00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.279
Hello, hello, hello.
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:16.079
Hello.
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:33.200
Below the surface.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.479
Below the surface.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.439
Deep down below, down below, underwater, underwater.
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.200
Thousands of meters down below.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.880
The underground underground.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.520
Flies, lies, lies.
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.280
Underground, underground.
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.000
Hip high, hip hop.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.799
Below the surface.
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.479
Below the surface.
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:19.439
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:20.879
What it do, what it do?
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:21.439
Yo.
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.159
Back at it again, below the surface.
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.879
This is season number eight.
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:29.359
No, I think it's seven.
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:30.079
It don't matter.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:30.959
We're still doing it.
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:31.519
We're moving.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.040
We've been doing it since 2020, this motherfucker.
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.000
We're back at it again.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:36.799
Hell yeah.
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.519
I gotta turn my headphones down just a little bit.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.319
Uh well, let's get it kicked off, man.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.799
I'm your boy Dirtbag Johnny in the place to be.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.480
I'm DJ Rick Rock.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:47.920
It's your boy T Dub.
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.159
We got special guests to kick the season off.
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.159
Smorgusborg in the building here.
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:52.799
Yes, sir.
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:53.200
Yes, sir.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:55.519
Smorgusborg.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:57.599
Thank y'all for having us.
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.280
We're back again.
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.120
Uh it's been it's been a minute since we've been on here.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.879
And I don't think we even came when we did the the intro, but you know, we had to whole season with y'all's intro.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.319
Technically, we were on it every episode.
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.080
So, I mean true, true.
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.719
Matter of fact, you don't run that intro back again.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.240
Thank y'all for having us, man.
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.960
It's been a minute.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.879
Uh it's always a pleasure catching up with y'all and you know, chopping it up.
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:25.520
Hell yeah.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.080
Yeah.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.360
Glad to have you back.
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:34.080
Yeah, Smorgusborg did the last season's uh intro music, and we rocked that for damn near all year, I think.
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.360
That was a long time.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.400
Yes, we did.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.599
That was the longest season running that we've had.
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:40.560
Oh, snap.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.919
With the most guests.
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.080
So, like people we didn't even meet before heard your music.
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:47.919
Oh, that's what's cool.
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.599
We had everybody shook.
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:52.800
They were like, oh, we can't make an intro.
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.319
How are we gonna make another intro?
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.319
I'm glad you guys liked it, and I hope everybody else did too.
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:58.800
Hell yeah.
00:02:59.039 --> 00:02:59.759
Hell yeah, hell yeah.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:08.080
Um, with that being said, man, we gotta give it up for Yuri Bosho Lane with this season's Steam music The Beatbox Champion.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.039
Yeah, that's gonna say hip hop and sushi.
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.319
Hip hop and sushi.
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:14.000
I like that.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.039
I like that.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.840
That sounds like a Jay Dylan tape.
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:20.240
Yeah, man.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.199
So what's been up, y'all?
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.159
What y'all been working on?
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.520
Well, the new album, of course.
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.199
Yeah, we just dropped a new album.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.960
Uh Everyone's Eaten Volume One.
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:27.840
Volume One.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:33.120
Uh something we worked on for, you know, quite a long time.
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.479
Uh and uh I'm happy that it's out now.
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.039
I'm happy that people get to to uh experience it.
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:54.240
Hey man, listen, it's one of those things that like I think I talked about it last time that that perfectionism that wouldn't let me you know put put stuff out, but you know, I I I feel like I got I'm happy with the product that came out.
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.159
Uh and I think it was the right time to put it out.
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.879
I think I think we've uh expanded as as as artists, as you know, creatives.
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.439
And I think it was the right time to kick it off for a a wave of new work, you know.
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:07.919
Hell yeah.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.759
That we got on uh loaded up.
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:11.360
I'm excited to hear it, man.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.560
I don't think I've heard it yet.
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.759
I don't think I've heard it yet.
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:14.400
It's it's short.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.680
I don't even know what it's considered.
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.920
If it's considered an EP, LP, whatever the hell it is, but it's like it's for sure LP.
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.480
Is it close to 30 minutes?
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:23.360
Okay, yeah.
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.720
But if if we think it's short.
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.480
But if you think it's short, spin it back.
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:29.040
Run it back.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.279
Put that bitch on replay.
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:32.000
Exactly.
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.279
Random numbers.
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.160
Yeah.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.040
No, I I kept asking like every time I'd be over your album, like, when's when's the album coming out?
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:39.600
When's the album?
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.680
You were you were one of many, man.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:42.480
You were one of many.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.079
We're on the album.
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.800
We were asking him, yo, when's the album coming out?
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:54.879
And and I think it came out, I think it was I knew it was time when we started recording, uh, we started recording more stuff.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.920
They just like it it definitely sounds more mature.
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:10.240
Uh, and then I was like, okay, we this can't be like either we put this out or it, you know, in order to make it longer, it's just gonna be too convoluted.
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:19.439
So I was like, this this is a perfect, you know, example of everything we've been working on, and then uh the new one, uh, which hopefully it should be out by fall.
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.040
It shows you where we're at now.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.480
So okay, okay.
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:28.959
Yeah, we're gonna just you know, I think Rod came up with an idea of let's just start, you know, dropping little packs.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.639
And that's something you worked on quite a uh for a minute back in the day.
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.240
You were doing like little six packs.
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:35.600
Six packers.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:36.079
Right.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.639
Sixers.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:39.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.519
Some you know, just a quick pack to try to, you know, and make push yourself out.
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:44.720
Makes things easier.
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:51.040
You ain't gotta mix entire projects and wait so long, just keep consistent, stay in people's faces.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.319
There you go.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.399
Or dropping like single, like almost like a single every month.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:57.360
Yeah, right.
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.439
Just consistency is key, you know.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:08.000
And I think on top of that, like to that extent, I uh I'm I'm a guy that like I get the single mindset, right?
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.040
Constantly pushing out, but uh sometimes it might feel like it takes away from the art.
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:19.519
And I like to I want to have each one of our projects to kind of have some kind of theme.
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.279
Alright, so this one was completely produced by me and we have features.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:28.639
Uh the features that we have on there have been guys that have been with us from the beginning, right?
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:42.000
Uh CO, uh Young Indy and Syndrome have been some of our you know bigger, biggest, you know, this just rappers that just put us on, helped us, you know, get on shows, uh, gave us mad features throughout the years.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.800
Uh so it was something I felt like we had to include them.
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:53.360
And then the next one, uh, which maybe I don't I don't want to delete too much of it, but uh it's gonna instead of features, we got producers.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.319
Okay, okay.
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.240
You know, well uh a lot of people that you know that really rock with us.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:00.000
Yeah.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.879
Just uh change up the vibe because I I definitely feel like volume two is gonna be a different vibe from volume one.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:12.399
Um you know, producer-wise and just the way we sound wise too.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.319
The way we approach records, right?
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.560
Like, yeah, it's more like I say it's more songs than more rapping.
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:22.959
Yeah, I would I would agree.
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.399
A lot of the material I heard from you guys is got like it'll have the song title and the hook.
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.040
And it'll think you'll think it's about this situation, but no, you guys flip it.
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.040
That's what I like about that shit.
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:43.439
Yeah, I think that's why we I think that's why it took so long to get this one out, just because it's like it was stuff that I was, you know, that I held close to the heart.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.920
Uh uh, just the stuff that we created.
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:53.600
And I didn't want to just put it out without it, you know, sounding the way that I pictured it, you know what I mean?
00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:04.399
Like I needed i I needed my skills when I'm not saying they're they're great or they're good, but I needed my my ma my mixing skills to match the level of uh the the lyrics that these guys brought.
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.600
So I think that was one of the hold of why it took so long.
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.839
But even then, like I still think these songs hold the test of time.
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:12.879
Yes, sir.
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.720
I can't wait, man.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:37.039
So going back to the whole between singles and and projects, um on the flip side, I'm more of a single person because I feel with the attention span of people nowadays, it is uh really hard to keep people to not keep enough attention to listen to a whole project and then things are gonna get great songs, yeah, are gonna get skipped over and missed.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:37.360
Yeah.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:49.759
So I mean what just given a flip side to what you guys said as far as how do you keep the attention of today's audience nowadays with the you know one minute, one minute 30 second songs and things like that.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.080
I think it depends on what type of artist you are.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.840
It's no right or wrong answer.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.759
If uh if you're like more of a single artist and that's what you like, then go that way and take that approach.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:14.159
But if you like your art, if your artist usually like say if you're going like storytelling throughout the album, then you have an album, uh, you know, that's how you release it, and then maybe you just market a few singles off of there or whatever the case may be.
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.320
But I really think there's no incorrect approach.
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.720
It just depends on your style of art.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.159
What you're trying to put out at the time.
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:20.960
Exactly.
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:33.120
Because it's like it and that I'm kind of maybe on the uh on the by myself on the mindset of you know, I'd rather have a a whole complete project because P dropped how many singles last year?
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.879
I dropped eight singles last year.
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.120
Yeah, at one point him and Family were going, you know, single for single every month.
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.480
It was dope to see.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:53.679
It was cool to see because it's like you had two different artists, you know, coming uh coming out with two different sounds and doing doing stuff at a at a dope level, and then Rye dropping uh uh the uh you know the score volume one and two.
00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:00.080
So like we you know, we've been working, it's kind of this is just like the the I guess the main event at this point right now.
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:09.519
So right now we're kind of focusing on really showcasing what us as a crew, you know, we're able to put out because like Johnny always asked us, you know, when's this album coming out?
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:11.360
And plenty of the people did too.
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:17.440
You know, you guys have been a crew for X amount of time, you guys don't have a body of work together, you guys have songs all over the place.
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.639
So I think that was one of the mentalities that was like, yo, this has to be uh a full-on project.
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:33.200
And I think with the volume one and volume two, when you put them together, uh hopefully by this time next year, it you know, the full effect of it, you know, just pulls everything together.
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:34.559
Exactly.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:34.879
Okay.
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.600
Very true, sir.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.399
Very true.
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:49.200
You know, some people just don't like sequels, but hopefully we do Terminator 2 and not the Godfather 3.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.080
So fingers crossed on that.
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:52.720
That's right.
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:53.600
Uh-oh.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.519
Fat finger something.
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.960
So we can get into some music, man, get into one of the songs, man.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:10:59.440
Let's check it out.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.080
Yeah, so uh so uh I'm gonna play actually what I was playing.
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.559
Uh it's actually uh called Don't Make a Sound uh featuring syndrome.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.320
Uh it kind of I don't even know really where this came from.
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:22.480
I think we just kind of got together, did the first verse, laid it down, and just had like an idea just this idea with just no real uh picture of what it I wanted to be.
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.799
I just had a verse that I really wanted to get out.
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.039
Uh and everybody kind of just followed suit.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.879
And when syndrome came through and just did this hook, tied it all together.
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.039
And uh yeah, it's called Don't Make a Sound.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.639
I kind of feel like, hold on, my bad.
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:52.639
I kind of feel like whenever we do whenever we do music, like we'll like you know, we'll always line up all the beats for whatever we're gonna be working on and everything, and then like right away, I kind of feel like we all just know each other so well that we could just listen to a beat and we're just like, alright, we know what we're gonna say on this.
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.200
You know, like we've always been kind of in sync like that.
00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:14.000
So it's just been kind of easier, easy for us to like actually, you know, like if I was writing out one song, they would be writing out a different song, and then you know, we didn't even show each other what we wrote, but then we were like, alright, just just write to this, write to that, and then we would just come up with each other and same wavelength and yeah, yeah, it just that's that's just how we were.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:28.399
And even if the the verses don't necessarily match the the essence in the the maybe it's almost like a double entangre where you can take one verse, one person's verse would be about a different topic than the next person's, but they all kind of uh in sync tie in together.
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.639
So I think this is one of the examples of that.
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:34.000
So uh it's called Don't Make It Sound, uh featuring syndrome.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.720
Here we go.
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.759
So below the surface, right here.
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.320
Smoke is bored.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:44.720
Uh-huh.
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.679
You know what it is.
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.639
Hey yo, everybody see that's what's up for gather.
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.840
Went through the stomach, hurt for the lick the minute you got him.
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.799
The taste is still to your battery, go straight up, stick it up.
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:29.360
Just up and told me, I just look at the pistol, cut with the chip when you take the bullet focus, stick in the cook, look at the child, we get to the country, the focus and chest, but the focus is a very good thing.
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.399
We got plenty of thoughts watching the village divide.
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.759
Yeah, that was don't make it so.
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.679
Okay, okay.
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.120
Be quiet.
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.559
Know what you know in your mind.
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.120
He came through with that that griminess and tied it all together.
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.240
So Rom.
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.480
Yeah, shout out to Syndrome, Kingsman.
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.679
Oh yeah.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.120
That shit was fire.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.759
Yup.
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.160
When it's got that he, baby.
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:11.440
Yeah, dude, I I like Roman life.
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.400
He's dope as hell.
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:13.039
Yeah.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.039
Yeah, he's one of those dudes that's like mad, mad, humble too.
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.799
You know, he didn't jump on the track with anybody and he's just, you know.
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.000
Yeah, he I think he's gonna bless the trap, uh me and Josh again.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:26.799
Yeah, sure.
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.559
Yeah, that that's a dope ass track too.
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.400
I can't wait for people to hear that too.
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.000
I know, man, I gotta get back in the booth soon.
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.400
Knock that shit out.
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.440
Yeah, you know, you can't you can't rush when uh everything you know we were working on.
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:51.920
I know we we're here to talk about that, but what we're working on too over there, you know, you can't rush that type of you know, that type of roast.
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.200
Divine timing.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:54.960
Divine timing.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.559
Can't rush the cooking on that on that on that lechon, you know, you gotta let that succeed.
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.759
That's true, true, true.
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.839
Take your time, take your time.
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.039
Yeah, man.
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.279
Um, so you said you you're working on the second volume too, or it's already ready.
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:14.240
It it's uh I would say about this time, it's probably fifty.
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:15.440
Fifty percent.
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.279
It uh writing and recording is probably seventy-five percent done.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.920
The rest of it is gonna be mixing and you know getting everything kind of squared away.
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.359
Um but yeah, it's it's it's very far along.
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.480
I would say.
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:40.079
Um so like uh as a collective, because I know I remember you telling us the last interview we had I think we had you and uh CEO on the first time we had joined.
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.640
I know you said a lot of like Vinny Paz and like Jedi Mind tricks and influence.
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.759
What are some of the other influences Morgusborg as a whole?
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.920
Man, I I'll let I'm sorry, 'cause I think it's it's so wildly.
00:18:54.880 --> 00:19:08.160
I feel like I feel like over the years, like it's definitely like a lot of things have changed over the years, you know, listening to different rappers that I didn't even uh like know back then, you know, like that I do now.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.559
