BioSouthern positive rapper BamsterG’s latest single, “Dummy Thick,” is a banger intended to bring
good summer vibes to all the men and ladies in the club — but especially the ladies.
Thick, of course, is a slang term used as a compliment for curvy women. The addition of dummy
adds a superlative, in tribute to the women with even more of that something special.
“I wanted to make a song to the touch hearts of all the good-lookin’ ladies who feel like they got
that big ‘ba-donkey-donk,’” BamsterG laughs. “It’s a fun track, but it’s also player. It’s cool, calm,
confident.” The beats were produced by Atlanta-based producers Mercy Beatz and K-Rab (the
originator of snap music), giving the track an upbeat, club-ready bounce.
BamsterG wants his music to celebrate the positive aspects of life, and he calls his music
motivational hip hop. “I try to motivate people to do better and to be happy,” he says. “It’s no
point in being sad, man, we only live once. It’s time to get out of that heartbreak, get out of this
predicament, and try to turn that negativity into positivity.”
The artist’s roots play a role in his music. While he now lives in the city of Chattanooga, his
hometown is Sweetwater, Tennessee, a place that he says is “very country.” From Sweetwater
to Chattanooga, to collaborations with producers in Atlanta, a southern flavor is woven into his
sound and style.
The name “BamsterG” itself is a family affair. “My dad has called me Bam Bam since I was a
toddler, cause I bammed on everything like Bam-Bam in The Flintstones,” he explains. “Then it
became Bamster from all the sports I played: football, basketball, wrestling. The G is from my
last name, Goodlow.”
Additionally, he credits his father, a musician known as John Wayne (real name Stacy
Goodlow), for initially inspiring him to begin creating music. “He had a home studio, and I was
always around it,” BamsterG says. “He’s a big part of why I do this.” Other influences include
Future, Rylo Rodriguez, NoCap, Young Thug and many more.
In terms of creative process, sometimes BamsterG starts by writing lines of lyrics, while other
times he is inspired by a beat and begins freestyling. And sometimes, the process is more
collaborative, involving several members of his creative team.
In addition to his father, that team includes Drew Madden, a Chattanooga-based producer he’s
been working with since 2019. His cousin, Atlanta rapper LDB Justo, is a close collaborator, part
of the Lavish Dope Boyz Entertainment label. “You’ve got to have a team,” he says. “If you don’t
have a team behind you, it’s really hard to get up.”
With his team behind him, consistency is the plan moving forward for BamsterG. He has more
singles on the way, including a follow-up single next month and live performances coming soon.
“We’re releasing singles one after the other,” he says. “I’ve got a vault ready. Not just for this
year, but years to come.”
His ultimate hope? “To make people feel good about themselves. Ladies, men, everybody. And
to make a way for my family.”

Welcome to the show. Yes, So, I love going back
to the beginning. I always say the beginning chart our
trajectory in life. You know, a little habits that we

So tell me a little bit about your childhood. Was
what was that like and when did you discuss for
music and that you wanted to pursue it like full time?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Okay, Well, as a child, I come from a town,
a small town called Sweetwater, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So as a child, I.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Was kind of in the house, but at the same
time I was outside the house, you know, country living.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know, we would be out in the field.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I had a lot of cats and dogs and stuff, so,
you know, just playing out, play with bb guns, play
with different toys like transformers, all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
But what made me discover music was my father because
he always had somebody talking about music around him. He
was always talking about music, he was always reporting music.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
You know. It was just a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Another thing is just listening to Rihanna all there on
the radio, just about of That's what maybe really catch
love for music, because the creative art about music, the
feeling behind music, the feeling that it gives you, you know,
the healing all that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You know, love that love that so dummy thick is
a summer anthem. What inspired the idea and energy behind
the track?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I thought about women. I was like, you know what,
it's time to make a song for the women. It's
time to make a song for the women. And what
inspired me is because my boy Big Boogie I met.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I met him years ago.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Big Boogie makes a lot of music for the ladies,
and that energy from his music, it was like, okay,
that kind of influenced the song, but also I influenced
myself to make a.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Song because it was time to make a song about
women and to make.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Them feel good about you know. You know there but donkey,
don't you know? That's what I said to my song.
You know but yeah, yeah, real talk. That's I had
to make some for the women. I really did, because
that's that's where a lot of the listeners, like, like
a lot of the listeners be like women a lot,
because that's what I've be seing on my charts.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'll be saying, it's like a lot of women that
listen to my music.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
So it's just like, well, let me give them a treat,
and this for like, you know, like I said, for
the women to feel good about themselves if they want to,
you know, do a little exercise, you know, no, no,
throw it up back.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
A little bit, let's shake a little boody here. And
there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Absolutely absolutely. You described the song as cool, calm, and confident.
How do you personally define confidence in your music and life?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Confidence as in, like, you need to not be sad.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know, it's not a me. It's okay to be sad,
but you don't need to be sad for too long.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I try to I'm trying to switch the narrative too,
because I come I came up from making sad music,
so I'm basically putting people along my journey as Okay, yeah,
we were sad one time.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's sad at one point in our life.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Now it's time to change our life around and let's
go get to what we want and what we need,
because it's like it's time to be happy because the
more happy you are, the more drive you have, the
more life feels better. And you know, you're not down,
You're not stagnant, You're not like just sitting in one spot.
You're just keep going, keep going. You're doing stuff that
(04:05):
you really really really really loved.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I'm absolutely can you tell me about the process of
making it as far as like you know this song
and were you in the like in the room with
the producer, like how involved were you when making this song?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So how I made this song? I made this song
by myself, like I was. I was. I was in
my home studio and I said, you know what.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I just heard Like I was like, you know what,
let's just make song today, make something about the women,
and then boom, I was just like, who heard a
beat and I just started writing to it, just started
writing to And when I started writing to it, I
was like, dang, it's catchy, this something this song. I know,
this this song that can really blow. So then boom,
(04:54):
I started making it. Then I put it together all
by myself. It was like, wow, I made this, Like
I was even surprised, like whoa, I made this.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
This is something I made at home by myself too,
you know. You know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
And my boy Mercy, my boy Mercy cooked it up
like like he like, that's the producer, by the way
he cooked up the beat. You know what I'm saying,
Like I said, that's the beat I was listening to.
He cooked it up, you know. And Mercy is like
a goat. He was like one of the top producers
in Alma. Like he's made beat. He's made beats for future.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Uh day they you.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Know the song, Yeah, yeah, you know that song.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Got a family to feed, gotta you know.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But he's made he's made songs for I mean, he
made beats for fifty cent, he made song. He's made
so many beats, and he is a goat. And my
boy k Rap, which is my cousin, Uh, he's he
mixed down, chopped it up. You know, he'd originated snap,
so you know, so that just put a whole different
twist to it. So I got two goats, two legends,
(05:58):
all my stuff, and it was like me, that was like,
you know what I'm saying, it was I made the
song by myself, but I'm basically saying it was a
team behind the technically.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know what I'm saying, right, Yeah, Which I'm sure
that feels really good to say that. You know, it's
it comes from you, you know, like fabriginates from you. Yeah.
