my man producer DJ artists now this new album all
11
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.240
right born my man Python.
12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.079
P is here the biggest buckle here with Chuck.
13
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.359
It's crazy to see you in artists mode. Man, talk
14
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.200
about this transition to finally you know, you're used to
15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.280
being behind the sound of theduction and shaping the sound
16
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.840
for a lot of artists out here. And let you
17
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.439
talk your issue a minute. But how is it now
18
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.480
to come like step in the forefront as an artist
19
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.400
and drop your first project.
20
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.280
No, it's a it's a long time coming then you right,
21
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.319
Like I became a producer, yeah, because I wanted to
22
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.599
stay behind the scenes and not be in the forefront.
23
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.840
So you know, it's a lot of me being uncomfortable.
24
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.079
I mean even me being like a tour DJ, like
25
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.959
I had no idea I was going to do that.
26
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.480
So I mean me being in front of thousands of
27
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.239
people who are having to talk to people, and now
28
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.319
me just putting myself out there as an artist, you know,
29
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.840
coming up with an album. So let me know, this
30
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.959
is this is a long time coming, Like I've been
31
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.159
wanting to do a project for years, but you know,
32
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:41.920
everything is timing.
33
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.079
So so why why now? Because you've you've produced for
34
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.719
the likes of so many people. Man, And what made
35
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.000
it this year or was it something that you wanted
36
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.120
to do prior that you were like, Okay, I got
37
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.799
to actually step outside and show people and showcase my
38
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.719
talent and my creativity and really be step out in
39
00:01:58.760 --> 00:01:59.319
the forefront.
40
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.159
No, yeah, it's trust me, it's been alone time coming
41
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.760
doing this, But like I said, everything is timing. I
42
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.879
be wanting to do this maybe five six years ago,
43
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.639
but you know I've always kind of like put it off.
44
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.240
It was just never a good timing for me.
45
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.199
And now.
46
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.639
You know, I just went all for it because like
47
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.120
you said, I built myself up as far as relationships
48
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.800
with artists, my cachet of just my brand and who
49
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.800
I am. So now it's the perfect time because now
50
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.759
I can do the songs that I want and work
51
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.039
with my favorite artists and people I want to work with,
52
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.560
and you know, I'm fans of them. And then they
53
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.800
also like, you know, fan, I want to say, a
54
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.560
fan of me, but you know they're familiar in their friends.
55
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.039
I think it's a combination of all of that.
56
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.759
So I mean just me being able to call on,
57
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.599
you know, you know, my favorite artist because now relationship
58
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.240
is built and they can get songs done for me,
59
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.800
you know what I'm saying, versus maybe five six years ago.
60
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.400
I'll give them a call, I let you I'll let
61
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.479
you know. You know what I'm saying.
62
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.680
But so, what was the who was the last artist
63
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.000
that you were? Like, Damn, I'm actually linking with them
64
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.080
and they know who I am based off of my
65
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.280
resume and what I do.
66
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.439
Know I'd be surprised all the time.
67
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.120
But just think about the last one that that that
68
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.919
that comes to mind, Like, damn, because I know it's
69
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.759
I know it's a few, a few, but I know
70
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.919
it's it's multiple, you know, multiple people, but which which
71
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.479
one for you was the last one was the last time?
72
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.159
You're like, oh damn, okay, they know about me.
73
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:27.280
No, for sure, I would say, well just recently there's
74
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:34.400
so many, but just recently now it's Jewish from from Underachievers.
75
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.960
Wow. Yeah, Underchievements like a legendary group.
76
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.599
So my my homie reached out to him, was like, yo,
77
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.879
you should work with Python then, and he told me so.
78
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.319
So then I reached out to him. I was like, bro,
79
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:47.960
you know what I'm saying. I love the work. He's like, bro,
80
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.360
I know who you are, like you you fire, you.
81
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:50.800
Don't have to do that.

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.479
Yeah, I know what you And I'm so used to
83
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.960
doing that, you know what I'm saying my whole career
84
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.960
of having to pitch myself. But now like I can
85
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.240
just like if I see someone. I remember when I
86
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.120
when I met Jay Cole, he was like, no, yeah, yeah,
87
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:02.960

88
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:03.520

and soul and this and that. So I'm like, okay,
93
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.599
let's get past that, then let's work. Yeah yeah, yeah,
94
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.800
yeah yeah, Like like now I can be like forceful,
95
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:17.240

For for people that may be seeing you, you know,

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.920
because again you behind the scenes, so a lot of
99
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.079
people may not have seen you or may not see you,
100
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.680
or when they do see you, they're like, oh damn,

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.120
that's that's give them the roller decks. Give to give them,
102
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.800

103
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.639
produced for. So people got to know, you know, who
104
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:36.439
the biggest buck go with.
105
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.160

