00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:24.079

This joint dope, I like it.
00:02:27.438 --> 00:02:29.612
I like it Shout out to Pure Space.
00:02:29.612 --> 00:02:30.536
Pure Space.
00:02:31.097 --> 00:02:32.061
Yeah, Pure Space.
00:02:32.061 --> 00:02:40.941
We here back with my homie Taz, but this time we're talking about Confessions, Confessions.
00:02:40.941 --> 00:02:46.340
Let's get right into it, man, because we ain't going to cut all the extra stuff out.
00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:47.534
We're going to get right into it.
00:02:47.534 --> 00:02:51.458
What made you come up with this album title?
00:02:52.841 --> 00:02:53.262
That's funny.
00:02:53.262 --> 00:03:03.458
So, as you know, a little back story of like some of my situations I was experiencing with people, they just was basically asking me to tell the truth.
00:03:03.458 --> 00:03:08.098
So that motivated me to like confess, you want me to tell the truth?
00:03:08.098 --> 00:03:09.241
I'm going to tell my side.
00:03:09.241 --> 00:03:13.173
I'm going to tell, like you know, how I'm living, how I see it, what my experience is.
00:03:13.274 --> 00:03:20.554
So, so when you told me the name of it, I was like we about to get like an R&B joint, I feel like it gave a little.
00:03:20.995 --> 00:03:23.286
Um, none of the songs are really R&B.
00:03:23.286 --> 00:03:29.695
I might have got two, maybe three slow songs, but um, all the songs turned up.
00:03:29.829 --> 00:03:30.831
Yeah, the reason why I said that?
00:03:30.831 --> 00:03:32.774
Because you know Confessions by Usher.
00:03:33.436 --> 00:03:33.876
Uh-huh.
00:03:33.896 --> 00:03:34.918
You know that one about him.
00:03:34.918 --> 00:03:36.542
What was it about?
00:03:36.542 --> 00:03:37.643
It was about JD.
00:03:37.643 --> 00:03:39.334
That's what happened with the JD.
00:03:39.334 --> 00:03:43.120
That like was real life and he wrote it and put it on the song.
00:03:43.409 --> 00:03:44.314
Yeah, Usher sing it.
00:03:44.649 --> 00:03:48.994
That's why I, like you know in the video, you know everybody thinking like damn, he done messed off on Chili.
00:03:48.994 --> 00:03:55.325
Oh, remember, but it was really about JD and his issues.
00:03:55.325 --> 00:03:58.155
He was telling his story, yeah he was telling his story on the song.
00:03:58.878 --> 00:03:58.978
Oh.
00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:01.855
So what you?
00:04:01.855 --> 00:04:05.122
This is like your first big project, right, Mm-hmm.
00:04:05.122 --> 00:04:08.837
What is it like to like go like?
00:04:08.837 --> 00:04:10.621
What's the background of it?
00:04:10.621 --> 00:04:14.780
Like, how does it take, what does it take to get into that mode?
00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:19.057
You know what I'm saying, like the expectations?
00:04:19.076 --> 00:04:21.985
um, going into this project, I didn't know what to expect.
00:04:21.985 --> 00:04:32.220
Um, because when I was working with cuz this was my first time actually working in the studio with him, like we did a song real bitch, but it was more like him send me to be.
00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:33.463
I booked my session at home.
00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:54.355
This time I flew down there in houston and um he literally I think I came with like six beats already, like drafted up done, but he was like nah, like we'll take two of those, you can do those, lay them down, but everything else you gotta be raw, like I want to make the beat right now and I want you to write right now, right, so it was different, so I ain't expect that.
00:04:54.355 --> 00:04:54.877
How was how?
00:04:54.916 --> 00:04:55.498
was the sessions?
00:04:55.498 --> 00:04:57.503
Was it like long sessions?
00:04:57.503 --> 00:05:02.937
Or was it because I know you when you get in that mode and you start writing, it come it was a vibe.
00:05:02.976 --> 00:05:12.394
So I was really nervous at first because I'm like I don't know what I'm gonna say, like I don't know what, what feeling I'm feeling right now to even put towards you know, this project.
00:05:12.394 --> 00:05:14.517
Um, because I'm no.
00:05:14.517 --> 00:05:20.439
I'm normally like if you send me the beat, I listen to it, I might finish it in a day or I might finish it at the end of the week.
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.639
But this time was like on site, like it had to be right now.
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.500
So as soon as we got in there, we had to take shots instantly.
00:05:28.021 --> 00:05:28.201
Right.
00:05:28.289 --> 00:05:29.615
So that kind of warmed me up.
00:05:29.615 --> 00:05:33.152
Then some of his people came in and everybody started talking a little bit.
00:05:33.152 --> 00:05:38.017
It kind of made me feel a little bit more comfortable with my setting and he just started cooking.
00:05:38.197 --> 00:05:45.264
He started making the beats and I'm like, as we all like talking mid-conversation, it just like dawned on me like this beat fire as shit.