Like uh my commune for one.
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:23.519
Um you know, I he you know, he's been around for a minute and I just didn't understand him like that and I didn't really rock with him and then I don't know what happened, but you know, I just started listening to him and you know, just realizing how dope he was.
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.519
Same with like uh Rock Marciano.
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:39.759
Rock Marciano's dope as hell, you know, and it was j like I said, it was just like I feel like as you get older, you know, like throughout the years, you know, you just start listening to you like newer stuff, you know, you just want to just open up and listen to stuff that you ain't never listened to before.
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:45.759
And that was like there's two some of the two that are like certainly one of the ones that you know open my eyes to different things.
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.759
I feel like uh Alchemist is like our through line through everything.
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:54.480
Like we like all three of us like him for sure, the same amount.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:10.480
Yeah, and I think uh another thing that kind of makes this uniquely work is that we all have obviously artists that bring us together, like Alchemist or Griselda, or you know, the locks and stuff like that, the classic shit that you know that really groups people together.
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:19.119
But I think the wonderful thing of it is that we all go off, you know, our separate ways with like, you know, Mac Miller, LaRussell, you know.
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:28.960
I'm starting to get into a lot of other like underground stuff, or maybe even like going back to rediscovering, you know, industry stuff that I wasn't previewed to during high school and stuff like that.
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:46.400
So that really molds our our our sound as well, because um just throughout the the you know this project and the one that we we worked before, or even Compa or Rod Zombie, you can hear like just the stylistically changes of uh of just everything we try to put together.
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:54.319
So we try to you know round everything out where it's uh you know double time, super grimy, guttural, you know, stuff like that.
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:56.160
Try to try to blend it all in together.
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:58.400
Just the different influences, yeah, right, right.
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.920
And it comes like like I be thinking a lot about the hooks now.
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:19.039
So I like I'll listen to a lot of DMX and 50 Cent because I feel like they like mastered making songs and hooks, like the verses, like everybody's gonna do their 16 to that, but like the hook to like catch somebody, that's like a tough part.
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.160
Yeah, you know, it was great with Akon was great with those hooks.
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:23.440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:30.079
I mean, I recently watched an old interview of his and he said he basically wrote songs to make ringtones out of them because that's where all the money was coming from.
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:31.759
So that just says it right there.
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.160
That's just all the catchiness of what a hook's supposed to be.
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:40.000
And I think like uh to balance that out, I always try to like format like I don't know.
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:54.000
We'll we'll start working on a song or something, and we'll have like uh it, you know, Rod will come up with the hook or some kind of structure, and I'll just be like, Well, what if we only did the hook once and then we just slap two people together and maybe do do a give and go in the last thing?
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:59.440
And I'm I'm always trying to think of like different song structures that aren't necessarily your your standard.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.720
You know, uh sixteen hook, sixteen hook or whatever.
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:05.599
I I I feel like the standard's not really there anymore.
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:05.920
Yeah.
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:22.960
When I listen to a lot of music, it's like back in the day, it used to be you had your you know your three, four verses and your eights and your sixteens, and now songs are anywhere from 45 seconds to three minutes, and it's just exactly it could be 24 bar verses and a four-bar hook.
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.599
People just don't really follow song structure anymore.
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:31.519
And I think I I I I tried doing that too with like other people that I produced for, like uh uh Indy Uchiha.
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:40.799
We got uh a song that came out, Sun You I forget I butcher the name, but it's a song that we worked on, and he had I believe he had like a 16 or a 24.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.599
And a 24 he had no hook, and he he like really wanted this song to like structure some kind of way.
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:46.160
And I was like, right?
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:48.559
I was like, dude, that's that's your hook right there.
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.359
That eight, like, but it's not catchy, it's like it doesn't matter.
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.519
The the the concept of the song doesn't need this.
00:22:53.599 --> 00:23:00.799
So like you hit it with a 12 hook and then a four-bar interlude at the end, swing it around with that same hook, and it's just that's just it.
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.279
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.480
And so that's what I try to do a lot when I'm working with other people.
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:09.440
Like, just try to if I keep doing the same thing over and over again, it's gonna get stale.
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:10.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.440
Always try to find a a different way to kind of like make everything come out unique.
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.559
But but I also feel like like in order for you to be creative, you gotta step out of your comfort zone.
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:27.440
You know, if you're just staying safe the whole time, you're not really creating, you're not really imagining or thinking or something.
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:29.759
You're just duplicating what you've already done over and over again.
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:30.319
Exactly.
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:41.359
You know, like I feel like a lot of people, like a lot of the new generation, they say they hate older music because it just sounds the same, like because we all, you know, they had the same structure.
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:44.559
Hook, verse, hook, verse, and that was it, you know.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:46.319
But nowadays it's not like that.
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:48.480
You know, like rap is grown.
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:49.839
It's different now.
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:55.039
And uh you know, like we definitely felt like we never even had to explain it to each other.
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:56.720
Like we just all felt the same way.
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.640
It was like, all right, well, what if we did this or did that, you know, instead of just doing like the normal, you know, hook verse, hook verse.
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:02.960
Yeah.
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.400
So it wasn't it was something that we understood right away.
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.680
And I feel like a lot of people are just like that now.
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.400
Like somebody who mastered that is Kendrick Lamar.
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:24.079
When you listen, like on Damn, who have like humble where it's like hook verse, hook, verse, but then who have like fear where he's just rapping like three different verses, just going crazy and stuff like that.
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:25.920
He's like really good at mastering that.
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.640
A lot of it has to do with with what the beat tells you to do.
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:31.599
The beat will speak to you, and then you just go off the filling.
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:39.440
And then I've even noticed with uh some of the producers I work with when they're creating beats now, they're not even really thinking as far as in bars.
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:42.240
Like it's when he gets done, like DK, for instance.
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.680
One time he got done and he was like, dude, that's a 24-bar verse.
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.000
I didn't wasn't even what what the fuck's wrong with me?
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:55.839
He was like, it's supposed to be 16, but the beat to me, he's like, I just felt like it needed to go this far before, and it was like, well, roll with it.
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:58.000
If that's how you feel the beat should be, just roll with it.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:03.759
Yeah, I I I've come across that a couple of times where uh I've had artists be like, Well, where's the hook?
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.559
The hook can be whatever the hell you want it to be, honestly.
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:12.079
You know, it's all about what you create with the song and what what you put out, you know.
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.599
It real is gonna stand the test of time.
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.720
Real is gonna stand out.
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:24.480
Um so it regardless uh of what the structure or what you even do with the song about, well when you when you're speaking from the heart, it's gonna relate to people.
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:26.480
And I feel like that's what we're trying to do.
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.920
You know, we're going for that now.
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:30.640
Like we're not we ain't spring chickens, right?
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:38.160
We're we're we're talking about, you know, the real shit, the people depressing from paying bills, you know, life.
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:39.839
Just life and life.
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:41.680
That's what we try to focus on nowadays.
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.559
So it's like but it's from our eyes, yeah, our minds.
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.720
So different perspective from every gas.
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:52.400
So when you hear it and you're like, yeah, these guys are kind of fucked up in the head, just yeah, that's uh I'm okay with that.
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:59.279
That's some of the best stuff, like some of the stuff that you could really relate to, I feel is some of the some of the best music.
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:10.799
Like even when I was younger and everything was all grimy and gangster and hard, like I really gravitated toward like Rick Jills for what it's worth, or uh Busy Bones.
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:19.680
Um, I can't think of the name of the song, but he's got another song where he's basically just talking about life, and he's on a he basically says he understands if his people leave him because of how he acted.
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.519
The more emotional songs always tend to grab to me more.
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:28.240
Don't get me wrong, I still loved One Life to Live by CCA, you know.
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:32.799
But it's like some of those more emotional songs are the ones that always stood out to me more.
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.240
So that's what I tend to look for in when I'm listening to music.
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:47.359
And even my kids turn me on to stuff that I thought I would never listen to, like growing up and the stuff I was like, I'll never forget this, and now my daughter's got me listening to Halsey and shit like that.
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.799
I'm like, that shit's kind of banging though, right?
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.200
Yeah, and it and all that all that is uh uh you know inspiration.
00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:05.200
Like you can take you can take like a Halsey bridge and just like yo, how how can you add a 4-4 boom bab thing to that and slow it down and you know, tweak it, maybe swap out some words.
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.359
Like, that's just songwriting, you know what I mean?
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:15.039
Like exploring all that, even like I don't really listen to the country, but you can you can find gems in just every single genre.
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.039
There's there's stuff out there, and that's the thing with the country nowadays, too.
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:20.240
It it's like pop.
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:25.839
Yeah, it's it's not the old country that my dog ran away, my car broke down, my wife cheated.
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.720
It's you know, it's it's it's different, it's more pop sounding.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.200
That was my Jeep, it has 22-inch rooms.
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:40.319
You know, it's like I find myself listening to some Morgan Wallen, and the first time my wife heard me listening to it, she stopped in her track, she was like, The hell is that?
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.000
I'm like, I don't know, it's something about this song, just it grabbed my attention.
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:45.359
Yeah, exactly.
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.759
Yeah, I mean music's definitely changed.
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:56.400
It's definitely man, just like everything else, it's just evolving, didn't and hip-hop, like they say, hip hop didn't create nothing, it reinvented everything.
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:57.119
Oh, yeah.
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.440
It's still reinventing itself every day.
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:01.279
It's kind of like mimicking the internet.
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:07.839
Like the internet had before the internet, there were like sections like all right, East Coast sounds like this, West Coast this.
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:09.599
The internet united everyone.
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.359
So now all sling is like all across everything and sound.
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:23.759
And now they're trying to, now they're taking genres and like, okay, this is a country song, but then there's like a hip-hop drum loop, and and like halfway through the song, then it goes back and stuff.
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.079
So it's really all starting to be blended together.
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.960
Well, yeah, then you got so many country song and rappers on it now.
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.839
Yeah, yeah, and it's like or or metal, they don't have like a like a uh double time hi-hat.
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:39.599
It's like wow when you look when you really dig into it and listen to it, you're like, wow, this shit's crazy.
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:40.880
It's really coming out now.
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:43.519
Especially with producers too.
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:52.720
Like you get a lot of different producers, like even back I like I even feel like back then because uh Christina Aguilera dropped a whole album that was produced by DJ Premier.
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.440
Yeah, and not even a lot of people even knew about that, you know?
00:28:55.839 --> 00:29:06.720
Fire is still like to this day where you get like hip-hop producers producing for country artists, or country artists producing for you know hip hop artists, like there's really no limit to what you know what can happen.
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:17.519
And you know who really I believe it's I think personally from what I read and see an unknown fact about this, is Easy E actually started when he was doing Ruthless before everything went bad for him.
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.720
He was signing everybody, like he had black IP signed, I believe, if I remember correctly.
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:39.920
So like even back in the day, I feel if Easy didn't meet his demise when he did, a lot of what's going on would have happened a lot sooner because he would have had all these different genres of music and people at that label working together, you know, and it would have been ruthless would have been ruthless.
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:41.519
Oh, yeah, it would have been insane.
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:50.400
But I think I think hip hop's been doing that since even back in the day, because there's there's I was listening to like old episodes of our podcast and shit.
00:29:50.640 --> 00:30:04.720
And me and Rick talked about it how the punk scene was mixing with the hip-hop scene and then Blondie was coming out with shit, like they came out with that one song, The Rapture, and then the Beastie Boys came out, which they were came out first as a punk band.
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.960
Well then like even nowadays, then talking about punk and rap.
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:18.880
Uh I don't know if you guys know who Reddy Red is, but he he's got like a ska punk kind of sound to his music, but it's it's a lot of hip hop production.
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.720
Yeah, it's like he's a really I mean I if you if you don't know who he is, check him out.
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:26.720
I re he's got some really good songs.
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.960
It's when you listen to it, like first time when I play it to people, they're like, ska, wait, rap.
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:34.079
Wait, punk.
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.319
It's like wait, wait, it's it's it's a good mixture of it.
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:44.880
I think that's the economy of a uh of a good artist is being able to uh just find inspiration uh everywhere outside of your comfort zone, right?
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:45.200
Yep.
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:49.759
Like we wouldn't get some of the classic records without somebody going out and sampling some wild shit.
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:50.640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.880
You might have never thought about flipping or you know, looping up.
00:30:54.960 --> 00:31:06.559
So uh I think that's uh that's one of the the the main driving things that we try to do is where what can we do to up the annie on the next time around, right?
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.359
Yep.
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:13.039
Um but don't get us wrong, you you still get the whole you know, craft beer sesh.
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:16.720
Yeah, that's that's that's you know that's still always us.
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:20.000
Yeah, you know, even in dry January, we're rapping about craft beer.
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.880
Stay humble to your roots.
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.960
That's funny.
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:28.319
Oh man, stay wet.
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.119
Hold on now.
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.920
Let's get into music.
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.759
This is gonna turn into a different type of podcast at a minute.
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:45.920
It's more entertainment.
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:47.440
We gonna uh I'm gonna play Colin.
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.319
Isn't that cool?
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.440
Yeah, but uh so this is Colin.
00:31:51.519 --> 00:32:00.640
Uh this is one of the earlier songs, like I said, when we started kind of just bringing stuff up that was, you know, kind of in the hard drive that I felt was is you know really spoke to us.
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.400
It's one of like the very first songs that we started make that we made for the album.
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.119
I think we might have made it for somebody's album that didn't make it.
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:13.359
Yeah, it was supposed to be or I wanted it to be off the dust, and then you were like, nah gee, this is ours.
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.839
This is going here.
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:23.279
I got so we had a yeah, we had a song that we did over a beat that uh was over was you know uh we couldn't clear it.
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:23.920
We couldn't clear it.
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:26.079
It was off a danger beat.
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:27.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:29.359
So he he wanted me to slap the verses on it.
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.799
I was like, I I when I made this beat, I I I clearly remember finding the sample.
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:39.279
I did it all in one night, and it was just like I think I just played it for a week.
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:40.640
I didn't show it to anybody.
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.279
And this was one of those beats that I was just like instantly fell in love with just making it.
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.200
So when he when I showed it to him and he produced, you know, he's he brought this up.
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:49.839
I was like, no.
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.559
I was like, there's no way I'm just putting a you know a random verse over this.
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:56.160
So it's uh calling.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:04.079
The the name is a little weird because you know it's it's it it has to do with just um just the mindset.
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:09.279
Uh the way that I wrote my verse was more like a self-reflection letter talking to me.
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.160
Uh, and then everybody else kind of followed it, and it it expanded into something a little bit bigger.
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.440
So uh calling by Smogers Board.
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.799
Here we go.
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.720
Below the surface, below the surface streaming now on all platforms.
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:23.599
That's right.
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:29.839
You think your birth is reflected by how much you paid, but you can only take respect your word into the grave.
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.720
I'm not afraid of any of the mistakes I made.
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:41.599
That's not the Ferdinand Brack.
00:34:48.239 --> 00:35:16.639
That's all that we've got for the World of Hard of War the Gardecks! I'm not missing that we'll let them have a summer Word of the Scottish! This of the video Warner Walls! You give me two other fucking life! Let's not finally all the books that you tell them, but the truth they don't tell it.
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:36.880
Oh you fold the buttons.
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:49.039
It's worth it to be free if you track the side of my It's worth it to be free if you trap the side of mine.
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.800
Uh-huh.
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:51.440
Uh-huh.
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:55.119
It's worth it to be free if you track the side of mine.
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.199
It's worth it to be free if you trap the side of mine.
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:05.440
Okay, okay.
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.360
So Smokey Sports Entertainment.
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.119
I think that song was feature on the first blow surface message.
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:16.000
You're right.
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:19.920
Oh, Rick said it, and I'm like, Rick said it, and I'm like, I don't know.
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:20.639
I don't know.
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:20.960
Oh, yeah.
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:22.800
Did they have the hook on there though?
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:24.159
I don't think so.
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:25.599
I didn't play the whole song.
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:25.840
Yeah.
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:26.880
I know that for sure.
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:27.599
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:28.159
You're right.
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:28.559
Yeah.
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:29.840
You're right, it was on it.
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:30.079
Ah.
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:31.280