I'm leaving saw me off the table. But that's how
111
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.160
that's how much like like well, I'm learning how to
112
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.720
be present to where like I recognize and I you know,
113
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.720
I appreciate the things I've done, but it's so like
114
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.560
fleeting to when I work with people I just keep
115
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.600
but it really be a lot of producers that I'll
116
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.120
be so like, I'll more so be appreciative, are happy
117
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.759
that I've that I work with, Like knighte Wunder, I've
118
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.800
been a studio. I've been a studio with him and
119
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.680
like I'll play something or you know, I'll be with
120
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.360
so he'll play so he'd be like, bro, who's this
121
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.240
And he's like that's probably He's like, bro.
122
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.920
You so hard. I'm sitting there like, hey, yo are alchemist.
123
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.560
Alchemists will like alchemist will text like two eleven like, bro,
124
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.199
that song you got here? That's my boyfriend will tell
125
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.920
him he cold. So when they're telling me this, I'm like, okay,
126
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.639
now now I'm like, you can't tell me.
127
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.040
That's got to be a confidence booster right now now
128
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.160
that you don't you know, you're not confident about your
129
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.120
style and what you do, but it's always reassured when
130
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.160
you got legends and people that you look up to
131
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.160
that that that are confirming, like okay, you you know
132
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.399
you got that. One of the ones that I saw recently, Man,
133
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.079
you was in a studio with David Banner bro and
134
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.040
it was so fun. So how was it a studio
135
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.439
with you with Mick Jenkins shout out to him, and
136
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.160
you had David Banner on on FaceTime and I don't
137
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.800
think Mick was paying attention what was going on? What's
138
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:20.000
up to?
139
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.839
And Mick was like, oh ship David Bantner like know
140
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:23.720
that messed him up?
141
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.319
That wass No, No, that's that's that's so special to
142
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.720
me because when we met him right before we went
143
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.839
on his last tour, we met him at a studio
144
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.600
in Pasadena and we just hit it off. But the
145
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.439
ladship I have with him, it's I mean, it's it's
146
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.079
crazy because he's like a brother to me. Now he's
147
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.560
like a big brother, like you know, I can call
148
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.199
on him and he actually, Man, it's just special to
149
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.000
me because he actually calls me just to check on
150
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.439
me how I'm doing. We done did like a couple
151
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.879
of songs now together. But now he has a special
152
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.839
place for my heart, like for sure, man Like like
153
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.920
just for him to call me all the time and
154
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.079
he lets me know about his day. He checks on
155
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.680
me and my mentor it's not just about like what
156
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.519
you're doing, what you got? Well you know what I'm saying,
157
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.720
what beat you got? No, he just wanted to call
158
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.959
and talk to me, so you know that. Yeah, so
159
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.000
he's he's dope as hell. Man, Let's take it back.
160
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.759
To the beginning because for the folks that may not know, Man,
161
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.839
Python p you you I've heard you explain it before,
162
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.040
but just for the context of the conversation, the name
163
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.560
started off as an inside joke.
164
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.720
You know, it's it's so it's it's so many stories,
165
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.680
so you know, if you know, you know, but you know,
166
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.480
I'm from a I'm from a click that we started
167
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.639
and at cross a high call top notch, and so yeah,
168
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.959
it was like a thing we had within each other
169
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.079
where we was like always called each other a snake,
170
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.920
like we was all like it was like a thing
171
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.079
we had for maybe like like a like a summer.
172
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.920
Were just called each other that. So it for some
173
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.319
reason was like you a snake, you was saying, man,
174
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.360
matter of fact, you a python.
175
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.879
And then I used to have a gap. Yeah, so
176
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.120
it was yeah, so it was the whole thing that,
177
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.279
like you got the whole with the fight down.
178
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.600
The slipping, it was all that. Yeah.
179
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.360
So so yeah so that so yeah, so that actually stuck.
180
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.600
But it was more so like the homies just kept
181
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.519
calling me that and then I literally just like changed
182
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.439
my Twitter handle from something else to that, and it
183
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:07.519
just and it just became that.
184
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.279
Like and this is like two thousand and six, I
185
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:10.839
would say.
186
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.199
That's why. So was this prior to production? So this
187
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.680
is just the homies. I love how names like that
188
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.079
just kind of stick just based off of that, like yeah, yeah,
189
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:21.680
folks shooting on each other left and right.
190
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.759
It's not always like majestic, it's not always like it's
191
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:27.680
just it came from God.
192
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.839
I know. It literally was just like it was ragging on.
193
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.279
That's it now, Now let's let's get into the you know,
194
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.279
you said the Carson and obviously a lot of people
195
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.600
link you to apps, so you being is tour DJ
196
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.320
and that relationship first and foremost, But talk about the
197
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.919
early days and production because you guys have this, uh,
198
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.600
this relationship you know of brotherhood, right Todd Notch like
199
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.360
from from from Jump and I think that that kind
200
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.200
of works into you guys' relationship as far as on
201
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.679
the music side as well. But when was that first
202
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.240
time where you're like, oh damn, okay, I got something
203
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.559
or how did you guys kind of form that relationship
204
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.759
from homies to now doing you know, collaborating music wise.
205
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.480
But like you said, it literally started from homies, just
206
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.639
like I'm known to since tenth grade, you know, from
207
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.360
Carson High and then even after high school, like he
208
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.200
got kicked out of his mom's house and he had
209
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.559
to come live with me, you know what I'm saying,
210
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.440
and this like it's a roommate. We're gonna get there,
211
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.759
because that's a whole nothing. But it was amount of
212
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.960
time where like my parents were moving to Nashville, and
213
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.600
so when they moved to Nashville, they left me the
214
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.480
whole house. And when I was living in Compton, they
215
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.759
just they say, look be selling this house, but you
216
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.559
can live here for a few years.
217
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.440
You know, saying by yourself. I'm I'm eighteen nineteen, just
218
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:46.159
now got out.
219
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.320
It was crazy, yeah, yeah, And so this is the
220
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.080
same time, and like I said, it's almost fake because
221
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.440
this round the same time where Saul gets kicked out
222
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:53.960
of his house.
223
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.720
So he's like and so he's like Pete, like can
224
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.039
I come.
225
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.480
Stay with you? I'm like, I guess for sure. And
226
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.720
so when my parents left, it was literally just me
227
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:02.399
and him in the house.
228
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:03.399
We was like, bro, we really got.
229
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.159
This whole house to ourself like this is crazy, like yeah,
230
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.879
so we just so, yeah, we just and that's when
231
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.240
our bond it was like really formed, you know, just
232
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.159
live with each other and like for so long and
233
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.000
just going through so much was.
234
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.080
He working on where you guys it was the music
235
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.159
at that point were starting to kind of get where
236
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:22.080
you started production at.
237
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.720
That No, no, no, And this was two thousand and seven,
238
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:29.320
so around this time he was just just starting out,
239
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.080
you know, you know, getting in with TDE you know
240
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:33.639
what I'm saying, and you know, going to you know,
241
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.120
Stevenson and recording over there. But even before then, I
242
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.600
was like like I was always with him going to
243
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.240
like studios and like before he was with TD's with
244
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.159
Street Beat, and I was going with him to interview
245
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.399
to record, So I was always around him when it
246
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.399
comes to like you know, recording and music. And the
247
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.559
way I got into it is I just started recording
248
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.399
music myself, like with the homies, like like the homie
249