00:05:45.264 --> 00:05:53.479
So now I'm just like in my zone, like okay, so I get my phone out and I just start like writing the first thing, like whatever the beat made me feel like.
00:05:53.479 --> 00:05:58.887
Like it might make me feel like I feel like talking some shit about some niggas, I might talk some shit about some bitches, right.
00:05:58.887 --> 00:06:05.229
But that was like the whole process of how we like turn up vibe, talk out and then he start cooking.
00:06:06.031 --> 00:06:11.002
Now, did you knock the whole tape out in a day, or was it like?
00:06:11.569 --> 00:06:17.622
No, so I think I flew down there Friday and we left Monday, but Monday we didn't work.
00:06:17.622 --> 00:06:24.219
But Friday, saturday and Sunday we was in the studio from 6 pm to 1 am every night.
00:06:24.219 --> 00:06:25.682
Yeah, it was long.
00:06:25.849 --> 00:06:27.093
How did you link with Big Kuz?
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.040
Instagram.
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.055
I reached out to him.
00:06:31.055 --> 00:06:32.776
Yeah, I think I was just on like a.
00:06:32.776 --> 00:06:45.825
I was going through a phase like either you can reach out, at least you say you tried, you can get a yes, or you can get a no, but at least I tried, right, and I used to always listen to like kinder man music and I would hear the tag you can ask big cousin.
00:06:45.825 --> 00:06:50.935
And I was like who is that?
00:06:50.935 --> 00:06:54.122
So I like Mo3, ken Erica Banks.
00:06:54.122 --> 00:07:01.516
And I was like, oh, he worked with a lot of females and I'm like the sound that he's working with sounds familiar like mine.
00:07:01.516 --> 00:07:05.115
So I reached out and was like, hey, how much for a beat.
00:07:05.115 --> 00:07:08.772
And he told me the price and I was like I could do that.
00:07:08.772 --> 00:07:17.762
He sent me the beat, I did the song to Real Bitch, did the video and we put it out and from there we just kept in touch and always talked.
00:07:17.762 --> 00:07:22.382
So this project kind of came about of us just talking and vibing on Instagram.
00:07:22.382 --> 00:07:24.737
And then he was like you need to drop a mixtape.
00:07:25.050 --> 00:07:26.175
That need to be your next step.
00:07:26.495 --> 00:07:27.238
And I was like okay.
00:07:28.392 --> 00:07:31.521
So we're getting tutelage from Big Cuz.
00:07:31.521 --> 00:07:36.754
How does that differ from like other people that you work with?
00:07:36.754 --> 00:07:37.790
Like, what was the Like?
00:07:37.790 --> 00:07:38.675
How was the vibe?
00:07:39.531 --> 00:07:48.221
I feel like Now with other people Like I worked with you before and a lot of times you'll be like, nah, I don't like how this sound Like, fix this.
00:07:48.221 --> 00:07:50.492
Yeah, but I think you catered more.
00:07:50.492 --> 00:07:53.378
You was more sensitive to my feelings because we were friends.
00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:55.182
No, I'm definitely like.
00:07:56.192 --> 00:07:58.920
You would be on me, but you wouldn't be hard on me.
00:07:58.979 --> 00:07:59.961
Because you know what I'm saying.
00:07:59.961 --> 00:08:05.860
Like me personally, it's the feeling so like when I hear your music I'm like, oh, you got to go hard.
00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:09.700
When I first heard your first song I'm like oh you got to go hard every time.
00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:11.252
But you believed in it.
00:08:11.252 --> 00:08:17.223
I didn't even know my sound of it for real, no, but you gave me a blueprint of how your process or how you do shit.
00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:22.221
So like when you recording you writing everything is like you going hard.
00:08:22.221 --> 00:08:27.766
So it's like I got to be on you like that, like I had to, but it wasn't like I ain't going to be too crazy on you.
00:08:27.766 --> 00:08:28.329
You know what I'm saying.
00:08:29.473 --> 00:08:30.116
Like what the fuck?
00:08:30.116 --> 00:08:31.389
He wasn't like cussing.
00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:32.528
He wasn't like cussing, because cuss don't cuss.
00:08:32.911 --> 00:08:35.377
But you know how some people Would be like no, do that shit again, do that.
00:08:35.377 --> 00:08:35.918
You know what I mean.
00:08:35.918 --> 00:08:36.319
Like nah.
00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:37.923
It was like that, but it wasn't like that yeah.
00:08:37.923 --> 00:08:40.003
He was like I would.
00:08:40.003 --> 00:08:45.238
I guess I would feel myself Just getting tired, like because from 6 o'clock To 1 am, that's a lot.
00:08:47.372 --> 00:08:51.137
That's a long hours, and then we had to like it wasn't no breaks.
00:08:51.657 --> 00:08:55.481
You probably I mean you already taking a break, you're sitting down and you're rapping and there's no breaks.
00:08:55.481 --> 00:09:08.239
Um, it would be like times where I would be rapping like one of the lines you know, this pussy got power when the niggas finna check and I would I wouldn't be standing with the energy I'm supposed to come.
