Speaker 3 (00:47):
Hey, Hey, Hey, what's going on? Guys.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Welcome to another incredible episode of Vigilantes Radio live right
here on iHeartRadio, and I am your host, Deani. We
have a very special guests for you, guys who could
definitely want to stick around for that and as a
matter of fact, text your buddies, your family members are
even shared on social media right now and let them
know that we are about to dive deep into another interview.

(01:12):
Before I bring my guests on, I do want to say,
don't lose sight. This is the frequency of the fearless.
You know, there is a difference between making music and
building a world, because anybody can drop a track, anybody
can catch a vibe, but not everybody can create something

(01:34):
that speaks to different people in different ways at the
same time. That takes intention, that takes awareness, that takes rain.
Tonight's guest isn't just trying to fit into one lane.
He's blending hip hop, R and B and pop into
something that reflects how people actually live, how they feel,

(01:56):
and how they experience music.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Because, let's be real, life doesn't come in one genre.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Some days, you know, you may feel like some hard
hit bars, some knights might feel like melodies, and some
moments feel like memories you wish you could replay forever.
And the question becomes, can you create something that captures
all of that? This ain't just music talk, it's identity,

(02:24):
creativity and its expression. You're not just here for a
talk show. And this isn't just radio. This is revival
for your mind, body.

Speaker 3 (02:33):

He's crafted a unique sound that blends storytelling, melody, and

Volume two showcases that range, delivering something for every type
of listener whilst staying authentic to the vision he has
as an artist. So please join me in saying welcome
friend to kill. Hey, Hey, welcome up.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
What's up? How you doing pretty good? Or man, I'm
doing amazing.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Right man?

Speaker 4 (05:07):
That is fantastic to here, man, before we just really
kick off into everything, what's been on your heart and
mind lately?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
My heart and mind lately? Honestly, I've just just released
the EP, as you said, so it's just about how
can I get it out there? So as an independent artist,
you gotta be a full team. You gotta be a label.
You got to be the manager, you've got to be
the assistant, you got to be the pr you got
to be everything. So my brain is just going a

(05:38):
mile limnute.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
So I heard.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I heard that Micheale. Man, that sounds exhausting. How do
you do it?

Speaker 3 (05:47):
One day?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
At a time, one step at a time, Gotta do
what you gotta do your passion, you know, So it's uh,
you just got to push, You got to be creative,
You gotta hope and pray that you get seen. I
think that Internet is so oversaturated, so it's very hard
to actually make some noise because everybody thinks they're somebody,

(06:10):
regardless if they have it or not. So it's very
hard for you to actually fift through and see the
people who actually take their craft serious.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely. Even in this.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Podcast space, we're all fighting for everyone's attention.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
There's so many podcasts out there, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
And it's always a constant How can.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I say that, it's a constant grind to stay relevant.
Let me just put it that way.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
I coach artists all the time and tell them, you know,
you have a million things fighting for people's attention, and it's.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
All how you cut through the clutter.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
But man, we are so glad that you were here.
When people hear your name years from now, what do
you want.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Them to say?

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Michael brought to the game that was different.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
He was hard working, tensional, very passionate, respectful, appreciated, everybody
from the top to the bottom and definitely honed his craft.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Nice, So let's speak about that craft. You're blending hip hop,
R and B and pop. Like I mentioned earlier, when
did you realize you didn't want to be boxed in
into one drum?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I think like most people, like we don't wear the
same shoe every day, We don't wear the same clothes,
we don't wear the same hairstyle. We switch it up,
and the same thing goes with the radio or the
music we buy o our playlist, like we listen to
multiple things. So like trying to tell an artists like
you can only sing love songs, like that's crazy to me.