What advice would you give to someone you know that
you know is stuck in a negative mindset and trying
to turn from like heartbreak into hope.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
My advice is put yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I mean, I wouldn't say put yourself in somebody else's shoes,
but I always think it's somebody doing either better and
it's always somebody doing worse. You know, you can always
put yourself in a better predicament because it's time to
go hard, go right, and so once you're any better predicament,
you're living good. But you also gotta put yourself in
the worst, Like not don't put yourself in the worst,
(06:57):
particularly obviously, but I'm basically saying, like, look at it,
think about it, like dang, I could have been right here,
but I'm right here. You know what I'm saying, Like
it's it's it's time to go hardless do hard, like
like this's go hard, go hard, go hard. So the
other thing is the other thing is like I would say,
try not to think nigative because thinking negative comes to like,
(07:19):
you know, the power of tone, the power of my
power tone.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
So don't think negative, don't do niggive because doing negative,
you know, obviously, is gonna lead to nigative. So just
be positive, try to go hard at what you do.
That's all, Like, that's all I can say. I have
a lot to say, but you know, it's more of
a I have to sit down and talk to a person,
because sit down talking to a person person and person,
it's like I can really get a better image of
(07:44):
what they're going to then I can like.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Mold, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So it's more it's more of just really think positive,
think about what you want, think about what you need,
and apply yourself because not applying yourself, you know, you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Stay stagging, that's true.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, you know, this business industry is very you know,
I'm sure there's a lot of people that want to
put you in a box, you know, that want to
you know, keep you here with your southern roots that
comes through strong. How do you keep the authenticity while
still being innovative and trying to stay up with trends?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Uh, I mean, just honestly, just the Internet, you know,
I would say just the Internet, But at the same time,
I like being my Like I kind of intertwined myself
with the trends. So like I would say, like I'm natural,
everything about me is natural, Like I don't have to
like fake nothing. So I would say, like I'll just
(09:19):
be me and being me and applying it to the internet.
It goes together, you know what I'm saying. I really
couldn't say, like it's not really too hard. I could
just say it's pretty easy to me because I'm being me.
It's a difference when you gotta fake an image, you
know what I'm saying. It's different when you gotta force
like a whole different person that you're not onto the internet.
(09:41):
Because I mean, yeah, it's easy, but it's also hard
because you got to like keep up with your lives
and forget about your lives.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That's if you're real life. But you know, yeah, so
that's all I can really say about that part. That's
everything's just really natural to me. I'm not I like to.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I like to.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I like being on in there too. Like I live
being on Instagram. I check on everything. Okay, what's going on? Yeah,
I don't like being on people's like not to get
sat turcked, but I don't like to be in people's business.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
But I like to see what's going on.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Okay, Well, let me not speak about this topic because
if I speak about this topic, They're gonna think I'm
talking about this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, that's all I can say. So I keep myself
updated on the internet.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Love that your dad, John Wayne was a musician too.
What what was one lesson from him that stuck with you?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Hmm? Every time you make the song, make sure it's
hotter than the next song, I mean, the last song.
Every time you make a new song, it's gotta be
hotted in the last one.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
That's what.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's the lesson he's always taught me. He's like, make
sure and yeah, you might feel like it might not
be hot. Like what I mean, my heart is that
like is like, oh my god, this is a hit,
you know not? This ain't no Ah, this song all right?
You know what I'm saying. It's always gonna be a
song that you feel like it's all right, but in
a different category.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
It's like, oh, that's that's a banger.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
He's always told me, like, make sure that next song
is a hit song all the time, better than the
last one. And then another matter of fact, I give
another another one he always says is.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Punchlines. Punchlines. If you don't you can't make a good song.
You can't make a good song without punchlines.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But the song ain't going really have people keep coming
back to the song if you ain't got punch lines,
because punchlines don't have people thinking like whoa you came
up with that?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
What? What? Hold on?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Like?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
You know, like no, like for example, no Cap, no cap,
he comes up with punchlines, and his punchlines be crazy.
You know, I just like wow, like I'd be having
to think about it, like dang, that's something you really
have to think about. Orl Wayne, you know everybody know
about Lwayne. Lwayne got some punchlines.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You'll be like, wow, yeah, he has some doubles on
the line exactly exactly, So that's awesome. That's a great lesson.
Do you remember the first time you recorded in your
dad's studio and what was that moment?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Like, I think, okay, the first time technically it was
my studio because it was off a computer and then
it was off an Amazon microphone.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I would tell you.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I'm gonna tell you how the story basically saying like
I made a project song for my school and I
recorded it. It was you know, it was it was
a pretty not rough experience, but it was like kind
of a kind of a tough experience because I was
trying to like kind of learn the gimmicks of recording
and I didn't. I just threw myself out there. I
(12:40):
didn't really just okay, I knew everything, you know. I
was like, uh no, let's just try this. So I
did this for It's like the song was called gotta
go get It, Gout Got Africa something. It was about
this book that is May Bill. It made somebody name
you have to look him up. I have to think
about it again. But yeah, basically saying he just talking
(13:03):
about how I think it was like West or you know.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
North Africa.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
North Africa was having like wars or something at that time,
and we were just rapping about the fact song like
how kids was going through this and that, you know.
And I did a song. My best friend's named Ethan
and yeah, we just we made the song. It's pretty good.
I mean, like I said, it wasn't mixed or nothing,
no masks, no mixed. So you know, but now let's
(13:28):
talk about the real music, the real music. Yes, I
made a song called It's my first song actual it's
called Depression is.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
A fiction, and.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I recorded like half the song and then came back
to the song like two or three months later. I
don't know why it took me so long to make
that song, but yeah, it was it was nice. I
had started learning music a little bit and the song,
did you know it performed pretty good. I think I
got over like thirty to forty thousand streams and told
on that song everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Do you think that, you know, being a artist, especially
a rapper these days, it's kind of you know, because
there's so many different genres of music, right There's there's
you know, the country, there's there's contemporary, there's pop. Like
I feel like in those different genres, people are more
so open to being more vulnerable and open about like
(14:19):
just deeper issues, maybe something that is relatively to their
to their life. Do you feel like the rap community
or hip hop community is not as open and do
you feel like we're that's changing?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I feel like music changes every day, but I would
say yes, like country and pop, what's what's another good genre?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Like, I mean, you've got K pop, all you've got name,
It's a lot of but.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Rap.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Only reason why I feel like rap can sometimes feel
like people not open open to like shorer vulnerable side
is because there's.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
A lot of people that I like to hear, you know,
like drill music.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
They love to hear drill music, you know, and that's
tough music, and people love to hear that people and
they feel like it's not okay to be, you know,
out your feelings. And I feel like it's okay too,
because you gotta understand people also feel how you feel.
It's like a lot of people that feel the same
exact way how you feel in your mind, but you
(15:25):
just got to speak it. And when you speak at
people don't like understand like, oh my god, this is
what I'm going through right now, thank you for this
or you know you kind of I'm relating to your situation.