00:09:08.239 --> 00:09:12.375
When he was like, nah, again he's like you need to, you need to feel it.
00:09:12.375 --> 00:09:19.316
How do we feel when you, this pussy, got power and the nigga need to check and I would be like, all right, I would feel a way.
00:09:19.316 --> 00:09:21.876
I would be like, damn, why he hard on me like this.
00:09:21.876 --> 00:09:23.160
Then you got to think about it.
00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:27.211
He care about the project, like you putting money and time into it and he putting his time and his name on it.
00:09:27.232 --> 00:09:43.686
Yeah, yeah, I think too is when I envision stuff for any artist, but like even for you, it's like you want these people to recite everything you're saying and you want them to feel like damn, this shit is power.
00:09:43.686 --> 00:09:45.936
Like where the money at.
00:09:45.936 --> 00:09:50.758
You know what I'm saying and that's how you got to do it, so I know exactly what he was doing.
00:09:50.758 --> 00:09:51.401
You know what I mean.
00:09:51.401 --> 00:10:00.469
But it's definitely like sometimes you got to bring it out of that artist because they like just Like, nah, like you can be chill on certain songs.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:06.353
I learned from another producer that I was working with before I just named.
00:10:06.353 --> 00:10:19.032
But he would always tell me like when you get nervous and like you don't feel comfortable with what you're saying or how you're saying it, like just keep saying it over and over and over again on the mic until you feel like this one is it and you keep that flow.
00:10:19.032 --> 00:10:28.489
So we had to do it a few times and then he was like you got it do it again and then I would just be like fuck, and I would just yell that shit out.
00:10:28.509 --> 00:10:29.480
Was you standing up or sitting down recording?
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.243
I was sitting down.
00:10:31.086 --> 00:10:31.688
He asked me.
00:10:31.688 --> 00:10:37.105
He was like you want to do it sitting down in the booth with everybody out here, or you want to go in the back, private?
00:10:37.105 --> 00:10:44.402
And I was like nah, that's vibe out.
00:10:44.442 --> 00:10:44.945
That's good right here.
00:10:44.945 --> 00:10:46.815
What's some of the pros and cons that you experienced?
00:10:46.835 --> 00:10:49.427
so far through your journey of recording, Trying to get my sound right.
00:10:49.427 --> 00:10:55.586
That's a con Because you know, working with different people, everybody ear not the same.
00:10:55.586 --> 00:11:06.249
Like sometimes I will go home with songs that's supposed to be first draft, supposed to be mixed and everything, but you can still hear no errors in it.
00:11:06.249 --> 00:11:11.230
And it depends on the engineer finding the best engineer to work with.
00:11:11.230 --> 00:11:14.386
That's a con, a pro.
00:11:14.386 --> 00:11:21.733
The networking I done met some good people along the way that helped me get into places that I wasn't in before.
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:32.362
That's always a plus, and I think a lot of people fall off of the network and it's like they'll meet the person and then forget the person the next day.
00:11:32.362 --> 00:11:34.543
Like instead of like following up.
00:11:34.563 --> 00:11:35.265
I'm a contact.
00:11:35.265 --> 00:11:36.069
Hey how you doing.
00:11:36.069 --> 00:11:38.463
Have a good day, Good morning Good afternoon.
00:11:38.503 --> 00:11:40.523
The follow up is the most important part.
00:11:40.523 --> 00:11:51.508
When you, after you network, you gotta to do a follow-up, because if you don't, and you got to be consistent about networking, it's not just you don't do a meet and greet today and then it's like, oh God, I met this person.
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.583
Like you keeping in contact, it's like a friendship.
00:11:53.583 --> 00:11:54.844
You got to build it.
00:11:54.985 --> 00:12:02.655
Because a lot of times man, like for me, like artists come to me all the time, like yo, I want to work with you, but I be like okay.
00:12:03.617 --> 00:12:05.259
You won't hear nothing else and I won't hear nothing else.
00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:07.465
Like you know what I'm saying, like I'm not going to reach out.
00:12:07.465 --> 00:12:08.248
You want to work with me?
00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:10.508
Yeah, you want to work with me, but I'm not reaching out to you.
00:12:10.508 --> 00:12:17.585
You got to tell me why they make me want to work back with you.
00:12:17.585 --> 00:12:25.110
Show me, unless you got going on like your joint legit, then I'll reach out, but other than that, like it's like yo man, it's a two-way street.
00:12:25.110 --> 00:12:26.511
You know what I'm saying?
00:12:26.511 --> 00:12:28.451
You want to work, but you got to pull up.
00:12:29.013 --> 00:12:33.596
Some people I used to be one of them people Well, no, I was, but I wasn't.
00:12:33.596 --> 00:12:41.187
I would always reach out and then, like, I'll tell somebody I'd be like, all right.
00:12:41.206 --> 00:12:45.354
I can book it right there, and if I don't, I'd be like, all right, I'll use this for later and I'll come back to you.
00:12:45.354 --> 00:12:52.967
But some people just reach out because they just want to know like how much you willing to charge me for this if I want to get in the studio with you or do a podcast interview.