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:43.519

She just sent me a text watching it on Facebook.
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:48.400
Oh shit.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.920
Shout out to TDF music.
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.440
You gotta wait till the episode's out and listen to the music.
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:56.480
Yeah, yeah, you gotta catch it on streaming platform for that.
00:37:58.559 --> 00:37:59.360
Yeah, you're right.
00:37:59.519 --> 00:37:59.760
It wasn't.
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:01.840
I know I forgot about it.
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:18.880
Because there was a couple songs that we had dropped as singles, I want to say a few years ago, and it was off it was off of those that we were basically like, okay, well, we need to build off of this and you know do something with it, because we didn't, you know, we didn't really have anything out.
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:20.719
We had dropped Saturdays.
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:21.760
What was it?
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.719
Saturdays one or two?
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:23.280
I can't remember.
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:26.559
Volume two, because Saturdays one is in the in SoundCloud somewhere.
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:28.239
So the Saturdays two.
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:31.199
Can't release it because we can't we ain't got clearance for them beats.
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:33.920
But it is SoundCloud.
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:34.480
You can find it.
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:35.519
Saturday's volume one.
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.519
There's a lot of songs out there sitting on SoundCloud stuff because we can't get the clearances.
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:40.239
100%.
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:46.960
We got a Bon Jovi sample for one that's a great song, but it can't go nowhere besides SoundCloud.
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:56.719
There's an episode two where if you listen to it, I want to say it's called He's the DJ on the Rapper, the Below the Surface episodes, like the first season.
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:03.599
If you go on there, I have a bunch of unreleased tracks that I played on there that you can't even find that shit, dude.
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:04.320
Oh wow.
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:05.679
And they're fucking banging.
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:10.239
I think one had a Jay Dilla beat and Righteous engineered it and all that, man.
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:11.199
But that's the shit.
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.280
And like you were showing me the SoundCloud.
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.239
There's like so much Smorgusborg on a SoundCloud, dude.
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:16.960
It's ridiculous.
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:18.960
Our first album is on SoundCloud.
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:21.039
I didn't put it anywhere else but SoundCloud.
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:25.920
For some reason, I was like, yeah, this is gonna draw people to my page and my page only.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:28.320
Yeah, my first album was on Sakala 2.
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:36.719
Fear for I was I had a like a like an epiphany, like one of these days I'm gonna just get really drunk and just remaster this and upload it.
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:38.639
I ain't got no time.
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:42.320
Like I mean, I still feel like sold.
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.199
Yeah, they do.
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.079
Cause like we even recorded uh we re-recorded Eagle.
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:52.480
That was off my first album, and we were I bought the beat, we recorded it, and you know, we had I dropped it as a single.
00:39:52.639 --> 00:40:07.840
And like I feel like there's still a couple songs on there on that album that are that are dope that I you know like we've always I feel like even in Saturdays, uh volume one, like there was a lot there was a lot of stuff that was a lot of dope stuff in there.
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:10.400
There's a lot of good stuff and old stuff that was released.
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:17.360
We even went through and uh took on old all the best of certain vibes from LFP albums and created whole new albums out of it.
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:32.960
Kind of like a best of type, but not a best of it and re-released it under default keys, presents, the lowful players, whatever it is, and put it back on the streamings, and then all of a sudden it grabbed a lot more attention to stuff that we've had from 15 years ago.
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:33.840
That's a good thing.
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:41.679
Find a way to download it, and just give you a shit.
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:42.960
I mean I got I got the files.
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:44.000
Call it below the circle.
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:44.880
I got the files.
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:45.440
Hell yeah.
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:49.599
Wanna do a mixtape?
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:51.360
Yeah, hell yeah.

00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:53.760
I know that.
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:54.800
That'd be dope though.
00:40:54.880 --> 00:41:00.239
You know, you just like if you were to pick an artist, you know, you probably play like three songs from that artist.
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.199
Yeah, yeah, and you know, just go down, you know, because each artist contribute three of their old hidden tracks.
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:05.760
Exactly.
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:07.599
That'd be taking ass mixtapes.
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:11.199
Not only that, I want to go on live on um MixCloud.
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:12.079

Okay.
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.840
We got the mixtape, but then you'll hear it live like nothing like ever before.
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:22.239
You know what I mean?
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:23.360
Like a listening party.
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:23.760

00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.719
So, I mean, that's another thing that can be talked about too.