So I feel like we should do it more. But
it's a lot of artist that do it, like you know,
Long ofve X, but you know xx Tantasion he was
he he was a really heavy influence on my music.
(15:49):
Long Love, Juice World, got Juice World. What's his name?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Dang?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He was not a UK raper but it was England
or somebody. I forgot its name, but yeah, it was
a lot of rappers or so I would call them
musicians because they knew how to rap. They knew how
to do other genres too, So yeah, yeah, I mean
I can really just say that it's okay to say
(16:18):
your feelings, but some people just that's just not their genre.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And you got to understand.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's like, hey, some people don't feel like doing what
is okay to do?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You know, it's okay. I feel like it's okay.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Like I said, I came from making sad music and
vulnerable music.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I came from making that.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Now I try to make better music, but here and
there I do throw some sad little lines or sad
little songs here and there. I haven't dropped none yet,
but I got a lot in the vaults for that.
Speaker 2 (16:46):

well you as a child, I've had my cousin next
to his name is they call him LdB Justo Lavish
dope boy just and he's always been next to you
like he's always been my Hey, we're gonna make music.
We always gonna make music. We're gonna make just get rich.
You know what I'm saying so that that's no question.
(18:21):
That's my cousin. We've always been saying we're gonna stick together.
So then, uh, my boy his name Drew Madden now,
but his previous artist's name was Perfectionist James.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He how do I mean through music theory? Music theory,
and he was like, man, I heard your song. Man,
it was nice. You know what I'm saying. He was like,
y'all have produce. I make beats.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I was like, okay, cool. So we just worked from
like that day for we started working. He started sending
me beats and I started just you know, we're doing exchange,
like I do a beat on your I mean I
do a song on your beat, and I feature on
one of your songs, you know, just like stranger. So
we just you know, build a team that was on
my he on my team always.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I got a boy named see why, being Camo. I
played basketball with him for a team named Underdogs, and
he was like, y'all make music. He started rapping to me.
I was, yeah, that's that's nice. And when we started,
UH just made a couple of songs together. I mean,
we got more on the way and I got boring
away with him and uh now with Kra, Like I said,
(19:28):
that's my cousin. They you know my dad and k
Rap has always been locked in from back in the day.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So you know, I just we end up. He ended
up hearing like some music of mine.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It was like, okay, it's he got some potential, so
we got to apply it. And then Mercy. I met
Mercy through my boy Buve the Plug, which is my dad.
But you know, cool peoples and but the Plug he
makes music.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Pretty it's a pretty big team. I'm gonna I'm gonna
kind of n on this part. Yeah, but yeah, me
and him. He sent me a beat actually, I think
was it last year or something like that or no, no,
it was recently. It was recent He sent me a
beat packet actually, and I wrapped one of these beats.
He was like, bro, this is hard. So it's not
(20:17):
released yet, but it's a it's a cool song. It's
it's it's a good song. I would say it's more
it's more melodic. It's not sad, but it's melodic. It's
like in the middle, it's like saying, I'm talking about
some real stuff, but I'm also influencing people to do better. Well,
like I said, Mercy, I met Mercy through Bud and
then boom. After that it was just like boom and
(20:37):
I got more people on the team, like my other cousins,
like I got. I call him PJ. He's been in
the music industry for about twenty some years. You got
Jo Vonnie Shaville, that's my cousin.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I got Tea Storm that's he's He used to manage
Jo Vannie Shaville. He still does to this day. But
you know, yeah, it's a it's a pretty big music team,
you know, I got, I got more a time.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Mikey, he's a he is a host. I would say
at Blue Flame in Atlanta. That's nice, you know, I
would say a club.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
You know you can say that, you know. So, yeah,
it's a pretty big team. I got, I got more
to come. I got I got more people. I just
you know, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, No, I mean they say, you know, you know,
you are the five people that you're very closest to, right,
that's what you reflect, So it is it is a
part of that. So whoever you are around, right, they
either are going to reflect you or build you up.
So it's also important to have that structure that's core
team that want to see you grow and be successful. Absolutely. Yes,
(21:47):
I can't imagine the music world is. I mean, I'm
from more so the film side of things and got
into it that way, but the music world is so different.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know, you got to stay relevant, you gotta stay
out there. Do you ever, you know, do you feel
like as an artist that the music industry is changing,
you know, the big conglomerates or just as a whole
is changing. Uh in favor of the artist?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Uh, I would say you said in favor of the artist,
I would say yes, I would say yes, actually because
you got underground music now, like it's always been a
sustan as underground music, but you got legit like Atlanta,
New York underground music. And I feel like they're they
are they've been getting shown love way more than industry
(22:37):
artists now. Like I don't want to, I wouldn't compare that.
That's not that's not my you know, cup of tea
to compare. But I'm just basically saying I've been seeing
a lot of love and getting Like I mean, I've
been seeing a lot of attention being on the underground
artists more than the you know, industry artists, which they're
technically industry artists, but you know what I'm saying, Like
(22:57):
they they ain't signed to like major major record labels.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right well, it's maybe some but you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
And and I would say, what's another thing I could
say about that?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Maybe yeah, they just know that's really it on that.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, like the underground artist is really they've I've really
Actually my cousin named Ya, he's an underground artist and
he's been he's had so many like views on different songs.
He's made about four or five different hit songs he's had.
He got a hit song right now. It's treated on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Nice. So yeah, it's a different time, right because back
then music how we can you know, how our you know, uh,
you know our grandparents consume music to how we can
see music is different. It's so different, right streaming TikTok YouTube,
it's that'ssible now versus back then. You had to make
real records, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah it's hard. Yeah, legit you had to make legit records.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
You had to get us uh cassette tapes, CDs and
uh you had to sell the CDs or you had
to you have to sell them on you know, either
on the corner at the back of your trunk or
your car.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
You know what I'm saying. Just you got to literally
legit make money off of you, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
And but you know that was that was that was.
That's a different time. But now it's so many artists too,
so it can be a little bit tough. Now it
can be a little bit tough for newer artists to
blow up because it's so many artists, it's so much competition.
While I quote that because it's like people be viewing
this as competition, which it can be. But I feel like,
(24:38):
as if we work together, yess what we can make?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
We can all?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Absolutely, some people don't have that mindset, so you know,
you just gotta maneuver around that and find who is
really willing to grow with you.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
So that's why I say I got a team.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I love that. So I love asking this question to
every artist, every person on the shows, every guest, and
there is no wrong answer, but the three levels of influence, money, power,
and respect, And if you could choose only one of
those things, which one would you choose and why money,
power and respect.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Respect. Okay, respect because I don't tolerate disrespect for one anyways.