00:12:52.967 --> 00:13:00.750
But they don't think to keep going.
00:13:00.790 --> 00:13:02.012
You got to do it every day.
00:13:02.012 --> 00:13:07.227
Not only be consistent, be persistent, because, like you can be consistent, all you want.
00:13:08.421 --> 00:13:09.023
Don't change it up.
00:13:09.023 --> 00:13:09.725
People change it up.
00:13:09.725 --> 00:13:15.158
They kind of get blindsided, like today I want to be a singer and tomorrow I know how to rap a little bit too.
00:13:15.158 --> 00:13:16.626
But what's the main?
00:13:16.646 --> 00:13:17.108
focus.
00:13:17.108 --> 00:13:35.417
Keep the main thing, the main thing you got to Focus on, that, push that, yeah, what you think is bad for business in the industry that we deal with music-wise and hold on music and acting-wise because you do be acting a little bit, I do.
00:13:35.758 --> 00:13:37.003
You know what I'm saying, so what's?
00:13:37.043 --> 00:13:37.786
bad for business.
00:13:39.521 --> 00:13:40.968
What's bad for business?
00:13:46.302 --> 00:13:46.826
Not doing your part.
00:13:46.826 --> 00:13:47.913
Not doing your part not doing your part.
00:13:47.934 --> 00:13:54.438
Not doing your part, like if you know you working with somebody and you getting something lined up with somebody.
00:13:54.438 --> 00:14:02.221
Like, say, if we doing music and we got a studio session today and cancel because you can't make it or you forgot that's important.
00:14:02.221 --> 00:14:03.123
I don't want to work with you no more.
00:14:03.123 --> 00:14:04.065
It's Right, or you forgot that's important.
00:14:04.085 --> 00:14:04.806
Now, I don't want to work with you.
00:14:04.806 --> 00:14:06.189
No more, right, it's bad for your business.
00:14:06.189 --> 00:14:08.874
You're making it look bad for yourself Like you selling yourself short.
00:14:08.874 --> 00:14:15.523
Yeah, what's another one?
00:14:15.523 --> 00:14:20.147
Stop trying to finesse artists and creators out of like what they do.
00:14:20.147 --> 00:14:22.810
Yeah, you don't win that way.
00:14:22.810 --> 00:14:24.771
Nah, that's bad for business too.
00:14:24.771 --> 00:14:27.334
That's definitely bad, you're going to mess up your name doing that.
00:14:27.354 --> 00:14:30.257
This industry, is small and everybody knows everybody.
00:14:30.257 --> 00:14:34.258
The way the circle comes back and forth.
00:14:34.258 --> 00:14:36.147
Yeah, they be like how you know this person in Atlanta, how you know this person, how you know this person.
00:14:36.147 --> 00:14:38.991
I'm like, look man, I've been around these areas multiple times.
00:14:39.011 --> 00:14:44.362
This group, here know this group, everybody knows somebody and I build relationships with these people here, that know these people there.
00:14:44.362 --> 00:14:46.723
And you think you dogging out this one person.
00:14:46.804 --> 00:15:00.841
but this one person know the same people you know and that's why I'm trying to tell people like, be careful who you work with and be careful who you do business with, because if that person ain't good, the person ain't gonna be like yo who you work with.
00:15:00.841 --> 00:15:02.362
Oh no, I'm straight.
00:15:03.543 --> 00:15:06.967
I just kind of had a similar situation like that the other day.
00:15:06.967 --> 00:15:14.014
I walked in the room and I was like, uh-oh, bad for business in here, yeah, and it was just like these, my people.
00:15:14.254 --> 00:15:14.554
Right.
00:15:14.855 --> 00:15:15.595
You a visitor.
00:15:15.855 --> 00:15:17.097
Right, you in my territory.
00:15:17.097 --> 00:15:25.932
Yeah, exactly, a lot of times, man, you know, a lot of times it's a lot of groupie stuff that be happening too.
00:15:25.932 --> 00:15:37.173
I would say for me that's bad for business, like I can't bring you to somebody and you turn out being a groupie when I brought you to this person.
00:15:37.353 --> 00:15:38.115
You've had that happen.
00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:42.468
Man, yeah, and the sad part, it wasn't a female.
00:15:42.780 --> 00:15:42.974
It was a man.
00:15:42.974 --> 00:15:43.293
Yeah, men are groupies.
00:15:43.293 --> 00:15:43.693
Yeah, men groupies, yeah.
00:15:43.638 --> 00:15:44.195
And the sad part, it wasn't a female, it was a man, yeah.
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:44.863
Men are groupies.
00:15:44.863 --> 00:15:46.225
Yeah, men groupies too.
00:15:46.225 --> 00:15:47.012
I'm not surprised.
00:15:47.012 --> 00:15:49.527
Yeah, they're groupies too so it's like they do just as much female stuff.
00:15:50.527 --> 00:15:51.556
You know what I mean.
00:15:51.556 --> 00:15:59.584
You forget who you was loyal to, and then you go to, you go over there, and then now it's like how is it over?
