I do want to say, don't cite this is the
frequency of the fearless. You know not everything that matters
is loud, that every moment announces itself. Not every connection
(01:28):
comes with the warning. And sometimes it's just a look,
a present, a feeling you can't explain, but you know
when it happened, and just like that it's gone, but
it stays with That's the space Tonight's guest creating his
music not by over explaining, not by forcing emotion, but
(01:52):
by giving you just enough to feel something and letting
you carry the rest. Because real artistry doesn't always tell
you what to think unless you read something didn't realize
you felt, and tonight we step into that moment. You're

Speaker 7 (04:46):
Hey, what's going on board July from Toronto? Hey, if
you have to July TI Radio.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Absolutely, man, we are super excited to have you with
us tonight, Man and July. Where we really you know,
get into the music. What's been on your heart and
mind lately, what's.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Been on my heart.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
It's just pretty much getting out that feeling that just
you know, music, releasing music that touches people people could
relate to, and just connecting with the overall world.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Absolute man, how's the ride so far?
Speaker 7 (05:28):
It's been going pretty well. I've been getting a lot
of good feedback on the music.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
I make. People love what they're hearing, people could relate
to it.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
It stands out and I'm just I feel like I've
been jenting my message across.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Indeed, Indeed, you said, you know, getting out the feeling
or getting over the feelings of you know, just going
through the process of doing this, you know, going around
in interviews hugging next some babies, that type of thing,
you know, the warm the masses up. But explain that feeling.
(06:06):
I'm sure a lot comes with not only being creative,
but having to understande understand the business side of it.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
So it's more like a feeling of like kind of recognition.
You know, everybody has that moment where you feel like
there you got to stand out and try new things.
So my thing is kind of, don't be afraid of
try new things because it might change your life.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
What new things have you tried lately?
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Trying different sounds, different production when it comes to like music,
and as I expressed in this most recent song, being
more vulnerable with myself.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Yeah, okay, okay, Well what I meant, I mean, yeah,
I was gonna get to that too, you know, with
the me to try this project, but more so.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Like in your personal life. What have you tried that's new?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Man?
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I tried, I don't I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
completely left with this one.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
I don't really like seafood, but I tried. I tried sushi. Uh.
I tried some sushi for the first time, and damn
it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, Okay, so you're how much is that?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that that is a new experience. So did you
have like some type of what you know, reserve about
trying it beforehand? Uh?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Yeah, the whole the whole thing about it just being
like raw like just raw fish.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
It kind of it kind of had deteriorated from it,
you know.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yeah, we just opened up a Noble here in Toronto,
so I thought I would try it out.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Like all right, we got another one, the other one
on the sushi train. All right, all right, so let's
start with fashion. Uh such a dope song. I definitely
like the vibe you created doing with it. So let's
(08:29):
start with the feeling of that. Uh what what was
the real life moment that inspired this song?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
So what really inspired it was my kind of like
fashion week as a whole, like taking that trip to Paris,
New York and just being involved with being a part
of fashion week, like from a from the perspective of
a fan of like seeing clothing and being a part
(09:01):
of that culture. But it also just was like inspired
by a room filled with like the right energy, you
know what I mean. Yeah, there's always there's always just
that that one person that you know that you notice
when you're out.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
And they're not even trying, they're not allowed, they're not
doing too much.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
But somehow they just they just shift the they just
shift the energy in a room as soon as they
walk in, you know.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
And I've experienced that with women that.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
I've been in contact with and relationships with, and that's
what inspired this record.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah. Yeah, Fashion Week going to the Bench, I would say,
is a dream come true for some people. So if
you will, for those who haven't had the chance to
experience that, like Pat paint the scene, how did it look?
How was how was the food that was the whatever
they had? I don't know, I'll never.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Oh man, it was.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It was like.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
It was all over in Paris, and like the districts
they call it like, I don't exactly, I'm not I
don't speak French, so I can't pronunciate the exact like
location as perfect. But in New York they got fast
as well. That's it's really popular there and everything goes
(10:28):
down in Manhattan soul like around the Canos Street and
Mulberry Street. So if you ever get a chance to
go there in September or during the spring, I definitely
suggest you.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Guys check it out and you'll understand why this this
song kind of hits so hard.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, so you had this experience this moment. It feels good,
it feels like you belong. When did you realize it
needed to become music?
