'm
talking about dirty rem caps, I'm on your head.

Speaker 16 (01:06:42):
So so, but but.

Speaker 17 (01:06:43):
That is only that would that only is something that
I learned as a way to thwart some of that,
you know, as a way to make sure that like, yeah,
come on, we're not on that. And if it ever
came down to that, I'm just gonna say, like, now
you're trying to fuck bitch. If you're trying to make money.

Speaker 16 (01:06:57):
What are you doing? Get to the what's your version?
I like, it's Matt pussy.

Speaker 17 (01:07:02):
Outside, relax, put your dick away, put it away, my nigga.

Speaker 16 (01:07:07):
But but but but right right, it's mad, honey on side,
let's get this fun.

Speaker 17 (01:07:15):
But but you know what it is, there was no
expectation of even thinking about that in this space. I
didn't even when I realized, I didn't even think about
that at all because it would have been so odd,
you know, And none of that happened. If anything, everybody's
so overly respectful, like it's it's beautiful because sometimes I'm
used to being around a bunch of guys, so sometimes
if a joke is made in the room, it'll be

(01:07:37):
like Coco's and I'm like, I'm like, nigga, I'm on
that too, you know. But it's a but it's a
beautiful thing because it's it's a lot of it's like
respect there, and it's really like being with your cousins.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
It's really sure to hear that man, and it's like,
you know a lot of these people, they're my family.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
So I've known most of these people a long time,
so it's.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Good to hear that because you hear about the window
inn g and it and there's nothing more unfortunate to
hear that that's coming from somebody that you know, right,
So to hear that that they've created that safe space
for you guys, you know, not just Thursday, but everybody
involved that's on the creative process, that there's no weird
energy it is that that's a reassuring thing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
I'm glad to ask to hear that for sure.

Speaker 17 (01:08:18):
All of the men are gentlemen and funny as fun
fly right and talented is well, like, that's a beautiful
environment to being as a woman where I can still
The first line of my song is I'm throwing some
masks tonight, an'ybody bother me. I'm right, I'm Jamaican, So
my whole ship as soon as the beat morning my
hip start start moving, I can't hope If that's not

(01:08:38):
that ain't nothing to do with me.

Speaker 16 (01:08:39):
Nobody worry about me. The yeah what if you say this?
This life is better than let's add the drum they did.

Speaker 17 (01:08:45):
It was all love like, yeah, cool, Thursday.

bouncing around room.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
You being a part of so many legendary things obviously
overdose and just you know your your career as well,
talk about being in this environment around so many creatives,
which I know you know a lot of these laws.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Anyway, I've been knowing them for so long.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):

Yeah, yeah, we had a we had a party in there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
So you when you hear when you hear somebody like
third says, yo, he's the gem of the city. And
I've heard that from a lot of people as far
as like how important your role is to to uh
to l a to the culture.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
You know what I mean, how does that not only
how does that feel, but like.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
Just making sure that you're always showing yourself, but that
people kind of trust that you're gonna bring something uh
to the party.

Speaker 20 (01:10:44):
I'm just thankful.

Speaker 4 (01:10:45):
Honestly, I'm a.

Speaker 9 (01:10:46):
Real humble like so so when people tell me like
certain stuff, I don't really like like think.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
About it too.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Like you started like embracing it though not not to
say like you're overly confident with it, but like when
did you start saying them Actually, yeah, it is something
about what I got going on that people keep calling
me for things like this.

Speaker 9 (01:11:02):
Fresh out of high school, I was myself like I
was like, I can't be nobody but me. So you
love it, hate it, I don't give it, damn be me.

do you maintain that energy being a being a father,
but at the same time making sure that you show
it up and turned up as always.

Speaker 9 (01:11:49):
You gotta trick yourself. You gotta trick your mind into

Like it was, it was that type of that type
of situation.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
Man, and I love it because you know, obviously making
a name for yourself, was it important that Was it
important for you to make sure that you made an
impression or were you just want Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:15:27):
Because I knew I was the only person in there
that didn't get invited to rap.

Speaker 20 (01:15:32):
You feel me like I got invited to kick it? Yeah,
but I really rap, bro, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 21 (01:15:37):

If you if you play sports, you know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
You know what I'm saying, So I mean and what
I love what I hear about that as well. And
we've been talking about just the energy synergy of like
the room and everybody in there, because I'm sure you've
been to different studios.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
And I'm like, oh cool, I need to contribute to this.