00:15:59.604 --> 00:16:00.645
there Is the grass greener.
00:16:01.045 --> 00:16:02.907
If the grass greener, hey, let it be greener.
00:16:02.907 --> 00:16:05.069
But hey you know what helps me though.
00:16:05.390 --> 00:16:05.670
What.
00:16:06.129 --> 00:16:07.732
That's one less thing I got to worry about.
00:16:08.052 --> 00:16:10.715
Next, you know what I'm saying you just keep pushing on like.
00:16:10.754 --> 00:16:12.857
Yeah, just keep moving, Like I ain't got time for that.
00:16:20.021 --> 00:16:22.065
Like, but the groupie and studio etiquette Hmm studio etiquette.
00:16:22.085 --> 00:16:30.391
Studio etiquette is like if we in the club or we in the studio and my boy P, he in there too, he chilling you know what I'm saying.
00:16:30.391 --> 00:16:36.512
And then he just come up to the artist or the engineer or the producer and be like yo, yo, yo.
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.629
you should say it like this or hey, hey, hey, oh, no, no, no, you got to stay yeah you got to stay in the back.
00:16:41.629 --> 00:16:52.511
The only time you can tap into when an artist needs to make a correction is once I'm done and I'm doing a playback, like let me hear that If I'm not feeling it and I'm like hmm, should I give more energy?
00:16:52.842 --> 00:16:55.600
Then you can chime in and be like Now you're asking everybody else, yeah.
00:16:55.640 --> 00:16:56.542
I'm asking for your input.
00:16:56.742 --> 00:17:26.490
Then you could be like, yeah, you might want to say it a little harder, because you kind of found some yeah, I had that happen a couple times Like it was just one cat, he was an R&B singer too, and like I was working at the studio and the crazy part is the manager was that I knew, shout out to Miko Miko, he brought him in and, like this, dude thought he was like Trey Jones and dude thought he was like Trey Jones and he thought it was big time.
00:17:26.490 --> 00:17:32.596
So he like sitting on the on the uh, the table like he, you know, I'm saying like hey, now play this song, play this song, turn and turning up the volume and I'm like bro is this my session.
00:17:32.657 --> 00:17:34.663
On your session I'm looking like bro, I'm trying to listen to what.
00:17:34.663 --> 00:17:47.469
If I want to work with you, like what you doing, he like you know doing all this his producer like chilling, you know, saying he chilling, but he peeping the scene and he just like yeah, yeah, yeah, this the song right here, this the song right here.
00:17:47.469 --> 00:17:52.528
And turning up the volume and sitting on the things Trying to sing the songs and stuff, and I'm just like.
00:17:52.528 --> 00:17:56.181
I'm just sitting there like what am I doing?
00:17:56.181 --> 00:17:57.162
Wasting my time?
00:17:57.201 --> 00:18:02.124
Yeah, what we doing, you letting me hear it, and sure enough he recorded like once.
00:18:02.124 --> 00:18:03.085
That was it.
00:18:03.225 --> 00:18:06.186
He recorded once and then went on about his way.
00:18:06.186 --> 00:18:06.826
You know what I mean.
00:18:06.826 --> 00:18:09.288
But shout out to him Like he was talented.
00:18:09.288 --> 00:18:13.730
But that's the etiquette stuff that'll get you thrown out the studios.
00:18:13.730 --> 00:18:16.352
Because, like what, if you're walking up in Future and them joint, like that?
00:18:17.211 --> 00:18:18.793
And you're telling them you touching the knob.
00:18:18.793 --> 00:18:20.614
Comfortable here, but you were no better there.
00:18:20.653 --> 00:18:25.635
Yeah, you turning up the dang on controls and stuff, like bro, what we doing, you know what I'm saying.
00:18:25.635 --> 00:18:33.420
But yeah, studio etiquette groupies and stop trying to smash everybody you work with Please.
00:18:34.321 --> 00:18:37.381
We don't all want to be fucked on.
00:18:37.422 --> 00:18:38.763
Stop, like just stop.
00:18:38.763 --> 00:18:46.528
If she come on you, that's on you, bro, like pause, you know she come to you with some with her energy, that's on you.
00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:49.549
I've had producers, slash engineers.
00:18:49.549 --> 00:18:53.913
They'll work with me for the longest time and, like once, I put you in the friend zone, that's it.
00:18:53.913 --> 00:18:56.456
You can't climb out, especially if you're working together.
00:18:56.456 --> 00:18:58.157
I'm not fucking people I'm working with.
00:18:58.157 --> 00:19:03.578
That's bad, yeah, and they would just find their way like try to climb out the friend zone.
00:19:03.578 --> 00:19:05.667
Like you know, I be into threesomes and shit.
00:19:05.667 --> 00:19:08.128

00:21:55.910 --> 00:21:56.532
He's from here.
00:21:56.632 --> 00:21:57.113
Yeah.
00:21:57.393 --> 00:21:57.994
I didn't know that.