But respect because you get power out of haveing respect,
and you can get money out of have respect too,
you know what I'm saying. So respect can branch off
(25:34):
to different things. Like you said, yes, money, power respect
is either one or the other. But respect, you can,
you can. You can tweak some things with respect because
you guess what you can get in places that the
average can't get into awful due to respect.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
You know what I'm saying. Power is Like.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I said, I feel like money and power plays in
with respect. Respect is the big thing. It's just you know,
you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's a great answer. Yes, what does success look like
for you? Not just numbers, but emotionally or spiritually?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Spiritual is always I mean, which I'm already right with God,
but getting right with God, like I feel like everybody
should always get right with God. I feel like everybody should.
I just feel like everybody should get right with God,
get right with the Lord. Because you never know when
your day is coming. You never know when judgment day
(26:32):
is coming. You know what I'm saying. You never know
what's going to happen, you know, so I always get
right with the Lord spiritually and then also get right
with your own self, get right with yourself like so,
because you.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Always gotta have mores for yourself.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
You always got to respect yourself, because not respect yourself,
you don't respect others.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Then, emotionally, just being able to be able to be
able to be happy at any given time, like you know,
even through the worst times you think of think positive
like me, when how I do it? Because I lost
I lost the two I lost two people this year.
So how I got through sorry, I lost I lost
(27:12):
my little cousin. How I got through it was going
hard at this music because this is what she would
want for me to do. Instead of keep crying. Nah,
she would want me to keep going hard, keep going hard. Now,
I don't don't let this hinder you, don't let this
stop me.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know what I'm saying. So that's how I go
through with emotional.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Success because it is like I'm able to make myself
happy even in the times I need somebody, I still
can be there for myself when nobody's there.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You understand what I'm saying absolutely. If someone never heard
of your song before, which track would you want them
to hear first? And why?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I would say start from the beginning, Because why I
say start depression is affection.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
That's my first, you know, my very first song.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Because why I would tell them that, it's because I
want them to watch I give them depression is a fiction,
maybe a song in the middle that I have a mine,
like a uh what I have that's oh uh this
song called kick it. You know, look I'm kicking. I'm
having fun when I give them done me because I
(28:20):
want them to see how I grew right, you know.
That's why I would do that, because I want to
see it. Like they're gonna be like, Okay, I see
you didn't have a beard in this video song. You know,
then they see I got a little beard, and then
they see now I got this.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They like, oh, you've grown a lot.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Bro, you got a professional You sound clear, you sound this,
you know this different. I want them to understand that
it takes time. It takes time to be an artist,
take time to be anything in life.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
What's been the biggest eye opener about the music industry
that you didn't expect going into it.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
It's a lot.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It's some things I won't speak on, but I would
say the eye opener is how much it takes to
be an artist.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
It takes a lot more than what people think. It is, like, it's.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Not even just money. It's also like you gotta you
gotta learn how to talk. Some people don't learn how
to talk, Like some people don't know how to talk
to people. Like they got too much pride, or they
got too much they too much a victim of their environment.
That's what yah, that's the same. They're too much to
run in their environment, so they like they don't want
(30:01):
to get out. Some people feel like they should stay
stuck in their city or stay not stagnant, but like
they shouldn't go nowhere. And the other thing is, when
I was younger, I used to think like, oh, you
can just drop a his song and oh they're.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Like, oh yeah, you're gonna get money. Now it ain't
like that.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
It goes you gotta you gotta you gotta really like
keep being consistent, gotta.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Gotta be you gotta go hard this.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
And I personally am a victim of that because I did.
I used to like kind of slack off in the
music because that's why I've been very inconsistent in the
music industry.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But like now I'm about to start buying myself even more.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
That's why I dropped Dummy Thick and I Gotta on
a way called Walking. Uh it's coming out around next month. Actually,
I'm about to be dropping.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Like a back to back.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
It ain't like this time is it's go time? You know?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So yeah, I you know, I saw the Dummy Thick
music video. I was gonna say, did you have any
like direction when it comes to did you was there
an I d like, did you direct this yourself? Did
you have somebody else to shoot it for? You because
it you know, it shot very well. Uh what was
what was that that process?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like visually speaking, so yes, I did, I have I
have Parsons directing this.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
But for sure my dad he once he heard this song,
he was like, oh man, we gotta we gotta take
this up there. So his vision and my vision collided
together made this vision.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
My boy Jordan's rose. He shot the video. Yeh, he went,
he went real crazy and then just.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, oh yeah. Then my cousin Pete.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
He also put a little a little touch in there,
you know, k Rad Mercy. They you know, like I said,
the people who you know, made to beat my team.
It was like, okay, you know, let's just put a
little this and that, not do that. Do you know
what I'm saying? And uh what I say, I think
the doctor the doctor bam.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
That that was like I said, you know, I gotta
do this because I worked in the I worked in
the medical field. Because I ain't gonna back in the
day besides the music. I have a great resume. I
can I can't pull off my resume right now. I've
worked different places, but I worked in the medical field,
so I was like, you know what, I already got scrubs,
so let's go get the trench cold.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Let's say doctor. You know.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
What's another thing about that? The direction of this video.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Uh oh, so like bam, like bam Heffner not bam.
But so I was kind of giving off that vibe.
I was going to do the hat and stuff, but
it looked better without it and everything, so I was
just on some player, you know that jump.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Then lastly, the business scene.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
That scene was just like on some what's like almost office,
but it was like crazy office, like you know, you know,
because I know you've probably seen the disco I don't
know if you notice that, but it's a disco ball
going off.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
And then at close to the end of the video,
you see a girl taking off my tie, you know,
just like on some you know, just it was it
was just a scene to I mean, that whole video
was to be serious but also be a little funny,
just to give off like, Okay, this video is dummy,
this song is dumby, you know what I'm saying, Like,
you know, it's just just giving off a good player,
(33:46):
cool vibe, but also something to give somebody laughing, like
Oh my god, this man is crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It was a cool video. It was it was very fun.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
I appreciate you for watching it and really, you know,
being a support behind that video.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Absolutely. What What advice would you give to anyone that
little boy, little girl that that's trying to get into
the music world.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
I have a lot, but for one, like I said,
I always make sure you got a trustworthy team. Make
sure you always have a trustworthy team, because being by yourself.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Is very, very, very very hard.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
So I would say, just have the right people around
you because having the right people around you is want
to influence you to go harder. You got a team,
so you ain't got to spend a lot, a lot
of like crazy amounts of money. You got somebody that's like, okay.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Man, I give a beat for free.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
You know, you might, you might you know, you're my
best friend, or you my cousin or just anything you know,
or you got people who shoot music videos for free.
You know it just it's different stuff Like if you
got a team they say, you know y'all, you don't
know y'all, and be the biggest team out here. Y'all
could be the next Migo Hotboys, Migos all that. You know,
there's all this different stuff, just different. So I would say, uh,
(35:12):
just have a trustworthy team and always always study m
because well, yeah, I would say I always study. Don't
don't slack because what I mean by slacking as in
like don't going into super duper blind.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Always make sure you just all right, let what's distribution company?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:34):
What type of song should I drop?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
No, you know just just what I mean by like study,
just study yourself and study how to go about certain things.