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.840
will have a house and Carson and I'll be the
250
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.519
one like I'll record, y'all, I'll record it. So my
251
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.360
my intro and the music that started there.
252
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.080
So it was more or less going you know, being
253
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.279
being homies following around and then said, oh, you know,
254
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.120
I can create value and I'll do it. I don't
255
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.639
want to wrap, I'll do it.
256
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.000
All the homies wanted to rap, so I'm like, yeah,
257
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.759
so I'll be the one to record y'all.
258
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:17.840
And that's just a way for me to like still
259
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.200
be involved, you know what I'm saying.
260
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.480
And how did it transform from that to Okay, I
261
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.720
want to start creating beats now or making music.
262
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:24.000
Yeah.
263
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.320
And I really fell into beat making just hanging out
264
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.759
with my big cousin north Star, north Star. To God,
265
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:33.639
I was like I was already. I would always go
266
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.360
to his house. When I go over there, he was
267
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.960
always like messing with this program, his music program, and
268
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.360
I'm watching him make beats and I'm like, bro, I
269
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.080
want to I want to try this, you know what
270
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.559
I'm saying. And he was like, I'll go ahead, so
271
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:45.799
you know, next few days, I'm I'm literally as a
272
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.919
computer for hours, like trying to make a beat. And
273
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:49.960
I finally made one beat, and when I did it,
274
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:51.440
like I fell in love with it.
275
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:51.879
I didn't care.
276
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.759
Nobody thought I fell in love to beat really shit,
277
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.919
So but I took the beat he was living in Pasadena.
278
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.080
I drove back to the I drove back to Carson
279
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.679
with and put up on the homies. It was it
280
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.000
was Magic Agent, J king Rich and Soul like that
281
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:05.600
was our crew.
282
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.440
That was our crew. We always hung out.
283
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.879
And so I took it back to the block and
284
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.080
I put up on them. I was like, bro, I
285
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.879
got this beat I made. They lay laughing like what
286
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:12.679
are you talking about?
287
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:13.480
You know what I'm saying.
288
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:14.960
But then when I put it on and played it,
289
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.879
as soon as it came on, they were shocked, like yo,
290
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.200
this hard. But what caught me was they started freestyl
291
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:21.559
into it.
292
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:22.159
Wow.
293
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.440
So now so now I'm having experience of like I'm
294
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.399
at a beat and now they're actually rapping to something
295
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.120
I made, and I caught the bug just like that.
296
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.639
Their reaction to it was like, Okay, this is it.
297
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.440
This is so Prior to that, did you have any
298
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.919
like love or notice for music?
299
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:36.960
Because no, thousand percent.
300
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.360
I always knew I wanted to be involved in music
301
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.360
some way like I would. I mean yeah, I was
302
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.279
always just like confidence, like man, I can I mean
303
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.840
like I can I can put my input on music
304
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:47.399
in some way?
305
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:48.919
Like I knew I wanted to do that for sure.
306
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.559
No, that's that's fine. And then see, I thought the
307
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.360
story was gonna go a whole completely different way. I
308
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.440
thought you was gonna say, you you made this beat,
309
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.080
you drove all the way from passing and ship and
310
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.279
then when you just presented to the homies, they gonna
311
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.440
sho on your music.
312
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.679
Liked it, actually actually liked in that. Yeah, and again
313
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.559
and they and they bigged me up. And when I
314
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.279
caught that bug like, it was like, yeah, that that
315
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.240
was that was the most fire I ever had in
316
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.759
me for anything I ever did you know what I'm saying, Like,
317
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.879
at that age, so what.
318
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:17.720
Were you working on? You said it was a program.
319
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.519
It is a program called Reason Reason, Yeah, the Reason
320
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.399
And at that time, you can buy like a crack
321
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.200
not buy, but you can get a crack version of it.
322
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.679
You know what I'm saying, Like, you know it's it's
323
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.200
you know, we passed a you know what's it.
324
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.480
Called sexual limertation.
325
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.720
We pasted that, you know what I'm saying, So you don't.
326
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.600
Figure got money now, no more cracking And that's funny.
327
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.480
That was reason for I'm on Reason thirteen. Though I
328
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.840
literally stayed with that program for yeah, for almost for
329
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.960
over fifteen years, have you.
330
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.919
So, have you tried different forms, like have you tried
331
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.919
different programs? Yeah, programs or or like from analog to
332
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.279
to hardware or have you tried like different styles and
333
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:53.840
you know, like.
334
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.200
No, yeah for sure, I mean no, yeah, well as
335
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:01.639
far as like hardware, you know, I definitely like you know,
336
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.320
did like different keyboards, paths and things like that. But
337
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.639
what's most important is is you sticking with one program?
338
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.960
Because when you do that, like, it's so much to
339
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.519
learn when you mess with a program. So now I've
340
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.960
stayed with my same program so much. I know how
341
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.320
to like manipulate sounds. I know exactly what I need
342
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.519
to do for the sound I want to make.
343
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.159
I guess I was asking if you have you tried,
344
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.080
like you know, because a lot of people use fruity
345
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.000
loose yeah, like if you try to use like oh no,
346
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:28.519
that's just not no.
347
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.879
I tried it, but I mean it was it's damn
348
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.679
there like morse code to me, you know. Yeah, So
349
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.759
so let me do the read the boom. So I
350
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:37.720
was like, let me just yeah, let me not switch
351
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.600
so fast because I still have like work to do
352
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.600
and like shopping on my skills in this program.
353
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.639
That's just me. I like to focus on one thing,
354
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.360
and you know what I'm saying, So.
355
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.000
One thing that I didn't include when I'm talking about
356
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.000
you man, it's you know, the biggest bucko with Pack Music. Man,
357
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.799
talk about Pack Music group and you being the head
358
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.799
show of the label, and talk about what Packed Music is,
359
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:01.960
the how you running that and how you can kind
360
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:06.039
of wear so many hats as producer, DJ, you know, label,
361
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.919
label owner and you know now artists you know.
362
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:14.000
Yeah, definitely, Well, Pack Music like started just as a
363
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.559
concept just with the homies. Then it turned into like
364
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:21.320
a production just group, and then I turned it into
365
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.080
a full like a full blown label like it was.
366
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.360
It was literally like those three steps, like and these
367
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.279
are the steps of me just taking my career and
368
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.840
taking everything I'm doing and it's turning it.
369
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.120
Into like a professionalism.
370
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.120
Like I said, it's the concept, so you know, it's
371
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:36.960
you know, it's you know, it's just we're just having
372
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.159
fun with it, almost like a hobby.
373
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.240
Then it turned into a group. It's just like hanging
374
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.440
out and doing this because we love it.
375
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.120
But I was like, no, I'm I'm I'm trying to
376
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.759
go to the next level with this, Okay, So I
377
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.600
need to ll see this Okay, So I need to
378
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.240
you know what I'm saying, like turn this into a
379
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:50.759
company and and see what.
380
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:51.200
I can do with it.
381
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.840
But I already had in my in my in my
382
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.039
head like what I wanted to do. Yeah, yeah, I
383
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.159
was like, as a producer, I want to be able
384
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.600
to like have my own you know, label, so you know,
385
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.679
things I want to do, I can always like like
386
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.080
just filter it through my label. Even to this day,
387
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.480
like I'm dropping my album through my own company.
388
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:10.559
You know what I'm saying, is it is it tough
389
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.360
to kind of like transition from wearing one hat to
390
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.519
the next. Like, you know, you're gonna be going on tour, right,
391
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.519