00:21:57.994 --> 00:21:59.442
Oh, you know another one.
00:21:59.442 --> 00:22:00.265
What's her name?
00:22:00.265 --> 00:22:00.866
You know girl from here.
00:22:00.866 --> 00:22:02.090
It's a girl.
00:22:02.090 --> 00:22:03.472
What's her name?
00:22:03.472 --> 00:22:04.937
It's a girl, what's her name?
00:22:04.937 --> 00:22:05.258
She sings R&B.
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.728
She was with Dreamville Ari Lennox.
00:22:08.949 --> 00:22:09.410
Ari Lennox.
00:22:10.221 --> 00:22:11.348
She ain't with Dreamville, no more.
00:22:11.470 --> 00:22:11.793
She not.
00:22:11.793 --> 00:22:12.700
Oh yeah, she's independent now.
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.991
They just like just you know, separated, but they did it on good terms.
00:22:18.011 --> 00:22:26.761
They still good Right after the Dreamville, the Dreamville, they make me a little scared to sign to a label, Like everybody go independent now.
00:22:26.782 --> 00:22:33.369
Well, I think what it is is because the contracts that they signing it don't be feasible for them.
00:22:33.369 --> 00:22:35.644
But they do.
00:22:35.644 --> 00:22:39.047
They turn to whatever year that it is, and then they want to go independent.
00:22:39.047 --> 00:22:41.148
They figure the rules I mean the game out.
00:22:41.148 --> 00:22:42.462
They figure the business out.
00:22:42.663 --> 00:22:45.370
I wonder what it's like if I figured out the game now, before I get there.
00:22:45.370 --> 00:22:47.144
Yeah, I still going to want that label.
00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:53.660
I think to me honestly, if it works for you, go to a major, you know what I mean.
00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:58.283
And then, once you done there, you know how to do it independently.
00:22:58.283 --> 00:22:59.625
Go independent like Boosie and them.
00:22:59.625 --> 00:23:02.693
You know what I'm saying, but like what makes you independent, though?
00:23:02.713 --> 00:23:05.019
Like because you're doing your own shows and dropping stuff?
00:23:05.019 --> 00:23:06.928
You have to book everything marketing.
00:23:06.928 --> 00:23:08.644
That's what I'm doing now.
00:23:09.301 --> 00:23:10.373
Dolph was doing all of that.
00:23:10.373 --> 00:23:11.000
Like you know what I'm saying.
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:19.006
He had big record labels trying to sign him, but he was but he wasn't.
00:23:19.006 --> 00:23:21.870
I thought he independent, because that's just the publishing deal you know what I'm saying.
00:23:21.870 --> 00:23:25.654
Like you're not signed to an actual label, you're doing everything on your own.
00:23:25.654 --> 00:23:26.657
The publishing is your.
00:23:26.657 --> 00:23:27.197
You know what I mean.
00:23:27.218 --> 00:23:42.973
Whatever publishing deal you got on the side, okay, and then you know, like when you when you in that type of game you know what I'm saying, Because you- got it.
00:23:42.973 --> 00:23:47.248
Costs to pay to play it costs to be recording.
00:23:47.248 --> 00:23:48.808
It costs to travel.
00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:59.222
It costs to everything Like you know what I'm saying the marketing Like, if you want, if you want your joint to go crazy on the reels, you got to pay Instagram, facebook.
00:23:59.242 --> 00:24:00.004
You got to pay them.
00:24:00.004 --> 00:24:02.668
You got to TikTok.
00:24:02.668 --> 00:24:05.112
What's them little Instagram accounts that be doing promo?
00:24:05.292 --> 00:24:07.255
Yeah, the promo accounts, the little promo pages.
00:24:07.255 --> 00:24:09.439
Like you know what I'm saying, it's so much out there.
00:24:09.439 --> 00:24:10.019
And then the only.
00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:12.028
Thing is like what's real and what's fake.
00:24:12.592 --> 00:24:16.449
Oh, the ones who be buying followers and likes and those going to be real.
00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:19.444
Now you done wasted your money and they only be having like two likes.
00:24:19.444 --> 00:24:21.828
Uh-huh, one of them don't always match.
00:24:21.828 --> 00:24:22.691
Yeah, some don't match.
00:24:22.770 --> 00:24:24.212
I always check the followers first.
00:24:24.212 --> 00:24:25.194
They'll always be fake.
00:24:25.194 --> 00:24:31.144
People get a blue check and be having 12K followers they're not even real people and then you could tell by the likes.
00:24:31.144 --> 00:24:32.249
It'd be like 40 likes.
00:24:32.249 --> 00:24:33.986
I'd be like oh damn, it's a fake page.
00:24:34.086 --> 00:24:44.981

00:31:50.153 --> 00:31:57.815
What you trying to give, I want this project to be like a summer anthem for the women.
00:31:57.815 --> 00:31:58.376
Ladies.
00:31:59.225 --> 00:32:00.430
So it's a bunch of anthems on there.
00:32:00.430 --> 00:32:01.153
It is.