A smorgasborg below the surface mixtape.
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:36.159

Sounds like PyCon.
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:50.559
Literally at the studio and then the green, we probably got, I would say, half a million dollars worth of software on that thing easily.
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:54.480
Like backups of backups of different cubase versions and just that.
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:55.199

I can't stand it.
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:10.159
What I wanted to talk to you about too is we didn't really chime in on a lot.
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:12.320
Like the couple times you guys run this.
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:17.519
I know that's like Hyrule's side project, but the the uh Thirsty Nerds podcast.
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:18.159

Yeah, if you want to see hilarious, man.
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:31.840
If you want to see uh four drunken guys just talk shit about nerd stuff, that's the way to get a guess.
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:34.800
Here's the thing that gets me, dude, about the podcast.
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:40.159

00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.719
These other three guys look like straight thugs, dude.
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:46.880
Like straight thugging and bugging.
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:51.360
And it's straight nerdism going on, dude.
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:52.320

00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:56.000
Shit, I didn't even I listened to it because I'm like, I didn't know about that.
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:57.199
I didn't know about this.
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:59.119
I'm not talking to dudes at work about you.
00:44:59.199 --> 00:44:59.599

00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:00.559
Yeah, I know about that.
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:02.400
Damn, I'm off the loop, man.
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:04.079
And we we got our ears in the internet.
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:05.360
Deep deep seated.
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:06.559
We're internet babies, dog.
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:10.559
Comic books that I never even knew were out.
00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:12.400
Uh movie reviews.
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:15.199
Um you guys do video games too?
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:22.320
Uh we talk about video games and stuff like releases and mainly uh we we focus on movies, movies, video games, and uh uh comics.
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.719
And IPAs are craft beers, too.
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:25.519
So that's what's good.
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.119
Yeah, so like they started originally, they brought me in.
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:29.760
Oh, okay.
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:32.400
Uh so they had started originally, them three.
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:34.639
Uh they were doing it when they were living together.
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:41.760
And for some reason, like they invited me to come through and just do like a chop it up episode, and they just came in as a guest.
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:47.360
And shortly right after that, they approached me to be the full-time, full-time host.
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:49.840
And it, you know, we've been rocking ever since.
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:55.280
We got equipment, we do it out of uh the home based studio uh every other Sunday.
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.519
We get get up, knock out like two, three episodes uh all in one day.
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:02.239
By the third episode, you can tell that my PAs is hitting.
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:05.280
But we get reckless.
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:06.880

I I love it, man.
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:12.000
We should call the home-based studio the kitchen because there's a lot of cooking up going on.
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:13.039
Let's go.
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:15.199

What are we talking about?
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:11.280
It wasn't like there is no ditty oil.
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.679
We didn't use oil, we use fucking bog waters.
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.440

And this room, it feels small now.
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:36.639
It used to feel so much bigger.
00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:38.159
It used to feel so much bigger.
00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:39.519

I don't know how we did it, but we gotta trim out with you.
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:19.360