Speaker 8 (11:02):
H I realized that the music when that unspokable, uh,
the unspeakable.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Like recognition of like like I said before, when you
when somebody is just when somebody just has that energy
in a room that you're in and you just appreciate
the small and minor details of what they got going on.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
You know, Yeah, the minimal the minimalistic of them.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Not trying too hard, but you appreciate everything about them.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah. You you mentioned energy quite a bit. Uh. Are
you a reader of energy? Can you pick on people's
pick up on people's energy.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
If it comes to like moons in the stars like astrology? No,
I don't.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
I don't read deeply into so yeah, science, but I
do feel off of energy, Like if somebody has great
energy that's around me, I typically.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Want that to be around. Like if if if you're
your energy is low, you're not really.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
In the highest spirits, then that's not something I really
want to be around.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
If I if I got to be honest.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Mm hmm. Yeah, man, going back to the record, you
intentionally kept this track minimum. I guess there's a science
to that, you know, uh what the but what I
want to know what does script and things back allow
you to do as an artist?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Mm hmmm. In a sense, it's kind of like.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Given something easy to remember and so that people could
kind of repeat it and it sticks in their heads.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Like the intention behind this one is something that the
ladies could kind of get ready to.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
You know what I mean, Like you're stepping out, You're
gonna take You're gonna take your time to put that
extra detail into how you look and it's not going
to go un noticed by whoever's out there that's going
to see.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, man, this is no shot at ladies. But you
know the song is like two minutes and thirty two seconds.
They're gonna have to replay that joker like back.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
To the bad yep, repeat, pick up repeat, I've.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Never seen the one will get ready in two minutes
and thirty two seconds, that's right.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
But for however however long they take, I'm appreciate it
if they come out looking fly for show.

If you want to be seen, got to be on
the scene. So that's what it is. Let's go ahead
and bring you live back.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Yo yo yo, Well man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah, Vigilante Radio playing my song Passion weeps absolutely.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
So there's this concept of quiet luxury. What does that
mean to you? Beyond music?
Speaker 8 (17:41):
Beyond music? Like what quiet luxury it means to me?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
And in the let's say, from the garment perspective, is
no loud or heavily branded clothing items like if them
from like if you know you know, if you know
what this silhouette is, then you just know what it is,
rather than a headly branded shirt that just says like
(18:07):
whatever brand on it, like I don't know, for example,
like a T shirt that just says Louis Baton, Like
that's a that's more of just a basic shirt, rather
than if you stepped out in a Tom for It tuxedo,
you might not know that it's Tom for It. But
(18:27):
the quiet luxury perspective of it is the silhouette.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
M Yeah, yeah, I like that too, Man, quiet luxury.
You ain't got a hashtag everything.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Man, So Toronto shows up in your sound. How has
Toronto tapped your artistry?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
I want to say Toronto has shaped my music in
the in the perspective of the lingo that I put
in my songs.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
They try to say like we make dark music here
in Toronto, and that the weather here majority it gets
dark early, it's always cold, so we make like cold,
we make like dark cold music. H I definitely think
(19:33):
that shapes a lot of what I create. And a
big thing that we that we do here in Toronto
is we take city drives like that's a that's like
a tourist thing to do. We drive through the city,
through the scene of tower, through the bright lights, and
(19:54):
we play like a specific genre or style of music.
So I know, perfos, what I'm trying to create. If
I take that drive and the song, it's perfectly getting
that esthetic, if you get.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
What I'm saying. Yeah, absolutely, I like that.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
So that kind of shaped the production and the vibe
that we get when we're making music here in Toronto.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah. I never really thought about that in that perspective. Yeah,
I didn't notice a unique sound, but there was like
some kind of I wouldn't use the word dark, but
I guess that's the breakway to explain it, like a
dark and beyond, not like sad dark, but like uh,
(20:49):
I called it the lone wolf energy.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
You know, you get like yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Exactly, or you know a lounge that's real well that's
dimly lit and you can you know, chill in the
cut and just converstate and vibe or.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Just say nothing at all because the music is dope.