00:32:01.153 --> 00:32:03.431
You got a listening party coming up, right.
00:32:03.771 --> 00:32:04.473
I do.
00:32:04.473 --> 00:32:05.076
What date is that?
00:32:05.076 --> 00:32:07.152
May 23rd?
00:32:07.152 --> 00:32:15.311
So far for my event, I've only sent out personal invites for my RSVPs, but I think I'm going to drop the—.
00:32:16.786 --> 00:32:17.690
You got to send one to him too.
00:32:17.690 --> 00:32:20.625
Okay, you coming, you got to send one to P.
00:32:20.644 --> 00:32:22.950
P, I mean Sammy aka P.
00:32:22.950 --> 00:32:26.097
Okay, For sure.
00:32:26.664 --> 00:32:28.352
May 23rd, you got this listening party.
00:32:28.352 --> 00:32:35.039
I'm mad, because normally you would send me something, so it's like I'm waiting to hear what it sound like too.
00:32:36.509 --> 00:32:37.553
I want y'all to be surprised.
00:32:38.405 --> 00:32:39.331
But I'm okay with that.
00:32:39.765 --> 00:32:49.457
The reason I want everybody to be surprised is because y'all heard Pretty Bitch and you heard Real Bitch and every other song, but you ain't heard nothing like this.
00:32:49.457 --> 00:32:52.152
I tapped into something different.
00:32:53.275 --> 00:32:54.116
What's um?
00:32:54.116 --> 00:32:58.930
What are the eight songs you got on here, Mm-hmm?
00:32:58.930 --> 00:33:01.933
What's your favorite one and why?
00:33:04.959 --> 00:33:09.750
Um, I'll say the first one I'm gonna drop, which is this how I'm Comin'.
00:33:09.750 --> 00:33:21.215
It's lettin', you know, like I ain't been puttin' music out in a minute y'all, but when I come on this project, I'm coming harder than what you ever heard before.
00:33:21.215 --> 00:33:23.029
It's a different energy.
00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:24.832
It's different from what you heard in the city.
00:33:25.449 --> 00:33:29.729
I don't really ever compare my music to anybody from out here, no disrespect intended.
00:33:29.729 --> 00:33:30.049
It's different.
00:33:30.049 --> 00:33:33.757
It's a disrespect intended, it's different.
00:33:33.757 --> 00:33:34.798
It's a different vibe.
00:33:34.798 --> 00:33:35.379
It's a fun vibe.
00:33:35.379 --> 00:33:43.134
It's just something that nobody heard from me and I have different things going on on each track.
00:33:43.134 --> 00:33:45.814
Like I got some talking about niggas.
00:33:45.814 --> 00:33:47.932
I got some talking about niggas and females.
00:33:47.932 --> 00:33:50.314
I got personal songs on there.
00:33:50.314 --> 00:33:51.990
I got freaky songs on there.
00:33:51.990 --> 00:33:55.860
I got all types of shit You're going to vibe either way, but it's all anthems for the summer.
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.452
It's all anthems, I think so, for the summer and beyond, when you drop your top down, you're going to be cranky.
00:34:00.452 --> 00:34:09.886
Now the question Because I'm real big on, like you know, I love music, but what songs do you feel like you can see on TV?
00:34:09.886 --> 00:34:14.029
Because I'm big on like sync, I love sync.
00:34:14.029 --> 00:34:16.592
I'm still pushing to get into sync, right.
00:34:17.793 --> 00:34:18.833
I have one.
00:34:19.514 --> 00:34:20.614
Just one out of eight?
00:34:20.614 --> 00:34:22.536
I beg to differ.
00:34:22.536 --> 00:34:24.297
I already know there's going to be some drinks.
00:34:24.297 --> 00:34:24.737
I'm like yo.
00:34:24.757 --> 00:34:31.083
this definitely can be on Each song can go on TV depending on the platform.
00:34:31.083 --> 00:34:39.649
Like, if you put me on some P-Valley or put me on some baddies intros like that.
00:34:39.669 --> 00:34:40.793
So look, here's the crazy part.
00:34:41.286 --> 00:34:43.514
I definitely kill that with this project you ever seen the Recruit?
00:34:44.201 --> 00:34:44.484
No, what's that?
00:34:44.484 --> 00:34:45.306
It's on Netflix.
00:34:45.306 --> 00:34:46.029
I've been watching it.
00:34:46.029 --> 00:34:46.811
I'm on season two.
00:34:47.192 --> 00:34:47.533
Okay.
00:34:47.814 --> 00:34:48.015
They.
00:34:48.015 --> 00:34:53.952
I always put it like this don't ever underestimate your sound.
00:34:53.952 --> 00:34:56.129
Yeah, because P-Valley.
00:34:56.129 --> 00:35:02.336
Yes, that definitely fit, but the Recruit is about, like CIA agents and lawyers.
00:35:02.724 --> 00:35:04.692
But they have, like when they about to go to work and go see.
00:35:05.125 --> 00:35:06.089
Yeah, and I'm listening.