You know, that'd be funny.
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.440
We'll be doing the podcast, and you're here in the background sneezing like 27 times.
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:54.320
She's just a random sound effect now, and it just pops up in the middle of the pocket.
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:57.039
I had my wife one time, she was like, I'm gonna make a diss track.
00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:00.639
I'm like, damn! Gangster, dude.
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:02.880
The stories the wives could tell, man.
00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:04.559
Man, hey, your mama's watching, Jay.
00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:06.159
She's like mama.
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:07.920
Say hi to your mama.
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:09.199
So she slaps.
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:10.159
Shout out to moms.
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:12.639
But she slaps you through the goddamn phone.
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:14.719
Me and her month is coming up.
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.800
It's Gemini season coming soon.
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:17.280
Okay.
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:19.440
Me and Rick rock.
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:20.800
God help us.
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:21.840
I know, yeah.
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.760
I was watching, uh, I don't know if you guys are wrestling fans watching.
00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:27.760
Oh no, yeah, WrestleMania.
00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:29.840
And um Roman Reigns won.
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:31.039
Who cares?
00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:34.239
And I was like, I was I know, that's what I said.
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:35.760
My wife was real pissed.
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:38.079
I'm like, you gonna acknowledge him now?
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.119
And I was like, I was like, what is Witness's birthday?
00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:41.840
Oh, I knew it.
00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:43.039
He's a fucking Gemini.
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:44.159
No wonder.
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:45.679
That makes sense.
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:46.400
That makes sense.
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:47.679
Gemini energy.
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:50.079
Fuck Roman Reigns, man.
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:51.840
I used to be the we used to be the biggest.
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:52.400
I'm with you, bro.
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:52.960
I'm with you.
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:54.320
I used to be the biggest hater.
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:58.159
I used to love him, but now I'm like, I'm tired of this dude.
00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:02.559
His facial expressions, like nobody ain't shit to him.
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:03.199
Boring.
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:04.159
I love boring.
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:04.639
Okay.
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:06.400
He's just boring.
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:08.800
The same three set moves he has.
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:10.480
Played out, played out.
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:15.599
Two albums on the clock, probably.
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:17.920
We've had wrestlers on the podcast.
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:19.840
We had two indie wrestlers.
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:20.480
Oh, that's dope.
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:22.000
CM Punk should have won that shit.
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:22.400
Yep.
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:22.719
Yep.
00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:23.519
I don't know.
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:25.760
T for his old ass to sit down, I say.
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:28.719
He's got a little bit a little bit a little bit longer left.
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:29.519
I don't know.
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:35.599
I don't think we came to talk about Punk uh Kumpa that one time, but you know, as wrestling fans, we did an album not too long ago.
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:36.639
Yeah, Kumpa album.
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:37.280
Kumpa.
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:37.840
Oh yeah.
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:39.280
Here's the thing about Kumpa.
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:41.280
Fucking dope listen.
00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:50.320
But if you weren't there for the fucking release party, I could never listen to that album again the same unless I just remember the mask coming out.
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:50.800
Yeah.
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:52.320
Coming out of the Lucha Mask.
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.280
I don't know how you guys did the whole set in Lucha Mask.
00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:56.079
Ridiculous.
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:59.519
No, we didn't we did well, we did half the set in Lucha Mask.
00:51:59.920 --> 00:52:02.159
But I did a 30-minute set.
00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:03.920
That was the longest set you ever did.
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:04.400
Yeah.
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:11.360
It was 30 minutes and and I literally I can I can't I can recall only messing up like two times.
00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:12.079
I couldn't even tell you.
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.039
Out of all the songs that I did, I can only recall like two times I actually messed up.
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:16.320
Fucking flawless dude.
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:18.239
And I give you props for that shit.
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:19.039
That was yeah.
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:27.760
But it was motivation though, because I didn't know we had we had a show there, that we had a show there like uh I want to say like a month or two before that.
00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:32.320
And uh you know, like I don't know what was going on with me.
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:36.880
Like I was being too tipsy or something, but I screwed up big time.
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:43.440
It was just like you know, songs that we were like we would normally do, and uh I messed up big time, you know.
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:47.440
I was just like we were just going through the verse and they're both looking at me like yo, what the hell's your problem?
00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:52.079
And uh, you know, so after that I was like four bars, yeah.
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:57.840
So I knew coming into you know into the compass show, I was like, yo, like I gotta make it out.
00:52:58.880 --> 00:52:59.920
Then we started a bet.
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:03.039
We had like a bet to see what songs it was gonna mess up in.
00:53:03.199 --> 00:53:04.719
We had me and Rad Zombie.
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:08.800
The whole album dude performed the whole album and it was fucking a movie, dude.
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:09.440
It was dope.
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:26.239
Yeah, it that's that's that and Rod Zombie are one of the the things that I'm most proud of uh working on as like as a producer, because you know, I've I I've had beats and placements uh with you know people that I love and respect.
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:37.920
But something about taking and going back to you know the single mentality, both of those are full on from start to finish concept albums.
00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:38.239
Yep.
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:50.639
Uh you know, that that we sat together and we plotted out, and that I don't feel those songs, you know, as as singles, cool, they're they're great, but like that as a package.
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:55.280
Both of those uh projects as a package, uh you know, they belong together.
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:56.800
They all tied in so well.
00:53:56.960 --> 00:53:57.119
Yeah.
00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:00.800
It was like uh a Quentin Tarantino movie where it was like the what is it?
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:01.840
The Grindhouse.
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:04.239
That's exactly what it's like.
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:08.000
We we talked about releasing them that way some some way, somehow.
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:16.159
He's just you know, we couldn't we couldn't finalize that, but that was that was literally the concept that you know that we kind of came up with.
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:20.639
And uh shout out to uh DJ Roshna, uh Rest in Peace.
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:28.000
He took uh uh the main title of Compa and he spent he spun it in his uh in his playlist in France, yeah.
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:30.000
In France for about three months.
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:32.559
We were we were in the middle of Benny the Butcher and Saz P.
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:33.679
That's okay.
00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:35.519
Yeah, shout out to that.
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:37.920
How did he get how did he acquire your music?
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:39.039
I have no idea.
00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:44.880
Uh somehow through he heard of us through the greats, because I think he picked up their stuff too.
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:57.440
Yeah, because when we came out with Nostalgia Brothers, me and Yoda were being played in some fucking place out in between like Germany and somewhere else, dude.
00:54:57.599 --> 00:54:59.599
And they were like, No, from Chicago, Illinois.
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:01.599
I'm sounding like a Mexican.
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:02.639
I am Mexican.
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:09.920
But they were like, This is Nostalgia Brothers, and I was like, Oh shit, what the f and we were on the list with like big names too.
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:11.599
It's probably the same person.
00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:20.800
Like, he I randomly got a uh message on Instagram from them, and it was like, yo, tell P the villain to add me, and you know, this is the link, this is what's gonna happen.
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:22.639
I was like, I thought it was scam.
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:26.239
You know how they hit you over, like, yo, we get you this many plays, yeah, yeah.
00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:29.199
I was like, I didn't even listen to I didn't even worry about it.
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.840
I like deleted the message and they hit me up again.
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:33.679
He was like, Hey man, I need your contact info.
00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:36.880
And I was like, and I looked him up and I was like, yo, this motherfucker's legit.
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:39.119
Like shit was dope as hell.
00:55:39.199 --> 00:55:43.039
So um unfortunately he ended up passing uh not too long after that.
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:52.639
Uh uh, but you know, just even getting that look was yeah, they they text and you know, they rolled me on Instagram too, and they they played us uh a few times.
00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:55.360
Yeah, we were on a playlist for three weeks.
00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:56.000
Yeah.
00:55:56.559 --> 00:56:04.639
I think what's dope about this podcast too is I I check out like the statistics and shit, and a lot of people from overseas listen to it.
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:18.159
So it's like kind of dope because we play local music, but to them it's like United States underground, which is dope as fuck, and now they're hearing a new album that you know they probably ain't even can't even get access to.
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:18.960
They they eat it up.
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:20.719
Now they can if they search it and shit.
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:22.480
So they eat it up overseas.
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:22.880
They love it.
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:26.079
If you can't get access to it, hit us up, we'll give it to you.
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:27.039
That's right.
00:56:27.840 --> 00:56:36.639
Yeah, well I'll I'll I'll drop the fucking, I'll drop the the Dropbox masters throw it up on YouTube, you know, it's there.
00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:39.519
Whatever it gets, whatever, whatever works, you know what I mean?
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:40.960
Some more music, man.
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:41.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:43.440
You guys got a preference of what you like?
00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:44.159
Uh play.
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:45.039
Whatever you want to say.
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:48.800
Just to change up, like just to change up, you know, like the the whole thing.
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:52.559
Oh uh Christian on my bartender.
00:56:52.880 --> 00:57:01.119
You know, it's like it's one of those songs where, you know, we because like I said, you know, we still do our drinking, you know, we still do our uh drinking songs and everything.
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:03.199
And I feel like this anybody can relate to this.
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:05.119
I had to fight to get this on the album, by the way.
00:57:05.840 --> 00:57:08.239
No, you had to fight to get this on the album.
00:57:08.480 --> 00:57:09.519
I always wanted to get this on the album.
00:57:09.679 --> 00:57:13.760
I always wanted to push this out so much because we recorded this a few years ago.
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:21.840
Yeah, yeah, and uh, you know, it was just originally it was just me and uh Rod, but then we ended up getting CO.
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:26.639
So when we did the song, it was like you came up with the concept, I believe.
00:57:26.880 --> 00:57:32.719
Uh recursion of my bartender, and we recorded it, and I was like, yo, CO would be perfect on this.
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:34.320
CO would be perfect on this.
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:37.119
Uh so this is Crushing on my Bartender.
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:42.400
Uh the beat, by the way, would you coming up with the concept for Crushing of a Bartender on this type of beat?
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:45.199
I never I never would have pictured it.
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:48.480
Uh so this is Crusher and Bartender featuring uh CO, Mr.
00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:49.840
Pink Skies himself.
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:51.519
Yeah, below surface.
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:52.800
CO bleed.
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:54.559
Check it out.
00:57:56.079 --> 00:57:58.320
This brewery is below average.
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:00.719
Uh but the bartender is texty.
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:01.360
Fuck it.
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:03.599
I guess I'll come back here again next week.
00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:06.239
Give her my number and hopefully she texts me.
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:09.360
Check please, let me get out of here before I have too much.
00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:10.239
I gotta do it.
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:14.079
Don't wanna turn into a lunch, plus I gotta record a bunch of stuff.
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:16.880
Don't wanna be flirting over the tracks, fucking it up.
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.559
I was twisting it, but not paid attention.
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:24.960
I was there, she was glistening.
00:58:28.239 --> 00:58:30.719
You probably didn't notice it was hard for me to focus.
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:33.519
I just lens, I just my fanic captain that's woman.
00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:43.679
Cause I'll be crushing on my bartenders, I be crushing on my bartenders.
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:50.000
Cause I be crushing on my parts and this, I be crushing on my parts and this, I can't fart.
00:58:52.639 --> 00:59:03.519
I be crushing on my parts and I'll be crushing on my parts and I be crushing on my part and I can apologize if I go on the parts.
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:13.679
I don't think the place I get a case on the place, but in the skate find the place, open up the camp and a fish.