395
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.519
I mean I'm on my third tour this year, going

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.080
on the Joy Badass Toward the Dark Ora tour. We
397
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.759
started October fifteen until the end of November, so we're
398
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.799
about to be on a road for a long time.
399
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.200
It's about to be a gruelly one, but I love it.
400
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.759
I enjoy it. These are my These of my favorite people,
401
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:43.879
like you know Rahapsy.
402
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.240
I love her.
403
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.919
She's like one of my favorite like rappers. You know,
404
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.919
we don't make songs together already, we already have a report.
405
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.879
This is my first time, you know, I'm getting to
406
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.279
know Joey like that. Even though you know we did
407
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.960
the freestyle of the we did the red Bull freestyle
408
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.399
that was my intro to him, you know what I'm saying,
409
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.680
But now going on tour with him, So I'm I'm
410
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.680
excited about this because this is right up my alley.
411
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.079
I'm a lyric driven just like music lovers, so me
412
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.079
going on with three is three like three of the
413
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.920
best like lyricist. This is It's funny this this tour
414
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.599
about to be head popped. It's about to be it's
415
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:25.640
about to be all hoodies, backpacks, you know, it's about
416
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:26.039
to be here.
417
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.119
What's dope about this? I like the way you lined
418
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.440
out your album, lined up your album to kind of
419
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.079
have out there as well. Is that something that you
420
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.920
learned from the previous experiences, Like Okay, I got to
421
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.920
kind of have some type of product because now I
422
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.519
got all eyes on me when they when they come
423
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.240
to my page or when they you know, find out
424
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.799
who I am. You know, all they see are production
425
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:46.720
for other people, which is cool, but it's no standalone
426
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.720
thing for podon P. So did that plan to you
427
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.279
want to kind of get this project aligned with the
428
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.759
tour as well?
429
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.000
And this is all trial and error. I I regret it,
430
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.079
like this is me not being prepared. But like I said,
431
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.319
everything in line double timing. So no, I mean, of course,
432
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.799
in my perfect world, I know, I mean it works
433
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:07.519
out because I'm able to drop the album and go
434
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.599
on the road and end a promoter on the road,
435
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.880
you know, while I'm DJing, I'm able to you know,
436
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:13.640
play some of the songs I can. I can have
437
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.359
my merch y, I can do all that. But but
438
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.720
in my perfect world, no I would. I mean I
439
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.119
tried to, like line so much, so much up and
440
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.039
dropping in July or August something like that. But when
441
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.200
you work with so many different artists, you know what
442
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.039
I'm saying, like, it's hard to get versus back and
443
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:31.519
get time and get artists in the student at the
444
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.799
same time. So with this being my first project, it
445
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.359
is like a lot of trial and era. How to
446
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:37.720
go through so to a point where it got me
447
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.279
all the way into the deadline, like on my tour.
448
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.279
So I was gonna say, how how is that for you?
449
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:47.640
Like managing so many personalities and different artists that you
450
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.599
deal with, relationships that you stacked up over the years.
451
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.200
I'm sure maybe calling in some favors or tapping in
452
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.279
with some folks, Like what was one of the biggest
453
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.759
lessons that you learned putting this project together? Is finally
454
00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.720
getting it out there?
455
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.400
That's that's a great question.
456
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.400
Well, first, I'll first, I love it because like I'm
457
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.519
a I'm a people person, Like so I get the
458
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.680
most joy out of like getting so many people together,
459
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:14.759
and like you make you you form the best relationships
460
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:16.799
in the studio, you know what I'm saying. And that's
461
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.960
and that's how some of the best music music is made,
462
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.640
because you know, the chemistry is there. I'll I'll get
463
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.519
arts in the studio and we'll just chop it up
464
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.119
for an hour or two before me to make music.
465
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.759
You know what I'm saying.
466
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.680
Because now that are we familiar with each other, you know,
467
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.640
and we're like we're very fond of each other. So
468
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:33.519
now we're making the best music because the chemistry is there. Ever,
469
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.119
get bounce off ideas things like that everyone's comfortable. What
470
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.119
I did learn though, is and I and I never
471
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.680
take any of it personal. Like if I reach out
472
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.880
to certain artists that I've done music with, are that
473
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.000
you know who will say that, you know, the fans
474
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:49.799
of me are like I love your work. I'll reach
475
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.519
out for a verse and I don't want to say
476
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.680
no names, but I'll reach out for a verse and like,
477
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.599
you know, I get it done and then drag their feet,
478
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.880
you know what I'm saying things like that, Like, are
479
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:01.119
some artists that like I that I'm like, I'm taking
480
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:02.759
a shot. I'm gonna just take a shot, see if
481
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.960
we're gonna do something, And they'll be like, no, sidle
482
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.599
what you got? But then you know, they'll kind of
483
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.559
leave me on stuck. But like I said, I don't
484
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.640
take it personal because I just always look within. So
485
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.640
I'm just okay, Like I'm just not at that point
486
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:15.799
yet to where I don't have a relationship with this
487
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.039
artist to where like, you know, I can get something
488
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.880
done with them, because everybody on my project that I have,
489
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.519
I have a I have a good report.
490
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.359
Well yeah, you have. I have a genuine relationship with them.
491
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.799
So that's why I was able to get versus back
492
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.519
so fast and like, bro, I got you of course,
493
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.759
you know what I'm saying, I'll get it back in
494
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.440
two days, versus some artists they'll take so long.
495
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.680
I'll just be like, man, I'm not gonna ask some
496
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.839
more what I mean, I guess it.
497
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:37.759
Like you said, it's a learning curve. But at the
498
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.920
same time, it's like your life be life with everybody,
499
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.279
and it's it's it's something that man, it's it's kind
500
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.279
of tough because it's one of those humbling experiences. But
501
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.160
the same time, it's like this is a business man.
502
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.039
No no, and you and I tell people like because
503
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.680
you know, we all go through this, and as far
504
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.720
as like trying to reach out to people, are feeling
505
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.960
like you're getting shun like you just can't take a
506
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.799
person because you gotta admit, like there's people who reach
507
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:06.400
out to you and you kind of like brush off
508
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.119
only because you feel like, what's the benefit that I
509
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:11.039
have into working with y aall doing this with you.
510
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:13.119
So that's why I'm like, even if the person I'm
511
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.319
reaching out is like, it's not benefiting me right now. No,
512
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.160
I understand you know what I'm saying. No, like you know,
513
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.400
we can circle back around at that time. It you know,
514
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:23.759
it works out better for both of us. I'm all
515
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:25.839
for it, but I don't like the well fuck, you
516
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:27.240
know what I'm saying, Well we you know, forget you
517
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:28.440
then you know I don't do that.
518
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:28.920
I don't do that.
519
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:30.319
But let me let me. Let me bring off some