(07:51):
So I only speak from experience and like everybody else,
like you know, you may go to the club and
turn up with your friends. You may have a little
happy good time when somebody find you, you know, have
a little grown people moment. Then you might fall in love.
Then you're gonna have heartbreak at some point in life,
somebody may pish you off, so you might have a

(08:13):
little aggressious aggressive moment. So it's just it's life. Life
is not one note. So combining all of that tell
a really good story. So people can follow along and relate.
And sometimes I even write songs that aren't necessarily my story.
It's just you know, you sit with your friends, your
family that got their own story and you know, articulating it,

(08:36):
putting it into the music form so everybody can relate.
Like I was recording in the studio and I was singing,
doing this love song really nice, and then the next
track was talking about cheatings and everyone was like, how
did you go from I love you to cheat on
your man?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
And I was like, you know, I feel like that's life.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
So you may have a man and he's not doing
you right. So I'm telling Shorty, just cheat on your
man for one night. I'm not saying that's right, but
that's the reality we live in. So that's how that
came about.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Man, you said that ain't right, but she pushing the message.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's real.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
That ain't real, man, that's part of the problem.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
But like I remember, I always remember as a kid
watching Creep TLC when they told her behind the scenes,
they said left Eye refused to be in the video
at first, and then when she was in the video,
she put the she put duct tape on her her lips,
but she didn't believe in it, but that was one
of them. Successful was right because it tells something even

(09:45):
if we don't agree with it. Sometimes, you know, when
you're mad, you think about this stuff like I should.
I'm not necessarily going to do it, but I should.
So I think that's the pleasure of music.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Man, my mind doesn't go there.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I oh, but I've been in those shoes, bro, I
walk that path, you know, cheating and getting cheated on.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, let's just say I left that back in the past.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
And it's not it's not a good feeling for either party.
You know, it's devastating and uh and I'm very sad
to think that it's a popular thing to do.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
I know it's music. I know it's I know people
do it. You know.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
I can't change that, but hopefully I can, you know.
And I think it does start with music, the messages
and music. I'm not saying I'm anti certain subjects in music,
but you know, if we parade the wrong things, it's
going to keep continuing.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
But I think that's where the balance comes because I
absolutely agree. You know, I'm an advocate. Everyone should go
to counseling, everyone should be loyal, everyone should have open communication.
If ever you're not happy, let that be known. If
things are still not working out, you should, you know,
exit that relationship. For the record, I don't believe even
cheating people, but you know, for the people who do,

(11:03):
do the doo.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
You know, I love something for you too, Yes, yes, yes,
indeed yeah. Man, if you trigger some of my wounds, mchill,
I'm gonna send you.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Are very angry, man, I just played. I'm just playing
all right. So man, you know, record labels they try
to force you into these boxes.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Even when you distribute your music, they ask you how
to describe your music or choose one out of the box.
How do you keep it authentic instead of sounding like
your music is all over the place like Michel featuring Michel.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Honestly, it's a very organic thing for me, Like the
beat has to speak to me. I remember my engineer
fitting me. He's like, you have a really dupe range,
but he's like, it all sounds like you found very
authentically you. And I don't think that's something you can
teach somebody. It's just within them and they know themselves.
I feel like, if you know you, you're gonna know

(12:02):
what appeals to you, what sounds good to you, what
feels comfortable to you, And yeah, I think people could
tell when like, Okay, it's not a gimmick. He sounds
very natural what he's doing.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I love it. Let's talk about your influence.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Man, you got influences from Biggie to Joe to See
to Nicki Mina. Who's a lot of people are upset
with right now. But what did each of these are
those artists teach you?

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Specificly?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Biggie could tell a story like I would listen to
his music and it's like you're sitting in the room
with somebody just having a conversation. But he made it rhyme,
So I was like, wow, you gotta tell a story.
You can't just be saying stuff. It really got to
make sense. You want people to follow along. So I
really got that from Niggie, Jo Desy. I just loved
their whole organic style around the way. It was really effortless.

(12:54):
It wasn't doing too much. It was relatable. So I
enjoyed that. Nikki just flow. She just have fun, like
she could bounce on any genre and it feels sound
like her and like I'm like, wow, don't just get
stuck in like one little box, have fun with it,
be yourself, and then Foxy Brown like her cadence crazy

(13:17):
crazy on the track, and then actually Olivia Vizounce. I
remember I heard Olivia bizounce and she rapped, she sang,
she was harmonizing cuss words and stuff, and I said, wow,
you could do all that on one track.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah, that's a wide range of talent, man, and I
I could tell why you're so talented. You also mentioned
one of music that appeals to men and women alike.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
And you do that pretty well.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
You have a great balance was speaking to to both genders.
But what does that balance look like when you're writing?
Do you have these particular people in mind? Or it's
just your creativity flowing.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
It's just the creativities blowing. Like I wrote this one
song that was sexual, and then I specifically didn't want
my lyrics to be too explicit towards the female and
I wanted the female feature to come in and really
do her big one because I think it sounds more
appealing for the female to be saying it then for