00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:18.719
I gotta escape with the start, which is the fan, that's the left.
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:20.719
I need to help the headers on the stairs.
00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:26.079
I need a liquid cover like a thing of light.
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:36.800
I think I need a duty, think I think I need a tuck, think I think I need a pick and what I think I think I think that go, but I really like a face.
00:59:45.199 --> 01:00:08.960
I be crushing on my part and I be crushing on my part and I be crushing on my part and I be crushing on my part and I take the parts I be crushing on my parts and I be crushing on my parts and I be crushing on my parts and I be crushing on my parts and I take the parts on my crush just turning as a bar.
01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:17.519
Ain't every drink by star with a bigger tip than a four star.
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:20.320
You make me feel better than the drink dust.
01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:23.039
Oh chip, I feel in a deep bud.
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:31.280
Wanna say something to make her blood in the drinks they look strawberry crystal like this liquor to make me wanna go hard.
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:34.000
Like a point card.
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:36.480
I'm pulling out the car like damn it.
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:39.280
My fist on drop, I still have it.
01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:41.760
Oh, oh can't do that shit.
01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:47.199
When it comes to ordering on the traffic, I'm going to round like an NFL traffic.
01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:50.000
So I can't chill with the plastic.
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:54.880
Cause I be crushing on my bartenders, I be crushing on my bartenders.
01:00:55.760 --> 01:01:01.119
Cause I be crushing on my bartenders, I be crushing on my bartenders, I can't help myself.
01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:05.679
Cause I be crushing on my bartenders, I be crushing on my bartenders.
01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:12.559
Cause I be crushing on my bartenders, I be crushing on my bartenders, I can't help myself.
01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:14.239
Okay, okay.
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:16.159
Shout out to all my drinkers out there.
01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:19.199
Crushing on your bartenders right now.
01:01:19.360 --> 01:01:20.559
Leave them a tip.
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:33.840
I feel like that's like mad uh uh uh just relatable when everybody's been at the bar is like exactly you know like who hasn't gone to a bar now and just like yo, the bartender looks dope right now.
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:35.440
No, is it creepy?
01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:38.400
That's how they have no tips, man.
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:39.679
That's how you gave them broke.
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:40.480
That's right.
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:42.719
Oh yeah.
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:45.920
Just don't be like waiting until she gets out of work and then you know.
01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:46.559
Yeah, yeah.
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:47.199
You have respect.
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:50.800
Respect, you fucking heathens.
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:52.639
I like the way you serve the beer.
01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:55.280
Yeah, you can you can crush on them, just have respect.
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:56.719
Right, right.
01:01:58.000 --> 01:01:58.800
Hell no.
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:01.599
You gotta turn into the intro of Rod Zombie.
01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:02.079
Right.
01:02:03.360 --> 01:02:04.320
But that's what I'm saying.
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:18.719
Like we you know, uh Rod usually comes up with all the uh the the concepts for the songs, uh, and then we kind of just like jump on board and figure out the and like you said earlier, he's been focusing a lot on you know, hook-wise, right?
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:22.400
Like how can how can we make these these hooks jump and bounce?
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:25.039
The same thing with calling, the calling was just supposed to ride through.
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:26.559
There wasn't supposed to be a hook on that.
01:02:26.960 --> 01:02:29.760
Uh and then he came out and that's like a really dope.
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:35.440
I feel like it's a really dope, you know, uh back and forth uh computer reaction.
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:35.920
Yeah.
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:42.559
We did it at the Pink Skies on the last one, and it it it went great.
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:46.400
You know, I had the crowd repeating it by the end of the first hook.
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:53.440
And then we also apparently I offended people, but who cares?
01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:58.480
So people are too easily offended nowadays, they could all just find out.
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:03.679
May 23rd, we're gonna be throwing uh Below the Surface Live in Region Records.
01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:05.199
Yeah.
01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:06.320
Shout out to Josh.
01:03:06.719 --> 01:03:07.280
You guys are invited.
01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:08.480
What do you guys want to perform?
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:09.519
Uh the one in Highland?
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:10.320
In Highland, okay.
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:10.559
Okay.
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:14.320
Um, not the one where we uh not the previous one?
01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:15.280
Not the one in whiting.
01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:16.239
Not the whiting.
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:18.639
No, we you guys performed at the one in whiting, right?
01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:19.039
Yeah.
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:21.199
We're gonna take it back to the roots, man, and go back to the road.
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:26.480
Region records Highway Avenue in Highland, Indiana, May 23rd.
01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:31.199
It's a lot, it's a lot closer, I think, for me and Rick Rock and for all the artists we're gonna have.
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:32.559
I think it's parking.
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:33.199
That'd be dope.
01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:37.199
Lots of parking, lots of parking, uh bathroom in the park.
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:39.199
You can just go use the free bathroom.
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:48.400
Um it's it's a little bit more, there's not a lot of space like the whiting one, but there's a lot of more nostalgia in that place, I think.
01:03:48.960 --> 01:03:51.679
Um it's the same owner.
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:52.800
Same owner.
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:57.119
Jacob, he runs the one in Whiting, and Josh owns both stores.
01:03:57.519 --> 01:03:57.840
Okay.
01:03:58.239 --> 01:03:58.800
Josh is the first one.
01:03:59.119 --> 01:03:59.519
Shout out to that.
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:02.400
You know, we were the first ones to bless the Whiting.
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:04.320
We were the first ones to bless the Whiting spot.
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:08.320
And they've had some other shows there too, yeah, since then, so that's super dope.
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:10.400
We didn't get the invite back.
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:12.559
Not us.
01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:13.280
They did.
01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:14.639
Okay.
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:22.400
Um, that was a dope set because it was you, it was like was it three or four artists that were like totally different?
01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:24.400
Yeah, it was all completely different.
01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:27.360
Oh, it's Carol's E Dot Battle.
01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:27.599
Yeah.
01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:29.039
E dot battle.
01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:32.239
Um then uh It was well rounded, that was for sure.
01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:33.679
It was well rounded.
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:34.400
Yeah.
01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:35.920
Forgive me if I can't remember the.
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:37.119
I think that was it.
01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:38.639
It was those those three artists.
01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:39.119
Yeah.
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:40.559
Super dope, man.
01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:41.679
It was like it was dope.
01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:43.599
Hell yeah, we gotta do it again, man.
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:45.760
Can't wait, can't wait.
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:47.039
More music.
01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:54.159
Rest in peace to the to the uh where we used to do the uh the pop-ups.
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:55.039
Oh yeah, yeah.
01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.519
The creative sky pop-ups, yeah.
01:04:57.679 --> 01:04:58.719
Rest in peace creative space.
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:01.679
I'm working on something behind the scenes.
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:06.239
It might be a little of a drive, but you know, we'll see what it w what works out.
01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:08.639
What I'm what I miss, what happened?
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:10.159
We need to find a Mexican bar.
01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:11.199
Oh, yeah, they're closing down.
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:12.400
We need to find an Arctic bar.
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:14.159
Creative Space is closing down.
01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:16.000
It's closed down, that was actually the last event.
01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.239
He he booked he booked it to the last event.
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:28.000
So the from what we were told, the people who own the place, they sold it, and they're just looking to get something more bigger.
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:33.440
Uh as far as where and when they will have anything, we don't know.
01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:36.559
Um it was.
01:05:36.960 --> 01:05:38.079
It definitely was.
01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:38.639
Yeah.
01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:41.119
Look at this cutting me off every time.
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:44.239
Wrap it up, B.
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:47.519
It's time, dog.
01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:49.920
I mean I think it's it's time for a new phone.
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:51.599
This phone is this phone is dying.
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:52.400
It's time for a new phone.
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:54.719
Galaxy S10.
01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:59.679
No, it's it's messed up because I got the iPhone 10.
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.639
And my Apple music isn't loading like any new albums.
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:04.159
I can't look, I can't search anything.
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:06.800
I'm telling you, that they send a virus to kill your phone.
01:06:06.880 --> 01:06:08.320
This phone was perfectly fine.
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:08.880
Right.
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:10.480
Literally yesterday.
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:12.400
It is what it is.
01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:13.440
I don't know.
01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:16.079
I just figured if we were back in the studio and he was just like, cut it off.
01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:17.760
He cuts me off all the time.
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:20.000
Like, you know, do it again.
01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:22.800
Like I just recorded a whole verse and a new phone.
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:25.760
Capitalism strikes again.
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:26.800
They get me.
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:30.800
I always gotta get the newest one like a dumbass upgrade every time.
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:41.679
I've been I I I I used to be like that, but some something happened with this phone where somebody was like, bro, just get a new phone, and it like drove me to I was like, fuck it, I'm gonna write this up.
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:48.000
This has been more of a hard-headed situation where I'm just like, we're gonna ride this till this motherfucker dies, and I think it's about to die.
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:49.599
I I always go, I'm good.
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:50.719
My phone's straight still.
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:50.960
Right.
01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:57.199
And out of nowhere, out of nowhere, one day I see a commercial or something, and I'm like, nah, I gotta get that motherfucker.
01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:00.960
And then I don't ever use it for what the feature was.
01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:02.880
I never touch that feature.
01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:06.400
Oh, look at this.
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:11.519
I've been having to pad charge this for the past like three years because the C plug don't work.
01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:13.280
So I've been grinding.
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:15.039
I mean, you know, I've been holding shot.
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:16.800
This might be the breaking point.
01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:21.519
You're gonna get that new phone and be like, why was I even doing all this, man?
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:22.719
This wasn't even necessary.
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:26.719
I should have just my wife is gonna cry when I tell her I'm gonna get a new phone.
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:27.199
Yeah.
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:31.440
I gotta get a new phone basically, and I just bought a house.
01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:33.360
So now you ain't getting more.
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:34.480
You ain't getting a new phone.
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:38.320
It's a lot of work, man.
01:07:38.639 --> 01:07:41.119
Everybody's gonna have to stending the lawnmower, my guy.
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:45.519
No, if we market by me, you can get a lawnmower.
01:07:46.239 --> 01:07:47.599
And it's still expensive.
01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:52.719
I'm thinking I'm like, yeah, 75 bucks, dude, it's like 300 bucks.
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:55.519
I'm like, fuck! Hold on, let me get the cash.
01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:57.039
I buy the throwaways.
01:07:57.199 --> 01:07:59.840
I go up marketplace, buy that bitch for 50, 60 bucks.
01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:02.480
If it lasts that year, cool, I'll get another one next year.
01:08:03.039 --> 01:08:04.480
You know what you gotta do, low-key.
01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:06.159
The the the trick is go to St.
01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:09.840
John and there's like rich neighborhoods and go to the hit the cigar sales.
01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:11.119
Cigar sales there.
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:13.760
Swear to God, I got mine for 120 bucks.
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:15.440
That thing was used like two times.
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:18.560
As long as you got a way to move it, they don't they don't be tripping.
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:19.439
That's it.
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:21.199
That's the move.
01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:23.520
Take from the rich and give to the poor.
01:08:24.399 --> 01:08:28.479
Out in Indiana, it is fucking well, Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland area.
01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:29.199
It's mowier.
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:30.880
You gotta compete with your neighbor.
01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:34.560
You see them mowing, you gotta get out there and fucking mow too, or else the whole block.
01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:35.840
Be pissing me off, dude.
01:08:36.079 --> 01:08:37.840