Yeah much, Yeah, man, I think your song fits right in.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
It's definitely something that either he could out through it
or just chill and listen to the music.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, exactly exactly what we're going for, all right, man,
you did it.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
All right? So do you think music can recreate moments
like I know you know this is I won't. I
don't know if it was your first trip too Fashion
Week in Paris? But do you believe music can recreate moments,
(21:55):
especially if a song is about a particular.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Moment, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
I think music is really opinionated, so like the right
song needs to be heard in the right place in
my opinion, Like you won't listen to an upbeat record
when you're feeling this like when you're not feeling that way, or.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
You won't listen to like an you won't listen to
like an R and B song when you're in a
high intensity like some people do.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
But that's not that's not generically how it's placed, right,
So you might you might be.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
You might have had been in the gym and.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
You got your personal your pr your personal record and
like a bench press.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Because you were listening to the I don't know.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Let's say, like a Gunna song that is about working
out or something like that. I don't know, I'm not
don't quote me.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
On that exact song reference, but.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
You'll remember that highlighted moment with that song because it's
kind of like, oh, yeah, I did this personal I
reached this personal goal and I was listening to this
song at this moment.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
In times because I have those, I got those, I
have those same experiences where.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I was in this situation the light was this low
and this song started playing like I was in a
nice restaurant, the food was great, the lights were dim,
and they started and it was placed a song to
the exact moment that you're you're living in for sure,
and you'll always remember it.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
M absolutely all right, man, before we let you go.
How does fashion fit into the bigger picture of what
Julya is painting.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
I think that, like I said, I'm trying to create
moments that people can remember, right, So I think people
will with this song. It will kind of display that
I'm creating moments that people.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Can relate to.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
And seeing the beauty in the details and not just
the obvious.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
So with this record portraying that you can.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
Look forward to the rest of my music that I'll
be putting out and working on to display the same
energy and the same field going forward.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
All right. Lastly, man, for someone chasing a feeling they
can't quite explain, what is one thing they should understand.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
About moment like that, I feel like what's natural? Don't
try to be like don't try to replicate or create something.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
That you're not. All right, God, July, let us know

I do want to say, don't cite this is the
frequency of the fearless. You know not everything that matters
is loud, that every moment announces itself. Not every connection
(01:28):
comes with the warning. And sometimes it's just a look,
a present, a feeling you can't explain, but you know
when it happened, and just like that it's gone, but
it stays with That's the space Tonight's guest creating his
music not by over explaining, not by forcing emotion, but
(01:52):
by giving you just enough to feel something and letting
you carry the rest. Because real artistry doesn't always tell
you what to think unless you read something didn't realize
you felt, and tonight we step into that moment. You're
not just here for a talk show, and this isn't
just radio, this is revival for your mind, body, and spirit.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
Hey, what's going on board July from Toronto? Hey, if
you have to July TI Radio.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Absolutely, man, we are super excited to have you with
us tonight, Man and July. Where we really you know,
get into the music. What's been on your heart and
mind lately, what's.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Been on my heart.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
It's just pretty much getting out that feeling that just
you know, music, releasing music that touches people people could
relate to, and just connecting with the overall world.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Absolute man, how's the ride so far?
Speaker 7 (05:28):
It's been going pretty well. I've been getting a lot
of good feedback on the music.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
I make. People love what they're hearing, people could relate
to it.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
It stands out and I'm just I feel like I've
been jenting my message across.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Indeed, Indeed, you said, you know, getting out the feeling
or getting over the feelings of you know, just going
through the process of doing this, you know, going around
in interviews hugging next some babies, that type of thing,
you know, the warm the masses up. But explain that feeling.
(06:06):
I'm sure a lot comes with not only being creative,
but having to understande understand the business side of it.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
So it's more like a feeling of like kind of recognition.
You know, everybody has that moment where you feel like
there you got to stand out and try new things.
So my thing is kind of, don't be afraid of
try new things because it might change your life.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
What new things have you tried lately?
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Trying different sounds, different production when it comes to like music,
and as I expressed in this most recent song, being
more vulnerable with myself.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Yeah, okay, okay, Well what I meant, I mean, yeah,
I was gonna get to that too, you know, with
the me to try this project, but more so.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Like in your personal life. What have you tried that's new?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Man?
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I tried, I don't I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
completely left with this one.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
I don't really like seafood, but I tried. I tried sushi. Uh.