Relationship like curated over the years.
528
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.000
Everybody who is on there's someone and it's and it's
529
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:04.880
also it's also new relationships too, like Moray, like I
530
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.079
just I I became friends with him this year just
531
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.960
through through music. I did a song with him through
532
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.519
my manager Dough Wow. He set me up with him
533
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.160
and then from then we did a double song from then,
534
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.640
you know, I started chopping up with him.
535
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.559
I brought him over to the.
536
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.759
Studio with me, and so we did more music with him,
537
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.359
and once again in the studio we just with the
538
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:24.160
bond was created.
539
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.839
You know, I'm so I think I just said a
540
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.519
second a good said recipes. I thought you're talking about
541
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:29.079
berg're talking about dot network.
542
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:31.720
Yeah yeah, yeah, but but of course long live a
543
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.960
little bit Burger sure, but but yeah, so like Murray,
544
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:39.680
he's my guy. Yeah, you know, we formed a bond
545
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.720
like ourselves. We chopped up all the time. That's why
546
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.839
it's like everybody in that project, I have a genuine,
547
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.799
like you know, respecting relationship with for sure.
548
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.359
And you said so for you when when you're creating,
549
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:53.599
I know you said you'd like to be in the
550
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:55.599
studio and kind of like had that bond with people
551
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.720
and chop it up and create that production wise, do
552
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.640
you rather be alone and kind of cook that, like
553
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.839
get a foundation up for yourself or do you like
554
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:05.839
them to be in the studio why you're doing.
555
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.480
No, I like, I like cooking a loan only Yeah,
556
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.440
I'm like that only because like not not not that
557
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.240
I'm paranoid, but like I don't know. I have this
558
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.119
thing like when I'm by myself, I can just be
559
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.079
just max creative and I'm such oh I can't say
560
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.279
people please it, but I'm such aware of like energy
561
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.559
and other people around me.
562
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.079
So if I shrugging your shoulder when you're doing something like.
563
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.839
No, no, it's not even that I could be. I
564
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.160
could be at the table like making the beat and everything.
565
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:33.720
They could be sitting behind me on the couch. But
566
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.400
like you know, producers, we can like we can work
567
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.880
on the same loop for an hour and so like,
568
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.279
but I'm conscious, I'm like, man, they probably like annoyed
569
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:43.640
or something like that, so which throws off my my
570
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.200
concentration and that's just me and it's not their fault.
571
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.279
It's just me feeling like you know what I'm saying,
572
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:50.359
like okay, let me switch it up or now I'm
573
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:52.720
on sure myself. But I'm by myself, I can literally
574
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:54.359
just like you know what I'm saying.
575
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:55.400
Yeah, it's good.
576
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.559
It's good to know what works for you though, man,
577
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.519
because if you can set that back, not even a
578
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.319
set of at the boundary, but just allow people to
579
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.720
know that that's your process, they in turn won't take
580
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.079
it a certain way. Even it's like, look, if you
581
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.240
want the best for me, just letting me cook, you know,
582
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.839
presenting with ideas of what you already know for sure.
583
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.400
And I've and I've been in both works both ways
584
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.640
work because I've been in sessional artists and I'll make
585
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:20.640
the beat on the spot. But but what I'm learning
586
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.799
is just and me making beasts for myself. It's just
587
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:27.160
that's my comfort level. So I'm kind of learning to
588
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.519
kind of step out of that, yeah, and be uncomfortable
589
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.519
and being you know, students of other producers or things
590
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.160
like that, and just kind of cook with them, like
591
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.559
I rarely collaborate with other producers, like and we've cooked
592
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.359
up at the same time.
593
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.480
Like and so I'm I need I'm learning how to.
594
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.240
Step out of that space and like I said, just
595
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:47.480
being uncomfortable and just vibing with like other producers and
596
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.359
collabing like Fancis, I'm I want to get one in
597
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:50.880
with day one.
598
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.839
He just hit me up, like, bro, come on, let's work.
599
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.400
I just seen that you posted something. You posted something
600
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.559
that jumped in the commons styles work, bro.
601
00:24:58.359 --> 00:24:59.920
He been trying to work with me, saying with Maar,
602
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:02.440
saying with all that it's I'm saying, it's really me
603
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:05.960
always like like I'm just not me, not being sure.
604
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:07.200
It's like I don't because I don't know how it's
605
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.759
going to go because it's it's unfamiliar territory for me. So,
606
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:11.519
like I said, I got to just put myself out there.
607
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:12.000
But you're the.
608
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.720
Biggest buckle man, the biggest buckle talk about that moniker,
609
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.279
talk about that name. Where did that stem from? And
610
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.119
I like it because it's it's kind of similar to
611
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.319
when t I called himself the King of the South.
612
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.839
What I'm saying, themselves the greatest. You pick up this,
613
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.000
you pick up this, this, this, this alter ego, the
614
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.680
Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant, like all these people like that.
615
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.720
I like, I'm just telling you this is what, this
616
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.640
is what I see. I feel like that ever since
617
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:44.240
you kind of took on that persona things have changed
618
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:46.599
in a in a in a maximum level. You know
619
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.440
what I'm saying. But but where did that stem from?
620
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.319
And how did you hold on to that? And where
621
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:50.960
do you see yourself?
622
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:57.000
It's funny, it's stem from COVID, from COVID like just
623
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.599
clubhouse and so around then, like and I and I
624
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:06.119
met bro Too shout out Davis. I met bro Too
625
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.839
and everything at a at a comedy club. But it
626
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:10.960
was around that time. It was like twenty nineteen, like
627
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.200
he was like he had these skits where he was
628
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:15.119
like come on buck oh, like he was always doing
629
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.720
that and everything, and so it was just me playing around,
630
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:19.880
like I just started. I loved it so much. I
631
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.000
just started doing it and just picking up on it.
632
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.599
But I remember on clubhouse E remember the club I
633
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.039
was day. That's when it when COVID shut down. Everybody
634
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:29.559
their mama, every a R was on there, you know, yeah,
635
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:31.319
so we yeah, it was pretty much a party line.
636
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:37.000
But from then that's where I like just like brought
637
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.799
like brought the buco to Club Bolls. And I was
638
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:40.640
always just saying it, just saying it is making jokes
639
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.599
and to a point where it just stuck with people.
640
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.119
Next you know, they referred to me as like come on, buck,
641
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:46.799
let me guess what what what's up?
642
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.599
What's up? Bukoh.
643
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.839
Yeah, and it was it really just became just something
644
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.720
I just like couldn't like stop, and to a point
645
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:55.920
where like from twenty twenty twenty twenty five, like it's
646
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.720
still going but it did take on a life of
647
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:00.480
his own to where I'm on tour and people like, what's.
648
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.920
Up Buco, hey big Buck. I'm like, I'm I'm amazed.
649
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.920
I'm like, hey, no, this is crazy. You know it's crazy.
650
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.519
I could be on stage and people are screaming at
651
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:10.640
I'm like, okay, so this is different, but it is.
652
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.799
I remember me, and you don't have conversations where you
653
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:16.240
like trademarket and this and that, and I'm like, I
654
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.079
wouldn't even I'm still trying to figure out how you
655
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.880
even do, like to do merch with that.
656
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:21.799
Bro I saw when I saw Lebron posted, I.
657
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.359
Said that was different. When Lebron was like, what are
658
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:26.880
we doing?
659
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.799
I'm like, oh, but even even with that, like like
660
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.519
I said, even when it comes to merch, because like
661
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:40.079
for instance, with keem Are, or even with you, when
662
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.920
it comes to like you know, the dad things you
663
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.680
get that that you guys got going like like see,
664
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:47.279
like so yours can be a stand alone. So I'm
665
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.200
trying to figure out even how to like merch like
666
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:51.960
Bucco and I come on a Bucko shirt, but like
667
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:55.079
I still want something that like stands on his own,
668
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.319
that means something you know what I'm saying, Yeah, but
669
00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:59.359
but no, but it has, but it has taken on
670
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.839
it like a life it is on as far as
671
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:02.599
like that, that's really my alter ego.
672
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.160
I'm telling you, man, Simplicity is the best that the
673
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:10.079
best thing, bro. Just man, just just do it. And
674
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.839
like just like everything else in your career, it's like
675
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.599
you find your way to it and and things just
676
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.160
kind of like.
677
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.119
Just fall into it, fall into it, and things that
678
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:20.359
will work will work its way out.
679
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.640
But nah, I love the fact that that has taken
680
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.200
on a life of its own. It's something that's probably
681
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:28.480
you didn't even see it was gonna go.
682
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.920
To to a point where there's a there's a Buckle
683
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.640