(14:29):
me to say it. So I just try to be
like more like thinking outside the box, like you writing
a sex song. Well, we have Trey songs. You have,
Chris Brown had r Kelly, you had Joashy. How do
you write about the subject matter that these legendary artists
had done already? So I had to get into my

(14:50):
creative bag. And I have a track on my album
and it really tells a whole story of you in
a relationship. It's your birthday. Ask your girl like, Hey,
are you okay if we do a three? And she
said cool. If we go to the club and we
find a battye and we both can agree, I might

(15:10):
give you your birthday guests and then you pick one out,
send her bottle, you give each other the look, y'all
meet in the little parking lot. Then you go to
the spot and do your big one. So it was
like really telling a story. And then like when I
sent that over to the feature of the artist roun
E on the Hook, he was like, wow, your pen game,

(15:31):
because like I painted the story perfectly. Then I got
an artist from Miami, miss Jackson, to jump on it
and do her thing, and she messed that beat up
and I was like, we got one, So yeah, yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Got one, all right.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
So let's talk about Michael's World Volume two. What was
the vision going into this project.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Number one was more early too thousands, more like pop driven,
and then this one I wanted it to be more
R and B driven, and then I knew from there
I wanted to be more aggressive and like it was
just a natural progression in my brain. So it was, yeah,
telling the story throughout all of the projects I'm doing.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
All Right, How different is Volume two from Volume one?

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think one definitely the early two thousands, so it
has like a whole that type of vibe. But then
this one more current And.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yeah, when you say current, you mean like as far
as production.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, that this song sounds it sounds like it's gonna like,
you know, it's not just dated. It can last now
and for years from now we'll still be, you know,
doing its thing. That type of energy versus the other one.
It sounds very like I took a time capsule and yeah, yeah, okay,
I gotta I gotta go back and check it out.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's just a continuation.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
I know that the you know, the sound is up
to date, but is it a continuation from what you
were building with Volume one?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yes, it was just I remember I had wrote on
the paper, I'm like, okay, we're gonna start more pop,
then we're gonna do the R and B. Then we're
gonna go a little bit more streets, but make sure
it always blends. And then I would like write down
subject matters, make sure I hit everything, and then after
I hit every subject matter that I wanted, I just
let it flow. And then like whenever I hear a

(17:35):
beat and it speaks to me, and then I'm like,
I don't know if I do another EP, do I
do an album, do I do singles? And I just
let it flow from there.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, you took a different angle on relationships with my type.
Why was it important to go beyond surface level attention.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Because I feel like that's all people talk about if
you go on social media, It's just like, Okay, you
got the ballers, just got the baddies. But what about
the people who don't fit in these categories? Or what
about the girls who are more than just a pretty face?
What about the ones who are really independent, the ones
who really worked hard at their jobs, their careers, schooling

(18:19):
and not being outside like that, like that's something you want,
that's something you actually want to suddle down with. And
I wanted to paint a picture to let people know like, hey,
like I grew up on like like I like the music,
the Rider Diye type stuff. So I was like, can
we bring that back? Can we bring that back?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Can we? Because does it exist anymore? I saw that,
I saw Bunny and clubs, like, what is that? You know?
My last girl she called the cops on me.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
I told her, very funny, You're not very bunny like
Buddy would never.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
But this is, like you said, man, this is the
world we live. Unfortunately, you know, loyalty is cheap.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
But yeah, man, how can we get that Bunny and
Clyde back where it's me and.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
You against the world.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I feel like if everybody just focused on themselves, doing
some real self worth a journal in meditation on your
wellness journey, and do your counseling. Figure out yourself before
you jump into a relationship, so you know what you want,
you know your boundaries, you know your expectations, and then