I tried some sushi for the first time, and damn
it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, Okay, so you're how much is that?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that that is a new experience. So did you
have like some type of what you know, reserve about
trying it beforehand? Uh?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Yeah, the whole the whole thing about it just being
like raw like just raw fish.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
It kind of it kind of had deteriorated from it,
you know.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yeah, we just opened up a Noble here in Toronto,
so I thought I would try it out.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Like all right, we got another one, the other one
on the sushi train. All right, all right, so let's
start with fashion. Uh such a dope song. I definitely
like the vibe you created doing with it. So let's
(08:29):
start with the feeling of that. Uh what what was
the real life moment that inspired this song?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
So what really inspired it was my kind of like
fashion week as a whole, like taking that trip to Paris,
New York and just being involved with being a part
of fashion week, like from a from the perspective of
a fan of like seeing clothing and being a part
(09:01):
of that culture. But it also just was like inspired
by a room filled with like the right energy, you
know what I mean. Yeah, there's always there's always just
that that one person that you know that you notice
when you're out.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
And they're not even trying, they're not allowed, they're not
doing too much.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
But somehow they just they just shift the they just
shift the energy in a room as soon as they
walk in, you know.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
And I've experienced that with women that.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
I've been in contact with and relationships with, and that's
what inspired this record.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Yeah. Yeah, Fashion Week going to the Bench, I would say,
is a dream come true for some people. So if
you will, for those who haven't had the chance to
experience that, like Pat paint the scene, how did it look?
How was how was the food that was the whatever
they had? I don't know, I'll never.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Oh man, it was.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It was like.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
It was all over in Paris, and like the districts
they call it like, I don't exactly, I'm not I
don't speak French, so I can't pronunciate the exact like
location as perfect. But in New York they got fast
as well. That's it's really popular there and everything goes
(10:28):
down in Manhattan soul like around the Canos Street and
Mulberry Street. So if you ever get a chance to
go there in September or during the spring, I definitely
suggest you.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Guys check it out and you'll understand why this this
song kind of hits so hard.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, so you had this experience this moment. It feels good,
it feels like you belong. When did you realize it
needed to become music?
Speaker 8 (11:02):
H I realized that the music when that unspokable, uh,
the unspeakable.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Like recognition of like like I said before, when you
when somebody is just when somebody just has that energy
in a room that you're in and you just appreciate
the small and minor details of what they got going on.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
You know, Yeah, the minimal the minimalistic of them.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Not trying too hard, but you appreciate everything about them.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah. You you mentioned energy quite a bit. Uh. Are
you a reader of energy? Can you pick on people's
pick up on people's energy.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
If it comes to like moons in the stars like astrology? No,
I don't.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
I don't read deeply into so yeah, science, but I
do feel off of energy, Like if somebody has great
energy that's around me, I typically.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Want that to be around. Like if if if you're
your energy is low, you're not really.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
In the highest spirits, then that's not something I really
want to be around.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
If I if I got to be honest.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Mm hmm. Yeah, man, going back to the record, you
intentionally kept this track minimum. I guess there's a science
to that, you know, uh what the but what I
want to know what does script and things back allow
you to do as an artist?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Mm hmmm. In a sense, it's kind of like.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Given something easy to remember and so that people could
kind of repeat it and it sticks in their heads.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Like the intention behind this one is something that the
ladies could kind of get ready to.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
You know what I mean, Like you're stepping out, You're
gonna take You're gonna take your time to put that
extra detail into how you look and it's not going
to go un noticed by whoever's out there that's going
to see.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, man, this is no shot at ladies. But you
know the song is like two minutes and thirty two seconds.
They're gonna have to replay that joker like back.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
To the bad yep, repeat, pick up repeat, I've.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Never seen the one will get ready in two minutes
and thirty two seconds, that's right.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
But for however however long they take, I'm appreciate it
if they come out looking fly for show.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Definitely, I think you did this intentionally, they have to
keep playing all going genius my man. All right, well guys,

All right, you guys are rocking with it, Yes, yes, yes, sir, right,
keep that in rotation for your ladies out there. Let
it be your wake up jam year, get ready jammed
anytime you're about to hit the scene, because if you
(17:05):
want to, yeah, I ain't gonna say that, but this
is your song. Now what I was going to say,
If you want to be seen, got to be on
the scene. So that's what it is. Let's go ahead
and bring you live back.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Yo yo yo, Well man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah, Vigilante Radio playing my song Passion weeps absolutely.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
So there's this concept of quiet luxury. What does that
mean to you? Beyond music?