Man, my my nephew's five years old.
01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:45.760
I'm like, yo, you need to start managing it.
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:46.640
You need to start learning.
01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:47.119
I like it.
01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:49.760
Does it want does it want 15 bucks?
01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:50.880
You can hit mine too.
01:08:51.119 --> 01:08:53.920
My kid, dude, he's been making$60 a yard, bro.
01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:55.920
$60 a yard.
01:08:57.760 --> 01:08:58.960
He's been getting it though, man.
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:00.319
He did like he did the whole block.
01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:04.319
He got a career.
01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:09.199
Man, he might as well make him some business cards.
01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:14.239
I'm a trenchman that I don't even make that much.
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:15.920
$60 a yard.
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:18.880
I'll be out there with a weed whacker if I have to extend paying that shit.
01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:19.520
I'm sorry.
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:20.000
Hell yeah.
01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:21.600
He's been banking on that shit, dude.
01:09:21.680 --> 01:09:22.880
It's all about the hustle, man.
01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:23.359
That's dope.
01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:25.039
Hustle man, hustle man.
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:25.520
Hell yeah.
01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:27.439
You guys want to ride out with one more song, man?
01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:27.760
Sure.
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:30.159
Yeah.
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:32.880
Rod, you ain't picked a song yet.
01:09:33.119 --> 01:09:33.359
No.
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:35.920
Well, then let's just play uh Chef's Kiss.
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:36.560

01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:37.199
There you go.
01:09:37.279 --> 01:09:37.520
Yeah, yeah.
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:41.039
What you call the breadmaker.
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:44.000
It was basically the anthem.
01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:44.560
Yeah, yeah.
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:47.920
It's the one that we, you know, we're perfor we've been performing a minute.
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:50.000
Like they we got this down packed.
01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:52.239
You know, this is this is our our bread and butter.
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:52.880
There you go.
01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:54.319