Speaker 21 (01:16:10):
Ship because to be honest, it's like my real brothers
Chuck English, my real cousin is Body James. So it's
like I kind of I've been watching from the sidelines
for so long knowing that I really could, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (01:16:24):
I just been kind of waiting for my turn to
really show.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
So you Rob, and you came in here swinging and
dunking almost that's pretty much to you, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Third man, I want you to to to continue.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
To to talk about when you found out or it
was like oh no, let's let's make sure that he's
a part of this ship, right finding out that he
was invited, but then making sure that he, you know,
Rock was a part of this situation as well. Talk
about from your experience and it will kind of wrap
things up in a second as well, and.

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
I got one more person.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:16:59):
But when I heard you know, Rod get down because
he came in there, I was like, he looks like
a rapper.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
I don't know what he did my first time meeting him.
He had like dope chads on.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
And then you know Road we were doing Freeze at
the time, and Freeze one of my favorite records on
the project, and I'm like, I love the video and everything,
and then he was like the perfect add on because
we were done with the seawan actually, and then I
wanted Chuck to get on something because Chuck did a beat,
but he's like, y'all want to rap. And then Millie
was like, yo, let's get Chuck on Freeze, so we

(01:17:28):
brought it back up and then Rock was there and.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
I was like, why not, it makes sense.

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
I was like, ro Let's doctor this out. Let's get
them on there. So great decision. It's a great decision
to add.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
I'm curious to know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
You know, we talked about you know, your your introduction
to the game with you and I right, and in
the blog era, we seen a lot of resurgence from
from blog era artists like you know, the cool Kids
man shout out to them and Blue you know, dropping
some projects. I want to know what your thought thoughts
are about the blog era right and what similarities you

(01:18:05):
see in today's age that you remember from the blog era.
What similarities can you can you think of as of
right now from the blog era today, because I think
a lot of people we talk about the golden era,
we talk about you know, the blog air as well,
and people not necessarily they romanticize it in a way,
which is great, But I also feel like there could
be similarities in what's going on now, and I'm interested

(01:18:27):
to hear from your perspective of like, Okay, yeah, things
are different, but yo, this is low key kind of
the same with this is kind of coming back that
people can kind of like attach to now.

Speaker 5 (01:18:35):
I feel like the blog era was so unique because
I feel like now we have a wall on the
concept of distribution. Like when the blogs were really relevant,
you could push something out on a z shar file
or like you know, any type of link and immediately,
you know, send it out to your fans. Now you
got to go through a protocol of like having a

(01:18:57):
distributor getting into a DS.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
You know, sharing that link to your fans and hoping
you get playlisted.

Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
I feel like it's way more barriers to like reach
your fans. I fight the blog era people were very unique,
you know. I think we had a regional kind of
like separation. Sonically, I feel like the blog era was
the Golden era low key.

Speaker 10 (01:19:19):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:19:19):
I'm not trying to be biased because that's where a
lot of dope shit came from. But I feel like
that was a special time and rap because it came
off of the cusp of what we all knew from
the nineties, and it was like, you know, a new
pillar that was developed that had all these new interesting
perspectives and lifestyles that we haven't really seen, you know.
So I would say currently, I mean, there's a lot

(01:19:44):
of incredible artists right now. I feel like la has
a lot of great people in Chicago has a lot
of dope artists, and Lanta has a lot of dope artists.
I'm seeing a lot of like incredible talent. But I
just think the major difference is the barrier to the fan,
you know. But yeah, I school Bishop out here crazy.
He's on the project, right, we got what's my guy

(01:20:07):
Hughey brushes out here? We got buddy, It's so much
talent out here, you know. I just feel like we
need platforms like party in my living room to like
bring that kind of blog feeling towards community. But we
still are lifting that barrier, whether it's Ira l or you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
Know, and I feel like that that that's one of
the main things that is community. Like, I feel like
that there now, however you get to it is completely different,
but I feel like that's the similarity in the blog
era and now it's like, Yo, people are finding ways
to build their community through technology, through you.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Know, real life experiences and figuring it out. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:20:47):
It's a challenge in some aspects, but it's like I
love the fact that you could discover artists in a
different way, like Yo, this' mo. They might not have
a record dealer, they might not be on the radio
or nothing like that, but Yo, these artists are just
as talented, and in some cases they have a full
on fan base and a lot more motion than the
major artists. So I think that that's one thing that

(01:21:07):
we can take away from it, because again we look
at a lot of the differences, which are true, but
I feel like that that's one of the ways of like, Okay,
that's kind of similar in the sense of like a
blog era in today, Like we.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
It's something special going on right now.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
You're kind of proving that with what you're doing with
party party in my living room as well. So who
else do we want to make sure that we mentioned
so for the last person.