Speaker 8 (17:41):
Beyond music? Like what quiet luxury it means to me?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
And in the let's say, from the garment perspective, is
no loud or heavily branded clothing items like if them
from like if you know you know, if you know
what this silhouette is, then you just know what it is,
rather than a headly branded shirt that just says like
(18:07):
whatever brand on it, like I don't know, for example,
like a T shirt that just says Louis Baton, Like
that's a that's more of just a basic shirt, rather
than if you stepped out in a Tom for It tuxedo,
you might not know that it's Tom for It. But
(18:27):
the quiet luxury perspective of it is the silhouette.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
M Yeah, yeah, I like that too, Man, quiet luxury.
You ain't got a hashtag everything.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Man, So Toronto shows up in your sound. How has
Toronto tapped your artistry?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
I want to say Toronto has shaped my music in
the in the perspective of the lingo that I put
in my songs.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
They try to say like we make dark music here
in Toronto, and that the weather here majority it gets
dark early, it's always cold, so we make like cold,
we make like dark cold music. H I definitely think
(19:33):
that shapes a lot of what I create. And a
big thing that we that we do here in Toronto
is we take city drives like that's a that's like
a tourist thing to do. We drive through the city,
through the scene of tower, through the bright lights, and
(19:54):
we play like a specific genre or style of music.
So I know, perfos, what I'm trying to create. If
I take that drive and the song, it's perfectly getting
that esthetic, if you get.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
What I'm saying. Yeah, absolutely, I like that.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
So that kind of shaped the production and the vibe
that we get when we're making music here in Toronto.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah. I never really thought about that in that perspective. Yeah,
I didn't notice a unique sound, but there was like
some kind of I wouldn't use the word dark, but
I guess that's the breakway to explain it, like a
dark and beyond, not like sad dark, but like uh,
(20:49):
I called it the lone wolf energy.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
You know, you get like yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Exactly, or you know a lounge that's real well that's
dimly lit and you can you know, chill in the
cut and just converstate and vibe or.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Just say nothing at all because the music is dope.
Yeah much, Yeah, man, I think your song fits right in.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
It's definitely something that either he could out through it
or just chill and listen to the music.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, exactly exactly what we're going for, all right, man,
you did it.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
All right? So do you think music can recreate moments
like I know you know this is I won't. I
don't know if it was your first trip too Fashion
Week in Paris? But do you believe music can recreate moments,
(21:55):
especially if a song is about a particular.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Moment, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
I think music is really opinionated, so like the right
song needs to be heard in the right place in
my opinion, Like you won't listen to an upbeat record
when you're feeling this like when you're not feeling that way, or.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
You won't listen to like an you won't listen to
like an R and B song when you're in a
high intensity like some people do.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
But that's not that's not generically how it's placed, right,
So you might you might be.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
You might have had been in the gym and.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
You got your personal your pr your personal record and
like a bench press.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Because you were listening to the I don't know.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Let's say, like a Gunna song that is about working
out or something like that. I don't know, I'm not
don't quote me.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
On that exact song reference, but.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
You'll remember that highlighted moment with that song because it's
kind of like, oh, yeah, I did this personal I
reached this personal goal and I was listening to this
song at this moment.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
In times because I have those, I got those, I
have those same experiences where.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I was in this situation the light was this low
and this song started playing like I was in a
nice restaurant, the food was great, the lights were dim,
and they started and it was placed a song to
the exact moment that you're you're living in for sure,
and you'll always remember it.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
M absolutely all right, man, before we let you go.
How does fashion fit into the bigger picture of what
Julya is painting.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
I think that, like I said, I'm trying to create
moments that people can remember, right, So I think people
will with this song. It will kind of display that
I'm creating moments that people.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Can relate to.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
And seeing the beauty in the details and not just
the obvious.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
So with this record portraying that you can.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
Look forward to the rest of my music that I'll
be putting out and working on to display the same
energy and the same field going forward.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
All right. Lastly, man, for someone chasing a feeling they
can't quite explain, what is one thing they should understand.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
About moment like that, I feel like what's natural? Don't
try to be like don't try to replicate or create something.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
That you're not. All right, God, July, let us know

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