684
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.799

00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:43.960
never gonna start like this is here to stay.
687
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:46.759
So so on on a personal tip, bro, like how
688
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.279
do you deal with like cause, I mean you you've
689
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:52.480
seen a lot of things happen throughout the course of years,
690
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.160
you know, losing folks, you know, being being down with
691
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:58.240
day ones and and and situations happen. How do you

695
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:10.839
the same time keeping your middle you know, your sanity
696
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.519
there as well. No, you got wife as well, you
697
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:15.440
got things that's happening in your life that you've got
698
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.519
to attend to. How do you balance both of those
699
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:20.240
life of the entertainment business, personal ship and your own
700
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.920
mental sanity.
701
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.720
I mean, as you know, it's it's a you know,
702
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:26.000
it's an every day It's it's an every day like
703
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.480
fight that you have. Are Like, how I do it
704
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.000
is like I like just to simplify my life. So
705
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:35.559
I've always been like that, So you know, even with
706
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:38.200
you know, me and my wife and is that is
707
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.759
music and it is my you know, my circle of friends.
708
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:43.519
But I mean, how I do it every day is
709
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.200
like I just focus on just stamp, just being present.
710
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.960
It's really just about that.
711
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.039
Like the minute i'm you know, I'm I'm I'm fixated
712
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.039
or I'm caught up in other people's like you know,
713
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:56.960
woes or problems are life. That's how I lose track
714
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.079
of what I got going on so every day I'm
715
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.920
always focusing on just being present and and just and
716
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:04.480
just focusing on what I have to do. You know
717
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:06.640
what I'm saying, Like this in my life, being president
718
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:09.880
is so important. Like I'm learning that even you know,
719
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:11.920
at this age right now could be for It's a
720
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:13.960
lot of times where I wasn't like that, but now
721
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.680
I'm I'm really honing in on that, like so much
722
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.680
of just being present, even with social media and things
723
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.319
like that, Like I still struggle with it, but even
724
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.440
waking up in the morning, like I'm trying not to
725
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:27.160
like be on my phone because you can. You can
726
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.759
wake up and go on social media. You can scroll
727
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:31.640
on social media. You go through five different emotions before
728
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:33.160
you get out the bed. You know what I'm saying.
729
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.519
You're scrolling, so you're seeing some more missing out on
730
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.440
this all. I'm jealous of this. I'm sad at this.
731
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.960
You haven't got the bed yet, so your morning's already.
732
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.119
You know how I know you you kind of like
733
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.640
really tapped into zen and inner peace. And I've seen
734
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:47.759
you with the cat. Bro I seen you with the cat.
735
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.960
I said, no, no, no, no, this didn't look this
736
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.720