So just do just do that because I've been a
victim of not studying certain stuff. I've been a victim
of not being consistent. Like I said, I did some
stuff that I don't want. I wouldn't want my little
(35:59):
nephew or my little niece to do. I went through
the struggle so I can teach them how to do.
Like if my nephew was to ever want to do music,
or anybody want to do music around me, I'm like, nah,
going about it this way?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yeah I did this way, and this ain't the right way.
This way right?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Love that? No, it's great, it's great advice. It's great advice.
I think a lot of people, see, you know, a
lot of people, and they also looking and they look
at the you know, the Instagram post, the great, the
nice pictures, but they don't see the hard work that
goes behind all of it.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
So it's good to know.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, yeah, because sometimes you can't.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
You're not supposed to let everybody know every single one
of your moves, but you are supposed to show them
that you are working and that you're not what I
would say, you're not in a negative space. I be
my negative space. You ain't supposed to show everybody that
you're saying. It's a good to drop the song that said,
but don't just show everybody like you're saying, because sometimes
(36:59):
you take you for granted. You don't want to be
taken for granted because that's disrespecting you. And you don't
want to be distrepected because who wants to be disrespected.
Everybody wants to you know. Yeah, yeah, And I said,
I understand. I know you noticed because you and the
film production I did some research.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
On you too.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
I see, I see you do it, did a lot
of stuff. Yes, I read it your h I am
d B. That's what Yeah, I am dB. Yes, I
read all your biography and all that you know I was.
I was making sure I did my research on you.

me questions. You know, I don't want to be like disrespectful.
I paid attention to everything. Thank you.

trajectory in life. You know, a little habits that we
pick up along the way follow us into our adulthood.
So tell me a little bit about your childhood. Was
what was that like and when did you discuss for
music and that you wanted to pursue it like full time?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Okay, Well, as a child, I come from a town,
a small town called Sweetwater, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So as a child, I.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Was kind of in the house, but at the same
time I was outside the house, you know, country living.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know, we would be out in the field.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I had a lot of cats and dogs and stuff, so,
you know, just playing out, play with bb guns, play
with different toys like transformers, all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
But what made me discover music was my father because
he always had somebody talking about music around him. He
was always talking about music, he was always reporting music.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
You know. It was just a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Another thing is just listening to Rihanna all there on
the radio, just about of That's what maybe really catch
love for music, because the creative art about music, the
feeling behind music, the feeling that it gives you, you know,
the healing all that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You know, love that love that so dummy thick is
a summer anthem. What inspired the idea and energy behind
the track?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I thought about women. I was like, you know what,
it's time to make a song for the women. It's
time to make a song for the women. And what
inspired me is because my boy Big Boogie I met.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I met him years ago.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Big Boogie makes a lot of music for the ladies,
and that energy from his music, it was like, okay,
that kind of influenced the song, but also I influenced
myself to make a.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Song because it was time to make a song about
women and to make.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Them feel good about you know. You know there but donkey,
don't you know? That's what I said to my song.
You know but yeah, yeah, real talk. That's I had
to make some for the women. I really did, because
that's that's where a lot of the listeners, like, like
a lot of the listeners be like women a lot,
because that's what I've be seing on my charts.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'll be saying, it's like a lot of women that
listen to my music.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
So it's just like, well, let me give them a treat,
and this for like, you know, like I said, for
the women to feel good about themselves if they want to,
you know, do a little exercise, you know, no, no,
throw it up back.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
A little bit, let's shake a little boody here. And
there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Absolutely absolutely. You described the song as cool, calm, and confident.
How do you personally define confidence in your music and life?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Confidence as in, like, you need to not be sad.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know, it's not a me. It's okay to be sad,
but you don't need to be sad for too long.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I try to I'm trying to switch the narrative too,
because I come I came up from making sad music,
so I'm basically putting people along my journey as Okay, yeah,
we were sad one time.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's sad at one point in our life.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Now it's time to change our life around and let's
go get to what we want and what we need,
because it's like it's time to be happy because the
more happy you are, the more drive you have, the
more life feels better. And you know, you're not down,
You're not stagnant, You're not like just sitting in one spot.
You're just keep going, keep going. You're doing stuff that
(04:05):
you really really really really loved.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I'm absolutely can you tell me about the process of
making it as far as like you know this song
and were you in the like in the room with
the producer, like how involved were you when making this song?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So how I made this song? I made this song
by myself, like I was. I was. I was in
my home studio and I said, you know what.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I just heard Like I was like, you know what,
let's just make song today, make something about the women,
and then boom, I was just like, who heard a
beat and I just started writing to it, just started
writing to And when I started writing to it, I
was like, dang, it's catchy, this something this song. I know,
this this song that can really blow. So then boom,
(04:54):
I started making it. Then I put it together all
by myself. It was like, wow, I made this, Like
I was even surprised, like whoa, I made this.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
This is something I made at home by myself too,
you know. You know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
And my boy Mercy, my boy Mercy cooked it up
like like he like, that's the producer, by the way
he cooked up the beat. You know what I'm saying,
Like I said, that's the beat I was listening to.
He cooked it up, you know. And Mercy is like
a goat. He was like one of the top producers
in Alma. Like he's made beat. He's made beats for future.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Uh day they you.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Know the song, Yeah, yeah, you know that song.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Got a family to feed, gotta you know.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But he's made he's made songs for I mean, he
made beats for fifty cent, he made song. He's made
so many beats, and he is a goat. And my
boy k Rap, which is my cousin, Uh, he's he
mixed down, chopped it up. You know, he'd originated snap,
so you know, so that just put a whole different
twist to it. So I got two goats, two legends,
(05:58):
all my stuff, and it was like me, that was like,
you know what I'm saying, it was I made the
song by myself, but I'm basically saying it was a
team behind the technically.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know what I'm saying, right, Yeah, Which I'm sure
that feels really good to say that. You know, it's
it comes from you, you know, like fabriginates from you. Yeah.
What advice would you give to someone you know that
you know is stuck in a negative mindset and trying
to turn from like heartbreak into hope.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
My advice is put yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I mean, I wouldn't say put yourself in somebody else's shoes,
but I always think it's somebody doing either better and
it's always somebody doing worse. You know, you can always
put yourself in a better predicament because it's time to
go hard, go right, and so once you're any better predicament,
you're living good. But you also gotta put yourself in
the worst, Like not don't put yourself in the worst,
(06:57):
particularly obviously, but I'm basically saying, like, look at it,
think about it, like dang, I could have been right here,
but I'm right here. You know what I'm saying, Like
it's it's it's time to go hardless do hard, like
like this's go hard, go hard, go hard. So the
other thing is the other thing is like I would say,
try not to think nigative because thinking negative comes to like,
(07:19):
you know, the power of tone, the power of my
power tone.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
So don't think negative, don't do niggive because doing negative,
you know, obviously, is gonna lead to nigative. So just
be positive, try to go hard at what you do.