Let's get into it.
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:56.399
Let's go.
01:09:58.000 --> 01:09:58.399
Yeah.
01:09:58.800 --> 01:09:59.680
Another Friday.
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:00.800
Back at it again.
01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:02.239
Pull up, pull up.
01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:05.439
Let's go.
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:07.840
The point guard of hip hop.
01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:09.359
Yes, I is that, sir.
01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:11.520
Watch me hop, slam, dunk, the sick pack.
01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:12.880
Yump here is trash.
01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:14.239
How could you tip that?
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:16.960
Never been a snitch, but I am a gym rat.
01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:19.439
Leave me open and I bet I hit that.
01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:22.159
This whole matchup is a mismatch.
01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:23.039
I got it back.
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:24.880
Like a rip back.
01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:26.239
Everyone's eating.
01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:27.520
That's how I get back.
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:29.039
Discipline is boring.
01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:30.319
That's a big fact.
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:31.760
But it's a path of greatness.
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:32.800
So I live back.
01:10:33.279 --> 01:10:34.000
You have four bro.
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:35.520
You don't wanna miss that.
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:38.159
Favor, favorites, observing a tic-tac.
01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:39.439
I do what it takes.
01:10:39.760 --> 01:10:40.960
But double rip deck.
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:42.159
I won't be satisfied.
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:43.520
Oh, I'm a big deck.
01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:48.960
If I happen to break that, I know my bro got me with the tick back.
01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:50.079
Yeah.
01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:51.840
Just to respect this.
01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:54.640
Just one beat of villain and blacklist.
01:10:55.439 --> 01:10:57.279
We ain't got it to the best lip.
01:10:59.199 --> 01:10:59.840
Just it.
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:00.399
Come on.
01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:02.560
Just to expect this.
01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:05.279
Just one beat of villain and black list.
01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:07.439
We ain't got it to the best.
01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:11.680
Just like that.
01:11:22.479 --> 01:11:23.439
Just give the fucking two.
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:30.479
Step away the boys for me.
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:33.760
When it's not the next book, board not the fleminose.
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:40.800
I'm the building with the sex on my genetic dolls.
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:54.079
Yeah.
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:55.840
Just to expect this.
01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:58.560
Just one beat of filling that back list.
01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:00.159
We ain't got it.
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:01.359
Just back with it.
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:06.560
Just to expect this.
01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:09.279
Just one beat of filling and black list.
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:10.880
We ain't got it.
01:12:13.840 --> 01:12:14.399
Just test.
01:12:57.680 --> 01:12:58.159
Yeah.
01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:02.640
Just one Peter villain and reckless.
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:03.199
Ha.
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:05.199
We ain't nothing to mess with.
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:06.479
Smorgus board.
01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:07.920
Watch just kiss.
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:08.800
Come on.
01:13:09.279 --> 01:13:10.640
Y'all should expect this.
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:13.279
Just one Peter villain and reckless.
01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:13.840
Ha.
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:15.840
We ain't nothing to mess with.
01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:17.119
Smorgus board.
01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:18.720
Watch just kiss.
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:20.960
Yeah.
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:22.079
Below the surface.
01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:22.880
Hey, okay.
01:13:25.520 --> 01:13:26.399
Always love.
01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:30.720
Thank y'all for always having us in here and recording.
01:13:31.279 --> 01:13:38.560
Uh you know, this is uh one of the last bastions I feel like for uh uh independent music around here.
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:54.640
Uh there's a you know, there's a lot of places that you know prop up and you know give up shots, but you know, the way the thing you guys do, you know, like to a lot of us, we're gonna keep doing it, man.
01:13:54.720 --> 01:14:03.039
We got probably a lot of returning guests, and we're gonna be reaching out to some more people um you know, across the nation and shit.
01:14:03.359 --> 01:14:07.119
We're gonna be having default keys soon on needed.
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:08.000
Long awaited.
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:08.880
Hell yeah.
01:14:09.039 --> 01:14:14.880
Um there's a lot of new projects coming out too, so I'm excited for all that to be played.
01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:16.960
EDot Battle just dropped a new album.
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:23.760
Damn.
01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:28.000
I think we're gonna try to get the greats back down here and shit to talk about.
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:31.920
I think we're gonna do a collab with the Midwest desk below the surface.
01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:32.640
Oh, that'd be dope.
01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:33.199
That'd be dope.
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:34.399
Yeah, that's long-awaited.
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:35.279
Yes, sir, yeah.
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:36.720
Like an all-star game.
01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:38.880
Yeah, if y'all if y'all are doing it over there, let me know.
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:41.199
I'd like to come and swing through.
01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:42.000
Yeah, sit in the corner.
01:14:42.079 --> 01:14:43.680
Sit in the corner and just talk my shit.
01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:48.319
We've been talking about doing it since they started it, so it's just a matter of cooling it together.
01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:50.720
Yeah.
01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:55.279
That's a problem with uh middle age, is trying to find me.
01:14:56.079 --> 01:14:56.560
Life, bro.
01:14:56.800 --> 01:14:57.359
Fucking life.
01:14:57.600 --> 01:15:02.079
Shit, I had to change my whole sleep schedule today just to be able to do this because of work tonight.
01:15:02.319 --> 01:15:11.119
Like I literally I worked overnight, I went out at 12 30 last night, worked, stayed up until about 11 30, then went to sleep and got up and came here so I can go out and work.
01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:15.760
That's how it is nowadays, right?
01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:17.279
Gotta find a way to make it work.
01:15:17.520 --> 01:15:21.279
It's like when I get people trying to get in the studio, I'm like, yo, you got seven to nine o'clock.
01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:24.319
Don't be late.
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:26.800
You better come in one take Jake this motherfucker.
01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:28.800
We're getting to work.
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:32.079
Ain't no how you're doing, and no catching up.
01:15:32.159 --> 01:15:37.039
We just you better come in here and act like you spend your last three dollars to get this done and get it done now.
01:15:37.439 --> 01:15:39.920
The record the record is hitting the tunes, the doors open.
01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:42.079
Your voice better be warmed up already.
01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:43.840
You should have been doing your verse on the way here.
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:44.079
Yeah.
01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:46.640
The flow at your studio goes pretty good, though, man.
01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:47.840
It's it's a pretty quick process.
01:15:48.079 --> 01:15:57.840
Yeah, I I try to I try to one thing that I learned coming back to Alchemist, one thing that he said in an interview was like the best sound engineers and sound engineers do what they're told.
01:15:58.000 --> 01:15:58.319
Yep.
01:15:58.560 --> 01:15:59.119
Well, yeah.
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:02.960
And then you do, I mean, you do drive us in the right direction too.
01:16:03.039 --> 01:16:03.760
So that's a good thing.
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:08.960
But I try to produce everybody that comes to record in my house, I try to produce a a little bit somehow.
01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:10.800
Uh gotta, you know.
01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:19.039
It's always funny when when we get new people to come over to the studio to watch us record and how he records us and you know, mixes and everything.
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:22.239
Like everybody tells us, like, oh, you guys got it good.
01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:33.359
We don't really you know, we've recorded with FAML, we've recorded with uh I don't want to say critical, but uh over there at Vincent.
01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:39.439
Um it was uh it was Rob Dillon that was uh recording.
01:16:39.840 --> 01:16:41.279
Oh, over at faculty back in the day.
01:16:41.359 --> 01:16:41.520
Yeah.
01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:41.920
Yeah.
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:42.960
That's not speaking.
01:16:43.119 --> 01:16:50.960
Like we've recorded with a couple, we've recorded with a couple people, but you know, it's just like whenever we record, you know, like he's our engineer, you know, he's everything for us.
01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:58.800
So then when people come in, they see us, like our whole process of what us recording, and they just look at us like yo, I didn't know you guys got it easy.
01:16:59.199 --> 01:17:02.640
I didn't know people didn't record with 17 plugins already on.
01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:04.640
The setup's ready to go.
01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:05.600
It's already mixed.
01:17:07.840 --> 01:17:09.119
When would you have your regular people?
01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:12.880
It's easy to go, okay, I mean float up their shit here and presets.
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:16.399
I record everybody, I record everybody the same way with the same plate presets.
01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:22.960
When I mix, I may change some stuff out, but everybody gets the same treatment and everybody sound quality sounds the same.
01:17:23.119 --> 01:17:30.640
You know, you your your reference is gonna be and one thing that I didn't know people didn't do, I I mix while you're recording.
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:31.039
Yep.
01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:33.279
That's how Fingerroll used to do it too.
01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:42.399
Yes, when we used to record over Fingerroll Studio, because he'd be like, all right, it's gonna take us this long to record and this long to mix, so we gotta come up with this amount of money.
01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:49.680
And then when you first sat down with them, I'm sitting in the booth watching them as they're he's like, yeah, oh, I'm liking this.
01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:53.760
Oh I've always I always thought that was just the that was just the the norm.
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.840
We're so used to it, it's always don't do this?
01:17:58.000 --> 01:18:00.079
Yeah, dead bodies used to do that too in his studio.
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:02.000
Yeah, him and I got lucky, I guess.
01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:05.119
Wherever we recorded, they used to do that.
01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:09.920
So your EQs, I'm swapping EQs, compressing at the same time as you're recording.
01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:14.239
I've had a couple people that kind of like get set back, and then they kind of like you get the flow.
01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:18.880
Like I said, when when you come through, it it's always it's oh it's a home.
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:26.079
Uh so that's why I rarely let I I don't let a lot of people but when you come through it it's a home.
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:38.159
You you you you're welcomed, and you know, I make everybody feel comfortable, and they you know I've had people get kind of thrown back as I'm doing it, and then they get like, oh shit, like yo, this is a process, like we're we're working, right?
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:45.520
So uh that's you know, I've been lucky I got taught um I learned a lot from my cousin uh C's the prophet.
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:46.640
Shout out to him.
01:18:46.720 --> 01:18:54.239
I just watching him work and kind of putting stuff together and just you know, my life has just been around, you know, live music.
01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:58.399
My father had a band and just seeing them work and they did the same thing.
01:18:58.720 --> 01:19:03.279
They they didn't do mic checks, they showed up to the King's Yana and you gotta you gotta plug and play, right?
01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:08.720
So you you're mixing on the go and you ain't got no schooling on this, you just going off a year.
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:15.359