737
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.039
So yeah, no, this is it's not my cats.
738
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:58.119
Cat was petting the cat.
739
00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:59.079
I got two cats.
740
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:01.000
I got two cats.
741
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.319
Yeah, no, no, And it's funny. I've never been a
742
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.039
cat person ever in my life. I never had cat.
743
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:09.200
I never had cats growing upthing like that. But it's
744
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:11.119
so much easier, han't cast They're like roommates, bro, Look
745
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:12.440
at Yeah, I ain't gotta tell you. I ain't got
746
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.279
to know because I did. I did the dog the
747
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.599
salesman for the cat. Look, I'm telling y'all, like, but
748
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:22.039
you know, it's funny. Cats have a black Cats have
749
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:23.960
a bad rap among black in the black community.
750
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.000
For real. My mama hate, mama hate cats.
751
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:29.720
Somebody, I got my son on the now, if we
752
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:31.640
see a cat in the back, get.
753
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:32.920
Out of why is that that?
754
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:33.319
Man?
755
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:34.519
Like, no, what what happened?
756
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:34.759
Man?
757
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:37.079
Look what happened with black people and cats? Cats just
758
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.480
be there for me personally and this this war. Maybe
759
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.720
you can help me out because that's where I know
760
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.160
you got that inner piece of that zen. When I
761
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:46.759
see cats, I'm just annoyed. They were always in my backyard,
762
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.839
always just doing But I mean, but but they wasn't
763
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:51.519
First of all, they weren't doing crazy. They was doing
764
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:56.240
crazy stuff. There was there was screaming, There was crazy
765
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:03.160
screaming and hit in the back exactly. Nah. But the
766
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:07.319
fact that you've got to that point, and my point
767
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.359
in that is that you've learned how to kind of
768
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.200
compromise with your situation and with your wife and I
769
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.160
and I think that's dope, right. I'm sure you have
770
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:17.759
your ways and things that you want to do, but
771
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:19.880
you learned how to how to compromise in oh, and
772
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.640
I think it's it's applied in life as well. You
773
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.400
know what I'm saying. When you learn to master stuff
774
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.640
like that, it shows up in different areas of your life.
775
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:28.400
So the fact that you're able to do that, things
776
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:31.000
that you weren't comfortable with years ago, whatever the case
777
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.599
may be, you've learned to now do it the same thing.
778
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.279
I think that that always. That also applies with the music,
779
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:38.200
things that you may not have been comfortable with years
780
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.720
ago sound wise sonically. Now you can kind of take
781
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:43.039
it to the next level and explore different things.
782
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.240
And you know what, and that and that gives me
783
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:48.200
like wisdom and strength for any other things in the
784
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.960
future that I made another obstacle, I may come across
785
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.799
because now I come across a new obstacle, and so
786
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:55.000
I'm like, man, I'm gonna get through this.
787
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:55.400
Okay.
788
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:57.720
Let me just like I said once again, you you
789
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.839
look within and e be present and you just really Okay,
790
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:02.559
you've been to this before, like you know what I'm saying,
791
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:04.799
Like you overcame this, You ever came that?
792
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.160
So okay, how did you do that? Okay? You locked
793
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.720
in do this?
794
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.720
So no, you know, everybody comes from experience, just like
795
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:12.960
overcoming certain things that I never think I'll do.
796
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.319
Now it's another obstacle. Okay, I can get do this.
797
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.519
So let me talk about one obstacle that you may
798
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:19.279
or may not have had to deal with it and
799
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.359
without there's no names anything like that, but when it
800
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:25.119
comes to you know, people on your production, it's a
801
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:28.720
sacred thing. I'm assuming, right. Has there ever been a
802
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.480
moment where you give somebody a beatpack or somebody's on
803
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:35.319
a song and they just don't deliver the way you
804
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.640
want them to do? What is that conversation to let
805
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.880
them know like oh you yeah, you can't, We're gonna
806
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.039
take You're gon We're gonna take you.
807
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:44.200
Okay. Are you saying like you can't have to beat
808
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.599
are we taking you off the song? Which one?
809
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:48.640
Listen, let's do take him off the song? But then yeah,
810
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:50.400
let's do that one because the beat that that can
811
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.920
be subjective because for a range of reagions, it might
812
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:53.480
go to somebody else.
813
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:55.759
Yeah, I mean a lot of that one beat. It's
814
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.240
just business.
815
00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:59.960
Like you know, if somebody's on on on a song
816
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.920
with yours, right and they just not delivered, Like, what's
817
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.960
that conversation you have with them?
818
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:12.760
Hey, don't networks that that's really that's really happened. Like
819
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:15.800
I can't say that, but no, that really happened on
820
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:20.239
the song that that that recorded a bunch of people
821
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.039
on it, but it was one person that was kind
822
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.920
of like that was that was kind of like the
823
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:26.840
Weekly It was slacking it. And first of all, it
824
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:28.880
was too many people on the song, and so I
825
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:30.000
was like, somebody got to come off.
826
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.000
And I was like, I know exactly when you come off.
827
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.000
Like man, I'm like, no, man, you gotta let them know, man,
828
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:37.559
because you know what I'm saying, don't know him to
829
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.760
you know, y'all break it to him. Because and this
830
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:43.599
is why having management is so important, because my job
831
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.239
is to keep the relationships. I always tell people that, like, bro,
832
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:48.920
like get you a manager, are an assistant.
833
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.400
So if so, you don't have to be the bad guy.
834
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:52.360
Let them be the bad guy.
835
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.280
But you've had to deal with that and be in
836
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:55.880
that role as well as you know.
837
00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:59.800
Oh yeah, for sure. It's the thing.
838
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.960
I didn't mind being a bad guy for the artist
839
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.719
that I always representing. Yeah, yeah, if they don't want
840
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:06.880
to do it, Look, they don't want to do it, this, this,
841
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.119
how much is going to be? You know, I didn't
842
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:11.400
I didn't mind stepping into that role of like, yeah,
843
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.079
of having to be the bad guy because, like I said,
844
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.000
because I'm all about holding integrity, you know what I'm saying,
845
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:19.840
So like you know this, this is what this person wants,
846
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.559
Like we're not going to be in the break or anything.
847
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.119
And if you don't want to do it, then you
848
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.719
know that's fine, you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
849
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.320
because I'm all about holding integrity, I'm really about that.
850
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:31.519
I'm not I'm not gonna like like I said, the
851
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.599
PE's or anything like that. So it was it was
852
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:35.760
easy for me to do that, but I understand when
853
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.960
it comes to me now and having to do it. Yeah,
854
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:39.840
I don't want to tell people no if I if
855
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.400
it's something that me and you have to deal with,
856
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:43.360
I'd rather like how my manager do and then y'all
857
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:43.960
can figure it out.
858
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:45.800
It's smart, I mean, that's the business side of it.
859
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.679
So of course, moving forward, all right, the project born
860
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.119
is going to be dropping, all right. I want to
861
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.480
kind of leave this as if the projects out I
862
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:55.880
know is going to be coming out at the end
863
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:56.519
of August.
864
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:59.960
I meanry audience, otok, But there.
865
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:03.559
I like putting dates on things at the same time,
866
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:05.480
you know, whenever you see this, you know, at some
867
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.719
point down the line after October thirteenth, going to support
868