That's all, Like, that's all I can say. I have
a lot to say, but you know, it's more of
a I have to sit down and talk to a person,
because sit down talking to a person person and person,
it's like I can really get a better image of
(07:44):
what they're going to then I can like.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Mold, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So it's more it's more of just really think positive,
think about what you want, think about what you need,
and apply yourself because not applying yourself, you know, you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Stay stagging, that's true.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, you know, this business industry is very you know,
I'm sure there's a lot of people that want to
put you in a box, you know, that want to
you know, keep you here with your southern roots that
comes through strong. How do you keep the authenticity while
still being innovative and trying to stay up with trends?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Uh, I mean, just honestly, just the Internet, you know,
I would say just the Internet, But at the same time,
I like being my Like I kind of intertwined myself
with the trends. So like I would say, like I'm natural,
everything about me is natural, Like I don't have to
like fake nothing. So I would say, like I'll just
(09:19):
be me and being me and applying it to the internet.
It goes together, you know what I'm saying. I really
couldn't say, like it's not really too hard. I could
just say it's pretty easy to me because I'm being me.
It's a difference when you gotta fake an image, you
know what I'm saying. It's different when you gotta force
like a whole different person that you're not onto the internet.
(09:41):
Because I mean, yeah, it's easy, but it's also hard
because you got to like keep up with your lives
and forget about your lives.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That's if you're real life. But you know, yeah, so
that's all I can really say about that part. That's
everything's just really natural to me. I'm not I like to.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I like to.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I like being on in there too. Like I live
being on Instagram. I check on everything. Okay, what's going on? Yeah,
I don't like being on people's like not to get
sat turcked, but I don't like to be in people's business.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
But I like to see what's going on.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Okay, Well, let me not speak about this topic because
if I speak about this topic, They're gonna think I'm
talking about this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, that's all I can say. So I keep myself
updated on the internet.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Love that your dad, John Wayne was a musician too.
What what was one lesson from him that stuck with you?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Hmm? Every time you make the song, make sure it's
hotter than the next song, I mean, the last song.
Every time you make a new song, it's gotta be
hotted in the last one.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
That's what.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
That's the lesson he's always taught me. He's like, make
sure and yeah, you might feel like it might not
be hot. Like what I mean, my heart is that
like is like, oh my god, this is a hit,
you know not? This ain't no Ah, this song all right?
You know what I'm saying. It's always gonna be a
song that you feel like it's all right, but in
a different category.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
It's like, oh, that's that's a banger.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
He's always told me, like, make sure that next song
is a hit song all the time, better than the
last one. And then another matter of fact, I give
another another one he always says is.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Punchlines. Punchlines. If you don't you can't make a good song.
You can't make a good song without punchlines.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But the song ain't going really have people keep coming
back to the song if you ain't got punch lines,
because punchlines don't have people thinking like whoa you came
up with that?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
What? What? Hold on?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Like?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
You know, like no, like for example, no Cap, no cap,
he comes up with punchlines, and his punchlines be crazy.
You know, I just like wow, like I'd be having
to think about it, like dang, that's something you really
have to think about. Orl Wayne, you know everybody know
about Lwayne. Lwayne got some punchlines.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You'll be like, wow, yeah, he has some doubles on
the line exactly exactly, So that's awesome. That's a great lesson.
Do you remember the first time you recorded in your
dad's studio and what was that moment?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Like, I think, okay, the first time technically it was
my studio because it was off a computer and then
it was off an Amazon microphone.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I would tell you.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I'm gonna tell you how the story basically saying like
I made a project song for my school and I
recorded it. It was you know, it was it was
a pretty not rough experience, but it was like kind
of a kind of a tough experience because I was
trying to like kind of learn the gimmicks of recording
and I didn't. I just threw myself out there. I
(12:40):
didn't really just okay, I knew everything, you know. I
was like, uh no, let's just try this. So I
did this for It's like the song was called gotta
go get It, Gout Got Africa something. It was about
this book that is May Bill. It made somebody name
you have to look him up. I have to think
about it again. But yeah, basically saying he just talking
(13:03):
about how I think it was like West or you know.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
North Africa.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
North Africa was having like wars or something at that time,
and we were just rapping about the fact song like
how kids was going through this and that, you know.
And I did a song. My best friend's named Ethan
and yeah, we just we made the song. It's pretty good.
I mean, like I said, it wasn't mixed or nothing,
no masks, no mixed. So you know, but now let's
(13:28):
talk about the real music, the real music. Yes, I
made a song called It's my first song actual it's
called Depression is.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
A fiction, and.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I recorded like half the song and then came back
to the song like two or three months later. I
don't know why it took me so long to make
that song, but yeah, it was it was nice. I
had started learning music a little bit and the song,
did you know it performed pretty good. I think I
got over like thirty to forty thousand streams and told
on that song everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Do you think that, you know, being a artist, especially
a rapper these days, it's kind of you know, because
there's so many different genres of music, right There's there's
you know, the country, there's there's contemporary, there's pop. Like
I feel like in those different genres, people are more
so open to being more vulnerable and open about like
(14:19):
just deeper issues, maybe something that is relatively to their
to their life. Do you feel like the rap community
or hip hop community is not as open and do
you feel like we're that's changing?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I feel like music changes every day, but I would
say yes, like country and pop, what's what's another good genre?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Like, I mean, you've got K pop, all you've got name,
It's a lot of but.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Rap.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Only reason why I feel like rap can sometimes feel
like people not open open to like shorer vulnerable side
is because there's.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
A lot of people that I like to hear, you know,
like drill music.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
They love to hear drill music, you know, and that's
tough music, and people love to hear that people and
they feel like it's not okay to be, you know,
out your feelings. And I feel like it's okay too,
because you gotta understand people also feel how you feel.
It's like a lot of people that feel the same
exact way how you feel in your mind, but you
(15:25):
just got to speak it. And when you speak at
people don't like understand like, oh my god, this is
what I'm going through right now, thank you for this
or you know you kind of I'm relating to your situation.
So I feel like we should do it more. But
it's a lot of artist that do it, like you know,
Long ofve X, but you know xx Tantasion he was
he he was a really heavy influence on my music.
(15:49):
Long Love, Juice World, got Juice World. What's his name?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Dang?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He was not a UK raper but it was England
or somebody. I forgot its name, but yeah, it was
a lot of rappers or so I would call them
musicians because they knew how to rap. They knew how
to do other genres too, So yeah, yeah, I mean
I can really just say that it's okay to say
(16:18):
your feelings, but some people just that's just not their genre.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And you got to understand.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It's like, hey, some people don't feel like doing what
is okay to do?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You know, it's okay. I feel like it's okay.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Like I said, I came from making sad music and
vulnerable music.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I came from making that.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Now I try to make better music, but here and
there I do throw some sad little lines or sad
little songs here and there. I haven't dropped none yet,
but I got a lot in the vaults for that.

to get up. How did you build your current team
and what do they bring to the table for you?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
So always as a child, well I wouldn't even say,
well you as a child, I've had my cousin next
to his name is they call him LdB Justo Lavish
dope boy just and he's always been next to you
like he's always been my Hey, we're gonna make music.