(19:35):
when most people lead like that, you have your own
individual identities and then you can build together and you
already got all those temptations out.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Of the way.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
But that's just me. I know, people gonna do what
they do, but that's my mindset.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Michael sounds like you know a thing or two.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Maybe all right.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Man, So summer in California came from a real experience.
How important is it for your music to come from
real moments?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
I think that for me, that's the only way I
can create. Like, you gotta be naturally inspired. You actually
have to live, you have to have to see swoons,
you got to be around different things. And I think
traveling is a beautiful thing because it opens your eyes
to different ways of life, different ways of living, art, food, music, accents,

(20:27):
just just everything. And I just stoke everything and that's
why I love traveling. And then I never know what's
going to speak to me till it does.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
But yeah, yeah, did that trip unlock something for you?
Creativity or creative wise?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Or that sun, the palm trees, the perfect weather, everyone
just looking real nice and happy. And I was like, baby,
we're in Hollywood. Were here, you know, top back drank,
wind blowing. I was like, well, yeah, I feel like
I'm in the movie. So I was like, yeah, I'm

(21:03):
very inspired by this.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
So you went to Hollywood? I did, Wow, Yeah that's
some magic in that city. Sure.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, I felt like I'm like, okay, I fit right
in here, where's the creator?

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, fit right in. All right, guys, let's get into
some music. We have my type. Youre Clyde by Michel

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Like I would love to, you know, hit the town
and the drop top and just go cruise to city
with Bunny, see what we can get into, you know,
see if she down with us some gangster stuff, not.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Just playing, but yeah, I definitely want to vibe out
like that. It's a dope dope song. A vive out too.
All right, let's bring Michale back on. Yo yo yo,
welcome back, welcome back. What's up her?

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yes, sir, so man, you have energy records and you
have meaningful records. Like I said, you have a very
unique approach to music. You find the sweet spot, you
have the balance there. So you have this track call Forever,
y'all that brings that party, energetic vibe. How do you
balance fun records with the deeper ones.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Honestly, I just be clicking clicking to music. Like sometimes
I go through some producers catalogs then like whatever speaks
to me, or like I'll say some reference tracks and
they'll make a custom beat. Or sometimes I just like
record a hook and then I say, I'm like, oh,
can y'all make a beat around this? I'm thinking this
type of vibe? And I guess it just depends on

(25:50):
my mood. Yeah, I've worked with what twenty four different artists,
fourteen different beat makers, and I find like everybody got
their day tweet spot when it comes to the beat makers.
And yeah, like one of my tracks he only did

(26:12):
like pops, not pop, but like dance, and I'm like, well,
I want a little r and B crump, Like I
need a little something, and he gave me this beautiful
like alternative R and B vibes, and it's some of
my favorite stuff.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
So yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
You approach writing differently depending on the vibe, right.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Sometimes, well, usually it's a mumble. I'll start there. Usually
I just mumble along and then I.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Feel in the words and there.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Sometimes my verses they're like it's like a puzzle. I
I write one part, but then I want to move it.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Then I put it down.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Then I go back a day or two. So I
put it down, like I gotta be like really like
just cruising a car or something and just let it flow.
I don't like to just you know, some artists can't
really just sit there and just I need to bang
this out in twenty minutes. I just I don't put
pressure on myself. I let it flow and then yeah,
yeah like that.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
How long does your process normally takes.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean it really depends. Like them catch you little
feel good tracks, I'll finish that in like a week.
But like if it's like really more personal and I'm
really trying to really fact by facts by facts by facts,
that takes too long, but I mean, I get it done.
But like I'm like, this is I gotta say that.

(27:35):
Then you know you're putting a lot of effort for
a lot of side process and writing stuff down and yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
You work with a multiple artists on this. What do
you look for in features from artists?

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Like how do they make the cut? First?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I usually write for a specific type of voice depending
on the track, so like, and then like I'm usually
always scrolling on Instagram or TikTok, and then if I
hear somebody I really like, I'll save it. And then
I'm like, Okay, they got they put effort into making
a video, they have professional photos. You know, they're taking

(28:17):
it series, so I save them. And then based on
the track, I'm like, this voice would definitely be suitable
for this, the matches the vibe. And sometimes I'll literally
write for the artist I here. I'll reach out to
them and make sure they're like one of the work
and all that and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
All right.

Speaker 4 (28:36):

internet and check out more music.