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:11.119
it or whatever the case may be. But before we
869
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:13.800
get out of here, I want to talk about how
870
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:18.800
would you describe Python p's sound style? And the second
871
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:22.360
portion to that is how do you expand on that
872
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:26.559
and maybe pivot or how do you how do you
873
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.880
shape your sound for for future for the future down
874
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:29.559
the line as well?
875
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:34.400
For sure, how I explain my sound is how I
876
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:37.039
how I would explain who I am as a person.
877
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:42.519
You know me, I'm I'm heavy into zodiacs. I know
878
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.039
a lot of people not I'm heavy the zodiac. I mean,
879
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.280
I'm a Gemini. You know our you know our our
880
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.000
trades and characterations. You know, one of them is worth chameleons.
881
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:54.599
So we can kind of absorb and kind of fit
882
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:58.559
a lot of people's mode. So and music it translates
883
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.320
to that. So I can make so many different sounds.
884
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.480
And I do that because once again, like I like to,
885
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.239
I like to morph into like you know, and it's
886
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:08.800
a challenge for me, and I take on the challenge.
887
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:10.119
It excites me.
888
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:12.440
If if Sarah wants the type of beat, okay, I
889
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.360
can make that. If if if so need the type
890
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.840
of bead or you know, if cold one stance our daylight.
891
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:21.760
Once that, Like I pride myself and having just an
892
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:25.280
arrange of sounds because you know it'll be to me,
893
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.039
I'll be bored if I'm just making one type of.
894
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.000
Yeah you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So, but me, just.
895
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.639
The evolution of my sound will always me, will always
896
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.519
be me, just always like taking risks and just me
897
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:40.480
trusting myself.
898
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:42.880
So what does that look like when you say take
899
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.880
risks and challenging yourself as a producer. What are some
900
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:48.559
of the and the reason why I asked this is
901
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:51.840
because I noticed somebody that's watching you, listening to you
902
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.719
as a fan of you. You know, it looks up
903
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.840
to you that may not have access to you. So
904
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.920
if you can give that producer, that that creative that
905
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:00.320
a certain I.
906
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.760
Got the perfect And I tell people, I tell my
907
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:06.320
homies this. I tell people who you know who ask
908
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:07.760
me for the if I tell them the same thing.
909
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:12.079
Stop stop asking people what they think about your art,
910
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:16.239
because when you do that, like when even Mahomie teld
911
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:18.039
me asks me, like what you about this be or
912
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:18.519
this song?
913
00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:20.440
I'm like, bro, what do you think about it? Like
914
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.719
that's what matter? Do you think it's dope?
915
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:24.800
Okay, that's all that matters because you like you asking
916
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:26.400
so many people, hey, which talk about this? Which think
917
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.880
about this beat? Now there aret there are like may
918
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.800
not be your art, so are they may not even
919
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:33.320
be in the mood to hear what you want to hear.
920
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.280
So now you're getting feedback that that's not even warranted,
921
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:38.920
and now it's discouraging you. And I've been through that,
922
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:40.880
you know what I'm saying. Like and so me, I
923
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.639
never ask people like what they think about my music.
924
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:47.559
My job is to make sure the quality of my
925
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.000
music is there, So I don't take anything personal. If
926
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.159
I send beats out to certain artists and they're not
927
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:53.960
feeling it, Okay, you're not feeling it for sure, it's
928
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:56.119
just not for you. But I'm a damn sure make
929
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:58.280
sure the quality of it is a one to where
930
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:01.199
you can't even like you can you can't judge art,
931
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:02.760
but you can judge quality.
932
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.239
You can let them know, ah, that's the terrible art.
933
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:06.760
This beat sounds like you know what I'm saying, like
934
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:08.559
and you know, and you you know you do it
935
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.039
all the time, even with your you know what what
936
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.400
you used to do when you see like you know here,
937
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.320
I don't know why it's fleeting with direct yourself. So
938
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.400
you know as far as like you know, some song
939
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:20.719
may not be for you, but you know quality, you
940
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:21.159
know what I'm saying.
941
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:22.480
I can judge you on that. I can help you
942
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:22.760
on that.
943
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:24.880
But would always tell people like, just trust your sound,
944
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:27.400
trust your vision, likes, don't ask people what they think
945
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:29.599
about your art, Like just what if you think it's dope,
946
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:30.639
go with it, man.
947
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:31.599
And that's all I do.
948
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:33.960
Like when I make music, if I think it's dope,
949
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.440
I'm going with it, even if it's something that's like
950
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.159
that's that hasn't like came out, it's a different sound.
951
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:40.760
If I think it's dope, I'm going with it. I'm
952
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:43.280
pushing it to people. Yeah, and if you trust me,
953
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:45.480
just just doing goddamn verse on this.
954
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:48.119
Now what I didn't ask you? Uh, and we'll close
955
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:49.800
out with this. Why the name born?
956
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:55.559
Okay, so buco it's actually an acronym B dot U
957
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:56.519
dot C dot K.
958
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:57.360
I don't know that.
959
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.880
There you go, okay, and that's what I can't do.
960
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:04.119
So and so why would you even do?
961
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.199
But but but but I'm but I'm gonna tell you though.
962
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:11.840
So the first the first letter is born and born born,
963
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.719
I got the take one second, and you're never gonna
964
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.400
get the c K Carson, I'm definitely comping. I'm definitely
965
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:28.960
not born under said the content, you know, outside.
966
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:33.960
Born under comp kicking it outside that's hey, that's some ghetto.
967
00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.519
Come on, man, I'm I'm I'm way more layered than that.
968
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:41.039
I'm just saying I wouldn't know. So look so now, look, so,
969
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:44.400
so the first one is born. That's why you know,
970
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.039
you see my cover art is going to match that
971
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:50.719
the whole thing. But So that's why this whole buckle
972
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:53.000
all my albums, it's going to be a series that's
973
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:53.639
gonna spell out.
974
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:54.840
It's gonna be.
975
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:57.840
Born and then you know born. I'll give you that
976
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.639
one born under I'll give you that one. The second
977
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:03.280
was born down there, and then the born whom they're
978
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:05.719
born all the way into the He's not going to
979
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:09.199
can I can I I guess this this well, this
980
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:11.400
is not well unfortunate. Let me just guess it just
981
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:16.079
is to see a place or a city. It's not
982
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:19.800
a location. It is a okay, state is a state
983
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.679
of mind? Is definitely okay, I'll take that. Now, give
984
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:28.079
you some central central centered. No it's not center, it's
985
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:29.800
something like that's that's relative to that.
986
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:33.239
No, No, it is, it's the opposite the center.
987
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.559
Yeah, confused, confusion, Yeah.
988
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:39.559
But it's not it. Okay, that's yeah.
989
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:46.280
We are going under chaotic ohip almost almost chaos, almost
990
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:50.719
almost confusion. Look, I'm getting there about to confuse you,
991
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.760
I said, confused learning Damn, everybody's everybody.
992
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.360
We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna talk.
993
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.480
Okay, I don't talk afterwards, but but for the people
994
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:02.679
at the five at bath though and look and and
995
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:04.320
by the time I get to the old you might
996
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.719
you might get a sixteen from I might might, I
997
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:10.280
might guess something. But but but but but I'm dropping
998
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:13.800
my first single next Tuesday and on the thirtieth. It's
999
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.559