You know what I'm saying so that that's no question.
(18:21):
That's my cousin. We've always been saying we're gonna stick together.
So then, uh, my boy his name Drew Madden now,
but his previous artist's name was Perfectionist James.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He how do I mean through music theory? Music theory,
and he was like, man, I heard your song. Man,
it was nice. You know what I'm saying. He was like,
y'all have produce. I make beats.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I was like, okay, cool. So we just worked from
like that day for we started working. He started sending
me beats and I started just you know, we're doing exchange,
like I do a beat on your I mean I
do a song on your beat, and I feature on
one of your songs, you know, just like stranger. So
we just you know, build a team that was on
my he on my team always.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I got a boy named see why, being Camo. I
played basketball with him for a team named Underdogs, and
he was like, y'all make music. He started rapping to me.
I was, yeah, that's that's nice. And when we started,
UH just made a couple of songs together. I mean,
we got more on the way and I got boring
away with him and uh now with Kra, Like I said,
(19:28):
that's my cousin. They you know my dad and k
Rap has always been locked in from back in the day.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So you know, I just we end up. He ended
up hearing like some music of mine.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It was like, okay, it's he got some potential, so
we got to apply it. And then Mercy. I met
Mercy through my boy Buve the Plug, which is my dad.
But you know, cool peoples and but the Plug he
makes music.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Pretty it's a pretty big team. I'm gonna I'm gonna
kind of n on this part. Yeah, but yeah, me
and him. He sent me a beat actually, I think
was it last year or something like that or no, no,
it was recently. It was recent He sent me a
beat packet actually, and I wrapped one of these beats.
He was like, bro, this is hard. So it's not
(20:17):
released yet, but it's a it's a cool song. It's
it's it's a good song. I would say it's more
it's more melodic. It's not sad, but it's melodic. It's
like in the middle, it's like saying, I'm talking about
some real stuff, but I'm also influencing people to do better. Well,
like I said, Mercy, I met Mercy through Bud and
then boom. After that it was just like boom and
(20:37):
I got more people on the team, like my other cousins,
like I got. I call him PJ. He's been in
the music industry for about twenty some years. You got
Jo Vonnie Shaville, that's my cousin.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I got Tea Storm that's he's He used to manage
Jo Vannie Shaville. He still does to this day. But
you know, yeah, it's a it's a pretty big music team,
you know, I got, I got more a time.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Mikey, he's a he is a host. I would say
at Blue Flame in Atlanta. That's nice, you know, I
would say a club.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
You know you can say that, you know. So, yeah,
it's a pretty big team. I got, I got more
to come. I got I got more people. I just
you know, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, No, I mean they say, you know, you know,
you are the five people that you're very closest to, right,
that's what you reflect, So it is it is a
part of that. So whoever you are around, right, they
either are going to reflect you or build you up.
So it's also important to have that structure that's core
team that want to see you grow and be successful. Absolutely. Yes,
(21:47):
I can't imagine the music world is. I mean, I'm
from more so the film side of things and got
into it that way, but the music world is so different.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know, you got to stay relevant, you gotta stay
out there. Do you ever, you know, do you feel
like as an artist that the music industry is changing,
you know, the big conglomerates or just as a whole
is changing. Uh in favor of the artist?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Uh, I would say you said in favor of the artist,
I would say yes, I would say yes, actually because
you got underground music now, like it's always been a
sustan as underground music, but you got legit like Atlanta,
New York underground music. And I feel like they're they
are they've been getting shown love way more than industry
(22:37):
artists now. Like I don't want to, I wouldn't compare that.
That's not that's not my you know, cup of tea
to compare. But I'm just basically saying I've been seeing
a lot of love and getting Like I mean, I've
been seeing a lot of attention being on the underground
artists more than the you know, industry artists, which they're
technically industry artists, but you know what I'm saying, Like
(22:57):
they they ain't signed to like major major record labels.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right well, it's maybe some but you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
And and I would say, what's another thing I could
say about that?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Maybe yeah, they just know that's really it on that.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, like the underground artist is really they've I've really
Actually my cousin named Ya, he's an underground artist and
he's been he's had so many like views on different songs.
He's made about four or five different hit songs he's had.
He got a hit song right now. It's treated on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Nice. So yeah, it's a different time, right because back
then music how we can you know, how our you know, uh,
you know our grandparents consume music to how we can
see music is different. It's so different, right streaming TikTok YouTube,
it's that'ssible now versus back then. You had to make
real records, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah it's hard. Yeah, legit you had to make legit records.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
You had to get us uh cassette tapes, CDs and
uh you had to sell the CDs or you had
to you have to sell them on you know, either
on the corner at the back of your trunk or
your car.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
You know what I'm saying. Just you got to literally
legit make money off of you, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
And but you know that was that was that was.
That's a different time. But now it's so many artists too,
so it can be a little bit tough. Now it
can be a little bit tough for newer artists to
blow up because it's so many artists, it's so much competition.
While I quote that because it's like people be viewing
this as competition, which it can be. But I feel like,
(24:38):
as if we work together, yess what we can make?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
We can all?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Absolutely, some people don't have that mindset, so you know,
you just gotta maneuver around that and find who is
really willing to grow with you.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
So that's why I say I got a team.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I love that. So I love asking this question to
every artist, every person on the shows, every guest, and
there is no wrong answer, but the three levels of influence, money, power,
and respect, And if you could choose only one of
those things, which one would you choose and why money,
power and respect.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Respect. Okay, respect because I don't tolerate disrespect for one anyways.
But respect because you get power out of haveing respect,
and you can get money out of have respect too,
you know what I'm saying. So respect can branch off
(25:34):
to different things. Like you said, yes, money, power respect
is either one or the other. But respect, you can,
you can. You can tweak some things with respect because
you guess what you can get in places that the
average can't get into awful due to respect.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
You know what I'm saying. Power is Like.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I said, I feel like money and power plays in
with respect. Respect is the big thing. It's just you know,
you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's a great answer. Yes, what does success look like
for you? Not just numbers, but emotionally or spiritually?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Spiritual is always I mean, which I'm already right with God,
but getting right with God, like I feel like everybody
should always get right with God. I feel like everybody should.
I just feel like everybody should get right with God,
get right with the Lord. Because you never know when
your day is coming. You never know when judgment day
(26:32):
is coming. You know what I'm saying. You never know
what's going to happen, you know, so I always get
right with the Lord spiritually and then also get right
with your own self, get right with yourself like so,
because you.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Always gotta have mores for yourself.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
You always got to respect yourself, because not respect yourself,
you don't respect others.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Then, emotionally, just being able to be able to be
able to be happy at any given time, like you know,
even through the worst times you think of think positive
like me, when how I do it? Because I lost
I lost the two I lost two people this year.