00:35:06.089 --> 00:35:08.509
I'm like hold on, Are you playing Billie?
00:35:08.649 --> 00:35:10.188
Eilish, it don't make sense.
00:35:10.188 --> 00:35:15.987
Sometimes I be looking at that too, like when I watch certain shows or like movies.
00:35:15.987 --> 00:35:19.964
When they got like gun scenes and they about to go hard on the scene, I'm like, damn, my song would sound fire on this part.
00:35:19.964 --> 00:35:21.069
When they come through the door, like.
00:35:21.069 --> 00:35:22.622
Yeah that's what I'm saying.
00:35:22.622 --> 00:35:33.279
I like shit like that, like Power that would be fire it goes Mm-hmm, because you might only think P-Valley.
00:35:33.279 --> 00:35:37.375
I think that because they're like fun songs for girls.
00:35:37.394 --> 00:35:38.297
They're fun records.
00:35:39.425 --> 00:35:42.375
I do got a personal song on there.
00:35:42.375 --> 00:35:45.292
It's one that's catered to my son.
00:35:45.292 --> 00:35:51.607
Yeah, I feel like that can go for different types of things too, but mainly this project is fun.
00:35:52.227 --> 00:35:55.451
Well, before we get out of here, let's do.
00:35:55.451 --> 00:36:00.596
You know, I always do my tools, the gems, but before we do the gems, let's do.
00:36:00.596 --> 00:36:03.719
It's called like Build-A-Bear, like Build-A-Artist.
00:36:03.919 --> 00:36:04.260
Okay.
00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:05.161
Let's Build-A-Artist.
00:36:05.161 --> 00:36:12.772
So from lyrics like if you was to build an artist, it could be anybody.
00:36:12.772 --> 00:36:16.750
It can be anybody that you want to write the song, anybody you want to produce the song.
00:36:16.750 --> 00:36:17.794
You know what I mean?
00:36:19.428 --> 00:36:22.164
I'm going to go down the line of building an artist Like.
00:36:22.205 --> 00:36:26.136
the first thing is who would you want to write the song?
00:36:26.136 --> 00:36:31.514
Any artist, or you, even you.
00:36:34.745 --> 00:36:37.872

00:36:39.317 --> 00:36:40.949
Great writer Dolph to write the song.
00:36:40.949 --> 00:36:45.570
Who is the style to perform the song?

So you got Dolph as the writer, Meg as the performer.
00:37:02.914 --> 00:37:03.234

I feel more comfortable dressed like that.
00:37:19.739 --> 00:37:20.304

00:37:20.465 --> 00:37:26.413

Meg performing it Uh-huh, tiana Taylor styling it Uh-huh and Big Cousin producing it Made the artist.
00:37:48.244 --> 00:37:54.434
That's a tough artist, right there, right, that's how you build a test that's a tough all right before we get out of here.
00:37:54.434 --> 00:37:59.087
You know we always got the gym class, no matter where we at um also shout out to kitchen.
00:37:59.087 --> 00:38:02.913
The kitchen, dmv yes this dope area.
00:38:03.293 --> 00:38:04.777
Um for the podcast.
00:38:04.777 --> 00:38:18.030
Um, what is a gym that you learned from doing this album that you can give to the other artists out there female artists, male artists, any artists out there to store in their toolbox?
00:38:18.893 --> 00:38:19.495
Keep going.
00:38:19.495 --> 00:38:33.048
You're going to come across a lot of complicated things in your process that might feel like it's slowing you down or you might feel like you don't want to do it anymore, but just to keep going.
00:38:33.048 --> 00:38:40.533
Every, every day, literally since I've started this project, I have had so many downs and I just be like there's no way.
00:38:40.533 --> 00:38:49.968
I'm gonna see this through, like I'm not gonna get this project done, but like the more I keep going, the more I see it's getting accomplished off my checklist, off my whiteboard, and I'm like, all right, we almost there.
00:38:49.968 --> 00:38:52.553
Just keep pushing because you don't know what the end is going to be.
00:38:52.553 --> 00:38:54.056
It could be a good ending Like I'll come.
00:38:54.476 --> 00:38:55.077
That's a fact.
00:38:55.077 --> 00:38:55.919
Keep going, Don't.
00:38:55.919 --> 00:38:57.836
I think Pharrell said it.
00:38:57.836 --> 00:39:00.009
I seen it on Instagram a couple weeks ago.
00:39:00.009 --> 00:39:03.531
He was like just keep going, Keep creating.
00:39:06.368 --> 00:39:14.640
It sounds easier Because when you got life going on and you trying to focus on like your dream, it's like it don't really reality, don't seem like this.
00:39:14.784 --> 00:39:17.371
It's like where can I place my dream with all of this, With?
00:39:17.471 --> 00:39:17.852
all of this.
00:39:17.852 --> 00:39:19.156
You got bills, you got kids.
00:39:19.156 --> 00:39:23.531
You got this coming to you left and right Family, friends, foes.
00:39:23.531 --> 00:39:25.910
We got a lot of shit going on, so it's hard to keep going.