Speaker 5 (01:21:28):
We got to mention that year. You know, it's one
of my favorite rappers from La Man. I think he's
one of the one of the best rappers Iron Iron
Sharpers Iron. So I'm able to like, you know, spar
some verses with him from time to time and you know,
just then got a big ass yet but like he
is an incredible director and like a visual artist, and

(01:21:50):
then he's an incredible visual rapper. Like you literally hear
all the detail that he's sharing in his wraps, right,
So that always inspires me because I'm like, damn, I
hear what you say. I ain't heard this word before
this vocay later used in this wrap so I could
see everything. He's shame and then he's a fucking The
reason why we even have your uh Don Greega in time,
the reason that we have this documentary for a relatives

(01:22:12):
and cousins, so let me bring up blessed escro man shout,
blessed you gotta take his Viti with a bless.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
Shout out skate shops once time from the murder blessed man.
It's good to see you again man, full circle moment. Man,
we chopped it up over at Market Street, right, So
so to see this moment and hearing the props that
you've been getting from thirds and like you said, iron
sharpens iron, you guys been down and being a.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Visual creator that you are when you were.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
Brought into this. Like what immediately, I'm just interested visually?
Did you see first like with the concept of party
in my living room and then with with with everything
transpiring with the relatives and cousins.

Speaker 19 (01:22:57):
First off, only folks with me, just so you can
walk through the mirt without getting so you.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
The pass, right, Okay, let's make that clear. Got it?
Got it? Got it?

Speaker 19 (01:23:11):
I caught this nigga try to sell off brand socks
and soggy incense, soggy incense and soggy seen him at
seeing him at Master Burger one time, eating vigilantly.

Speaker 4 (01:23:26):
These all the homeboys who brought me in.

Speaker 19 (01:23:28):
You know, when I crept back from college, I came
back to the town like, uh, wired er some ship
looking for looking for a couple, you know, a shootout
or something. So June shot cal Mattic and the desktos
and it was it was it was him.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
So from there to here we just was getting been
getting better.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
So creatively when it comes visually to the documentation the
process of this, like what what what what did you
want to capture visually with this, whether like some of
the key points you're like, yo, we got to make
sure that this is kind of like documented through this.

Speaker 19 (01:24:02):
Shout out most stats because he's the counsel. He's like
real lawyer, so he thinks of things from a different perspective.
But rolling was sooner, Like for me, I came from
BTS as far as like getting in behind like real
people like in the game. I was doing my own
videos first, but like BTS got me in a room
with like real folks. So BTS is I wouldn't say
it's nothing, I just know how to do that. So

(01:24:22):
all right, we're doing three days worth of it. We
know we're coming from a we got a company behind it,
so we got certain things we got to hit. So
it was hitting those things, but still doing what we
had to do from our perspectives and stuff. So they
gave us free shout out to CJ and the creative folks.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
They trusted what we They trusted the get down. So
to let me get.

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Down was was there anything different from this experience that
you kind of took and are gonna run with for
your you know, for your own creative purposes.

Speaker 19 (01:24:55):
It's being able to multitask. It's like June said, you
got three kids, you got fifty kids. Done matter, man,
It's like the dude with the hat, you know, the
little children's hats and stuff like that. You know you
got hey, man, better wear better wear them hats. And
I come from like my pop shot on my dad.
He's a real father. You don't fucking around, Benna be
you know you're going to be going to work. So
the thing has to be able to diversify what you

(01:25:16):
got to do, how you can like diversify what you
can do. So you got to be in the moment
for me. So I got to be able to capture this.
And he wants me to wrap too. So I know
how Thurds gets busy. He's one of the few people
that I know that can throw some some real left
and rights very fast. He can write a sixteen quick
as shit and it's actually them things. Yeah, so I
can do that for sure. Sometimes it varies on like

(01:25:38):
cause I'm very particular and what I say, so I'm like,
all right, and I gotta put the My main thing
was being able to capture all these people getting busy
for three days straight, which is not hard because all
these people are like people already knew when it's some
people like my Man soundtrack shot to my Man Muyaki
people I was meeting in the field and like bumping
into so like soundtrack for example, what we got. We

(01:25:58):
have a very close mutual friend that he was telling me,
go roll a track, roll a track. Then here he comes.
We rolled into the studio big go track, male music.
Same thing I was at shout out to Georgia An.
I was at the Georgia Ann Blouse show two weeks
before the damn camp and I was just talking to Mail.
Were just we just connected on some regular rewatching bloud ship.