So how I got through sorry, I lost I lost
(27:12):
my little cousin. How I got through it was going
hard at this music because this is what she would
want for me to do. Instead of keep crying. Nah,
she would want me to keep going hard, keep going hard. Now,
I don't don't let this hinder you, don't let this
stop me.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know what I'm saying. So that's how I go
through with emotional.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Success because it is like I'm able to make myself
happy even in the times I need somebody, I still
can be there for myself when nobody's there.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You understand what I'm saying absolutely. If someone never heard
of your song before, which track would you want them
to hear first? And why?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I would say start from the beginning, Because why I
say start depression is affection.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
That's my first, you know, my very first song.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Because why I would tell them that, it's because I
want them to watch I give them depression is a fiction,
maybe a song in the middle that I have a mine,
like a uh what I have that's oh uh this
song called kick it. You know, look I'm kicking. I'm
having fun when I give them done me because I
(28:20):
want them to see how I grew right, you know.
That's why I would do that, because I want to
see it. Like they're gonna be like, Okay, I see
you didn't have a beard in this video song. You know,
then they see I got a little beard, and then
they see now I got this.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They like, oh, you've grown a lot.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Bro, you got a professional You sound clear, you sound this,
you know this different. I want them to understand that
it takes time. It takes time to be an artist,
take time to be anything in life.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
What's been the biggest eye opener about the music industry
that you didn't expect going into it.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
It's a lot.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It's some things I won't speak on, but I would
say the eye opener is how much it takes to
be an artist.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
It takes a lot more than what people think. It is, like, it's.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Not even just money. It's also like you gotta you
gotta learn how to talk. Some people don't learn how
to talk, Like some people don't know how to talk
to people. Like they got too much pride, or they
got too much they too much a victim of their environment.
That's what yah, that's the same. They're too much to
run in their environment, so they like they don't want
(30:01):
to get out. Some people feel like they should stay
stuck in their city or stay not stagnant, but like
they shouldn't go nowhere. And the other thing is, when
I was younger, I used to think like, oh, you
can just drop a his song and oh they're.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Like, oh yeah, you're gonna get money. Now it ain't
like that.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
It goes you gotta you gotta you gotta really like
keep being consistent, gotta.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Gotta be you gotta go hard this.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
And I personally am a victim of that because I did.
I used to like kind of slack off in the
music because that's why I've been very inconsistent in the
music industry.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But like now I'm about to start buying myself even more.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
That's why I dropped Dummy Thick and I Gotta on
a way called Walking. Uh it's coming out around next month. Actually,
I'm about to be dropping.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Like a back to back.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
It ain't like this time is it's go time? You know?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So yeah, I you know, I saw the Dummy Thick
music video. I was gonna say, did you have any
like direction when it comes to did you was there
an I d like, did you direct this yourself? Did
you have somebody else to shoot it for? You because
it you know, it shot very well. Uh what was
what was that that process?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like visually speaking, so yes, I did, I have I
have Parsons directing this.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
But for sure my dad he once he heard this song,
he was like, oh man, we gotta we gotta take
this up there. So his vision and my vision collided
together made this vision.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
My boy Jordan's rose. He shot the video. Yeh, he went,
he went real crazy and then just.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, oh yeah. Then my cousin Pete.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
He also put a little a little touch in there,
you know, k Rad Mercy. They you know, like I said,
the people who you know, made to beat my team.
It was like, okay, you know, let's just put a
little this and that, not do that. Do you know
what I'm saying? And uh what I say, I think
the doctor the doctor bam.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
That that was like I said, you know, I gotta
do this because I worked in the I worked in
the medical field. Because I ain't gonna back in the
day besides the music. I have a great resume. I
can I can't pull off my resume right now. I've
worked different places, but I worked in the medical field,
so I was like, you know what, I already got scrubs,
so let's go get the trench cold.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Let's say doctor. You know.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
What's another thing about that? The direction of this video.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Uh oh, so like bam, like bam Heffner not bam.
But so I was kind of giving off that vibe.
I was going to do the hat and stuff, but
it looked better without it and everything, so I was
just on some player, you know that jump.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Then lastly, the business scene.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
That scene was just like on some what's like almost office,
but it was like crazy office, like you know, you know,
because I know you've probably seen the disco I don't
know if you notice that, but it's a disco ball
going off.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
And then at close to the end of the video,
you see a girl taking off my tie, you know,
just like on some you know, just it was it
was just a scene to I mean, that whole video
was to be serious but also be a little funny,
just to give off like, Okay, this video is dummy,
this song is dumby, you know what I'm saying, Like,
you know, it's just just giving off a good player,
(33:46):
cool vibe, but also something to give somebody laughing, like
Oh my god, this man is crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It was a cool video. It was it was very fun.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
I appreciate you for watching it and really, you know,
being a support behind that video.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Absolutely. What What advice would you give to anyone that
little boy, little girl that that's trying to get into
the music world.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
I have a lot, but for one, like I said,
I always make sure you got a trustworthy team. Make
sure you always have a trustworthy team, because being by yourself.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Is very, very, very very hard.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
So I would say, just have the right people around
you because having the right people around you is want
to influence you to go harder. You got a team,
so you ain't got to spend a lot, a lot
of like crazy amounts of money. You got somebody that's like, okay.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Man, I give a beat for free.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
You know, you might, you might you know, you're my
best friend, or you my cousin or just anything you know,
or you got people who shoot music videos for free.
You know it just it's different stuff Like if you
got a team they say, you know y'all, you don't
know y'all, and be the biggest team out here. Y'all
could be the next Migo Hotboys, Migos all that. You know,
there's all this different stuff, just different. So I would say, uh,
(35:12):
just have a trustworthy team and always always study m
because well, yeah, I would say I always study. Don't
don't slack because what I mean by slacking as in
like don't going into super duper blind.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Always make sure you just all right, let what's distribution company?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:34):
What type of song should I drop?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
No, you know just just what I mean by like study,
just study yourself and study how to go about certain things.
So just do just do that because I've been a
victim of not studying certain stuff. I've been a victim
of not being consistent. Like I said, I did some
stuff that I don't want. I wouldn't want my little
(35:59):
nephew or my little niece to do. I went through
the struggle so I can teach them how to do.
Like if my nephew was to ever want to do music,
or anybody want to do music around me, I'm like, nah,
going about it this way?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yeah I did this way, and this ain't the right way.
This way right?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Love that? No, it's great, it's great advice. It's great advice.
I think a lot of people, see, you know, a
lot of people, and they also looking and they look
at the you know, the Instagram post, the great, the
nice pictures, but they don't see the hard work that
goes behind all of it.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
So it's good to know.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, yeah, because sometimes you can't.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
You're not supposed to let everybody know every single one
of your moves, but you are supposed to show them
that you are working and that you're not what I
would say, you're not in a negative space. I be
my negative space. You ain't supposed to show everybody that
you're saying. It's a good to drop the song that said,
but don't just show everybody like you're saying, because sometimes
(36:59):
you take you for granted. You don't want to be
taken for granted because that's disrespecting you. And you don't
want to be distrepected because who wants to be disrespected.
Everybody wants to you know. Yeah, yeah, And I said,
I understand. I know you noticed because you and the
film production I did some research.

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