(01:26:19):
Then two weeks later blout like a It's like Crenshaw
Summer Camp minus niggas getting banged on wild like Thurs
being from Inglewood shut out everybody from Inglewood.

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
That's my family. Shout out what works.

Speaker 19 (01:26:31):
They brought out what works to shout out smoking them
ferises and shout out tiff my girl, shout out a
chameleot el, Camille, she me and me, Her and Milly
got everybody came through.

Speaker 4 (01:26:40):
It's kind of crazy. It's almost like the little rascals
and some ship.

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
That's that's amazing though, that's amazing. I wanted to ask
one last question in regards to like how you how
you were able to multitask in that setting, because again
having the capture, I mean, just just walk me through it.
If you just maybe one of those sessions where you're
tasked with with with to document, right, but you do

(01:27:03):
have to write or you know you want they want
you to get on that subject. Do you put the
camera down?

Speaker 19 (01:27:06):
Hold you all was trying to skate out of there
without wrapping on some ship. And then I was like whatever,
because I know how I get down. Sometimes I get
lost in like if it ain't come in the first,
I'll write that shit real quick.

Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
Sometimes if I get the kind.

Speaker 19 (01:27:18):
Of bobbing and weaving and being like all right, if
it's I don't know, it's just certain people will drag
that shit out you. Thursday is one of them. And
me I kind of adapt to shootouts. I'm good with
the under pressure situations, so meaning like if we were
sitting on the train in New York some shit, or
the training here on the red Line, because I'm a
red Line kid, so like I can write in the
crowdit room a lot easier sometimes than the buttonnked room really,

(01:27:41):
or if you get like Cakes was doing it was Cakes,
it was Cakes, Augustine and airplane was doing shit.

Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
I know about.

Speaker 19 (01:27:51):
It's sectioning your so far from everything going on and
getting to it if you've seen freshness what Chucky was
talking about when he in the crowded room.

Speaker 4 (01:27:58):
So you gotta do if you can do it, you
can do it.

Speaker 19 (01:28:01):
If you can't figure out how you can do it,
and maybe I don't know the same the situation where
you can come back, you better write that ship to
go home.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
Man, I know, I love that man in full circle moment.
For a lot of these people, that's INDIVIDI.

Speaker 4 (01:28:11):
Letting thirst dog me on shit.

Speaker 19 (01:28:13):
We got we got a little group called you stick,
so we shut out sea wats uh men, we be
getting We get the job, I get the jog, got
my my lamurk park Wu tang iss because he knows
what he brings me for. So it's really trying to
get busy with the party records because shout out Calmatic.
He always wanted me to wrap on some some real
West side ship. But I know if I'm gonna do that,
I'm gonna drag you niggas around. So you don't want that,
So I let June do that. I let plane do

(01:28:35):
it from the east side. Then they know if I'm
hopping off the plane, we're gonna walk down no string.

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
Me and my Brooklyn homegirls.

Speaker 19 (01:28:41):
We walked through the bay and we're gonna Me and
him gonna just blitch your ship.

Speaker 4 (01:28:46):
We can walk through Filly and survive. Come back.

Speaker 1 (01:28:48):

work that you put into it, all the personalities, all
the talent, all artistry, and now the body of work

Uh, what level of relief do you have and is
there is there?

Speaker 12 (01:29:13):

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
I don't know if a level of expectation or how
would you want the fan the consumer to actually.

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
Consume the music? Is there is there instructions to this?

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
I mean, do you want them to go from top
to bottom from all all the tracks or pick your
favorite ones?

Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Like how do you get it?

Speaker 5 (01:29:31):
It's a double disc, you know. Disc one is dedicated
to the function. This two is sol you know what

(01:29:52):
other utility that you need for music? This too got
so I mean, but I just want people to run
from tops of bottoms. That's what I've been doing. I
just been living with it, and you know, I definitely
feel fulfilled that it's out, you know, because I feel
like I didn't have any expectation for what it was
supposed to be. I was like, I already have an

(01:30:13):
idea of what everybody could do, so I know, it's
gonna be dope. I just don't want to put any
type of expectations to it, so it came out better
than what I would have imagined, you know. So I
just want everybody to press play on it. You know,

amplify what everybody's doing.

want to know just because we've been kind of low
key talking about the blog era, right and I'm sure

people are anticipating and I don't know if it was
technical the techno mark that you guys did, the Beautiful
Day that you guys performed for the first time, and
